VEHICLE OPERATION
ENTRANCE DOOR STEP(S)
Make sure your entrance step is fully extended before exiting the
vehicle, and retracted prior to towing.
Lubricating the step mechanism
Carefully clean the area around the pivot points (the rivets involved in
the motion of the mechanism). Lubricate these pivot points with an
automotive grade, non-staining lubricant every 30 to 60 days.
Wipe any excess lubricant off of the step and then clean the entire
step after lubricating.
STEP LIGHT
Your RV may be equipped with a switch located on the skirt (in front of
the steps) which operates a light located under the step assembly.
STOWABLE ENTRANCE DOOR STEP
Your RV may be equipped with one or two sets of stowable entrance
steps. They are a one piece, 2 to 4 step assembly that latches
inside the doorway of the RV. The steps rotate down and out of the
doorway, and include two adjustable feet to provide stability while
parked on rough terrain.
(See page 32)
Step Operation
1. Open the entrance/screen
door all the way.
2. Twist the locking handle to
release the steps from the
locked position on the door
frame (A).
3. Lower the step assembly
to the ground (B). If the
step will not drop fully with
the legs fully raised, you
may need to dig out the
landing area to help the
steps clear the door.
4. Adjust the feet to stabilize
the steps (C).
5. Remove pins (D) on each
side of the step to adjust
the legs, then reinsert the
pins to lock the legs. If the
feet do not reach the
ground, use wood or stone
blocks to achieve a firm
and level contact.

Depending on the model, the step adjustment pin may be located on
the side of the step system, or on the front where each leg attaches to
the side rails.
Step Storage
1. Make sure that the RV is not currently occupied.
2. Fold the handrail at the door out of the way or remove the
optional step handrail (if equipped).
3. Pull pins from adjustable legs (D), and retract the legs so they fit
inside the doorway when steps are folded. Reinsert the pins to
lock the legs.
4. Lift the steps and rotate up into the doorway.
5. Steps will automatically latch into brackets on each side of the
door frame as they are lifted in place.
6. Close the entrance/screen door.
When returning steps to the stored position, the adjustable feet may
have to be retracted to fit inside the door opening.
ENTRANCE DOOR
Always hold onto the entrance door when opening or closing it.
Damage caused because you failed to do so is not covered by the
Limited Warranty.
The entrance screen door may be equipped with a slide panel that
allows access to the entrance door handle and locks. The entrance
door may also be equipped with both a regular door lock and a dead
bolt lock.
Keys
Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle. Most
keys have an individual key number stamped on the plate. Record
these key numbers in the log below and in another safe place that you
can access if locked outside of the vehicle. You can order a key blank
from your dealer to have duplicate keys made. If you lose the keys,
contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance.
KEY LOG
Maintenance
Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual lubrication
using a light coat of silicone spray. Conditions such as rain, salt, dust
and pollution may increase the maintenance needs.
