Manufacturing Process
Entegra Coach recreation vehicles are manufactured for use as temporary living quarters
for recreation, camping, travel, or seasonal uses. Our recreation vehicles are not intended
for the hauling of cargo such as golf carts or any other equipment that has a fuel powered
internal combustion engines. All Entegra Coach recreation vehicles are built with care,
under our Quality Assurance program. It is our sincere wish that you have a lifetime of
enjoyable experiences with your new Entegra Coach motor home.
Options & Equipment

The Entegra Coach motor home is available in several sizes and models, so accessories and
components may differ slightly between models. Some equipment described in this manual
may not apply to your motor home.
Entegra Coach reserves the right to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time
without notice, and to make additions or improvements without incurring any obligations
upon itself to install these changes on its products previously manufactured. Recreation
vehicles built for sale in Canada may differ to conform to Canadian Codes.
Customer Responsibility
It is important you read and understand all instructions and precautions before operating the
motor home. Even if you are an experienced RV’er we encourage you to thoroughly read
this Owner’s Manual, as well as the information contained in your Owner’s Portfolio and
Chassis Guide.

Warranty & Service
As technology advances, new improvements enter the RV industry every day, and each RV
manufacturer has its own unique manufacturing process.
Familiarize yourself with the Entegra Coach Limited Warranty applicable to your motor
home. There are components that are excluded or warranted separately by their individual
manufacturer’s limited warranty (refer to the Owner’s Portfolio and Chassis Guide).
As the new owner of the motor home, you are responsible for regular and proper maintenance
performed in accordance with this manual and the OEM manuals. Regular and proper
maintenance will help prevent conditions arising from neglect that are not covered by the
limited warranty. It is your responsibility and obligation to return the motor home to an
independent Entegra Coach dealer for repairs and service.
Change Of Address/Ownership
Please notify Entegra Coach Customer Service as soon as possible of a change of address by
writing or calling us. For notification of a change of ownership, please fill out the appropriate
form located in this manual and mail it to Entegra Coach Customer Service along with
documentation showing proof of ownership. Please include your current vehicle mileage.
Dealer Responsibility
Dealers who are authorized to sell Entegra Coach motor homes are also there to provide
customer service after the sale. We work closely with them in an effort to keep you satisfied.
At the time of sale of the new motor home, your dealer is expected to explain or provide the
following:
Provide orientation of the motor home, its systems, components and their operation (including
a test drive). Request that you read all Entegra Coach motorized warranty information and
explain any provision not clearly understood.
Complete and return the Warranty Registration and Customer Delivery form and the
chassis manufacturer’s Chassis Manufacturer’s Delayed Warranty Start form to activate
the applicable warranty coverage (mileage and date of purchase must be included on both
forms). Retain copies of these forms in the motor home for any required warranty coverage
as needed at home or while traveling.
Ensure that you receive a complete Owner’s Portfolio and review the individual
manufacturer’s limited warranty provisions with you. The dealer can assist in completing
these forms and in locating any required component model or serial numbers.
Suggestions For Obtaining Service
To help ensure your dealer provides the level of service you expect, here are some suggestions
we would like to make:
Contact your dealer at once… Do not wait until you are ready to use your RV. Your dealer
may not be able to service it immediately and/or the repair may require parts be ordered. The
dealer’s service department is busiest on Mondays, Fridays and before the holidays.
Prepare for the appointment… If you are having warranty work performed, be sure to
have the right papers with you. Take your warranty folder and have your vehicle information
available. All work to be performed may not be covered by the warranty. Discuss additional
charges with the service personnel.
Prepare a list… Provide your dealer with a written list of specific repairs needed. It is
important that you provide any vehicle repair history to the dealer’s service personnel.
6
Warranty & Service
Keep a maintenance log of your vehicle’s service history. This can often provide a clue to
the current issue.
Be reasonable with your requests… If you leave a list with several items and you need
your vehicle returned back by a specific time, discuss the situation with the dealer’s service
personnel and list your items in order of priority. This may include making a second
appointment for work not completed or parts that the dealer may need to order.
Don’t expect to look over the technician’s shoulder… Please don’t be offended if you are
told you cannot watch the work being done. Some insurance requirements forbid admission
of customers to the service area.
Inspect the work performed… Finally, check out the service or repair job when you pick
up your vehicle. Notify the dealer’s service personnel immediately of any dissatisfaction.
If you cannot return the vehicle immediately for repair, make an appointment as soon as
possible.
Please be aware that all service shops require notification of any issues with their repairs
within a specified time limit. Make sure you are familiar with their repair policies.
Customer Relations
Entegra Coach has a network of independent dealers to make warranty and repair decisions
to help ensure your continued satisfaction.
If a special circumstance occurs which requires information from Entegra Coach, we have
asked your dealer’s service personnel to make contact on your behalf. This is why you
should always talk to your dealer’s service personnel first.

Warranty & Service
Obtaining Service For Separately Warranted Items

The dealer where you purchased your Entegra Coach motor home is responsible for its
proper servicing before delivery, and has an interest in your continued satisfaction. We
recommend your dealer perform all inspection, warranty and maintenance services.
Some RV dealers may be authorized service centers for those individual manufacturers (refer
to your Chassis Guide or Owner’s Portfolio) whose products are warranted separately and
excluded from the Limited Warranty applicable to the Entegra Coach motor home offered
by Entegra Coach.
To reduce delays, we would encourage you to check with your dealer before contacting other
repair centers.
Even if your independent Entegra Coach dealer is not an authorized repair center for the
product in question, they may be able to assist you in obtaining authorized service.
Obtaining Service At Entegra Coach
Should your motor home be in need of service, and your dealer recommends that the repairs
be made at the Entegra Coach Customer Service facility, the motor home may be returned to
us with the following guidelines*:
You or your dealer must make a confirmed appointment 60 days prior to dropping off
the motor home at Entegra Coach Customer Service.
The holding tanks must be emptied and rinsed. We have a dumping station available
for customer use.
The propane system (if so equipped) and all electrical systems must be shut down and
turned off. We are not responsible for discharged batteries or propane tanks.
During the appropriate season, please ensure the motor home has been winterized.
Unless prior approval has been obtained from Entegra Coach Customer Service, all
personal items must be removed from the area where you are requesting service repair
and the refrigerator emptied.
All transportation costs are the responsibility of the owner. You may need to arrange for
alternative accommodations for some types of repairs. Please be prepared accordingly.
*Entegra Coach Customer Service occasionally utilizes local independent repair facilities.
Your vehicle may be referred to or repaired by one of these local repair facilities.
Parts & Accessories
Contact your independent Entegra Coach dealer for assistance in obtaining replacement
parts or accessories. Entegra Coach does not sell parts retail direct or to non-independent
Entegra Coach dealers. If the original part is no longer available, Entegra Coach makes
every effort to provide an appropriate substitute.
Aftermarket Accessories

Do not add any type of rack or frame to any motor home frame or chassis part.
The alteration to the length and/or weight distribution may result in unstable
handling, be a safety hazard, or could damage the motor home components.

Warranty & Service
If you wish to make changes, consult your dealer before contacting other resources. Even
if the dealership is not an authorized representative of the manufacturer of the product or
component in question, they may be able to refer you to a specialist for assistance.
Installation of aftermarket accessory(s) or other items may affect the Limited Warranty
applicable to your ENTEGRA COACH motor home, damage your motor home and/or
cause a failure. Entegra Coach accepts no responsibility for results of work performed by
unauthorized technicians.
Entegra Coach Transfer Limited Warranty Procedure
The Entegra Coach “Motorized Transferable Limited Warranty” is transferable to a second
owner (certain restrictions apply*). Please contact an independent Entegra Coach dealership
for assistance to see if you are eligible.
*To qualify for coverage, your motor home must be eligible as set forth under the terms of
the applicable “Motorized Transferable Limited Warranty” offered by Entegra Coach.
ENTEGRA COACH MOTORIZED LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED
The Entegra Coach (“Entegra”) warranty covers this recreational vehicle (“RV”),
when used only for its intended purpose of recreational travel and camping, for two (2)
years, or the first twenty-four thousand (24,000) miles of use, whichever occurs first. In
addition, it covers the structural integrity (defined as something essential to the manner of
construction during the assembly process covering the sidewall framing, roof framing and
floor framing) for five (5) years. It covers RV’s sold in, and remain in, the United States,
U.S. Territories and Canada, only. The warranty periods begin on the date that the RV is
delivered to the first retail purchaser by an independent, authorized dealer of Entegra, or, if
the dealer places the vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in
such service. In the event that a substantial defect in material or workmanship, attributable
to Entegra, is found to exist during the warranty periods, it will be repaired or replaced, at
Entegra’s option, without charge to the RV owner, in accordance with the terms, conditions
and limitations of this limited warranty.
This limited warranty applies to the first consumer purchaser, and the next subsequent
owner, only. This limited warranty may be transferred once during the two (2) year warranty
period. However, the subsequent owner must submit a warranty transfer form to Entegra to
make the warranty transfer effective. You may contact an independent, authorized dealer for
details. All rights and limitations within this warranty are applicable to the original owner
and the subsequent owner of the RV. The subsequent owner’s warranty coverage period is
the remaining balance of the warranty coverage period that prior owner was entitled to under
this limited warranty.
Entegra’s obligation to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship is
the sole obligation of Entegra under this limited warranty. Entegra reserves the right to use
new or remanufactured parts of similar quality to complete any work, and to make parts
and design changes from time to time without notice to anyone. Entegra reserves the right
to make changes in the design or material of its products without incurring any obligation
to incorporate such changes in any product previously manufactured. Entegra makes no
warranty as to the future performance of this RV, and this limited warranty is not intended
to extend to the future performance of this RV, or any of its materials, components or parts.
In addition, the RV owner’s obligation to notify Entegra, or an independent, authorized
dealer, of a claimed defect does not modify any obligation placed on the RV owner to contact
10
Warranty & Service
Entegra directly when attempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.
LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT IS FOUND TO ARISE BY WAY
OF STATE OR FEDERAL LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS, IS
LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND IS LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THE SCOPE OF
COVERAGE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. Entegra makes no warranty of any
nature beyond that contained in this limited warranty. Entegra does not authorize any
person to create any other obligation or liability for it regarding this RV, and Entegra is not
responsible for any representation, promise or warranty made by any dealer or other person
beyond what is expressly stated in this limited warranty, and no one has the authority to
enlarge, amend or modify this limited warranty.
Any selling or servicing dealer is not Entegra’s agent, but an independent entity.
ENTEGRA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY. THIS EXCLUSION OF
CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE INDEPENDENT OF
ANY FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY WARRANTY, AND THIS
EXCLUSION SHALL SURVIVE ANY DETERMINATION THAT THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY HAS FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or

Warranty & Service
part is the direct responsibility of that manufacturer).

Defects and/or damage to interior and exterior surfaces, trim, upholstery and other
appearance items may occur at the factory. These items are usually detected and corrected at
the factory or by the selling dealer prior to delivery to the retail customer. You must inspect
your RV for this type of damage when you take delivery. If you find any such defect or
damage you must notify the selling dealer at time of delivery to have these items covered by
this limited warranty and to have work performed on the items at no cost to you as provided
by this limited warranty.
EVENTS DISCHARGING ENTEGRA FROM OBLIGATION UNDER ARRANTY
Certain things completely discharge Entegra from any obligation under this
warranty and void it. By way of example, the following shall discharge Entegra from any
express or implied warranty obligation to repair or replace any defect that results from:
any rental or other commercial use or purchase of the RV (as defined in this warranty),
any RV sold outside of, or used outside of, the United States, U.S. Territories or Canada,
through an auction or wholesale or by a non-authorized dealer, any defect in a separately

designated above that you are trying to enforce. Any performance of repairs shall not
suspend any limitation period from expiring. Any performance of repairs after the warranty
coverage periods have expired, or performance of repairs regarding anything excluded from
coverage under this limited warranty shall be considered “good will” repairs, and they will
not alter the express terms of this limited warranty, or extend the warranty coverage periods
or this limitation period in this paragraph. In addition, this warranty is not intended to
extend to future performance, and nothing in this warranty, or any action of Entegra, or
any agent of Entegra, shall be interpreted as an extension of the warranty or this limitation
period. Some states do not allow a reduction in the statute of limitations, so this reduction
may not apply to you.
WARRANTY REGISTRATIONS
Your warranty registration records should be completed and delivered to the
manufacturers of component parts. The selling dealership will assist you in completing and
filling out the Entegra product warranty registration form. That form must be returned to
Entegra within ten (10) days of your taking delivery of the RV. Your Entegra warranty will
not be registered unless this warranty registration is completed and received by Entegra.
Failure to file this warranty registration with Entegra will not affect your rights under this
limited warranty as long as you can present proof of purchase, but it can cause delays in
obtaining the benefits of this limited warranty, and it may inhibit any servicing facility’s
ability to provide proper repairs and/or part replacement.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is the Owner’s responsibility to perform proper care and maintenance of the RV,

Warranty & Service
and to assure correct load distribution. For details regarding this, please see your Entegra
owner’s manual and the owner’s manuals of other component part manufacturers. These
outline various care and maintenance that is required to maintain your RV. Please review
all manuals supplied with your RV, and contact your selling dealership or supplier of the

Secondary Means of Escape (Exit Window)

Your recreation vehicle has been equipped with a window(s) that serves as a secondary means
of escape. The window(s) will allow a quick exit from the vehicle during an emergency if
access to the main entrance door is not available. It is easily identified by the red latches
and label.
Do not remove the following label from your recreation vehicle: I am adding some text.
Exit Window Label
When parking your recreation vehicle, make sure the egress window is not blocked by trees
or other obstacles. Make sure the ground below the window is solid and can be used as an
escape path.
Practice opening the window before an emergency occurs, and make sure all occupants
know how to operate it:
The egress window(s) must be locked during transit.
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with one of the following exit window styles.

Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire type, A, B and C. These classifications
identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to fight.
Class A - Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B - Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other flammable
liquids.
Class C - Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed by the entrance door. It is suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only.
We suggest you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the
side of the fire extinguisher.
NOTE: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to

the fire extinguisher user’s manual provided by the fire extinguisher
manufacturer.
Inspection and maintenance

Read and follow all instructions on the label and user’s manual provided by the fire
extinguisher manufacturer.
Inspect the extinguisher at least once a week (more frequently if it is exposed to weather
or possible tampering). This should also be done before beginning a vacation or during
an extended trip.

Do not check the pressure, test or practice using the fire extinguisher by
squeezing the trigger, even briefly. The fire extinguisher is not rechargeable
or refillable. Once used, it will gradually lose pressure and will not be fully
charged for use in an emergency.

Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances after the use
of a fire extinguisher. Please refer to the fire extinguisher’s user manual for
further instructions on maintenance and clean up.

Occupant Safety
Smoke Alarm
Some of the most common fire safety issues are burning candles, smoking in bed, leaving
children unattended and cleaning with flammable fluids. The smoke detector is intended to
help reduce those risks.
Your vehicle is equipped with a smoke alarm that is listed for use in Recreation Vehicles.
They are not fool proof. Smoke alarms only work if they are operational and maintained.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the user information provided from the
manufacturer of the smoke alarm, including information regarding the limited life of
smoke alarms.
Please be aware the smoke alarm cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach it. Anything
preventing smoke from reaching the alarm may delay or prevent an alarm (i.e., a closed door
may prevent smoke from reaching an alarm on the other side of the door, etc.).

