of

balance
if
not properly loaded.
Refer to the
Motor Home Loadillg section
of
the
011
The Road chapter
of
this manual, and follow
the loading and weighing instructions in that
section. When storing equipment and supplies:
• Always keep tools and equipment stored in
areas where they will not shift while
traveling.
• Whenever possible, place heavy articles in
storage compartments which are low and in
the best location for weight distribution.
Pack articles carefully in the storage
compartments to minimize shifting.
If
nec-
essary, use straps to prevent movement.
•
Be
sure liquid containers are capped and
cannot tip
or
spill.
• Secure all glass containers and dishes
before traveling.
• Exterior storage compartments may not be
watertight in all conditions. Carry any arti-
cles which could be damaged by water
inside the motor home.

not store flammable, volatile liquids
or
hazardous
chemicals inside the motor home or

Interior Storage
The closets and cabinets have catches along one

the door. Pull on the cabinet door handle
to open. Overhead doors have supports to hold
them open. Drawers rest in notches when they
are closed.

pull open.
Closets may be equipped with 12-volt lights that
turn
ON when the closet door is opened.
Be

if
it
stays ON.
If
the light stays on when the door is
closed, the door switch requires adjustment.

rior storage areas
as
