MAINTAINING YOUR INVESTMENT...
MAINTENANCE
Your trailer is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However, maintenance is
important to retain its condition as near new as possible and preserve the warranty. The
information in the following pages is supplied to provide guidance for your maintenance
routine. Many of the component part manufacturers supply information for their
equipment. The features of your trailer will vary based on the floor plan and options. Refer
to all instructions supplied with your trailer when performing maintenance. Proper
maintenance will give you many trouble free miles.

NOTE: Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your trailer.
.
NOTE: Failure to properly maintain your trailer can cause numerous problems and
it voids Jayco’s warranty as well as the warranties of many of the component part
manufacturers.
Caution: We recommend that you do not take your recreation vehicle through
automatic car washes. Extreme caution should be used if utilizing any type of
pressure sprayer around all attachments, doors, windows, appliance vents, etc.
Avoid forcing water inside the unit, which could possibly damage component parts.
EXTERIOR FINISH
Depending on your trailer’s features, the exterior is constructed of aluminum or fiberglass.
Refer to the general instructions that follow for care information.
Aluminum
The aluminum on the outside of your trailer can be cleaned and washed the same as an
automobile finish. It is suggested that a spray wax or wash and wax combination be used
for waxing due to the texture of the aluminum. The textured aluminum siding will reduce
excess scratching. The roof aluminum skin material should be washed and polished to
maintain its finish.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass parts are very durable and easy to maintain. To keep them looking nice, wax and
buff them once a year. Standard automotive cleaning soaps and waxes work well for
general cleaning and maintenance. In addition, do not dry wipe the surface. Special
cleaners and waxes are available at automotive and RV stores.
Scratches, chips and other cosmetic cracks can be easily fixed by an experienced fiberglass
repair shop. Any major damage should be repaired as soon as possible to keep cracks from
spreading.