This smoke alarm will not alert hearing impaired residents. Special alarms
with flashing strobe lights are recommended for the hearing impaired
There are instances when the smoke detector alarm may not be heard. Though the alarm
horn in this detector meets or exceeds current UL standards, it may not be heard for many
reasons. These include (but not limited to): a closed or partially closed door, the alarm may
be drowned out by other noise like the TV, stereo, traffic, weather, air conditioner or other
appliances.
Operation
The smoke alarm is operational once the battery is correctly installed. The LED light will
indicate the battery is functioning properly. When the production of combustion is sensed,
the smoke detector sounds a loud alarm that continues until the air is cleared. The LED light
will also give a visual indication of a sounding alarm.
How to test
Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm when testing as the alarm horn may be harmful
to your hearing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency. The test button will
accurately test all functions. Never use an open flame from a match or lighter to test this
smoke alarm.
A warning label is located near the smoke alarm Please do not remove the following label
from your recreation vehicle:
Smoke Detector Warning Label
18
Occupant Safety

Test the smoke alarm operation after the vehicle has been in storage, before
each trip and at least once per week during use. Do not disconnect the battery
or the alarm.
Maintenance
Gently vacuum off any dust on the cover of the smoke alarm with your vacuum’s soft brush
attachment. Test the smoke alarm once you have vacuumed. Never use water, cleaners or
solvents to clean the smoke alarm as they may damage the smoke alarm. Do not paint the
smoke detector. For information on how to maintain your smoke detector, refer to the smoke
detector user’s guide.
Battery
The smoke alarm will not function if the battery is missing, disconnected, dead, the wrong
type of battery is used or the battery is not installed correctly. The smoke detector requires
one standard 9V battery.
When the battery becomes weak, the smoke alarm will “beep” about once a minute (the low
battery warning). This low battery warning should last for 30 days, but you should replace
the battery immediately to continue your protection.
When the battery is removed from the alarm, the battery flag in the compartment will pop up;
therefore, the alarm cannot be installed to the mounting bracket without a battery.

Only use the replacement battery recommended by the smoke detector
manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm may not operate properly with other
batteries. Never use a rechargeable battery as it may not provide a constant
charge. Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.
Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery once
the smoke alarm starts “beeping” (the low battery warning). For information on the correct
battery and battery installation for your smoke detector, refer to the smoke detector user’s
guide.
Replacement
Smoke alarms have a limited life and are not foolproof. Smoke alarms will wear out over
time like any appliance. Always replace the detector immediately if it is not working
properly, it displays any type of problem, or within five years of use. Refer to the smoke
detector manufacturer’s user guide for additional information.
Combination Carbon Monoxide /Propane Alarm
Your motor home is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO) / propane alarm
that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/propane
alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.

Occupant Safety

The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices that
provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under
30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide
fumes rests solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane alarm is just
the first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide poisoning.
The alarm is wired directly to the motor home 12-volt electrical system, with continuous
power being supplied by the motor home batteries. There is no 9-volt battery power supply.
As a result, the alarm is always drawing a small amount of current from the motor home
batteries. Although the current draw is slight, it could drain the motor home batteries during
extended storage periods. This condition is not likely to occur except during storage situations
when the inverter cannot restore the battery charge. If the battery cable is disconnected at
the battery terminals, the combination alarm will not work.
Carbon Monoxide/propane alarm

(alarm may vary from model shown)
Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer of
the combination CO/propane alarm that has been provided with your motor home. This
includes information regarding the limited life of the alarm.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims are aware they
are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting
the motor home or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the
first affected.
20
Occupant Safety

The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should
be discussed with all members of the household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described
as “flu-like” symptoms).
Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure,
death.
Your combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is designed to detect the toxic carbon
monoxide fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from
appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A carbon monoxide/propane alarm
is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms. This carbon
monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion.
It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Please note that there are hazards
against which carbon monoxide detection may not be effective, such as natural gas leaks or
explosions.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon monoxide/propane gas, however
there are other combustible fumes or vapors that may be detected by the sensor including
(but not limited to): acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline.
These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, colognes,
perfumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the
propellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up a recreational
vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be detected for months after
the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer to Sec. 2, Formaldehyde).
What you should do if the alarm sounds

Actuation of this detector indicates the presence of carbon monoxide which
can kill you.
1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.

2. Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).
3. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or by an open door or window).
4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door or window until the
emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your
alarm remains in its normal condition.

Occupant Safety
If your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-4 and call a qualified
appliance technician to investigate for sources of carbon monoxide from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. Make sure
that motor vehicle(s) are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent
to the motor home.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the alarm serviced immediately. Note
any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s
instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about carbon
monoxide safety and this alarm.

Never turn the 12-volt battery disconnect control to the off position and
disconnect the battery cable to silence an alarm. The alarm will automatically
sense when the level of carbon monoxide in the air reaches below dangerous
levels. You should stay outside the vehicle in fresh air until the alarm is
silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The
sound produced by the alarm is loud because it is designed to wake a person
in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be
harmful to your hearing.
Alarm signals
Normal operation
The LED will maintain a steady green light, indicating that the alarm is powered.
CO alarm condition
The red LED light will remain steady and the alarm will sound 4 “BEEPS” then silent
for 5 seconds. These signals indicate immediate action is required.
Propane gas alarm
The red LED flash and the alarm will sound a steady tone. These signals indicate
immediate action is required.
Alarm malfunction/low battery
The gas LED will remain off and the Operational/CO LED will alternate red/green and
the alarm will sound once every 15 seconds.
End of life alarm
The LED will flash red/red, green/green and the alarm will “BEEP” every 25-30
seconds. The alarm should be immediately replaced.
Maintenance
Vacuum the alarm cover at least once a year. Clean the cover by hand using a cloth dampened
in clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not spray the front panel of the alarm with cleaning
agents or waxes. This action may damage the sensor causing an alarm or cause the alarm to
malfunction. Do not paint the face of the alarm.
22
Occupant Safety
Testing the combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm

Test the alarm operation after the motor home has been in storage, before each
trip and at least once per week during use.
The TEST/RESET button tests all ELECTRICAL functions of the alarm. The TEST/Mute
switch is located on the front of the alarm. Press and hold the test button for 1 second. The
alarm is working properly if the GREEN indicator light changes color to RED and the horn
beeps 4 times. The Gas LED should also blink red.
NOTE: Pressing the test button does not check the sensor opera-
tion. Refer to the carbon monoxide/propane alarm manufacturers
user’s manual provided with your motor home for additional informa-
tion on testing the sensors.
Repair or replace the combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm when the alarm no
longer functions. As with any electronic product, it has a limited life. Alarms that do not
work cannot protect you.
NOTE: The carbon monoxide/propane alarm manufacturer strongly

recommends replacement of the detector five years after the date of
purchase.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for additional information concerning the carbon
monoxide/propane alarm.
Formaldehyde
Some components in the recreation vehicle contain formaldehyde-based adhesives that may
release formaldehyde fumes into the air for an unknown period of time. Individuals who are
allergic to formaldehyde gas fumes may experience irritation to eyes, ears, nose and throat.
Indoor air quality may also be affected by leaving your vehicle closed for a period of time.
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the recreation vehicle by opening all windows and circulate
the air with a fan.
The following label is located inside the vehicle near the entry door. The label should be left
permanently affixed to the recreation vehicle:

Extended Or Full Time Usage

Your new recreation vehicle has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not
intended for use as full-time quarters or a permanent residence. Continuous living in your
vehicle could cause accelerated wear and damage to the various components.

Continuous of permanent living in your recreation vehicle may affect your
warranty coverage and may void the “Limited Warranty” applicable to your
vehicle.
Cold Weather Usage

When used in freezing or below freezing temperatures, the following precautions need to
be taken:
Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and drainage systems to avoid freeze-
ups.
Propane gas (if so equipped) and sufficient power is needed for protection from possible
freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator. Keep in mind that more frequent furnace
operation will substantially increase battery draw and propane gas use.
During cool weather usage, ventilation or addition of a dehumidifier may be required
to reduce condensation.
Check outside extrusions on compartment doors, locks, slide outs, windows, vents, etc.,
for frozen moisture before operating to avoid damage to parts.
Condensation

Condensation may cause dampness, mildew, mold, staining and, if allowed to
continue, it may result in damage to the recreation vehicle (damage caused by
condensation is not warrantable). It can also lead to mold or mildew issues,
which could be a health hazard.
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with climate
conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there is water
vapor present in the air, which each of us adds to by breathing, bathing or cooking. The
24
Occupant Safety
water vapor usually collects on the coolest surfaces. When the temperature reaches the “dew
point” the water vapor in the air condenses and changes to a liquid form.
Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist in
controlling the condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers sized
for recreation vehicle use. Other suggestions are:
Crack open windows and roof vents to allow warm moist air to escape.
When taking a shower open the bath roof vent (if so equipped) approximately ½”
allowing the moisture to escape.
Use the range hood fan (if so equipped) when cooking or washing dishes.
Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes) inside the recreation vehicle to dry.
If condensation is found in cabinets or closets, open those doors slightly to equalize the
temperature and provide ventilation.

Weight Information Label

Loading Your Motorhome

Never load the motor home in excess of the GVWR or the GAWR for
either axle. Overloading your motor home may result in adverse handling
characteristics and damage to the chassis.
When loading heavy objects keep them as low as possible, preferably on the floor.
When loading heavy objects keep them as low as possible, preferably on the floor. Distribute
cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not exceed one half of the GAWR for either
axle. Store and secure all loose items inside the motor home before traveling. Overlooked
items such as canned goods, small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on the range
or free-standing furniture items can become dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.

For traveling safety, it is important to make sure the tie down straps are secured
on all appliances such as the toaster, coffee maker, etc. Vibration during travel
will move the appliances, creating the potential for them to fall out of their
cabinets possibly causing injury

The actual weight of the vehicle, passengers, all options, liquids, the hitch
weight of your towed vehicle and your personal cargo is important for you
to know so you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of
the motor home. The volume of space available for storage may exceed the
amount of available cargo capacity. Large storage compartments have been
designed to accommodate normal camping items, which are bulky, but not
necessarily heavy.

Store items in areas designated for storage. Do not store anything in the areas
reserved for the converter, electrical panels, furnace or water heater, etc.

Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the
vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle
as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are
secured so they do not shift during travel.
30

DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your
vehicle as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight.
If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the motor home,
or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe
weight. Weight labels are posted inside a cabinet door inside all motor homes
so you can make a decision before you buy about how much cargo capacity is
important for you personally.
Trailer Plug
The motor home has been equipped with a trailer electrical receptacle located near the trailer
hitch. Before hitching up to a trailer, please read Pre-Travel Information for information on
the trailer hitch, vehicle weight ratings, etc. Your motor home may have both 4-way and
7-way trailer receptacles.
Weighing Your Motor home
Now that your motor home is loaded you should have it weighed. The actual weight of the
motor home, passengers, all options, liquids, the hitch weight of your towed vehicle and
your personal cargo is important for you to know so you do not exceed the GVWR. There
are two important factors when loading your motor home, total weight and balance.
It is imperative that you verify compliance within all applicable weight ratings. Overloading
your motor home will void the Limited Warranty and the warranties of many component
part manufacturers.
Have your RV weighed periodically at a public scale to determine the proper load
distribution. Keep in mind that individual scales will operate differently. The surroundings
of the scale need to be adequate to accommodate weighing each side of your motor home.
There are three basic types of public scales. Each type of scale involves a different procedure
in weighing the motor home. Your motor home must remain as level as possible on the scale
(even if an axle is not physically on the scale). To obtain the side-to-side weights, make
sure there is enough space on either side of the scale to accommodate the motor home being
partially off the scale.
If a boat, trailer or other vehicle is being towed, it should be weighed separately. This weight
should be combined with the motor home’s Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) to ensure the total
combined weight does not exceed the GCWR.
Once actual weights are obtained, it is now possible to compare them to the Weight
Information Label weight ratings to ensure you are below the posted minimum ratings.
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to weights on
the other side, components (tires, wheels, brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side may be
overloaded, although the total axle load is within the GAWR.


It is important to redistribute the load to avoid component failure as well as to
improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle.

Dump the gray and black water holding tanks before traveling to avoid
carrying unnecessary weight. Traveling with the tanks full can affect your
fuel consumption, and depending on the location of the tanks, can affect
your vehicle handling characteristics. If you are dry camping and cannot
immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your vehicle speed until you
reach a dumping station.
See Section 4 Vehicle Operation – Using The Rear Hitch, for important information on how
towing a vehicle affects the motor home weight.
32
Vehicle Operations
Vehicle Operation
You will find that your motor home will travel safely and comfortably at highway speed
limits. However, it will take longer than a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Keep
this in mind when overtaking and passing another vehicle. Allow more time to go around
the vehicle you are passing. You cannot cut back into the traffic lane as quickly due to the
longer length of your motor home. Drive with caution to avoid situations that might require
quick momentum changes.
The motor home has a longer turning radius than the average automobile. When making a
turn, check the road clearance and be aware of others, especially if towing a vehicle behind
your motor home. Have someone help guide you out of a difficult parking space or traffic
pattern. Swerves and sharp turns, especially at high speeds, could result in loss of control
of the motor home.
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect the performance and handling
of your vehicle. Do not operate the cruise control on icy or extremely wet roads, winding
roads, in heavy traffic, or in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be
maintained.
Using The Rear Hitch

Do not install a frame equalizing type hitch on your motor home.
The motor home is designed primarily as a recreation vehicle. Any towing will affect
vehicle handling, durability and fuel economy. Exceeding any of the listed weight ratings
will result in unacceptable overall vehicle performance. Your safety and satisfaction require
proper use of correct equipment.
The factory installed towing hitch on this vehicle is capable of pulling 15,000 pounds of
load (maximum), and a maximum vertical (tongue) weight of 1,500 pounds. A hitch bar
of appropriate strength and steel should be selected to meet the capacities of the towing
receptor.
Always use safety chains between the motor home and the towed trailer or vehicle. Cross
the chains under the tongue and allow for slack when turning corners. Connect the safety
chains to the vehicle frame or hook retainers. Never attach the safety chains to the bumper.
Before descending a steep or long grade when towing a trailer or vehicle, reduce speed and
shift the motor home into a lower gear to control vehicle speed. Avoid frequent or prolonged
brake application, which can cause overheating or brake failure.
By definition the GCWR is “the maximum total weight rating allowed for a vehicle and any
attachment, such as a trailer or towed vehicle. To determine the total allowable weight for a
towed item, subtract the GVWR from the GCWR.”

Vehicle Operations
Towing & Braking label

Total weight of your motor home and any trailer or vehicle towed by it
must not exceed the GCWR. Do not assume that you can tow a vehicle that
happens to be within the capacity of the hitch. By doing so, you may exceed
the total GCWR of the motor home.

The total weight of your motor home (including cargo, passengers, fluids,
etc…) in addition to the vertical (tongue) weight must not exceed the
GVWR and/or any GAWR. Once again, do not assume that you can tow
a trailer or vehicle that happens to be within the vertical (tongue) weight
capacity of the hitch. By doing so, you may exceed the GVWR and/or GAWR
of the motor home.
In addition, a separate supplemental braking system must be installed if the towed trailer or
vehicle meets or exceeds the minimum weight determined by the chassis manufacturer (this
minimum weight rating will vary by chassis and chassis manufacturer).
Contact your dealer for assistance in determining whether a separate braking system is
recommended for your towing and traveling safety. Failure to follow these instructions will
create a safety hazard and may result in an accident.

Your motor home chassis breaking system is rated for operation at
GVWR, NOT GCWR. Any trailer or vehicle being towed by your motor
home must have adequate brakes as required by all state (or province) and
local regulations for towing with your motor home, including areas you may
be traveling through.
Maintenance
Keep the hitch clean along with your general frame maintenance.
At the beginning of the season, and monthly or thereafter, clean the inside of the
receiver tube with a wire brush and spray with a silicone spray.
Always remove the utility mount from the receiver when it is not in use. This will help
prevent the utility mount from rusting to the tube.
34
Vehicle Operations
Periodically check the bolts for tightness. They need to be torqued to the proper setting
(refer to your Chassis Guide).
Refer to the Electrical Systems section for information on the trailer plug.
Braking & Stopping
Even though your motor home is equipped with brakes designed for its Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) we suggest you practice stopping away from traffic until you become
accustomed to your motor home’s stopping distance. Your motor home is equipped with a
third brake light that activates when the brakes are engaged.
When descending a long hill, shift the transmission into a lower gear and engage the
auxiliary engine braking. Auxiliary engine brake engagement is activated by a switch on
the driver’s console.
See the chassis owner’s manual for additional information. The transmission and engine will
help in controlling downhill speed and can lengthen brake life. The distance required to stop
the motor home is greater than an automobile’s.
Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.
Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance or cause
the vehicle to pull to one side. Check the motor home’s brake operation in a safe area to be
sure they have not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if a difference in braking
efficiency is noticeable.

