Living
With
Your
Motor
Home
A WARNING
Loose furniture must
be
secured before travel. Failure
to do
so
may result
in
injury or death
in
the event of
an
accident or emergency maneuver.
Interior Lighting
Both decorative and 'utility' style 12-volt light-
ing fixtures may be used in your motor home.
Utility style fixtures may be either single or
dual. A slide switch selects either single or dual
brightness. For your convenience, some lights
are operated from wall switches. Clean the
lenses with soapy water.
A CAUTION
Some of the lighting fixtures may
be
equipped with
halogen bulbs. The bulbs
and
fixtures may get very
hot when they are
on.
Do
not touch these lighting fix-
tures when they are
on.
Allow them to cool before
attempting to
replace a bulb or
to
clean. Replace
all
light bulbs with the same type and wattage
as
origi-
nally installed
or
as
indicated
on
the fixture.
Overhead Vents
Overhead vents may be located in the galley and
bathroom areas for fresh air circulation and
exhausting heat, odors and water vapor.
Turn the crank in the center
of
the overhead
vent to open and adjust.
Some vents may also be
equipped with a 12-volt fan. A switch controls
fan operation. Be sure to turn the fan
OFF
before closing the vent. Some vents may be
connected to a wall switch.
Close the overhead vents or lower them before
traveling to avoid damage from wind and low
overhead clearances.
The vent may be cleaned from the top
of
the
motor home.
Use soapy water on the vent cover.
The screens may be vacuumed or lightly
brushed to remove accumulation
of
leaves or
other debris.
Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with
a light, water resistant grease.

MONITOR PANEL
The monitor panel allows you to conveniently
check the approximate levels in the holding tanks,
LP gas tank and
to
check battelY condition(s).
Electrical probes installed in the tanks measure
the levels at various points in the tanks.
.II NOTE I
If
the sensor probes mounted in the tanks
get
coated
with grease, the monitor panel may indicate falsely
or
not
at
all. Avoid pouring grease, oils
or
similar sub-
stances down drains
or
the toilet.
If
this is unavoid-
able, the holding tank(s) should be washed out with a
soapy water solution. See your dealer for additional
information.
To
check tank levels:
Press
LPGAS,
FRESH WATER, GRAY or
BLACK TANK switches.
The E or empty indicator light will always
be lit when the rocker or touch switches are
depressed.
If
the tank
is
full, all lights will
be on. Lights are sequential, and indicate
levels in approximately
113
or 114-tank
increments depending on monitor or panel
design. It the tank selected is
approxi-
mately 1I2-full, for example, lights E,
114
and
112
will be on.
Erroneous tank level indications can be
caused by:
a.
Water with low mineral content. The level
is
measured by a very low level electrical
signal traveling through the liquid.
Some
water may not conduct the signal properly.
This condition may be infrequent, but can
exist. Check the panel reading when the
fresh water tank is filled.
b. Material trapped on the holding tank
probes may give a full reading when the
tank
is
actually empty.
To
check the battery charge:
1.
Shut off all charging sources, engine, gen-
erator, and disconnect the 120-volt power
cord to turn off the converter.
