"maintenance. Refer to information provided by the water
pump manufacturer for any special maintenance recom-
mendations on the pump mechanism. Refer to the
recommendations from the toilet or tank manufacturer
relating to maintenance or to chemical additives which may
be appropriate for those components. Keep plumbing system
drains and traps clean. Chemical products
recommended for plastic pipe may be used in the drain
lines. Take precautions when using a mechanical device to
remove obstructions from a drain line to avoid damage to
fittings and seals.
FIRE SAFETY

among recreational vehicle owners, we would like to make
the following safety suggestions:

event of a fire.
EXTERIOR
CARE
Exterior Metal and Trim
The exterior finish on your motor home is as easy to care
for as the finish on your car. To keep it clean, simply hose
it down with water, wiping the wet surface with a cloth or
sponge if necessary. Never wipe the metal surface when it is
dry. Do not use harsh abrasives or strong solvents on
exterior surfaces.
Accumulated dirt from storage or road film from heavy
·travel should loosen easily with warm water and mild
detergent. Rinse with plain water. Application of a good
quality automotive polish/wax will protect the finish.
