TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 13 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE• Open all closets, cabinet doors and drawers• Close all windows and entrance doors• Open a vent or a window enough to allow for some limited ventilation air flow, but not so far as to allow snowor rain to enter• When storing the RV in high humidity climates (ambient relative humidity is greater than 60% year round), add adehumidifier drained to exterior to control humidity inside the RV during storage• Refer to other sections of this owner’s manual for additional recommendationsModifications to your RVConsult Tiffin Motorhomes for guidance prior to making any modifications to your RV. It is important that changes becompleted by a qualified service firm to ensure moisture intrusion or accumulation problems do not occur.Wet AreasAreas that are exposed to water spills or leaks should be dried as soon as possible and definitely within 24-48 hours.Drying areas quickly minimizes the chance for moisture damage and possible mold growth, which can begin to formcolonies within 48 hours. A variety of methods can be used to help the drying process:• Remove excess water with an extraction vacuum• Use a dehumidifier to aid drying• Use portable fans to move air across the surface• Because moisture is key to mold issues, treat all signs of condensation and spills seriously and deal withpromptly. Failure to deal with a moisture issue promptly may cause more severe issues where none initiallyexisted, or may make a small problem much worse.• Learn to recognize signs of mold—don’t paint over or cover up suspicious discoloration until you are sure it isnot mold. The affected surface must first be cleaned and dried; residual staining may be painted.• Be sure to understand and eliminate the source of moisture accumulation as a part of the cleanup.Otherwise, the same issues will simply reoccur.• Small amounts of mold should be cleaned as soon as it appears. Small areas of mold should be cleaned using adetergent/soapy solution or an appropriate RV household cleaner. Gloves should be worn during cleaning.The cleaned area should then be thoroughly dried. Dispose of any sponges or rags used to clean mold.13-9
