7.4 REAR VIEW MIRRORS (RAMCO)
Your vehicle is equipped with two exterior
mirrors.
The mirrors may be equipped with an optional
electric heating system which serves to
minimize ice and condensation on the mirror
glass in extreme weather conditions. Integral
thermostats are installed in both mirrors to avoid
continuous heating. Use the appropriate switch
on the dashboard to activate the defroster
system on both mirrors simultaneously. The
mirrors can easily be adjusted by using the
remote controls located on the L.H. side control
panel. The mirrors have easy to replace glass in
case of breakage. Remote control motors can
also be replaced.

To pivot the mirror head, loosen the setscrews
on each side of the ball stub at the base of the
mirror head to facilitate the adjustment.
7.4.2 Disassembly
At end of mirror arm, loosen the setscrews to
relieve tension on the ball stem. Remove the ball
stem from the arm.
Remove the four screws fastening the mirror
arm base to the coach.

Mount the mirror arm base to the coach. Insert
the ball stem into the mirror arm and tighten the
socket setscrews.
NOTE
Position the ball cup halves so the joint
between them lies on the centerline of the
arm. Ensure that the setscrews are not on the
joint between the cup halves.

7.4.5 Heated / Remote Controlled Rear View
Mirrors
Heated/remote controlled external rear view
mirrors may be provided to prevent the mirrors
from frosting up in cold weather.
The remote controlled external rear view mirrors
attach to support arms using a pivot collar
secured by setscrews. Loosening the setscrews
allows the whole head assembly to turn on the
support arm for initial adjustment. A mounting
bolt and washer hold the arm support to the
mounting bracket. The arm support can be
moved to position the mirror head into or away
from the coach body.
The mirror heat switch is located to the left of the
driver on the dashboard. This switch must be
activated before the mirror heating element will
energize. Once energized, the mirror heating
element is kept at a sustained temperature
(between 60-80°F) by a thermostat. Refer to
wiring diagram annexed in the technical
publication box.
CAUTION
Do not attach stick-on type convex mirror
accessories to the heated mirror glass. This
could impede uniform heat distribution on the
mirror surface which could break the mirror.
Mirror Control
The remote control pointer knob(s) for the
mirrors is (are) mounted on the L.H. side control
panel. The harness to the mirror head runs
through the arm support. The remote motor is
mounted to the mirror head behind the mirror
glass.
