12 Interior Features
Bedspread
As a furnished part of the bedroom suite, a bedspread with matching pillow accessories (Figure 12-1) is included with the motorhome.
The bedspread and pillow shams are “for dry-cleaning only.” As the bedspread was made with materials treated for stain resistance, dry-cleaning will prolong the life of these materials. The curtains in the bedroom are color coordinated with the bedspread and accessories to provide a pleasing décor for the bedroom area.
Flooring
Porcelain tile (Figure 12-2) is standard throughout the motorhome with the exception of the slide-out rooms. For routine cleaning, sweeping or vacuuming the floor would be sufficient. If more thorough cleaning is warranted, the flooring can be cleaned with a damp mop and water. For more stubborn stains, a mixture of soap-free household cleaner (e.g., vinegar, ammonia, or comparable products) and water can be used.
Do not saturate the floor surfaces with water, as this could damage the flooring substrate. Do not use any abrasives (cleansers, scouring pads, and the like) as they can scratch or mar the flooring surfaces and might cause damage to the flooring. If ceramic tile is chosen as an option, it may be cleaned more vigorously than the vinyl flooring.
Heated Tile Floor (Optional)
Your Phaeton might be equipped with an optional heated tile floor. The heated tile floor does not heat the air but gently warms the surrounding surfaces and occupants, allowing for a lower thermostat setting than traditional heating methods while providing the same comfort level.
Peak floor temperature is 25-30º above ambient floor temperature.
The system uses a controller (Figure 12-3) that regulates the floor temperature by means of a sensor built into the floor, thus ensuring that the temperature sensed by the controller and the owner are the same.
The optional heated tile floor provides clean, quiet heat, with no blowers or transformers, and it creates no hum or noise. The thermostat makes a quiet clicking as it switches on.
For further operating instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s literature in the Owner’s Information Package.
Ceiling
The ceiling (Figure 12-4) in the Phaeton motorhome is covered with a padded-vinyl headliner, which can be easily cleaned with a damp, soft cloth, and a mild detergent.
Clean around all vent areas to prevent any build-up of dirt, grease, or other accumulations.
Ceiling Fan
The ceiling fan (Figure 12-5) operates on 12V power and features a two-speed fan (low and high).
There is a switch on the fan itself to allow for the desired rotation, clockwise or counterclockwise.
To change rotation, be sure the main fan switch is in the OFF position.
Window Treatments
Throughout the Phaeton, the window treatments consist of two shades—solar and blackout (Figure 12-6).
The solar shade enables one to see out during the daytime, motorhome. The blackout shade creates complete privacy for nighttime.
The shades are located on all the windows in the living area and the bedroom, as well as in the cockpit.
The shades can be controlled by using the automatic control switch.
