0 If applicable, start the refrigerator and the
air conditioner (or furnace).
DRY CAMPING
0 Refer to Sec. 3 Electrical System before
starting the generator or operating the
motorhome on 12-volt power.
0 Refer to Sec. 4 Fuel & LP System. Open
the LP gas tank valve slowly. There may
be air in the lines and five to thirty seconds
of time is needed to bleed air before LP
vapor fills the lines.
0 Refer to Sec. 5 Plumbing Systems
before turning ON the water pump or water
heater.
0 If applicable, start the refrigerator and the
air conditioner (or furnace).
Extended dry camping:
For extended dry camping, management of all
your resources is essential. Conserve your
water supply, do not waste the water you are
not actually using. Check your propane and
battery levels (conserve the battery power, use
it sparingly.)
COLD WEATHER USAGE
When used in freezing or below freezing
temperatures, the following precautions need
to be taken:
0 Proper care should be taken with the fresh
water and drainage systems to avoid
freeze-ups.
0 Propane gas and sufficient power is
needed for protection from possible
freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator.
Keep in mind that more frequent furnace
operation will substantially increase
battery draw and propane gas use.
0 During cool weather usage, ventilation or
addition of a dehumidifier will be required
to reduce condensation.
RV ENTRANCE DOOR
The entrance door (with screen door) is
located on the curbside of the RV. We have
included an assist grab handle at the entrance
door. The interior portion of the entrance
screen door is equipped with a plastic slide
panel that allows access to the entrance door
handle and locks. The entrance door has both
a regular door lock and a dead bolt lock.
Always hold onto the entry door when opening
or closing it. Damage caused by the entry door
catch and holder because you failed to do so is
not covered by the warranty.
Locks
The key cylinder in your locks needs to be
lubricated on an annual basis or as needed.
Always use powdered graphite, never a
petroleum product. The petroleum product will
gum up the cylinder and it will not operate
smoothly. Apply a light coating of white lithium
grease to the face of the lock bolt to obtain a
smooth closing.

SECTION 8
CAMPING & OPERATING
Make sure the entrance door is completely
closed and locked when traveling. It is
dangerous to drive with the door not shut.
Locking the door helps prevent it from
opening unintentionally and keeps
intruders from your RV.
When opening the door from the outside,
make sure you are not obstructing the path
of the entrance step. Step deployment
takes approximately two seconds. Keep
hands and fingers clear while extending or
retracting. BE SAFE, LOOK BEFORE
ENTERING OR EXITING YOUR
MOTORHOME!