Your motor home chassis braking system is rated for operation at GVWR not
GCWR.
Parking Brake
The parking brake should be engaged when the motor home is parked. Never drive your
motor home with the parking brake engaged as this will reduce braking effectiveness and
cause excessive driveline wear. Refer to your Chassis guide for more information on the
parking brake.
Step Well & Cover
Air powered step well cover
The step well cover can be extended or retracted using the “step cover” switch located on
the passenger side console.

Make sure there are no obstructions when operating the step well cover. To
avoid personal injury, do not operate the step well cover when standing in the
step well.

Vehicle Operations
Entrance Step
Your motor home is equipped with an electric entrance step. To operate, locate the “Step”
control located near the entrance door on the passenger side console (the 12-volt battery
disconnect switch must be ON).

When opening the door from the outside, make sure you are not obstructing
the path of the entrance step. Step deployment takes approximately two
seconds. Keep hands and fingers clear while extending or retracting. BE
SAFE, LOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR EXITING YOUR MOTOR
HOME!
NOTE: If the step encounters an immovable object, such as a

curb, while being deployed, it will stop and shut down in that position.
It will retract normally when the door is closed.

Look before you exit. As it is possible to deliberately lock the steps in the
retracted or closed position with the rocker switch, passengers should always
be cautioned to be sure the steps are fully deployed before exiting the motor
home. Stepping on a partially extended step can cause damage to the step
frame.
STEP WITH CONTROL UNIT--(Normal Operation/Automatic Mode)

1. Close the door. The step should retract and lock in the ‘up’ position.
2. Open the door. The step should extend and lock in the ‘down’ position with the under
step light illuminated.
NOTE: The under step light operation is as follows:

◘◘ The light is ‘on’ when the step is extended.
◘◘ The light is ‘off’ when the step is retracted.
◘◘ In the event the coach door / screen door is left open, the light
will turn ‘off’ after 5 minutes.
36
Vehicle Operations

Always be sure that the step is fully retracted before traveling. If the step is
left extended and strikes an obstruction while the vehicle is moving, major
damage to both the step and the vehicle could result.

Do not hold the switch in for longer than it takes to either extend or retract the
step or damage to the motor home will result.
STEP WITH CONTROL UNIT--(Step Lock Function/Stationary Extended Mode.)

1. If your step is equipped with an override switch, turn it to the ‘ON’ position. The step
should remain in the extended position with the under step light ‘off’ when the door is
closed.
2. With the step override switch turned ‘ON’, the step extended, and the entrance door
closed, turn the vehicle ignition on. The ignition override system will go into effect and
the step will automatically retract.
NOTE: If the yellow wire from the four-way connector is not con-
nected to an ignition power source, the ignition safety system will be
inoperative and the step will remain in the extended position. In this
case, the step lock switch must be placed in the Automatic Mode
position for the step to retract.
3. Turn the vehicle ignition off and open the door. The step will extend and lock in the
‘down’ position. This is the ‘Auto Extend’ feature. When the vehicle ignition is turned
on, the step will always activate with the door movement, regardless of the step switch
position.
NOTE: If the yellow wire from the four-way connector is not con-
nected to an ignition power source, the ignition will not cause the
step to retract if the step lock switch is placed in the Automatic Mode
position, regardless of the door position.

Vehicle Operations
Entrance Door

Make sure the entrance door is completely closed and locked when traveling.
Locking the door helps prevent it from opening unintentionally and keeps
intruders from your motor home.
Keys
Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle. Most keys have an individual
key number stamped on the plate. Record these key numbers and keep the information in a
safe place. You can order a key blank from your dealer to have duplicate keys made. If you
lose the keys, contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance. Make sure the keys are
not inside the vehicle before you close and lock the entrance door.
NOTE: Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual

lubrication using a light coat of silicone spray. Conditions such
as rain, salt, dust and pollution may increase the maintenance
needs.
Keyless Entry
Your motor home is equipped with a keyless entry system. This system includes a keypad
integrated grab handle and keyless entry FOB transmitter and receiver.
The following is an overview of the keyless entry system operation and functions. For
detailed instructions refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included in the Owner’s Portfolio,
or visit the manufacturer’s website.

Driver & Front Passenger Seat

Do not adjust the seat while driving. After adjusting the seat, make sure that it
is locked in position. To ensure that the seat is locked securely, try to move the
seat forward or backward without using the adjusting lever or button. Do not
put packages, pets or other objects between the driver’s and front passenger
co-captain’s seat.
NOTE: The driver’s and front passenger seat must be locked in the
forward facing position while the motor home is in motion.
6-way power seat (if so equipped)

Use the controls to slide the 6-way power seat to the desired position. Release the control,
and the seat will lock at that position. The 6-way power seat has a three-point seat belt and
is multi-adjustable. Features include armrests, lumbar support, swivel, slide and reclining
capabilities.

Operate the power seat with care so that you do not have a hand or foot caught
by the seat.

Vehicle Operations

To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden
stop, always keep both the driver’s captain and front passenger co-captain
seat backs in a nearly upright position while the motor home is moving. The
protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the
seat back is reclined. When the seat back is reclined, there is a greater risk that
the passenger will slide under the belt, resulting in serious injury.
To rotate the driver/passenger seat

To face the driver or front passenger seat toward the rear of the vehicle, pull the seat swivel
release lever up and rotate the seat. To return the seat to the original position, rotate seat
back to the driving position until you hear a click and the seat locks into position.
Seat Belts

Legislation in some states may require you to use seat belts, but even if it is
not required a seat belt should always be worn by anyone who drives or rides
in this vehicle.
Never use one seat belt for more than one occupant. Never carry more
people in the motor home than there are seat belts.
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be occupied while the vehicle
is in motion. While traveling, do not occupy beds or any seats that do
not have seat belts.
Be sure to lock all doors before driving. Locking the doors and using
the provided seat belts will minimize the risk of injury or ejection in an
accident.
If you are pregnant, consult your health care professional for advice on
seat belt use.
Seat belts are installed in your motor home to protect the driver and passengers. Always use
seat belts. In an accident, injury to the driver and passengers may be reduced if seat belts
are properly used. The booth dinette, hide-a-bed sofa, and easy bed sofa have two-point
lap-seat belts installed.
Seat belts should be used in all seating positions.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
The webbing used in seat belts may be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent solution. Allow
the belts to dry in the shade and do not allow them to retract until fully dry.
Do not try to bleach or re-dye the belts. The resulting color may rub off and the webbing
strength could be affected.
Regularly check the seat belt buckles and release mechanisms for positive action and check
automatic locking retractors for positive engagement.
42
Vehicle Operations
If the seat belt webbing shows obvious cuts, protruding broken fibers or severe fading
which indicates weakening by exposure to sunlight, the entire seat belt assembly should be
replaced.

Climate Control System

Your motor home has been equipped with an integrated heating / air conditioning system. It is
designed to provide windshield defrost, heating and cooling for the front seat occupants only,
and is not capable of heating and cooling the entire motor home. Refer to the manufacturer’s
manual for detailed operating instructions and tips.
Dash Mounted Climate control system
System Layout
The heater / air conditioner unit is located beneath the dash in the center or right side of the
vehicle (orientation from inside). In most modes of operation the unit draws in fresh air from
the outside and heats or cools it before discharging the treated air into the vehicle. Only in
the MAX A/C mode does the system draw air from inside the vehicle.
Operating Features
The air conditioning system is designed to operate in all modes except VENT, FLOOR, and
OFF. This provides significant moisture, dust and pollen removal for enhanced passenger
comfort.
NOTE: When outside ambient temperatures are below approxi-

mately 40° F, the A/C compressor may cycle rapidly. Use VENT
mode (see below) instead of A/C in these temperature conditions to
cool the interior air temperature. For operational safety in the event
of the loss of vacuum, the HVAC system is designed to discharge air
through the defrost vents to provide continuous windshield defogging.
50
Vehicle Operations
Air Distribution – Mode Control

To achieve the maximum comfort in your motor home, the air must be directed where it is
needed. The mode switch (right of center) gives the driver the ability to select where the air
will flow.
MAX A/C Air is drawn from the passenger compartment (Re-circulated Air) and
discharged through the dash louvers. This position is used to provide maximum
cooling, and is generally used during extremely hot weather conditions for initial cool-
down periods. Because MAX A/C does not allow fresh “outside” air into the passenger
compartment, it may cause fogging of the windows, and/or stale air, when used for
prolonged periods of time. Switch to A/C mode periodically if these conditions occur.
A/C Outside air (Fresh Air) is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash
louvers. These louvers can be adjusted for maximum comfort.
VENT Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash louvers.
For enhanced passenger comfort, upper-level ventilation air is also discharged through
the defrost outlets.
OFF The blower motor does not operate in this mode. The fresh air inlet door closes,
minimizing outside air infiltration into the vehicle.
BI-LEVEL - Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash
louvers, floor, and defrost outlets. The A/C system operates in BI-LEVEL mode.
FLOOR - Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the floor outlets.
In some models a small amount of air is directed to the windshield for defrost. The A/C
system does not operate in FLOOR mode.
MIX - Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the floor and defrost
outlets. The A/C system operates in MIX mode to provide windshield defogging.
DEFROST - Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the defrost
outlets. The A/C system operates in DEFROST mode to provide windshield defogging.
NOTE: In the event of a loss of vacuum, system will automati-

cally switch to DEFROST MODE and divert all control of the system
temperature and blower speed to the driver in such an occurrence.

Loss of vacuum effects many other functions of the vehicle as well as the
heating system. In the event of loss of vacuum, the vehicle should be taken
immediately to the nearest authorized service center for diagnosis and/or
repair..

Auto Leveling Operation
Baseline Zero Point Calibration: “Baseline zero point” is the term used to define the
point at which the motor home interior floor is level in the “X” and “Y” plains.. The
base line zero point has been preset from the factory. If the coach is not level following
an attempt to Auto Level, You will need to reset the baseline zero point.
To set the baseline zero point, push and release the POWER keypad button to engage
power. The LED next to the POWER button should be lit RED when power is on.
Level the coach by deploying jacks manually (using the DOWN keypad button, extend
each jack until the coach is level), or by simply parking the coach on a level site.
You do not need to have jacks deployed to set the baseline zero point. Use a bubble
level on a flat surface in the center of the coach as a reference.
Level the coach in both the “X” and “Y” plains (fore-aft and side to side). Once level,
turn the POWER off at the panel. Depress and hold the AUTO-LEVEL keypad button.
Continue to hold the AUTO-LEVEL button and press and release the POWER button
and listen for a series of beeps. After the panel has beeped 5 to 6 times, release the
AUTO-LEVEL button (the keypad will continue to beep as long as the AUTO-LEVEL
button is held). The new baseline zero point has been set and the panel will maintain
this setting. Press and release the ALL RETRACT button to retract the jacks to the
stowed position.
Power On: Push and release the POWER button to engage power. The LED next to the
POWER button should be lit RED when power is on. You will need to have the ignition
key in the “off” position to extend the jacks. If you attempt to extend individual jacks by
pressing the OWN button or all jacks with the AUTO-LEVEL button, you will hear a “deny”
tone from the keypad if the ignition key is in the improper position.
Auto Level: Press the AUTO-LEVEL button and release. The system will send out a
continuous series of beeps, the “OPERATING” LED will flash RED to let you know
Auto Level is operating and will automatically level the coach. When completed, the
keypad will signal a successful level with a dual-level tone. The keypad may be left on
once level has been achieved. The keypad will enter “sleep mode” after five minutes
of inactivity.
Retracting the Jacks: The Equalizer System provides the ability to retract the jacks
using the ALL RETRACT button or the UP button for each individual jack. All jacks
will automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL RETRACT
54
Vehicle Operations
button is pressed and released. The pump will run in retract mode for 60 seconds (or
90) to ensure the jacks are fully stowed. You may allow the system to run for the entire
programmed time and stop automatically, or you may stop the ALL RETRACT by
pressing any button on the keypad.
Manual operation
Power on: Push and release the POWER keypad button to engage power. The LED next to
the POWER button should be lit RED when power is on. If you attempt to extend individual
jacks by pressing the DOWN keypad button or all jacks with the AUTO-LEVEL button,
you will hear a “deny” tone from the keypad if the ignition key is in the improper position.
Planting the Jacks: Using the DOWN keypad button, extend each jack until they contact
the ground (this is referred to as “planting” the jacks).
As you extend the jacks, the LED lights on the keypad will indicate the jacks are out of
the “stowed” position. Jacks may be operated individually or in pairs. Do not manually
overextend individual jacks. This may cause unwanted stress on the coach or the jacks.
Leveling the Coach: Use a bubble level in the center of the coach as a reference. Level
the vehicle by using DOWN or UP keypad buttons until the vehicle is level. Jacks may
be operated individually or in pairs as long as they are operated in the same direction.
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle off of the tires. The keypad may be left “on” once
level has been achieved. The keypad will enter “sleep mode” after five minutes of
inactivity.
Retracting the Jacks: The Equalizer System provides the ability to retract the jacks
using the ALL RETRACT button or the UP button for each individual jack. All jacks
will automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL RETRACT
button is pressed and released.
The pump will run in retract mode until all of the jacks are fully stowed (plus an additional
5 seconds) up to a maximum of 60 seconds. You may stop the ALL RETRACT by
pressing any button on the keypad. Your coach is equipped with air suspension, and it
is recommended that you start your coach before pressing ALL RETRACT allowing
the chassis air to build. This will ensure adequate air supply to the chassis air valves.
NOTE: There are specific instances when manual extension of one

(or more) jack is inhibited (deny tone when DOWN is depressed).
This situation is caused by the “anti-twist” protocol in the software
contained in the control box. Simply stated, the “anti-twist” protocol
denies jack extension if the system senses that a specific corner of
the coach is approximately 3 degrees higher than the rest. You will
be able to extend other jacks to overcome this slope. If the system
incorrectly senses excessive slope, this can be overcome by re-
setting the baseline zero point. This will allow manual extension of
all jacks. Remember to re-set the baseline zero point after manually
leveling the coach.

Vehicle Operations
Helpful Hints
The ALL RETRACT function is a timed event. Pressing ALL RETRACT will cause
the pump to run in retract mode for 60 seconds (or 90 seconds, depending on your
specific system).
Your leveling system is a microprocessor-controlled system. Proper and adequate
battery voltage and permanent chassis ground are essential.
Your system may be equipped with a manual override option. Refer to the procedure
for proper operation of this option. It is usually better to review this procedure prior
to its actual use, rather than having to learn a new procedure in difficult environments.
If a jack comes out of the stowed position while traveling, the system panel will
automatically activate and return the jack to the stowed position.
Panel Indicator LED
There are a total of ten (10) LED indicators on the Equalizer Keypad. The function of these
LED’s is detailed below.

