Laminate Top Care (If Equipped); Walls And Ceiling Panels; Attaching Accessories To Your Motor Home; Plastic/Fiberglass Shower Stall - Fleetwood 2003 Southwind User Manual

Maintenance
involves wiping the surface with a damp cloth to
remove water marks. For stains, wipe with soapy
water or anunonia-based cleaners. Remove stub-
born stains on the "matte/satin" finish with an
abrasive cleanser.
Laminate Top Care
(If Equipped)
For cleaning laminate surfaces, uses mild dish-
washing liquid with warm water. Use a soft
cloth for both washing and drying.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or gritty
cleaners or damage will occur to the surface.
Walls and Ceiling Panels
The paneling and the ceiling of your motor
home may be any of several finishes and tex-
tures. Never use harsh detergents or abrasive
cleaners on walls or ceilings. Most surfaces will
clean with a soft cloth moistened with mild liq-
uid detergent in warm water, or a clear window
cleaner solution. Do not scrub the surface or use
large amounts of water which could saturate the
material. Simply spray or apply the solution to
the spot and blot with a clean dry rag or paper
towel. Aggressive scrubbing may damage the
texture or pattern.
Attaching Accessories to
Your Motor Home
The sidewalls of your motor home are built with
a dense fiber and polymer panel or rigid wood
panel used as a substrate to the exterior fiber-
glass or interior finish surface.
Structural members are located specifically to
mount and attach factory-installed components
and accessories, and may not be located to
accommodate after-market accessories not
specifically designed for use on or in your
motor home.
Exterior: Please consult with your dealer before
attempting to install or mount accessories on the
sidewalls or roof of your motor home. Holes
11-4
drilled in the sidewall may cause damage,
and may affect portions of your warranty.
Interior: If you want to attach items to the inte-
rior walls, YOU MUST USE RIVETS. The riv-
ets can be installed with a hand-operated tool
such as the Arrow E-Z Pull Model RH200. This
and similar tools are available in most hardware
stores and home improvement centers.
When you install a component, carefully mark
the hole location and drill a 3/16" hole where
the rivet is to be located.
If you need rivets, contact your Fleetwood
dealer.
CAUTION
I
Do not use any type of screw to attach items to the
interior or exterior walls of your motor home. If you
want to attach items to the walls, you must use
expanding head type rivets. Rivet quantity, length, and
grip range, will vary depending on item to be attached.
Plastic/Fiberglass Shower Stall

discolor and become brittle. The following
cleaners have been tested and approved when

Avoid cleaners that contain any amount of abra-
sives, acetone or MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).
