most of which are provided for entertainment
and comfort. More detailed information about
speci c equipment may be found in that
particular manufacturer’s manual. Optional
equipment will also be discussed in this section
which may not apply to all motorhomes.
INFORMATION:
Detailed information with CAUTION or
WARNING instructions for the various
electronics, other than what is provided
in this section, can be found in that
specific manufacturer’s manual.
ENTRY STEP
Operation
The exterior electric entry
step features retractable steps,
automatic retraction with the
ignition key in the RUN position
and a last out feature.
NOTE:
When dry camping it is important to
note that when the switch is illuminated,
all step circuits are active and drawing
current from the chassis battery.
Operating the Entry Step:
1. With the entry door open, turn the step
switch on.
2. Close the door. The step should retract
and lock in the IN position.
3. Open the door. The step should extend
and lock in the OUT position. The step
will retract when the door is closed.
4. When the switch is turned off, the step
should remain in the extended position.
Close the door and turn on the ignition
switch. The step will retract for travel.
5. With the power switch off, the step
extended, the entry door closed and
the ignition turned on, the ignition
override system will engage to
automatically retract the step.
6. Turn the ignition off and open the door.
The step will extend and lock in the
OUT position. This is the “last out”
feature. When the ignition is on the
step will always activate with door
movement, regardless of the power
switch position.
CAUTION:
High curbs can impede step operation.
Use care when parked on side streets.
If the step fails to operate:
Verify that the step switch is ON.
A magnetic door jam switch is used to
control step operation. Use a separate
magnet to apply a “trigger” to the door
jam switch. Rotate test magnet to align
polarity eld.
WARNING:
If the motorhome is driven with the
step in the extended position there is the
possibility of causing major damage to
both the step and the motorhome.
CAUTION:
If the Step Out warning indicator lamp
illuminates while the motorhome is in
motion, the entry step is either partially
or fully extended. Repair the step as
soon as possible to avoid serious damage
to the entry step or motorhome.
Stepwell
The interior stepwell features a cover, step
lighting and a storage compartment in the upper
step. This compartment is ideal for storing items
such as gloves, tire pressure gauge, ashlights
or outside slippers.
Cover:
An electrically operated stepwell cover will
extend and retract using the switch on the dash
console.
WARNING:
Clean the acrylic grab handle using
soap and water only. DO NOT use
alcohol based glass cleaners as these
solutions adversely affect the acrylic
surface causing stress cracks leading
to eventual failure of the grab handle.
Heat and light combined with alcohol
based cleaning solutions will increase
the failure rate.
Located on dash
by entry door.
