• If cable service is provided, hook-up a 75 Ohm RG59 or RG6
cable to the cable connection in the storage bay. If the motorhome
has a video selector box press the appropriate viewing button for
the item desired.
• A phone connection port is provided in the storage bay. Phone utili-
ty outlets are placed throughout the motorhome, including a
phone line attached to the satellite receiver for Pay-Per-View
movies and events.
• Hook the potable water hose to the city water connection in the
service center. Install a water pressure regulator to protect the
water hose from excess pressure. Turn the hand valve to City
Water position.
NOTE:
A water pressure regulator attached between the city
water faucet and the potable fresh water hose will pro-
tect the hose from swelling or bursting under high city
water pressure. Securing the pressure regulator to the
hose with pliers will prevent the regulator from being
misplaced.
• Hook-up the sewer hose. Sewer drain pipe diameters are generally either three or four inches.
Proper sewer hose adapters will ensure against leaks or spillage. With the sewer hose prop-
erly connected, open the grey water valve (small valve). The black water valve (large
valve) remains closed until the tank is full or until time of departure.
DRY CAMPING TIPS
Experience is the best dry camping teacher. Plan ahead and conserve resources.
• Dry camping requires fully charged and properly maintained batteries. Fill batteries with
distilled water only. Conserve on battery power whenever possible.
• Fill the hot water tank before topping off the fresh water supply. Confirm waste holding
tanks are empty. When the fresh water supply is low, drain waste holding tanks prior to
refilling the fresh water tank.
• Solar panels are a valuable addition for battery charging. Additional panels will help
charge the batteries during daylight hours. Clean solar panels regularly for optimum per-
formance.
• Confirm the destination can accommodate the size and length of the motorhome. Drive-
through sites are preferred for easier access.
• When navigating campgrounds, watch for low hanging limbs, tree trunks and barriers lin-
ing the roadway. Have the co-pilot or campground host provide guidance when negotiating
tight curves. Position the motorhome to extend slide rooms and awnings. Before lowering
the air suspension and leveling the motorhome, check underneath for obstacles that may
damage undercarriage components.
