Owner Responsibility Checklist - Damon Astoria Pacific Edition Owner's Manual

Damon reserves the right to make changes in Vehicles built and/or sold by it at any
time without incurring any obligations to make the same or similar changes on Vehicles
previously built and/or sold by Damon.
As the proud owner of a Damon Motor Coach, you want to trust that your unit will
continue to perform at its peak. To ensure this Damon has provided you this checklist
of the responsibilities of the Damon owner. Please make sure that this list is carefully
observed and adhered to in order to maintain your Limited Warranty.
Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule (page 81) to determine when your inspections
should take place.
Check both house batteries and chassis battery and tighten connections if necessary.
Clean the terminals if necessary. Check to make sure that the batteries have the proper
water levels in them, and fill if necessary. Check the charge and recharge if necessary.
Keep connections clean and covered with a light coat of grease.
There is a certain danger involved when working with batteries. If you are
unfamiliar with these dangers, contact a Damon dealer.
Just as in your home, it is the owner's responsibility to periodically check the batteries in
the smoke detector, propane detector and carbon monoxide detector when applicable.
We recommend that you change the batteries every six months to ensure proper working
order.
The owner is responsible for checking to ensure that the vehicle has as little
condensation in it as possible. The condensation in a motorhome is much greater than
in most houses because the insulated walls of the vehicle are much thinner than house
walls, and the small size and tight construction of the vehicle allow a quick buildup of
high moisture levels in the inside air.
This can be reduced by always keeping the bathroom door closed and the window or
vents open when bathing, and for a period of time when you have finished bathing or
cooking, to allow for dissipation of all the moisture. Use your vent hood and fan when
cooking. Don't hang wet clothes in your unit to dry. When left for prolonged periods of
time, condensation can cause considerable damage to your vehicle.
Most exterior parts of your motorhome are made of fiberglass, which is a very durable
material, but not indestructible. Exposure to the elements can cause premature
deterioration without routine maintenance, especially in hotter climates. The effects may
be; fading, yellowing, or chalking, however these are surface cosmetic changes, which
do not affect the strength of your unit. Simple maintenance through cleaning by washing
and waxing will ensure lasting beauty.
The same fading may occur to carpeting and upholstering. Be sure to keep your shades
down in extremely sunny locations and maintain proper cleaning techniques for both
carpet and upholstery.
