intended to reduce airflow, not shut it off
completely.
ATTIC FAN (IF SO EQUIPPED)
The 12-volt DC attic fan (or powered roof vent)
allows fresh air to circulate through the RV.
Do not leave the attic fan open when the RV is
stored or unattended for long periods. High
winds, other unusual conditions or
obstructions may prevent the dome from
closing; the resulting leakage could cause
non-warrantable damage.
THERMOSTAT
There are may be up to two 12-volt DC
thermostats in your RV. Use the controls to set
the temperature to your comfort setting.
AIR CONDITIONER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Your RV has a roof mounted air conditioning
system that is controlled by a thermostat.
Cooled air enters the RV through the
adjustable “chill grill.” Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating the
air conditioner. Do not operate the air
conditioner without the return air filter.
Operating the system without the filter allows
the lint and dirt that is normally stopped by the
filter to accumulate on the cooling coil of the air
conditioner. This also will lead to a loss of air
volume, possible equipment damage and an
expensive cleaning process.
A special foam gasket is placed between the
roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
The air conditioner is subjected to wind
pressures along with motor vibration during
normal operation. Inspect the mounting bolts
for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Re-tighten bolts
when they are loose. DO NOT over tighten
these bolts as it may damage this gasket. The
air conditioner gasket is a wearable part that
eventually will need to be replaced s
maintenance. To gain access to the bolts,
remove the filtered panel cover on central air
systems or the entire air box on non-central air
conditioners.
FURNACE (IF SO EQUIPPED)
The RV furnace installed in the RV is
controlled by a thermostat. The furnace
requires both 12-volt power and propane gas
for full operation. Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating
your furnace. If you have any questions
contact your dealer or Jayco Customer
Service.
A qualified RV technician should perform all
furnace maintenance at least once a year
(more often depending on furnace usage).
Never attempt to repair the furnace yourself.
CARGO RAMP DOOR
The cargo ramp has a maximum weight
capacity of 2500# in the vehicle loading mode,

CAMPING & OPERATING
WARNING
To ensure your personal safety, do not
obstruct or alter the furnace in any manner.
Do not install screens over the vent for any
reason. Screens will become restricted and
cause unsafe furnace operation. For your
safety, only OEM factory authorized parts
are to be used on your furnace.
WARNING
The furnace should be inspected
periodically (monthly during the heating
season) for presence of soot on the vent.
Soot is formed whenever combustion is
incomplete. This is a visual warning that the
furnace is operating in an unsafe manner. If
soot is observed on the vent, immediately
shut the furnace OFF and contact a
qualified service agency. Operating the
furnace under this condition could lead to
serious property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