Front Axle Tire Alignment

The term alignment refers to both the adjustment angles on the steering axle and suspension
and tracking of the rear axle. Many factors are considered when establishing proper
alignment. Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings and even proper loading will
affect the alignment.
We recommend you have the front suspension and steering alignment checked and
adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle according to your needs as part of the
vehicle maintenance. Thereafter, it is your responsibility to have the alignment inspected
periodically to maintain vehicle steering performance and prevent uneven tire wear as part
of your normal maintenance.
NOTE: Always have the alignment checked and adjusted by a

qualified shop with the proper equipment to handle heavy vehicles.
NOTE: A road test by the dealer should be included as part of the

pre-delivery inspection. The dealer can check for and correct any
steering problems before you take delivery.
After this road test has been completed, front-end alignment and/or vibrations will not be
covered as part of the new vehicle limited warranty.
Wheel Lug Nuts/Wheel Liners

Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel lug nuts could lead to separation
of the tire and wheel while driving, possibly resulting in property damage or
personal injury.
58
Vehicle Operations

Check and tighten the wheel lug nuts regularly to make sure they did not loosen
during travel. Refer to your Chassis Guide for torque recommendations. Failure
to tighten and maintain wheel lug nuts to the proper torque specification, could
allow the wheels to come off while the motor home is in motion, and could
result in serious injury in the event of a collision or loss of vehicle control.
Torque is the amount of rotating force applied to a fastener, such as a lug nut. Proper torque
of lug nuts can only be achieved by using a properly calibrated torque wrench and socket. Do
not use a 4-way socket or any other type of wrench that does not measure the actual pressure
applied to the lug nut.
NOTE: The proper method of tightening wheel lug nuts is

with a torque wrench, not with an impact wrench or by hand.
Because of the importance of having proper torque on the
wheel lug nuts, you should always have the wheels mounted
and properly torqued by a qualified technician using the proper
tools.
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque periodically for safety according to your
Chassis Guide. If you suspect the wheel lug nuts have loosened at any time, have them
checked and torqued to the proper limits immediately.
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque according to the listed torque values.
Wheel lugs
If you suspect or notice the wheel stud bolts are cracked or broken, they must be replaced,
along with adjacent bolts that have probably also been weakened due to the additional stress
placed on them.
Aluminum Wheels (if so equipped)
Clean the aluminum wheels with a cleaner that is designed for use on aluminum and apply
an appropriate protection agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wheels exposed to sea water
or road chemicals should be cleaned as soon as possible. Be sure to use a sponge or chamois
leather (brushes may damage the aluminum wheel surface.)
NOTE: If your motor home is equipped with aluminum wheels, only

the outer dual wheels are aluminum, the inner duals are steel wheels.

Wheel Bearings & Brakes

Follow the Chassis Guide maintenance instructions for the front and rear axle for wheel and
suspension maintenance, including the brakes and wheel bearings. Contact your Chassis
manufacturer for assistance.
Tires
Read and understand the following before taking your first trip in your RV!
Proper care and maintenance of your tires is essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel.
Routine maintenance on your motor home is important, but it cannot be overstated just how
critical proper tire maintenance is to the safety, operation and durability of your new vehicle.
You must follow the manufacturer’s inflation guidelines for maximum load capacity; under-
inflation is just as dangerous as over-inflation.
To insure your tires are operating safely, regular inspection of your tires and checking tire
pressures is absolutely mandatory.
Examine your tires frequently for unusual wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear will
affect tire wear. Make sure to look for cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.
When you are using your motor home, check inflation pressure weekly to insure maximum
tire life and travel wear. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel,
tires heat up and pressure increases. Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires may
then be under-inflated.
NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has

not been used for three or more hours, or has been driven less
than one mile. Tire inflation pressure of a hot tire may show an
increase of as much as 6 psi over a cold tire.
Tire pressure is the most important factor in the life and performance of your tires. Proper
inflation should be monitored closely. Failure to do so could result in the overheating of a
tire, which could result in a blowout. Inflation pressure should be as recommended by the
tire manufacturer or as the federal label for the motor home indicates.

It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each
trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on the
Federal Certification label to determine the correct tire pressure.

Failure to follow proper inflation guidelines may result in tire failure, which,
under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or accidents that
may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.

Electrical Systems
The Electrical System

The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates
off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120/240-volt 60hz AC power. All installations
have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable on the date of manufacture.
Because the electrical equipment and associated circuitry are engineered into a dedicated
system specific to your model, we recommend you do not make unauthorized changes or
add fixed appliances to it. Changes or additions made after delivery may result in a
hazardous condition.
Service and/or modification of the electrical system should only be performed by qualified
electrical technicians using approved materials, components, and methods meeting current
safety and code requirements. Please consult your dealer’s service department for assistance.
To read more about the various components incorporated into the RV electrical system,
please refer to the component manufacturer’s user guide. Consult the Chassis Guide for
information pertaining to the chassis drivetrain electrical system.
Electrical System Maintenance
Always make sure the inverter/charger (if so equipped) is turned “off” before disconnecting
batteries. Always disconnect the shore power cord, turn “off” the generator, disable automatic
generator start functionality, and disconnect the negative 12-volt DC battery terminal before
working on the electrical system.

Use caution when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery terminal or
metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur which could cause personal
injury, explosion or fire.
In Case Of An Electrical Fire

Do not attempt to use water to put out an electrical fire. Water can spread
some types of fire, and electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
1. Have everyone evacuate the motor home immediately.

2. Switch the 120-volt main circuit breaker in the motor home to the “off” position
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable(s) at the battery.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the shore power receptacle.
5. Turn “off” the generator.
6. Always have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components repaired immediately.
NOTE: It is important that everyone knows where to find the main

circuit breaker and how it operates.

Electrical Systems
Controls and Switches

Your motor home is equipped with various switches and controls that allow you to operate
and monitor the systems in your motor home.
Information on these controls and their location will be provided throughout this manual.
Additional information on the various components can be found in your Owner’s Portfolio.
GFCI Receptacle
Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock. Each recreation vehicle has a
ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system. This device
has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock. The GFCI will not
protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly
Push in the GFCI “TEST” button. The GFCI “RESET” button should pop out indicating
the GFCI receptacle has been “tripped” and interrupted 120-volt power.
Push in the GFCI “RESET” button to restore 120-volt power. Contact your t
independent dealer for assistance if the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 120-
volt power and pops back out.
A “tripped” GFCI breaker indicates that abnormally high 120-volt current flow (a ground
fault) was detected through the electrical system grounding circuit. A fault condition can
be caused by faulty wire insulation, wet wiring inside an appliance, or faulty electrical
equipment connected to the circuit, etc. All ground faults must be repaired before use of the
motor home.
Multiplex Lighting and Shade Control (if so
equipped)
The multiplex lighting and shade control system operates most interior lights, exterior
lights, power day shades, and power night shades. This system allows controlled lights and
shades to be operated from multiple locations throughout the coach. It is programmed to
allow the operation of multiple lights or multiple shades as a grouping and/or as individual
components.
Switch functionality
The “Main Power” switch located adjacent the entry steps must be turned “on” to enable
operation of the multiplex lighting and shade control system.
Wall mounted switches controlled by the multiplex system are intended for use as follows:
1. Turn fixed intensity lights “on” by momentarily pressing the right side of the appropriate
switch. Turn fixed intensity lights “off” by momentarily pressing the left side of the
switch.
2. Turn dimmable lights “on” to the intensity that they were outputting during the
previous “on” cycle by momentarily pressing the right side of the appropriate switch.
Brighten the lights by holding the right side of the switch down until the appropriate
lighting intensity is obtained. Dim the lights by holding the left side of the switch
down until the appropriate lighting intensity is obtained. Turn dimmable lights “off” by
momentarily pressing the left side of the switch.
3. Turn all interior lights “on” to the intensity that they were outputting during the previous
“on” cycle by momentarily pressing the right side of the “Light Master” switch. Turn
all interior lights “off” by momentarily pressing the left side of the switch.
68
Electrical Systems
4. Extend power shades by momentarily pressing the down “arrow” (left side) of the
appropriate switch. A second momentarily press of the same down “arrow” on the
switch will stop shade operation.
5. Retract power shades by momentarily pressing the up “arrow” (right side) of the
appropriate switch. A second momentarily press of the same up “arrow” on the switch
will stop shade operation.
NOTE: Operation of front cab area power shades is limited

or disabled when the chassis ignition key is turned to the “on”
position. This feature prevents unintended shade extension
while driving..
120-volt (50 AMP) AC System (If So Equipped)

The 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by an outside 120/240-volt
60hz utility service like those commonly found in campgrounds or by 120/240-volt 60hz
generator power. The entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a
maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg.
Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal 120-volts, will damage or shorten the
service life of the electrical system and appliances. The 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical
system can be powered by an outside 120/240-volt 60hz utility service like those commonly
found in campgrounds or by 120/240-volt 60hz generator power.
The following electrical components will only operate when connected to 120-volt power:
air conditioner(s), refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), home theater system(s), water
heater, washer, dryer, fireplace, electric stove, and appliances plugged into convenience
receptacles.

Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical
system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.

Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord to is a
properly wired 50 amp NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not 240 volt AC.
Testing the Campsite Power Connection

The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper functionality
prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it. DO NOT plug the shore
power cord into a campsite receptacle(s) that has reverse polarity, non-functioning ground
circuits, or that shows outward signs of heat damage. Injury or damage resulting from
connection to malfunctioning or improperly wired power sources is not covered by your
recreation vehicle warranty.

Electrical Systems
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedicated
circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power receptacle
and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity.

Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified
proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in
most electrical and hardware stores.
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to
the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is
not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-
grounded receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important
safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure
that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or
improper grounding of your RV can cause personal injury or death.
50-amp Power Cord (If So Equipped)

PLUG INTO 50-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
The 50 amp external utility power cord is commonly referred to as the “shore” power cord. It
is designed to mate and properly function with 50 amp “shore” power receptacles available
at most campgrounds.
The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 50 amp current flow required to
power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between
the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle.
Connecting The Power Cord

Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source
could damage the motor home electrical system and result in severe or fatal
injury.
70
Electrical Systems
Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical
box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor
indicates ‘reverse polarity’ or an ‘open ground’ DO NOT connect the power cord.
1. Enter the motor home and turn “off” the 50 amp main circuit breaker.
2. Exit the motor home and locate the shore power cord located in the roadside storage
compartment.
3. Carefully unwind the entire length of the power cord and insert the portion of it exiting
the motor home into the sealed slot provided at the bottom of the compartment door
opening.
4. Plug the 50 amp shore power cord into the campground shore power receptacle. Be
sure all the power cord blades are properly plugged into the receptacle.
5. Close the compartment door.
6. Return to the motor home and turn on the 50 amp main circuit breaker.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED 50 AMP CORD REEL (IF SO EQUIPPED)
If your motor home is equipped with a powered cord reel, extend the shore power cord using
the extend/retract switch located near the cord reel. After extending the shore power cord
use the instructions above to make connections to the campground shore power receptacle.
Disconnecting and stowing the shore power cord
Reverse the applicable process (manual or powered cord reel) above to disconnect, retract,
and stow the 50 amp power cord.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect the shore power cord for cuts, cracks, worn insulation and other damage.
Have the power cord replaced immediately if problems exist.
Calculating 50 AMP Electrical Load (If So

Equipped)
When connecting appliances to the electrical system, remember that 120-volt power usage
is limited to 50 amps per electrical system leg for a total of 100 amps. Be mindful of the fact
that each operating appliance collectively places an added load on your 120-volt electrical
system.
An unintentional “trip” of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the recreation vehicle
and/or campground electrical system. The amperage rating of individual appliances can be
calculated by dividing appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by
nominal design voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance). For example: 1200 watts divided by
120-volts equals 10 amps.
Only connect the shore power cord to RV 50 amp 120/240 volt electrical power
receptacles.

Electrical Systems

Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified
proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in
most electrical and hardware stores.
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to
the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is
not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-
grounded receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important
safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure
that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or
improper grounding of your RV can cause personal injury or death.
120-volt Circuit Breakers

The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring
and components in the recreation vehicle from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a
circuit overload or short circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will
“trip” preventing the flow of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut “off” the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter etc.)
and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After the cooling down
period, reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and then back to the “on” position.
If the circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical
problem diagnosed and repaired.
A circuit breaker identification label is permanently attached to the inside surface of the
120-volt Load Center.
NOTE: Load Centers may not always include a main circuit

breaker.

Circuit breakers do not provide complete electrical system protection in the
event of power surge or voltage spike.

Electrical Systems
Replacement
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specified type, voltage, and current
rating. Never replace a circuit breaker with one listed at a higher amperage rating.
Please contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.

Replacement circuit breakers must be of the same voltage, amperage rating
and type. Never use a higher rated replacement circuit breaker; doing so may
cause a fire by overheating the vehicle wiring.
Maintenance
At the beginning of camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as needed. Test
by turning each circuit breaker “off” and back “on”. Circuit breakers are wearable parts and
must be replaced as needed, as part of your RV maintenance. If you have any questions,
consult your dealer.
A label is provided to explain the function of every 120-volt circuit breaker. This label is
located on or near the appropriate load center or sub-panel and must remain permanently
affixed to the recreation vehicle.
Inverter/Charger
The 12-volt DC to 120-volt AC inverter/charger (or multiple inverter/chargers if so equipped)
installed in your motor home is designed to temporarily run selected 120-volt appliances
from house auxiliary battery power.
The inverter/charger(s) itself is located between the chassis frame rails in the cargo storage
area forward of the rear wheels. The remote control panel to operate the inverter/charger is
located in the cabinet above the entry door. 120-volt circuit breakers protecting inverter/
charger output circuits are located in the sub-panels(s) inside the cabinet above the driver’s
seat. Circuit breaker labeling near the sub-panels indicate which appliances can be operated
from inverter/charger power.
Inverter/charger 120-volt AC output may be of the modified or pure sine wave type depending
on the inverter/charger installed in the motor home. Both types of inverter/chargers will
operate most appliances, tools and other 120-volt AC equipment. Some appliances with
timing circuits, such as clocks and bread makers, may not operate correctly on modified sine
wave power.
The inverter/charger also functions as a multi-stage 12-volt power converter/battery charger
when the motor home is connected to 120-volt shore power or when the generator is
running. In this mode the inverter/charger charges the house auxiliary batteries. It can also
charge the chassis batteries when the generator is running.

The inverter/charger generates heat while operating and needs unrestricted air
flow for proper cooling. Do not store anything around or on top of the inverter/
charger that would restrict air flow around it.

Electrical Systems
Inverter/Charger remote controls

The inverter/charger remote control panel is located in the cabinet above the entrance door
of your motor home. To enable automatic inverter operation during power blackout or
brownout conditions leave the inverter/charger(s) in “INVERTER” mode at all times.
The inverter/charger is in “INVERTER” mode when the green “INV” light on the remote
control panel is illuminated.
When in “INVERTER” mode the inverter/charger(s) will be on standby when the motor
home is connected to 50 amp 120-volt AC shore power or when the generator is operating.
All connected appliances operate off of shore power or generator power during this time.
If shore power is interrupted and the generator isn’t running, the inverter/charger(s) will
automatically activate providing 120-volt AC power to connected appliances. See the
inverter/charger owner’s manual for additional information.
Inverter/Charger battery charging function
The inverter/charger functions as a multi-stage battery charger when the motor home is
connected to 120-volt AC shore power or when the generator is operating. The inverter/
charger automatically senses auxiliary battery condition and applies the appropriate battery
charging profile.
In the event the motor home auxiliary batteries become completely discharged, the inverter/
charger will be unable to sense battery voltage and will not begin its charge sequence. To
manually initiate charging, turn the chassis ignition key to the “on” position for a short
period of time.
If the batteries do not charge, or fail to hold a charge, they may be defective. See the inverter/
charger owner’s manual for additional battery charging information.
NOTE: Leaving the inverter/charger in the “on” position when

the motor home is in prolonged storage (no 120-volt AC shore
power connected) will drain the auxiliary batteries even though
all 120-volt AC appliances are turned off.
Inverter/Charger fault conditions

Certain fault conditions will cause the inverter to shutdown. These conditions include:
Low Battery
High Battery
Power Consumption Overload
Inverter Overheating
Inverter Internal Fault
See the inverter/charger owner’s manual for fault code diagnosis and resolution.
NOTE: High battery voltage may be caused by excessive or

unregulated voltage from solar panels and/or other external
battery charging sources.
74
Electrical Systems
Inverter/Charger 12-volt DC fuse

Each inverter/charger and its 12-volt wiring
are protected by a replaceable high current fuse
typically located on the frame rail near the auxiliary
battery bank. A 2000 watt inverter/charger will
be protected by a 300 amp fuse and a 2800 watt
inverter/charger will be protected by a 400 amp fuse. Inverter Fuse
Fuse Inverter/Charger integral 120-volt AC circuit breakers

The inverter/charger is equipped with integral 120-volt AC circuit breakers located on the
inverter/charger metal case. In overload conditions these circuit breakers will trip and
interrupt inverter/charger 120-volt AC input and/or output.
After correcting the overload condition, reset these circuit breakers to resume inverter/
charger 120-volt AC operation. See the inverter/charger owner’s manual for additional
information.
12-volt DC System
The majority of your motor home lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC
system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:
Power is supplied by the chassis alternator when the chassis engine is running.
The power converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord
is plugged into a 120-volt external power source. The converter will also charge the
house batteries in most situations.
The house batteries power many interior 12-volt components including the lighting
fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc, when the motorhome is
not connected to a 120 volt power source.
12-volt Fuse Panel
The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions and the components
powered. At the beginning of camping season, inspect all the 12-volt fuses and replace as
needed. Fuses are located in the Load Center.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical components protected by it.
1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Turn “off” the inverter (if so equipped).
3. Disconnect the house batteries main negative battery cable.
4. Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
5. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block. If the fuse is not blown, something else must
be causing the problem. Please contact your dealer for further assistance.
6. Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the original
location. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse.
The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your motor home. The fuses will
not offer complete protection of the motor home electrical system in the event of a power
surge or spike.

