Holiday 2000 User Manual

HOLIDAY RAMBLER
General Information
In time you will develop a knack
for spotting wonderful little roadside
locations by turning off the main
highway and exploring. There are
many modern recreational vehicle
parks (including state, county, and
federal parks) with good facilities
where you can obtain hook-ups for
electrical, water, and sewage connec-
tions. Directories are published which
describe these parks and the avail-
ability of services and hook-ups. On
overnight or weekend trips chances are you will not fill up the sewage holding tank,
deplete the water or LP gas supply, or run down the batteries which supply the living area
12 volt DC current. On longer trips when you have stayed where sewer connections and
utility hook-ups were not available it will be necessary for you to stop occasionally to
empty the holding tanks, and to replenish your water and LP gas supply. Many gas sta-
tions have installed sanitary dumping stations. Publications are available which list
these dumping stations. When you stop for the night your Holiday Rambler motor home
is built to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level and where the ground is
firm. Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible. Your facilities are with you, you are
self-contained.
These safety alert symbols mean CAUTION or WARNING - “Personal Safety
Instructions”. Read and understand instructions where these symbols are
displayed in this manual. Failure to comply with specific instruction may
result in personal injury or death. Many instructions are required by the
National Safety Associations.
