ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Check operation of windows, latches, and hinges.
Clean the roof-ducted air conditioner filters.
Clean and inspect door and window seals; reseal where necessary.
Inspect and reseal around the tub and shower area where necessary.
Lubricate the exterior door hinges and latches with a graphite (silicone) lubricant.
Check, clean, and tighten battery cables and inspect batteries for proper fluid levels.
Every Six Months
Inspect the slide-out for proper seal. If realignment is necessary, contact an authorized Tiffin
Motorhomes Service Center.
Inspect the exterior rubber slide-out seals and apply a UV inhibitor, such as 303 Protectant.
Change the battery in the smoke detector.
Rotate tires as recommended by the tire manufacturer.
Check all gas appliances for proper operation.
Have the LP system inspected by a qualified technician.
Lubricate the movable parts on the entrance step.
Change the batteries in both the smoke detectors.
For the optional washer/dryer, inspect the water hoses (both the hot and cold supply lines) to note
any bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks. Especially note the hot-water hose, as this tends to degrade
faster than the cold-water hose. Replace if hose feels “soft” or “spongy.”
Annually
Inspection of roof seams and joints must be performed by an authorized Motorhomes Service Center.
If resealing is necessary, it is the owner’s responsibility and is not covered by the Tiffin Motorhomes
Limited Warranty.
Sanitize the fresh water system.
Wax and buff all gel-coat surfaces on the vehicle as described previously in this chapter.
WINTERIZING
To store your vehicle for the winter months, it is necessary to winterize
the water system to help prevent freezing of this system. If your unit
has a Truma Water Heater, be sure to follow the instructions in the
Operations Manual. The control panel is located in the bedroom closet.
IMPORTANT: Turn off the water heater before draining to prevent
burning the element out.