Electrical Systems

Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type.
Never use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by
overheating the RV wiring.
12-Volt DC Outlet
There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the
12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appliance
operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.

Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to
prevent ingestion of foreign material and potential short circuit conditions.
Battery

Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near the batteries
that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals. Contact with the battery
or battery cable terminals could cause an electrical short circuit, discharge the
batteries, or start an electrical fire.
Your motor home is equipped with heavy-duty deep cycle or absorbed glass mat (AGM)
batteries. If the batteries need to be replaced, only deep cycle batteries of the same size and
type should be installed.
Unless a battery has been fully discharged, house auxiliary batteries are normally charged
in one of two ways:
When the power cord is plugged into 120-volt shore power, or when the generator is
operational, the inverter/charger functions as a multi-stage battery charger and will
automatically charge the house auxiliary batteries when required. A bi-directional
charge relay incorporated into the electrical system allows the inverter/charger to
charge the chassis batteries once the house auxiliary batteries are sufficiently charged.
The chassis alternator charging system supplies power to the house auxiliary batteries
when the engine is running and the chassis batteries are sufficiently charged.
Consult the Chassis Guide for information pertaining to the chassis drivetrain electrical
system.
House auxiliary battery voltage
House auxiliary battery voltage can be checked using the inverter/charger remote control
panel located in the cabinet above the entrance door of your motor home.
A fully charged battery will read 12.65 volts DC with a specific gravity of 1.265 at 80°F
(32°C). A battery is considered discharged at 11.89 volts DC or when it has a specific gravity
76
Electrical Systems
of 1.120 or less. When voltage drops to 11.89 volts, irreversible battery damage can occur.
Dry camping
House auxiliary and chassis batteries should be fully charged prior to dry camping. When
disconnected from 120-volt shore or generator power (i.e., while dry camping or tailgating)
all electrically operated appliances and accessories must be used sparingly.
During this period these appliances and accessories are being powered by the house auxiliary
batteries directly, and/or indirectly through the inverter/charger. If excessive amounts of
power are drawn from the house auxiliary batteries, either as small applied loads over an
extended period of time or as high applied loads for a short period of time, they will become
deeply discharged. Permanent battery damage will occur after repeated deep discharge
cycles.
Battery reserve capacity
Typically, a four battery bank of 6-volt CG-2 deep cycle batteries connected in a series/
parallel arrangement to create 12-volts, has a 75 amp discharge rate reserve capacity (RC)
rating of around 420 minutes.
This same house auxiliary battery bank will have a 25 amp discharge rate reserve capacity
(RC) rating of around 1530 minutes. If your motor home has an eight battery bank of 6-volt
CG-2 deep cycle batteries, the reserve capacity minutes listed above are doubled.
General usage information (using estimated ratings)
If you have 15 each 12-volt 20 watt halogen lights (1.67 amps each light x 15 lights = 25.05
amps) operating in your motor home, the four battery bank of batteries listed above would
operate those 15 lights by themselves for 1530 minutes (1530 / 60 minutes = 25.5 hours)
before the batteries were fully discharged. Likewise, a 12-volt load of 75 amps could be
operated for 420 minutes (420 / 60 minutes = 7.0 hours) before the batteries were fully
discharged.
12-volt loads drawn from the battery bank(s) while operating 120-volt appliances through
the inverter/charger can approach 300 amps on a single inverter/charger equipped motor
home, and 700 amps on a dual inverter/charger equipped motor home.
Complete battery discharge will occur quickly when inverter/charger loads are applied.
Batteries discharge at a faster rate the deeper they become discharged. To minimize battery
discharge:
When disconnected from 120-volt shore or generator power and not requiring the
operation of 120-volt appliances or equipment, turn the inverter/charger remote control
panel to the “off” position.
Custom configure your inverter/charger’s remote control panel (see the inverter/charger
owner’s manual) to best meet your power usage profile.
Battery inspection & care

Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the batteries as the hydrogen
gas they create may explode. Do not connect a booster battery or other power
source that outputs more than 14.2-volts DC to the motor home batteries. Use
adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries in an enclosed space

Electrical Systems
Check the level of electrolyte in each battery cell once a year. Add distilled water as needed
to reach the split-level marker on each battery. Keep batteries and battery terminals clean
and tight.
Check the external condition of the batteries periodically. Look for cracks in the cover and
case. Make sure battery vent caps are tight and replace them if they are cracked or broken.

Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into contact with skin, eyes,
fabric or painted surfaces. Electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution that could
cause serious personal injury or property damage. If your hands, eyes, clothes
or the painted surface of your motor home are exposed to electrolyte, flush
the exposed area thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
immediately flush them thoroughly with water and get prompt medical
attention.

Remove metal jewelry and always wear eye protection when working around
batteries.
Battery storage instructions

To prevent house auxiliary battery discharge when your motor home will not be connected
to shore power for extended periods of time, it is recommended you turn “off” the 12-volt
battery disconnect switch, or “main power switch,” and disconnect each battery bank at the
negative battery cable running to the chassis frame.

Make sure the inverter/charger is turned “off” before disconnecting the
negative battery cable from the battery bank. Keep the batteries out of the
reach of children.
During storage, it is important to check the voltage of your batteries at least monthly using
the inverter/charger remote control panel if the negative battery cables remain connected.
Check with a multi-meter when the battery negative cables aren’t connected. Re-charge all
batteries to 12.65 volts as needed. If you remove the batteries from the motor home, store
them in a dry, cool area.
Battery replacement
If house auxiliary batteries need to be replaced, only deep cycle batteries of the same size
and type should be installed. Refer to the Chassis Guide for information on chassis battery
replacement.
Please contact the battery manufacturer for more information on the house auxiliary batteries.
Refer to your Chassis Guide for information pertaining to the chassis batteries.

Electrical Systems
Auxiliary (Battery Boost) Start System

Your motor home is equipped with a “Battery Boost” switch which can momentarily connect
both the house auxiliary and chassis batteries should the chassis batteries become discharged.
To operate, depress the “Battery Boost” switch located on the driver’s side console and hold
it down. While the “Battery Boost” switch is depressed, use the ignition key to start the
chassis engine. Release the “Battery Boost” switch once the engine has started.
If your chassis and house batteries are too discharged to start the engine with this method,
they may need to be recharged (with the on-board inverter/charger) by connecting the
motor home to shore power or by starting the generator. In extremely discharged battery
conditions, the generator may need to be jump started (through the house auxiliary batteries)
to initiate this process.
Battery Disconnect Solenoid
Switch (House Battery
Disconnect)
The battery disconnect solenoid switch, or “main
power switch,” is located near the entrance door on
the front side of the passenger’s console. This switch
is used to disconnect the motor home from house
auxiliary battery power during periods of storage and/
or during electrical system service.
Battery Disconnect Switch
NOTE: The combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm must be

connected to a constant 12-volt power source. The carbon monoxide/
propane alarm remains operational when the battery disconnect
solenoid switch, or “main power switch,” is in the “off” position..

Generator
Your motor home is equipped with a diesel powered generator and a generator slide tray.
The generator produces 120/240-volt power compatible with the motor home electrical
system. It can be used to power the entire motor home when 120/240-volt shore power is
not available.
Transfer switch
The generator interfaces with the 120/240-volt electrical system through a transfer switch
that automatically switches between available shore power and generator power. The transfer
switch does not require any manual operation. When the generator is operating, it powers the
inverter/charger which in turn functions as a multi-stage battery charger to charge the house
auxiliary and chassis batteries.
80
Electrical Systems
NOTE: The diesel generator requires 12-volt power from the house
auxiliary batteries to start, and draws diesel fuel to operate from the
chassis fuel tank. If the fuel level in the chassis fuel tank drops to or
below ¼ full, the generator will automatically shut “off” and cannot be
re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above ¼ full.

CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when
your motor home is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can
accumulate.
Before starting the generator

1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
2. Turn “off” air conditioners and all other 120-volt appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak. Have all
leaks repaired prior to placing the generator back in service.

CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! MOVING PARTS AND
ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal injury or death. To reduce
exposure to these hazards, always disable AGS (if so equipped) before:
Sleeping in vehicle, unless vehicle has a working CARBON MONOXIDE
detector.
Parking vehicle in garage or confined space.
Parking vehicle for storage.
Servicing vehicle for storage.
Servicing generator.
Servicing batteries.
Servicing appliances or electrical systems.
Fueling the vehicle.
DO NOT run the generator or use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON
modes (if so equipped) when your RV is indoors or in a confined space.
Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator
exhaust gasses can accumulate.

Electrical Systems
To manually start the generator

1. A generator “START/STOP” switch is installed in the dash panel. A second generator
“START/STOP” switch is located on the generator itself.
2. At either “START/STOP” switch, press and hold the upper portion of the switch to
start the generator. Depending on the outside temperature, the glow plug-preheat and
the start process could take up to 15 seconds. Once the generator starts running, release
the “START/STOP” switch.
3. For top performance and longest engine life, especially in colder weather, let the
generator engine warm up for two minutes before turning “on” 120-volt appliances.

Excessive usage can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not
engage the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time. If the generator
doesn’t start after the first attempt, wait at least two minutes before beginning
another start sequence. If the generator does not start after a third attempt,
refer to the generator owner’s manual for additional information.
Automatic Generator Start (AGS) system (If So Equipped)

When enabled, the Automatic Generator Start (AGS) system will automatically start and
stop the generator according to operator or factory pre-selected parameters. It can also be
used as a manual generator start/stop switch. AGS is typically used on motorhomes.
1. The AGS system has been set up and tested using default values for the factory-installed
generator. Consult the OEM manual for operator programming information.
2. The AGS system is enabled by pressing the AUTO GEN key followed by pressing
the ENTER key on the face of the Energy Command control panel. You will be asked
to momentarily turn the chassis ignition switch “on” and back “off” to complete the
enabling process.
3. Once enabled the AGS system will be disabled the next time the chassis ignition key is
cycled to either the “on” or “off” position. The AGS may be manually re-enabled after
an ignition key cycle.
4. The AGS system, when enabled, and with the above conditions met, can start and stop
the generator according to:
Front air conditioner call to run
Rear air conditioner call to run
Coach battery low charge level
Coach battery charge level prior to camp ground quiet time (when AGS is set to
quiet time ON mode).
Maintenance
Follow the generator owner’s manual for maintenance intervals and recommendations.
During periods of extended storage:
1. Add a diesel fuel additive to the chassis fuel tank to prevent algae growth.
2. Completely fill the chassis diesel fuel tank to prevent water condensation and rust in
the tank.
82
Electrical Systems
3. Cover the end of the generator exhaust pipe with screen to prevent bug and rodent
intrusion.
With the exception of simple items, such as normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.),
all service work should be done by an authorized repair facility. Improper adjustments can
damage the generator and electrical appliances and can result in a safety hazard.
Exercising Your Generator – it’s also very important to run your generator regularly,
to keep everything in good working order and in the case of gasoline sets, to avoid fuel
varnishing, which can affect performance, if the generator is stored for an extended time.
Lack of exercise can cause moisture build-up and fuel system degradation that make it run
poorly. In fact, in as little as 30 days, the fuel in gasoline-powered generators can begin to
gum and varnish the fuel system. Fuel varnishing results in hard starting and surging. (A
surging generator never settles at a stable operating speed.)
To prevent such problems, it is recommended to run gasoline generators at a minimum
of 50 percent capacity (2000-watts, or one air conditioner for a 4000-watt set) for two
hours once every four weeks. This is necessary to help keep moving parts lubricated, expel
moisture and control fuel varnishing in the carburetor. A long two-hour exercise period is
preferable to several short periods. While traveling, this can be accomplished by running the
air conditioning.
If any discrepancy or problem is noted, contact your dealer for assistance.
For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the generator owner’s
manual. Onan can be contacted at 1-800-888-ONAN (toll-free) or visit www.onanrv .com.
Generator Slide Tray
Certain motor homes are equipped with an air driven power slide mechanism that extends
and retracts the generator. The switch used to extend and retract the power slide tray is
located in the fender fuse compartment, directly forward of the driver’s side front wheel. The
chassis ignition key must be turned “off” and the parking brake applied to enable operation.

If the generator power slide mechanism is in the extended position, it will
automatically retract when the chassis ignition key is turned to the “off”
position. Turn the chassis ignition key to the “on” position and place a note
reading “DO NOT TURN OFF IGNITION KEY” over the entire ignition
switch prior to working on a motor home equipped with a generator power
slide mechanism.
To access the generator on motor homes equipped with an air powered generator slide tray:
1. Make sure there is an unobstructed path at least 3 feet forward of the motor home.
2. Verify that the air gauges on the chassis dash panel show at least 90 pounds of air
pressure. If necessary, turn “on” the chassis engine and build up air pressure.
3. Turn “off” the chassis engine once proper air pressure is reached.
4. Turn the chassis ignition key to the “on” position (engine not running) and set the
parking brake. Place a note reading “DO NOT TURN OFF IGNITION KEY” over the
entire ignition switch.

Electrical Systems
5. Toggle the “Generator Slide” switch (located inside the front driver side fender/fuse
compartment) to the “on” position. The generator will automatically extend.
6. Reverse the above process to automatically retract the generator.
NOTE: Turning “off” either the chassis ignition key or the generator
slide switch will automatically retract the generator. Keep clear of the
generator and slide mechanism during retraction.
NOTE: Do not use the generator slide tray for storage
For additional information consult your independent Entegra Coach dealer or contact
Entegra Coach Customer Service.
Solar Panel (if so equipped)
Solar panel(s) automatically produce 12-volt DC electricity when exposed to direct sunlight.
Energy produced by the solar panel(s) is used to trickle charge the house auxiliary batteries.
There are no user selectable controls for the solar panel(s).
Solar Panel Control

(location may vary by model)
Maintenance
Clean the solar panel upper surface regularly using a soft cloth or sponge with water and
a mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might damage the
panels upper translucent surface.
Replacing Light Bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb
with your bare fingers. The skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot,
the vapor will condense on the reflector and it will dim the surface.
Replacement light bulbs must be of the type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp fixture.
Use of incorrectly sized bulbs can overload lam circuits and may create a fire hazard by
overheating the fixture.

Diesel Fuel & Fill

For your protection and others, it is critical to understand the danger associated with fuel.
Take time to become educated about the property of fuel and use it safely.

Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled.
If you have further questions, consult your dealer or Customer Service for
assistance.
Always shut OFF the vehicle engine while refueling.
Do not bring or store fuel or other flammable liquids inside the motor
home because a fire or explosion may result.
Before refueling, extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames.
Before refueling, always turn OFF all spark producing appliances (i.e.,
water heaters, furnaces, etc.).
Do not overfill the fuel tank(s). The pressure in an overfilled fuel tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and/or fire.
Fuel spills represent a serious fire hazard, and should be cleaned up
immediately.
Never restart an engine or re-light any pilot lights while raw fuel is
present.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Fuel selection
Use diesel fuel only. Remember the diesel generator (if so equipped) is also fueled by the
same system used to fuel the motor home chassis engine. Consider the fuel requirements
of the diesel generator (if so equipped) when making a decision on the type of fuel to use.
DEF Fluid
Diesel engines (since 2010) require the use of DEF fluid (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) to aid in
burning particulate matter in the exhaust and reduce emissions to nitrogen and water. This
DEF fluid is kept in a separate heated tank and is required for the normal operation of the
diesel engine. DEF tank is typically located in one of the exterior compartments and the tank
will have a blue cap with “DEF” written on it. There will be a series of warnings at the dash
before running out of DEF fluid. If the vehicle is allowed to run out of DEF fluid, engine
power is intentionally reduced and speed will be limited to 5 MPH until the tank is re-filled.
NOTE: If your motor home is equipped with a diesel generator,

check the diesel generator and chassis manufacturer’s information
to help you determine the type of diesel fuel best suited for this dual
application.


Fuel spills represent a serious fire hazard, and should be cleaned up
immediately. Never restart an engine or re-light any pilot lights while raw
fuel is present.

If you spill fuel on the motor home, clean it up immediately. Fuel can dull or
soften paint and damage other surfaces
NOTE: Your motor home is equipped with an Aqua Hot Heating

System. This system is fueled from the chassis diesel tank(s). The
fuel consumption of this system should be considered when planning
your fuel supply to insure you will have adequate fuel to run your
system. The fuel feed for the Aqua Hot system is positioned in the
fuel tank so that when the fuel supply for the system is exhausted,
you will still have fuel remaining to operate your motor home.
For more information on this system, refer to Plumbing Systems in this manual, or to the
Aqua Hot owner’s manual supplied in your Owner’s Portfolio.
Exhaust Gas Fumes

Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a
potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless.

If you are in a parked motor home with either the engine running or the
generator running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into the
motor home.
To avoid breathing exhaust gases, follow these precautions:

Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as a closed garage, any longer than needed
to move your motor home in or out of the area.
Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped) to
avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the motor home.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the passenger compartment, have the
86
cause determined and corrected as soon as possible.

If you must drive under these circumstances, close all the windows, and adjust the heating
or cooling system to force outside air into the motor home (set the blower on high speed).
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the motor home is a properly
maintained ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper
operation of the motor home ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of
snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times.
Maintenance
It is recommended that the exhaust system and vehicle body be inspected by a qualified
motor home service center:
Each time the engine is ready for an oil change.
Whenever a change in the sound of the exhaust is noticed.
Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow for proper operation of the motor home ventilation system, keep the ventilation
inlet grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times.
For more information refer to your Chassis Guide.

Notes:
88
Plumbing System
There are two different water systems in your recreation vehicle:

The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, fresh water connections,
water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, faucets, tub/
shower, and water purification system (if so equipped).
The waste water system consists of the waste water holding tank, sewage holding tank,
drains and toilet.
Plumbing System Maintenance
Check all fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before vehicle
storage as part of your normal maintenance:
Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (optional) and sink connections
(including drain baskets or filters).
Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh water system.
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system
odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors.
The fresh water (or potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winterization
to take care of all the components within the plumbing system and help discourage the
growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the water supply.
Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that
indicate the locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drain valves may
be located inside the vehicle (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find the drain
corresponding location).
Monitor Panel
The monitor panel is located in the bathroom and at the universal docking (utility) center.
Messages to the display board are received through sensors in the tanks, the electrical system
and individual components. The monitor panel requires 12-volt DC power to function. The
monitor panel will also operate the pump and the LP water heater (if so equipped).

Plumbing System
To read a water or sewer tank level:

1. Press and release the button for the tank to be checked. The tank level (percent) will
show on the LED display. If no other button is pressed, the display will shut off after
approximately 5 seconds. If another button (including BATT or LPG) is pressed before
the 5 second time is up, the display will immediately switch to show the new level or
voltage. The 5 second timeout is restarted every time a different button is pressed.
2. To continuously display a reading, press and release the desired button, and then press
the same button a second time. When the button is released, the display will be in the
hold mode which is indicated by the decimal point on the right side turning on. While
the display is in the hold mode it will recheck the level once per second allowing the
user to watch the level change while the tank is being filled or drained. The display will
automatically shut off after 5 minutes in hold mode. To end the hold mode before the 5
minutes is up, press any tank button and the display will shut off.
To read the LPG tank level:
1. Press the LPG button and release it. The display will show the level in percent on the
LED display. If no other button is pressed, the display shut off after approximately 5
seconds.
2. If the LPG button is pressed again, a new reading will be obtained and displayed and
the 5 second timer will be restarted. If the button is held down, the existing reading
is held for as long as the button is pressed. The display will shut off approximately 5
seconds after the button is released.
3. If another button is pressed before the 5 second time is up, the display will immediately
switch to showing the new level or voltage. The 5 second timeout is restarted every
time a button is pressed.
4. There is no hold mode for the LPG level. The LPG tank level does not change fast
enough to justify the use of the hold function, except during filling of the tank. The
gauge should not be used as a full tank shutoff indicator since the LPG sender in the
tank is not reliable or accurate enough to be used as a safe indicator of a full tank.
To read the battery voltage:
1. Press the BATT button and release it, the display will show the battery voltage on the
LED display.
2. If no other button is pressed, the display will shut down after about 5 approximately
seconds. If the BATTERY button is held down, the display will continuously recheck
the voltage and show the updated value. The reading may flicker back and forth
between two values, for example, 12.6 and 12.7 volts. This is normal behavior for a
digital voltage display.
3. If another button is pressed before the 5 second time is up, the display will immediately
switch to showing the value for the new button. The 5 second timeout is restarted every
time a button is pressed.
4. There is no hold mode for the battery voltage.
Fresh Water Holding Tank
There may be several ways to fill the fresh water tank depending on the model. For details
of each method, refer to the Fresh Water Connections or the Utility Center (if so equipped)
sections. There are plastic overflow tubes plumbed into the fresh water holding tank which
allow water to flow out of the water tank (see City Water Fill). Occasionally, you may see
90
Plumbing System
water coming from the overflow tubes when the fresh water holding tank is filled. This is
normal and can be a result of the recreation vehicle being parked on an incline, or the motion
caused by starting or stopping during travel.

Be careful not to overfill the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize
the tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO
NOT leave the tank unattended while filling.

Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overflow tubes in any way.
Enough water pressure can build up during the filling process to damage the
plumbing system if the overflow tubes are obstructed.
12-volt Water Pump & Water Pump Switches

You will find two water pump switches in your motor home: one on the interior monitor
panel and one on the exterior monitor panel. They are three-way electric switches and will
control the pump from either switch.
Once activated, the water pump (also known as the demand pump) will self-prime, and
provide water. The water pump continues to run until maximum pressure is achieved and
shut off. The water pump will automatically re-start when it senses a drop in the water
pressure. Some cycling may occur, depending on the volume of water being released.
The water pump is engineered with a check valve to prevent water from back flowing into
the fresh water supply tank.
Dry camping
When you want to use water in your motor home, and the motor home is not hooked up to
city water, you will need sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump.
Maintenance
Normal pump maintenance is all that is needed: Checking and cleaning of the strainer, normal
sanitizing and winterizing and occasionally checking all plumbing hardware and fittings for
tightness. Lack of sanitizing is the number one reason for premature pump failure and poor
performance over time. Lack of sanitizing will cause scale build-up on the diaphragm and
valves, causing low flow and leak back [occasional pump cycling with no faucets open or
tank filling up when hooked up to city water].
Refer to the 12-volt water pump manufacturer’s information.
NOTE: The water pump switch should be in the OFF position when
the motor home is left unattended for any amount of time.

Plumbing System
Water Pressure Regulator (customer Supplied)

Excessive pressure from the water supply source may be encountered in some parks,
especially in mountain regions when using the fresh water inlet or black tank flush. Water
pressure regulators are available to protect your recreation vehicles plumbing system against
such high pressure.

A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the
plumbing system or components.To prevent damage when using the city water
connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended.
Universal Docking Center

The motor home has an exterior utility center that allows you to access the plumbing system
functions at one central location. It contains the following:
1. Canister water filter
2. Outside shower
3. Outside shower quick disconnect hose
4. Monitor panel with lighted pump switch
5. Black and grey tank electric drain valves
6. Macerator ON/OFF switch
7. Utility center light switch

indicator light located on the diesel-burner switch. Allow 10-20 minutes for the Aqua-Hot
System to reach operating temperature. Please note that the diesel-burner is the primary
heat source for heating both the interior and the domestic hot water (such as when cool
ambient temperatures exist and/or when there is a high demand for domestic hot water).
Electric Heating Element:
Turn the electric element switch ON. This procedure will activate the 120 Volt-AC electric
heating element and the indicator light located on the electric element switch. Allow 1-2
hours for the Aqua-Hot System to reach operating temperature.
NOTE: The motor home must be connected to shore power, or the

generator must be running, in order to activate the electric heating
element. The electric heating element is a secondary heat source
for heating both the interior and the domestic hot water during
low heating demand situations (such as when moderate ambient
temperatures exist and/or when there is a low demand for domestic
hot water).
98
Plumbing System
Aqua Hot Switch
NOTE: Both the diesel-burner and the electric heating element

are thermostatically controlled. Either, or both, heating sources will
automatically maintain the temperature of the Aqua-Hot’s antifreeze
and water heating solution between approximately 160°F and 190°F
(±5). Therefore, to heat the motor home/domestic hot water, simply
choose the desired heat source(s) and leave the switch(es) (i.e.,
diesel-burner and/or electric element) ON.
Zone Thermostat Operation

Interior Room Thermostat:
Set each zone on the Comfort Control Center thermostat to the desired temperature.
Then, whenever a zone “calls for heat,” the Aqua-Hot’s circulation pump and interior heat
exchanger fans will be activated. These devices, together, will supply warmth and comfort
to each interior heating zone. The Aqua-Hot must be at operating temperature in order
for the zones to function. For more information please see the “Comfort Control Center”
explanation of this section.
Fresh Water Tank Thermostat:
Adjust the thermostat for bay heating to a minimum of 40°F. This will prevent freezing of
the domestic water storage system.
Using the Domestic Hot Water System
When the Aqua-Hot is at operating temperature, the domestic water is automatically heated
as it is being used. Because the Aqua-Hot does not store any hot water, simply open any hot
water faucet, and a continuous supply of domestic hot water will be present within a few
seconds. This hot water feature is continuous and is accomplished by the Aqua-Hot’s hot
water heating system. The diesel-burner switch on the interior switch panel must be ON in
order to obtain a continuous supply of hot water (e.g., during showers); you may have to also
activate the electric element switch for maximum hot water capacity. (Reference Figure 6
of the Aqua-Hot Owner’s Manual).

Plumbing System
NOTE: The Aqua-Hot’s “Domestic Water Priority System” disables

the interior zone heating fans and the zone circulation pumps
whenever domestic hot water is being used on a continuous basis
(e.g., during showers). Once the demand for continuous domestic
hot water ceases, the Aqua-Hot will enable the fans and the pumps to
operate and provide heat to the heating zones.
NOTE: Please see the Aqua-Hot Owners Manual for detailed

instructions for winterization of the Aqua-Hot appliance.
Maintenance (Aqua-Hot)
Monthly Maintenance

DO NOT operate the diesel-burner and/or the electric heating element without
the antifreeze and water heating solution in the Aqua-Hot’s boiler tank; doing
so will cause serious damage to the heater. Propylene Glycol that is “Generally
Recognized As Safe” by the FDA must be utilized for the antifreeze and water
heating solution.
NOTE: For additional information regarding this propylene glycol-

based, boiler-type antifreeze that has been “Generally Recognized
As Safe” by the FDA, please reference the Appendices of the
Aqua-Hot Owner’s Manual, contact the Aqua-Hot Heating Systems
Technical Support Department at 1-800-685-4298, or visit the Web
site at www.aqua-hot.com.

When the Aqua-Hot is at maximum operating temperature, the coolant will
be very HOT! If the Aqua-Hot’s heating system is accessed, scalding by hot
vapor or coolant could result! Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect all
power supplies!
Check the Aqua-Hot’s antifreeze and water heating solution to ensure that it is at the proper
level. This can be accomplished by visually checking the coolant level in the Aqua-Hot’s
expansion tank. Reference Aqua-Hot owner’s manual.
100
Plumbing System
Please note that the coolant level should be checked only when the Aqua-Hot is at maximum
operating temperature (i.e., immediately after the diesel-burner cycles OFF). When the
Aqua-Hot is at maximum operating temperature, the antifreeze and water heating solution
should be at the level marked “HOT” on the expansion tank.
Replenishing the Antifreeze and Water Heating Solution:
If the antifreeze and water heating solution needs replenishing, remove the expansion
tank’s cap and fill the expansion tank to the “HOT” level mark. When refilling, open the
air release valve located on the expansion tank connection to release air pockets (reference
Figure 8 of the Aqua-Hot Owner’s Manual). Hold the valve open until all air is released.
If necessary, refill the expansion tank again. Be sure the valve is closed when finished by
hand-tightening. Reference Appendices A through C of the Aqua-Hot Owner’s Manual to
determine the correct ratio of antifreeze to water, the proper type of antifreeze, and the water
quality recommendations for the Aqua-Hot Hydronic Heating System’s antifreeze and water
heating solution.
Annual Maintenance
To keep the Aqua-Hot running smoothly, it is ideal to have the diesel-burner tuned-up
annually. A tune-up should consist of a new fuel nozzle and fuel filter (reference Figure 9
of the Aqua-Hot Owner’s Manual). To ensure maximum diesel-burner performance, always
use the recommended fuel nozzle and fuel filter when replacing these parts.
Reference the Aqua-Hot’s service and parts manual for spare parts information and detailed
replacement instructions. Contact the Aqua-Hot Heating Systems Technical Support
Department at 1-800-685-4298 for assistance or to locate the nearest Aqua-Hot Service
Center or visit the web site at www.aqua-hot.com.
Winterization
NOTE: The Aqua-Hot can continue to be used for interior zone

heating once the domestic water heating system has been drained
and winterized.

Not winterizing the Aqua-Hot when freezing temperatures are present will
result in serious damage to the Aqua-Hot’s domestic water heating system.

Electronic Controller Diagnostic
Low Tank-Level Cutoff Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate RED when either the 120 Volt-AC electric heating
element and/or diesel-burner have automatically shut down due to a low antifreeze and
water heating solution level inside the Aqua-Hot’s boiler tank. This fault will automatically
reset when the low level condition is corrected.
Low Battery Voltage Fault Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate RED and the diesel-burner will shut down whenever the
12 Volt-DC voltage level is too low for the Aqua-Hot to operate properly. This fault must
be manually reset after the voltage level has been restored to the 12 Volt-DC battery system.
Reference the Low Voltage information below.
Low Voltage Fault Indicator Light and Reset Button
The Aqua-Hot’s electronic controller must be manually reset whenever the low battery
voltage fault indicator light has been activated. The electronic controller can be reset by
turning OFF the diesel-burner switch on the interior switch panel for approximately 30
seconds, then turning the switch back ON or by pressing the “Low Voltage Reset” button
located on the electronic controller (use a thin, straight, nonmetallic object to access the reset
button through the small hole in the faceplate).
Overload Fault Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate RED whenever one of the following conditions have
occurred:
1. The Aqua-Hot is off due to an electrical overload (i.e., short) in the main 12 Volt-DC
power supply circuitry.
2. The Aqua-Hot is off due to a combination of high electrical 12 Volt-DC power loads and
a high surface temperature of the electronic controller. The Aqua-Hot will automatically
restart once the electrical overload (i.e., short) and/or high-heat condition is corrected.
Heating Zones Status Indicator Lights
These five indicator lights (separately) will illuminate GREEN whenever a zone thermostat,
for each particular zone, is calling for heat. The GREEN indicator lights also indicate that
12 Volt-DC power is being supplied to the particular interior heating zone’s heat exchangers
(i.e., fan motors). If any of the five indicator lights illuminate RED, it indicates that an
electrical overload condition (i.e., short) has occurred in a particular heating zone’s circuitry.

