Maintenance
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.
If you want to attach items to the interior walls,
YOU MUST USE RIVETS. The rivets can be
installed with a hand-operated riveting 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 1'16" hole where the
rivet is to be located.
If you need rivets, contact your Fleetwood
dealer. Ask for service part number 075632.
CAUTION
Do not use any type of screw to attach items to either
the interior or exterior of your motor home. Due to the
thickness of the sidewall material, ordinary screws do
not hold well. The use of screws may damage the
interior or exterior wall surface.
Plastic/Fiberglass Shower Stall
Some cleaners attack the plastic causing it to
discolor and become brittle. The following
cleaners have been tested and approved when
mixed with water:
• Distilled vinegar
• Mild dishwasher detergent
• Liquid deodorizing cleaner.
Avoid cleaners that contain any amount of abra-
sives, acetone or MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).

Floors and Carpeting
Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic
waxing. Vacuum carpeting regularly, and clean it
with a quality catpet cleaner. Do not use water or
waxes mixed with water on the wood floor.
Wood Floor
(If Equipped)
Floors are natural resting places for dust, dirt,
grit, and food spills. Dirt underfoot causes abra-
sions. Therefore, keep the floor clean and use
exterior walk off mats at the entry door, and:
• Immediately blot up spills or spots with a
damp cloth.
• Periodically clean the floor with Anderson
Quick Kleen. Follow the instructions on the
container.
Your wood floor can be damaged by a number
of things, including:
• Water - Do not wet mop the wood floor
• Oil soap or other waxes and polishes
• Ammonia cleaners
• High heel shoes
Engine Access
The top of the engine may be accessed from
inside the motor home for service by lifting or
removing the engine cover.
WARNING
The interior engine cover is heavy. Use care when
opening or closing the cover.
WARNING
When installing the engine cover, be sure the cover is
fully seated on the gasket seal and secured by the
clamps. Do not allow insulation, carpeting, or other
material to interrupt the seal between the cover and
the engine compartment. If the engine cover is not
Installed correctly, engine exhaust gases could leak
into the passenger compartment creating a safety
hazard. If the engine must be run with the engine
cover off for maintenance purposes, be sure the vehi-
cle interior is adequately ventilated.
