SECTION 13-EXTERIOR
Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as soon as
possible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and
the tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. To purchase touch-up
paint, use the closest automotive paint (available locally) match possible.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or
chamois to remove any white residue from dark colored plastic surfaces. Do not use a
scrubbing brush, other hard tools, or wax containing abrasives as they may damage the
plastic surface.
Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease, paint
thinner, or batter acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and a mild
detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and
apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish product.

RAME
Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, climate (salt air exposure) or ice inhibiting
chemicals used during the winter months will damage the paint, inviting rust and other
deterioration. Periodically inspect the exterior exposed areas, clean and repaint the frame
members occasionally and whenever you notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure
protection.

The E-Z lube feature on your axles provides the ability for the bearings to be periodically
lubricated without removing the hubs from the axle. This feature consists of axle spindles
that have been specially drilled and fitted with grease zerks in their ends. When grease is
pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the inner bearing and then flows back to the outer
bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole.
consult with your dealer.
NOTE: The convenient lubrication provisions of the E-Z lube must not replace
periodic inspection and maintenance of the bearings. Use a hand-operated grease gun;
improper use of a commercial grease gun may damage the seals.

While you are cleaning the exterior roof assembly, also inspect the roof vents (including
sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents
for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All exterior access doors and vents
need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud daubers, etc.) while
the appliances are in use.