Plumbing System
NOTE: The low temp cutoff light must be illuminated and heater
must be up to operating temperature. A short in either a heating
zone’s interior room thermostat or a heating zone’s heat exchanger
circuit will cause the indicator light to illuminate RED.
Pumps #1, #2, and #3 Indicator Lights

These indicator lights (separately) will illuminate GREEN whenever a circulation pump is
operating. If any of the three indicator lights illuminate RED, it indicates that an electrical
overload condition (i.e., short) has occurred in the particular component’s circuitry.
NOTE: Zone circulation pumps #1 and #2 are activated whenever

a zone thermostat calls for heat. The #3 boiler tank stir pump is ac-
tivated whenever the domestic water is being used on a continuous
basis or the heater is not up to operating temperature.
Engine Preheat Pump Indicator Light

This indicator light will illuminate GREEN whenever the engine preheat circulation pump is
operating. Please note that this light will only be active if the engine preheat switch is ON in
conjunction with either the diesel-burner and/or the electric element switch. If this indicator
light illuminates RED, it indicates an electrical overload condition (i.e., short) has occurred
in this particular component’s circuitry.
NOTE: The Aqua-Hot must be up to operating temperature and the

Low Temp Cutoff Light must be illuminated. Heating Status
Indicator Light: This indicator light will illuminate GREEN when-
ever the Aqua-Hot’s VDC/VAC control thermostat is calling for heat,
allowing the antifreeze and water heating solution in the Aqua-Hot’s
boiler tank to be heated by either the diesel-burner and/or the electric
heating Element.
When this indicator light is off, no heat is being supplied to the Aqua-Hot’s boiler tank by
either of these two heat sources.
104
Plumbing System
NOTE: The Aqua-Hot’s VDC/VAC Control Thermostat will automati-

cally activate the diesel-burner and/or the electric heating element
only if the diesel-burner and/or electric element switch is in the ON
position.
Electric Heating Element Status Indicator Light

This indicator light will illuminate GREEN whenever the Aqua- Hot’s electric heating
element is operating and providing heat to the Aqua-Hot’s boiler tank. Please note that this
light will only be active if the electric element switch is in the ON position. If this indicator
light illuminates RED, it indicates an electrical overload condition (i.e., short) has occurred
in the electric heating element’s 12 Volt-DC powered circuitry.
Antifreeze Types and Usage
The following information addresses the necessary usage of a propylene glycol based
“boiler” type antifreeze in the Aqua-Hot. Propylene glycol is a safer alternative to the
more toxic ethylene glycol antifreeze; however, as mandated by IAPMO (International
Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials), only those propylene glycol based
“boiler” type antifreezes deemed “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) by the FDA
should be utilized.
Because of the significant impact various types of antifreeze can have on a hydronic heating
system, including the level of safety provided, it has been recognized that there is a need
to provide an explanation regarding two additional prominent types of antifreeze/coolant
available.
The following information should be utilized as an educational means of ensuring that the
proper type of propylene glycol based antifreeze is selected.
RV & Marine Antifreeze
These types of propylene glycol based antifreeze products are formulated specifically for
“winterizing” applications only. Although RV & Marine antifreeze is often “Generally
Recognized as Safe” by the FDA, it should never be used in the Aqua-Hot’s Hydronic
Heating System. This type of antifreeze is not formulated to transfer heat, which is essential
to the Aqua-Hot’s functionality and does not contain rust inhibitors. Please note, however,
that RV & Marine antifreeze can be utilized to winterize the Aqua-Hot’s Domestic Water
Heating System.
Automotive Antifreeze/Coolant
These types of propylene glycol based antifreeze products are formulated specifically to
protect automotive engines against corrosion, freezing temperatures, and overheating. They
also have excellent heat transfer and thermal conductivity characteristics. Although these
types of antifreeze products are considered less toxic and safer than ethylene glycol for
people, pets, and the environment, they are not “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS)
rated by the FDA. Therefore, they must be marked with a “harmful if swallowed” warning.
This additional warning is required because these types of antifreeze products contain high
levels of chemical rust inhibitors.
Due to their potentially hazardous properties, they should never be used in the Aqua-Hot’s
Hydronic Heating System.

Plumbing System
HEATING
The Aqua-Hot system serves as the Water Heater and a Hot Water Heating System for
your motor home.
Water Heater
For hot water use, select and turn on one of the heating modes on the Aqua-Hot switch located
in the bathroom of the motor home. Be sure there is power to the Aqua-Hot appliance and
water in the system. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to heat the water for your needs.
To run water at the faucets, make sure the 12 volt pump is on or the city water connection is
hooked up and the supply faucet is in the on position.
Heating your motor home
Comfort Control Center
To heat the motor home, set the desired temperature on the Comfort Control Center
thermostat and select the mode you wish to use on the Aqua-Hot control switch.
To determine which mode you wish to use on the Aqua-Hot, consider that the Diesel Burner
will provide more BTUs for heating in colder weather while the electric can warm the unit
in cool temperatures that require less demand for heat. The Engine Preheat mode will also
circulate hot water through the system and can be used to heat your motor home while
in transit. To utilize this heat mode, simply turn on the CCC (Comfort Control Center)
thermostat and set the furnace Mode to the temperature you desire. In cold weather, you
may need to use the Diesel Burner mode to bring the heating temperature up to heating
temperature.
The Engine Preheat mode will normally keep the motor home at a comfortable temperature.
Note that, in extreme cold temperatures, the Diesel Burner may be needed to supplement
heating of the antifreeze heating solution.
To set and operate the thermostat, move the switch at the bottom of the thermostat to the ON
position. Use the Zone button to move from zone to zone to set the desired mode temperature.
The Mode button will toggle to the function needed in that zone, (AC, heat pump, fan,
and furnace). At the function you desire, use the Up and Down buttons to set the desired
temperature for the furnace and AC modes. The speed of the fan is controlled by the fan
button on the CCC .
The number of zones is determined by the number of roof air conditioners, two ACs will
indicate two zones, and three ACs will indicate there are three zones available on the
thermostat. A thermostat indicating two zones will control two separate areas of the unit.
Zone one will control the front of the unit, both living room and kitchen area. Zone two will
control the bathroom and the bedroom, or the rear of the unit. If the unit is equipped with
optional in floor heating, a wall thermostat will control the floor heat function.
If there are three zones shown in the thermostat, zone two will control the in floor heat and
106
Plumbing System
the center roof air conditioner. Zone one will control the front of the unit and zone three will
control the back end of the unit.
Outside Shower & Courtesy Light

A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water is available for washing or rinsing
in the utility center. The coiled hose for the shower has a quick connect fitting that attaches
between the shower control knobs. Be sure the 12 volt power for the water pump is on, or
the city water connector has water available to it.
Water should always be turned off using the hot / cold control knobs rather than turning
off the water with the lever on the shower head. Turning off the water with the shower
head lever can create a condition where the hot and cold water will mix through the outside
shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature of the hot water. It can appear as though
the hot water heater is not working properly.
After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, replace it in the exterior
universal docking center.
NOTE: Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out;
this is not a leak but performs as intended.
The courtesy light is operated with a rocker switch located on the utility center panel.
Faucets
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to
be bled out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.

Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly
therefore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the water
temperature before showering or washing.
Bathroom Shower
Your shower facilities in the motor home function similar to those in your home. The used
water will drain through the plumbing pipes into the grey water holding tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.

Plumbing System
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water
system. The shower head may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is a normal
function and does not indicate a leak or defect.

Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly
therefore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the water
temperature before showering or washing.
NOTE: Unlike your home, the motor home does not contain a water
pressure balance valve. If someone is using the shower, it is recom-
mended that the fresh water system NOT BE USED until they are
finished.
Maintenance
Use mild dish soap and water to clean the fixtures. Never use harsh chemicals or sprays. A
mild solution of vinegar and water works well to remove hard water spots and stains from
the sink or shower fixtures.
Draining The Fresh Water System
To drain the fresh water holding tank and supply lines:
1. Make sure the “city water / fresh tank fill valve” is set to NORMAL.
2. Make sure the “winterize intake valve” is set to NORMAL.
3. Make sure your “water heater bypass” valve is set to NORMAL.
4. Open the “fresh tank drain.”
5. Open the “low point drains.”
6. Turn on the outside shower faucet.
7. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to run as needed.
8. Open all kitchen and bath faucets.
9. Operate the toilet flush lever until water stops flowing.
When you are finished draining the fresh water system, reverse steps 4-9 and dump the grey
and black water holding tanks.
Sanitizing The Plumbing System
When to sanitize
When your motor home is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
How to sanitize
108
Plumbing System
1. Turn the Aqua Hot water heater OFF. Level the motor home and drain the fresh water
system (see Draining the Fresh Water System).
2. Close all low point drains, including the drains for hot/cold water lines behind the large
panel on the utility center (Fig. 1).
3. Turn water supply OFF to canister water filter (Fig 2). The valve is located behind
the large utility center panel. Remove the filter cartridge from the water purification
system canister (Fig. 3), re-attach the empty canister. See Water Purification System
for additional information on removing the filters. Replace the small cartridge filter
(Fig. 3) with the (blue) bypass tube provided. Turn the water supply valve (Fig 2) ON.
Chlorine should be kept out of these filters (water filters are located at the outside
utility center)
NOTE: Filters should be replaced at the beginning of the camping

season or if they have come into contact with contaminated water.
4. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite
solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of water in a container. Prepare one gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. This will result in a residual chlorine
concentration of 50 ppm in the water system. If a 100 ppm concentration is required as
discussed in Step 15, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon of water to prepare
the chlorine solution. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of

Plumbing System
tank capacity.
5. Locate the clear hose behind the large utility center panel (Fig. 4) and place the end of
the clear hose into a container holding the chlorine solution.
6. Turn the city water valve (Fig. 3) to the horizontal (fill tank) position (valve may be
black or white).
7. Turn valve A (Fig. 5) so the arm is horizontal & pointing away from the clear hose.
Turn valve B so the arm points to the left. Valves A & B are located behind the large
panel on the outside utility center.
8. Turn the water pump ON (Fig. 3). The pump switch is typically located on the tank
monitor panel at the top center of the utility center. Make sure all faucets (including the
outside shower) are OFF. Make sure all drain valves are closed.
9. The chlorine solution in the container will now be drawn into the fresh water tank.
Once all the solution has been drawn out of the container, turn the pump OFF. To aid in
siphoning place the container on a flat surface approximately 2 feet above the ground.
10. Turn valve A (Fig. 5) so it points down. Turn valve B so it points straight up.
11. Leave the city water valve in the horizontal (fill tank) position.
12. Attach a pressurized water source to the long hose (Fig. 3) on the hose reel. The short
hose (Fig. 3) coming out of the utility center should attach to the fresh water connection
inlet.
13. Turn on the pressurized water source and fill the tank with fresh water.
14. When tank is full, shut off pressurized water source, disconnect water source from the
hose reel, press and hold the HOSE REEL REWIND switch (Fig. 3) to retract the hose
back onto the reel (release the switch when the end of the hose gets to the panel).
15. Place the city water valve to the vertical (city water) position.
16. At the cartridge filter location on the utility panel (Fig. 3), turn OFF the drinking water
valve (Fig 6). This prevents sanitizer from entering the refrigerator and the drinking
faucet at the kitchen sink (valve is shown OFF in Fig 6).
17. Bypass the Aqua Hot water heater. Sanitizer
must be kept out of the Aqua Hot water heater.
Set the bypass valves to the Bypass position.
(Two supply valves OFF, middle valve ON).
The 3 black valves are located with the Aqua
Hot water heater. Turn the pump switch ON.
18. Open the hot water line faucets one at a time
(kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside shower)
until water begins to flow continuously and
a chlorine smell is noticeable. Close the hot
water faucets. NOTE: the showerhead must
be connected to the outside shower.
19. Open the cold water line faucets one at a time (kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside
shower) until water begins to flow continuously and a chlorine smell is noticeable. Close
the cold water faucets. When finished turn the pump OFF. NOTE: the showerhead
must be connected to the outside shower.
20. Let the solution remain in the system for at least four hours when disinfecting with 50
PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 PPM chlorine
110
Plumbing System
concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.
21. For complete fresh water tank sanitization, driving your motor home for a short distance
will allow the sanitizing solution to splash around all sides of the tank.
22. After the required sanitization period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water
system (see Draining the Fresh Water System).
23. Rinse the container and the clear hose (used to pump the solution into the water system)
with fresh water.
24. Fill the fresh water tank. Verify that the city water valve is in the horizontal (fill tank)
position (Fig. 3). Short hose is attached to the fresh water connection inlet (See Fresh
Water Connections). Attach the long hose (on the reel) to a pressurized fresh water
source. Turn water source ON, and fill the fresh water tank until it is full (pump is not
used for this).
25. Turn water source OFF. Set the city water valve back to the vertical (city water)
position. Turn water source ON. Open all faucets (including outside shower) to flush
all the water lines with fresh water (pump is not used for this). Water heater bypass
should still be ON (to prevent water from entering the water heater).
26. Drain the fresh water system once again (see Draining the Fresh Water System). Refill
the fresh water tank with potable water once again. Turn the water heater bypass valves
to the normal position (hot & cold supply valves ON, middle valve OFF) to allow water
into the Aqua Hot water heater. Detach the outside shower hose.
NOTE: If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water

system with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons
of clean water. Make sure the filter cartridge from the water purifica-
tion system canister is removed, the small cartridge water filter is
bypassed, the valve (Fig. 6) at the water filter is OFF, and the Aqua
Hot water heater is bypassed before flushing the system with the
vinegar solution.
Re-flush the system as necessary, and only after the water lines are flushed of the vinegar
solution, replace the water filters, turn the drinking water valve (Fig 6) back ON, and set
the Aqua Hot bypass valves back to the normal position (hot & cold supply valves ON and
middle valve OFF).
Winterizing The Plumbing System
Preparing your motor home for colder weather or storage is very important for most states
and Canada. Failure to prepare your motor home may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze. No commodity or product should be added to the fresh water system to
ensure freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.
Winterizing the Aqua-Hot system
Requires RV antifreeze in the potable water chamber to insure the heating coil is protected
from freeze damage. Refer to the following winterizing instructions, and the Aqua-Hot
owner’s manual for details.

Plumbing System
For your convenience, the motor home antifreeze winterizing feature is located in the outside
utility center.
When to winterize
At the end of the camping season.
When the motor home will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at, or below, 32°F
(0°C).
NOTE: Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of
the “Motorized Limited Warranty” applicable to the motor home.
112
Plumbing System

Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer antifreeze
(methanol) are poisonous. Never use these products in your fresh water
system. These products are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed. Use only
RV antifreeze.
The preferred method for winterizing your motor home is to use RV antifreeze in the
plumbing system.

Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the
closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low point
drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have
questions, consult with your RV dealer.
Winterizing with antifreeze

This method adds antifreeze to the water lines for freeze protection for temperatures 32°F
(0°C) and below. A second person will make this job easier.

If the motorhome is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the
demand (power) system with RV antifreeze must be used in the motorhome
plumbing system as directed in this manual. (this would include appliances
like the washer, dishwasher and the residential refrigerator)
1. Close all the faucets in the coach (including outside shower). Attach the shower hose
to the outside shower quick connector.
2. Close the fresh water tank drain and all other low point drains. Include the hot/cold
water line drain valves behind the utility center removable panel. (Fig. 2).
3. The plastic cap should be put back on the long hose that is rolled up on the hose reel.
4. The City Water valve should be set to the vertical (city water) position (Fig. 3).
5. Tankless water heater (Aqua Hot) bypass valves should be in the normal position (as
shown in Fig. 7). The (3) black valves are located with the Aqua Hot water heater.
Aqua Hot requires antifreeze for proper winterizing.
6. Place the clear hose from the utility center (Fig. 4) into a container of RV antifreeze
(requires about 2 gallons of RV antifreeze). The clear hose is typically located behind
the large panel on the utility center. The 3 dashed circles in (Fig 3) indicate items that
are behind the utility center panel.
7. Valves A and B (Fig. 5) are located behind the large panel on the utility center. Set
valve “A” so it is horizontal and pointing away from the clear hose. Turn valve “B” so

Plumbing System
it is pointing to the left.

