Pacific Coachworks Recreational vehicles are
designed for temporary shelter purposes. Trailers are
not designed for the transportation of people, and
many laws forbid their use for such purposes.
Pacific Coachworks recommends that all passengers
be carried only in the motor vehicle towing your
trailer.
8. Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood
and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used
inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this type
of equipment inside the recreational vehicle may
cause fires or asphyxiation.
9.Do not bring or store LPG containers, gasoline,
or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle
because a fire or explosion may result.
The Campsite. A public or private campsite will be
your home and neighborhood while vacationing.
Making new friends and relaxing with old friends is
a rewarding and enjoyable experience. To make your
stay comfortable and convenient, we suggest that
you review these important considerations:
1. Select a space large enough in which to
maneuver your vehicle without disturbing or
crowding your neighbors.
2. Park in the space, lining up as closely as
possible to available water, electrical, and
sewer facilities.
3. Block the wheels of your vehicle, and level it
as needed.
4. Attach necessary water, electrical, and sewer
services to your recreational vehicle.
5. Check all gas fueled appliances to be sure
they are off; vent your unit well; then open
the valve on your LPG tank.
6. Light gas appliances as necessary – range,
refrigerator, water heater, furnace.
7. Unpack household goods and move your
family in. Now enjoy yourself!
Consumption of LP Gas. Your LPG system uses
liquefied gas which contains approximately 92,000
BTU's of heat energy per gallon. To find out how
long a gallon of gas will last, compute the total
BTU input as shown on all of your gas appliances.
Divide this figure into 92,000 - the result will give
you the total hours of usage per gallon when all
your appliances are operating at full capacity.
Condensation. Condensation may occur in your
trailer whenever the temperature outside is lower
than the temperature inside. This can cause the
warm moist air to form (or condense) as water
droplets on colder interior surfaces, such as roof
vents, windows, metal moldings, and cabinet
hardware.
Moisture is put into the air through various means,
such as the combustion of LP gas, cooking food,
washing dishes, and the breathing of people. The
following facts indicate how rapidly moisture is
generated:
1. Four people discharge into the air
approximately one cup of water per hour.
2. An open flame from your range top can
also discharge approximately one cup of
water per hour.
Condensation on windows is a. visible warning
that there is too much moisture in your trailer. This
excessively high humidity can cause mildew,
staining, and deterioration of woodwork and
paneling.
Follow these helpful hints to help reduce excessive
humidity from the interior air:
1. Ventilate with outside air by keeping a roof
vent or window open. Even when it is
raining, outside air will be drier than
interior air.
2. Turn on the range hood fan when cooking.
3. Turn on the bath vent fan when showering
and close the bath door.
4. Open a window while washing dishes.
5. Avoid air drying damp or wet clothing
inside the trailer. If you must, hang them in
the bathroom with the door closed and the
bath vent fan on.
