Care and Maintenance of your Motorhome
Exterior
The exterior of your motorhome is very
durable and easy to clean owing to its high
gloss properties. To maintain a showroom
finish, one needs only to wash the motorhome
and the parts monthly (or more frequently)
using Care-avan* Motorhome Cleaner, but
avoid using strong alkaline (e.g. tri-sodium
phosphate) or acidic cleaners or abrasives.
Waxing the components once or twice a year
with a good grade paste wax will help to
maintain the colour and finish.
Cleaning / usage information
• Wash the motorhome by hand, using a
sponge with plenty of Care-avan* cleaning
solutions to avoid scratching.
* Available through your supplying Bailey
retailer or available to order direct via our
Parts Direct website
• www.bailey-parts.co.uk
• Always rinse away any cleaner from your
motorhome.
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or a
microfibre cloth.
• It is imperative to ensure that the area
surrounding the rooflight is completely
dried; this will avoid both condensation and
damp collecting around the perimeter.
• Where possible position the vehicle nose
down for a short period to avoid water
pooling and collecting on the roof area.
Do not
• Do not apply a carnauba-based wax to the
vehicle.
• Do not use a mechanical brush washing
system such as a car wash.
• Never pressure wash your vehicle.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not use acrylic cleaners.
Under no circumstances use any
abrasive agents, methylated spirit,
white spirit or other solvents to the
exterior of your motorhome.
No touch up painting should be carried out
prior to consulting with a Bailey Service Centre
for approved methods.
All items stored in the gas bottle
storage locker must be secured to
prevent impact damage to the inside
of the body panel when the vehicle is
in motion.
Do not allow any chemicals, toilet or otherwise,
to spill or leak into the gas box floor. Before
placing items in the cradle ensure that the tray
is clean and free from any debris. Cleaning
should only be carried out with warm soapy
water.
The use of high pressure water jets to clean
your motorhome will invalidate your warranty.
GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Acrylic Windows
The windows fitted to your motorhome are
manufactured from high quality acrylic using
the latest plastic processing methods.
For cleaning, use only generous amounts of
water to wash away dust and road grit etc.
Then use a soft cloth and warm soapy water
and gently remove the remaining dirt. Avoid
abrasive cleaning materials and detergents.
As with all plastic materials, acrylic should not
be allowed to come into contact with chemicals
such as paint remover, fly spray, acetone, dish
washer detergent and car cleaning detergent.
Never polish with a dry cloth.
i
During high sun do not close the
window blinds completely and open the
windows into the ventilation position.
While the vehicle is in motion please
ensure that the windows are fully
closed (this information is also detailed
on stickers on the windows).
