• If cable service is provided, hook-up a 75 Ohm RG59 or RG6
cable to the cable connection in the service center. 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 service center. 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 serv-
ice center. Install a water pressure regulator to protect the water
hose from excess pressure. Turn the hand valve so the pointer indi-
cates “city water.”
NOTE:
A water pressure regulator attached between the city
water faucet and the potable fresh water hose will protect
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 properly 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
Plan ahead and conserve resources while dry camping. Dry camping requires fully charged and
properly maintained batteries (corrosion cleaned, terminals tightened, cables checked, etc.). If
water levels in liquid lead acid batteries are low, fill the batteries with distilled water only. (Tap
Water containing a high concentration of minerals will alter battery chemistry, reducing capacity, per-
formance and longevity.)
Begin with a full fresh water tank. Remember to fill the hot water tank before topping off the fresh
water supply. Confirm that waste holding tanks are empty. When water supplies run low, evacuate
waste holding tanks prior to refilling the fresh water tank.
Solar panels are a valuable addition for battery charging. The motorhome is equipped with one
solar panel to help offset parasitic load. A second panel, or adding up to five panels, will help charge
the motorhome batteries during daylight hours. Clean solar panels regularly for optimum perform-
ance using window cleaner and a soft cloth.
Confirm that the location you intend to visit can accommodate the size and length of your
motorhome. Drive-through sites are preferred for easier positioning of the motorhome and tow vehicle.
If only back-in sites are available, disconnect the tow vehicle before entering the campground for easi-
er maneuverability.
