Maintenance
CARAVAN EXTERIOR
Aluminium Panels
The stove enamelled paintwork is very
durable and easy to clean owing to the high
gloss properties.
Plastic Panels (GRP/ABS)
These are used for front and rear panels and,
in some cases, for roof and side panels.
Cleaning
For both aluminium panels and plastic panels.
1. Wash the caravan regularly with mild
detergent. Rinse with cold water and
leather off.
2. For better protection a similar coloured
good quality car wax may be applied.
When cleaning Sikaflex sealed areas, use
Domestos/water.
WARNING: Under no circumstances use
any abrasive cleaning agents or solvents
on the exterior panels.
Care should be taken as the silicon in
some polishes can attack the rubber
used on the exterior for seals and
gaskets.
Mouldings
All mouldings are of anodised aluminium and
will retain their lustre for a long period if no
abrasive materials are used to clean them.
Acrylic Windows
The windows in your caravan are fully double
glazed and with care will remain sparkling
and scratch-free.
Cleaning: Wash down as you would your
car. Do not use a sponge on dirty windows.
When all dirt has been removed, dry with a
leather or ‘Vyleda’ type cloth, the catches
and stays do not require lubricating.
Keeping your acrylic windows sparkling:
Removing Tar
Use ‘Jove Tar Remover’ on our double
glazed windows, it is obtainable from most
leading car accessory or Do-It-Yourself
shops. Do not use petrol or other chemicals.
Condensation
As your caravan is double glazed you may
occasionally get condensation inside the
double glazing. This is particularly so in
severe weather change (usually spring and
autumn) and is easily cured in dry weather.
i) Remove the plastic plugs from interior
top of each window.
ii) Leave unplugged for approximately 1-4
hours until condensation has cleared.
WARNING: Do not wash your caravan
with a high pressure washer as these
can permanently damage the seals of
your caravan.
CARAVAN INTERIOR

Side Walls, Roof Lining
A simple wipe over with a damp cloth and a
very mild detergent is all that is needed.

polycarbonate moulded sinks and drainers.

catches, sliding bolts and hinges from time
