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.
CEILING FAN (IF SO EQUIPPED)
The ceiling fan operates as one would in your
home. An OEM operator’s manual is provided
with detailed instructions. If you have further
questions, consult with your RV dealer and/or
the OEM.
FLOOR SAFE (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Your RV may have a safe mounted on the
floor of the closet or under the bed. The safe
is intended to help to safeguard valuable
items. Jayco cannot be held liable for loss of
personal property that is placed within the
safe. To secure items in the safe, utilize the
key provided with the safe and lock it after
placing items in the box. Store the key in a
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.
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
our furnace.
