Usage Features

Slide-out: Extends to provide additional interior space. Must be fully extended or retracted to prevent rain and insect entry. Exterior roof must be dry and clean of debris before retracting to prevent damage.

Sewer System: Sewage discharge hose stored in a black tube on the lower front of the trailer. Black water tank must be dumped first, followed by grey water to help clean the hose. Rubber gloves are provided for this task.
Hot Water Heater: Can be run on propane or electricity. Requires 10-15 minutes to heat up. Must have water in the tank before turning on to prevent burning out the heater.
Heating System (Furnace): Uses a lot of propane. Furnace fan uses electricity, so running it all night without electrical hookup will drain the battery quickly. Essential in freezing temperatures to prevent water line freezing.
