Loading the ramps
The RV is equipped with folding ramps to load equipment onto the front deck. These
ramps are secured to the front deck to create a railing during travel.
1. Unlock and remove one ramp from the front deck and place it on the edge you will be
using to load the front deck.
2. Secure the ramp for loading by attaching one end of the tie down to the unit frame,
and the other tie down end to the ramp. Repeat for the other ramp.
3. After loading your equipment onto the front deck, reverse these steps and secure the
ramps for travel.
