Interior Maintenance
- One of the most common problems is condensation and the damage caused by lingering moisture in an RV
- Condensation is worse when the humidity is high and the temperature is low. If you see water forming on the inside of the windows this is a good indication you have condensation problems elsewhere in the coach.
- If you live in your RV full time you must protect it against condensation. Showering, cooking, brewing coffee, r boiling water or even breathing can contribute to a condensation buildup.
- Ventilate your RV by keeping a vent open or opening a window or two. If it is raining and you cannot open your vents consult your service advisor about installing a cover over your vent that allows you to have it open in the rain or when driving.
- Use dri-z-air crystals when storing your RV to absorb any moisture that might occur.
- In the summer when your RV is stored and everything is closed it can get as high as 130 degrees in the coach. This will cause your border paper and seam tape to start wrinkling and falling off the wall. You must ventilate in the summer as well as in the winter. By keeping vents open you can get air flow through the coach and keep the temperature down. Once again if you have covers on your vents you will not have to worry about possible bad weather.
- When cleaning your sinks, toilets and shower be sure to remember these are plastic and you should not use cleaners with any abrasive materials in them as they will leave scratches. Please consult the RV’s owner manual as to what is OK to use as a cleaner.
- Your wood surfaces can be cleaned using the same products you would use to clean your house. Carpets and vinyl flooring are the same as the one used in houses and should be cleaned accordingly.