8. Turn the water pump ON (Fig. 3) and antifreeze will be drawn out of the container and
into the water lines as each fixture is opened in the motorhome. To aid siphoning, place
the antifreeze container on a flat surface approximately 2 feet off the ground.
The residential refrigerator water line MUST be winterized with antifreeze:
Remove the water filter from inside the refrigerator and discard it. Replace it at the
beginning of next camping season.
When putting antifreeze into the water lines, open the blue
drinking water filter shutoff valve (Fig 6) to allow antifreeze into
the refrigerator water line.
If equipped with a low point drain for the refrigerator water line
(typically located under the kitchen slideout) this drain should be
opened until antifreeze runs out of it, then turn the drain off.Hold a
container on the drinking water dispenser paddle of the refrigerator
until antifreeze runs out of the dispenser. The reservoir inside the
refrigerator must fill with antifreeze, so it may take 3 large cups
full before antifreeze will appear at the dispenser. Remove the container.
Hold the test switch (Fig 8) on the icemaker until antifreeze enters the icemaker.
Release the test switch. To verify antifreeze is in the icemaker run it through a cycle or
two to verify the ice cubes come out pink.
Turn on the separate drinking water faucet at the kitchen sink, until antifreeze runs out.
Turn the faucet OFF.
Turn the blue drinking water filter shutoff valve OFF at the utility center (Fig. 6).
Unplug the refrigerator and prop open the doors to prevent odors.
9. Select a faucet in the coach. Open the cold faucet until antifreeze comes out, and then
turn it off. Open the hot water faucet until antifreeze comes out, and then turn it off.
Repeat this for every hot/cold faucet in the coach (lavatory, bathtub/shower, kitchen
sink and outside shower). The shower hose must be connected to the outside shower.
10. Flush the toilet a couple of times until you see antifreeze in the bowl.
Washing Machine (if so equipped)
With the clear tube still in the container of antifreeze at the utility center and pump ON:
Set the washing machine selector to QUICK WASH, set the temperature to WARM,
and press START. The washer should begin trying to fill washer with water.
The antifreeze will begin to run into the drum.
Press the Cancel/Drain button one time to stop
the washer. Open the drawer (Fig. 9) there should
be antifreeze in it.
Pour several more cups of RV antifreeze in the
drum.
Press and hold the Cancel/Drain button until
the washer begins a drain cycle. It will drain
the antifreeze out of the drum and into the drain
pump. When antifreeze leaves the drum, press the
Cancel/Drain button one time to stop it. Set machine selector knob to OFF.
114
Plumbing System
Dishwasher (if so equipped)

With the clear tube still in the container of antifreeze at the utility center and pump ON:
Use the dishwasher remote control to unlock the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher and
select Rinse.
Close the dishwasher and the rinse cycle should begin. This will bring some antifreeze
through the lines, and into the dishwasher.
Pause the dishwasher with the remote (wait for 3 beeps), open the dishwasher and add
several cups of antifreeze into the tub.
Close the dishwasher, re-start it with the remote. Press and hold the button on the
remote until you hear a quick double beep. The dishwasher will drain the antifreeze
into the pump assembly.
Macerator Toilet (if so equipped)
With the clear tube still in the container of antifreeze at the
utility center and pump ON:
Press the Normal Flush button (Fig 10) one time.
This will bring antifreeze through the water line, and
into the toilet bowl.
Add a couple cups of antifreeze into the toilet bowl.
Press both “FLUSH” buttons simultaneously and
release. This empties the bowl, and leaves the drain
valve open.
Completing the Winterizing with antifreeze
11. After all of the water lines/appliances have been winterized, turn the pump OFF and
disconnect the shower hose from the outside shower.
12. Set valve “A” so it points straight down. Set valve “B” so it is pointing straight up (Fig.
5). Valves are located behind the large panel on the utility center.
13. Add a cup of antifreeze in all the drain p-traps.
14. Remove the clear hose from the container of RV antifreeze and clean.
NOTE: To reduce the chance of contamination, prevent the clear

hose from coming into contact with the ground or the water fittings.
15. Wipe the antifreeze out of the sinks, shower, and toilet using a soft, dry cloth.
To De-Winterize the fresh water system
Fill the fresh water tank with fresh water and rinse the RV antifreeze from each faucet or
appliance that was protected with the RV antifreeze.

Plumbing System
NOTE: When camping season begins, fill the fresh water tank with
fresh water using a pressurized water source connected to the long
hose rolled up on the reel in the utility center. The short hose should
connect to the City Water Connection inlet on the utility center. The
City Water valve (Fig 3) should be turned so it is vertical. Purge all
the antifreeze out of the water lines by opening all faucets (including
outside shower). Once all the antifreeze is out of the water lines,
replace the canister water filter, and the cartridge drinking water filter
(Fig. 3). Sanitize the system as necessary.
De-Winterize the Residential Refrigerator:

The refrigerator water filter should have been removed and discarded during winterizing.
Thoroughly flush all fresh water lines in the RV with clean water; open the drinking water
blue valve (Fig. 6) and flush the refrigerator water line. (If equipped with a drain valve under
the kitchen slideout, open it and antifreeze will be flushed out.) Hold a container at the water
dispenser on the refrigerator. Operate the dispenser and run water through it until only clear
water comes out then close it. The reservoir inside the refrigerator must fill with water, so it
could take up to 3 large cups full of water to run clear. Press and hold the test button on the
icemaker until clear water comes through the icemaker. Open the drinking water faucet at
the kitchen sink and operate it until the water runs clear. Replace the water filter inside the
refrigerator. Run a batch or two of ice cubes until the ice is clear of antifreeze.
De-Winterize the Washer: Run an empty wash cycle.
De-Winterize the Dishwasher: Run and empty wash cycle
De-Winterize the Macerator Toilet: Press either button to flush and return to normal
condition.
Black/Grey Water System
Water from the sinks and shower (or tub) flow into the gray water (or waste water) holding
tank. Water from the toilet will flow into the sewage (or black water) holding tank. Certain
floor plans may also have the lavatory draining into the waste (black) tank.
Drain pipes
The drain pipes have a “P-trap” installed to help prevent odors from escaping into the motor
home. During travel, water from the P-traps may spill and permit odors into the motor home.
These odors come from food particles decomposing in the tank.
By adding water and using a RV approved deodorizing agent you will dissolve the contents
faster and will keep the drain lines and tanks clean and free flowing. These chemicals are
available at an RV supply store or your dealer.
Vents
Another important part of this system is the vent pipes and vents that release air from the
grey and black water holding tanks. The exterior vent cap is attached to the roof and must be
kept clear of obstructions to perform as intended.
On some models, the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as a “wet vent”
(water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe).
116
Plumbing System
Black/Grey Water Holding Tanks

Dump the gray and black water holding tanks before traveling to avoid carrying unnecessary
weight. The weight of the holding tank contents is not calculated into the motor home cargo
carrying capacity (this extra weight would reduce your available cargo capacity).
Traveling with the tanks full can affect your fuel consumption, and depending on the location
of the tanks, can affect your vehicle handling characteristics.
If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your
vehicle speed until you reach a dumping station.
When connected to the sewer drain line at a campground, keep the “black tank drain” valve
closed until the holding tank is at least ¾ full. This will provide sufficient water to assist in
complete draining of the black water holding tank. Repeat as needed.

Never leave the black tank drain in the open position continuously when
connected to the campground sewer system. Leaving the drain open will
allow the liquid to drain out increasing the potential for a blockage in the tank.
Keeping the drain in the closed position will prevent debris from accumulating
in the tank.
Before using the motor home, or after dumping the grey and black water holding tanks,
always add the proper amount of deodorant to the black water tank to prevent odors and
help break down holding tank contents (unless winterizing). Follow the deodorant bottle or
package instructions. Driving to a disposal site will normally loosen any accumulated waste
debris or solids from the sides of the holding tanks.

Do not add automotive antifreeze or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
detergents, into the holding tanks.Although these products may have a
deodorizing effect, they may damage the plastic and rubber parts of the
plumbing system or the components.
Black & Gray Tank Drains

The gray tank drain and black tank drain (also referred to as dump valves) are typically
located in the exterior utility center. Depending on your model the dump valves will be
operated by either electric rocker switches or by a manual handle. Always drain the black
water holding tank first so the following waste water can help rinse any solids or debris from
the dump outlet and sewer hose.
You can locate many dump stations throughout the United States and Canada in Woodall’s,
Rand McNally Camp Guide, Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA Kampgrounds Camp Guide and
various other publications. Some fuel stations also have dump stations.
Macerator Pump System
Your motor home may be equipped with a macerator pump system used to discharge waste

Plumbing System
from the gray and black waste tank. The system has a 1-1/2 inch diameter flexible hose that
runs from the pump (behind the utility center panel) and attaches to a separate compartment
on the exterior of the motor home (beside the utility center). Not all models are equipped
with external storage compartment. The system when powered on can discharge waste
(uphill if necessary) up to a distance of 150 feet.

Before operating the macerator pump, make sure the external dump hose is
properly attached at the motor home and at the dump station. The hose is
under pressure and therefore waste is discharged under pressure. Failure to
follow instructions can lead to possible injury or property damage. The
use of this system for anything other than intended will void the warranty.
Dump connector Garden hose connection
Open the hose compartment and pull out the 1-1/2 inch flexible hose (which can extend to
21 feet) with the attached dump connector. The dump connector includes two connections:
a small removable cap for attaching a 3/4 inch garden hose, or a larger 3 inch removable cap
which allows it to be attached to the sewer outlet at the dump station.
Using the system:
1. To make drainage easier, level the motorhome.
2. Attach the dump connector to the 3 inch sewer outlet at
the dump station, or to a 3/4 inch garden hose and run the
hose to a dumping location.
3. Open the black drain valve. Depending on your model,
your motor home will be equipped with either an electric
or manual system. Both systems are operated from the
utility center panel.
Electric Dump Valves
Electric system: To open the black tank drain
valve, press the black tank drain switch. To close
the drain valve, press the switch again. Open and
close the grey tank drain valve by pressing the grey
tank switch.
Manual system: To open the black tank drain
valve, pull the T-handle out. Close the black tank
drain by pushing in the T-handle in. Open the
grey tank drain valve by pulling out the grey valve
Macerator power switch
118
Plumbing System
T-handle, and push it in to close the drain valve.

4. Turn the Macerator power switch ON at the utility center panel and the macerator pump
will begin sending waste through the dump hose.
5. When the tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch OFF. Close the black tank
drain valve.
6. Select the gray drain valve.
7. Turn the Macerator Power Switch ON.
8. When tank is empty, turn the macerator power switch OFF. Close the gray tank drain
valve.
9. Unhook the dump connector, rinse it out and replace the hose and connector back into
the storage compartment.
10. The black tank flush inlet can be used with this system also (refer to the Black Tank
Flush section).
Macerator Bypass Valve
There is a macerator bypass valve located in the utility
center in the event of a malfunction with the macerator
pump. This bypass will dump the waste from the tanks
straight down to a 3 inch sewer hose connection under the
motor home.
To operate:
1. Attach a 3 inch sewer hose to the connection under the Macerator Bypass
motor home, and to a sewer outlet at a dump station.
2. Open the desired black / gray (electric or manual) drain valves, one at a time.
3. Pull the manual macerator bypass valve to open and the tanks will empty by gravity.
4. When finished, close the macerator bypass valve, the black / gray dump valves, and
disconnect the sewer hose from under the motor home and at the dump station.
5. The black tank flush can also be used with this bypass valve.
Macerator Emergency Cutoff:
The macerator system includes an emergency cutoff valve that stops the
flow of waste out through the flexible 1-1/2 inch macerator hose. Valve
can be found at the back of the utility center as shown in the photo here.
The handle for the cutoff should be pulled UP for NORMAL operation.
To engage the cutoff, push the valve handle DOWN.
Macerator Cutoff

Black Tank Flush (If So Equipped)

The black tank flush is also called a “no fuss flush.” The black tank flush inlet is located on
the utility center panel. Attach a garden hose (connected to a pressurized fresh water source)
to the black tank flush inlet. The water goes directly into the black water holding tank where
there is a “sprayer” connection. This allows you to rinse the black water holding tank by
removing debris and preventing accumulation. There is a check valve incorporated in the
plumbing lines to prevent back flow.

Plumbing System
Flush the black water tank each time the grey and black water holding tanks are dumped or
as needed: (Refer to Macerator Pump System section)
1. Dump the black water tank (see Gray Tank Drain
& Black Tank Drain) and leave the black tank
drain valve open.
2. Connect a garden hose from the water supply
source to the “black tank flush.”
3. With the water source turned ON, flush the black
water holding tank until the water running out of
the black tank drain valve is clear (not discolored
or cloudy).
4. Disconnect the garden hose and close the “black
Black Tank Flush Inlet
tank drain” valve. Fasten the sewer hose housing
dust cap back on the “black tank flush.”

The black tank drain valve must be OPEN any time there is a hose (water
supply) connected to the black tank flush.

Do not leave any hose (water supply) connected to the black tank flush when
it is not in use.

Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water tank that is used for
the black tank flush.
Toilet
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. To add water to the toilet before using, use the
flush, or fill lever, until the desired toilet water level is raised. Generally, more water is
required only when flushing solids.
If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during flushing, waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the toilet drain line to the sewage holding tank and a clogged sewage
tank or sewage pipe(s) could eventually occur.

It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s
recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding
tank.
120
Plumbing System

To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet paper.
Do not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects
down the toilet.

Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach
or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage the seals
in toilets and dump valves.
Seal cleaning. After an extended time, mineral deposits from hard water can build up under
the edge of the rubber bowl seal, resulting in a slow leak of water from the bowl. To prevent
this mineral build up, periodically clean under the bowl seal with Brilliance™ cleanser:
1. Shut OFF the water supply.
2. Apply the cleanser onto a cleaning brush. Open the toilet flush ball by pressing on the
flush level and scrub under the seal. Make sure to push brush bristles between bottom
of seal and top of flush ball surface to scrub all parts of seal that come into contact with
the flush ball.
3. Close flush ball and wait two to three minutes.
4. Open flush ball. Use the cleaning brush and water to rinse away cleanser and loosened
deposits.
Deodorants and special tissue: Your toilet requires the regular addition of a deodorant
product to reduce odors and to help break down black water holding tank contents.
For more information: Refer to the information from the toilet manufacturer located in
the Owner’s Portfolio.
Silence Plus Toilet (If so equipped)

mode. As water enters the bowl, release fingers from buttons to set the level of standing
water in the bowl. The level you set remains constant after each flush until you change.
The minimum recommended refill level is ½” above the bowl outfall. After changing water
source from municipal to demand pump, resetting the water level may be necessary.
Flush & Refill Water Setting: Water

filled approximately ½ inch above
outfall hole.
Holding Tank Level Sensors

This toilet system has Tank Level Sensors mounted on the outside of the black water tank.
FULL TANK LOCKOUT: For the safety of your system, the toilet will not flush when
the Full Tank Sensor senses a full tank (LED is red).
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE: If the tank is full (LED is red) and an emergency flush
is needed, press and hold either flush button for 6 seconds to flush toilet. CAUTION:
This may cause overfilling of a waste tank and system back up will flash.
LED SLEEP MODE: To save power consumption when not in use, an automatic LED
sleep mode is programmed on this wall switch. If the toilet is not used for 8 hours, the
keypad’s LED lights will go out. The press of any button will start a flush and reactive
back lighting.
Winterization
This toilet must be winterized to avoid freeze damage. Failure to do so will void warranty.
Follow vehicle manufacturer’s winterization procedures. Typically, this involves emptying
RV’s potable water supply and using RV antifreeze (propylene glycol). Flush toilet until
antifreeze is seen in bowl. Flush an additional five times with antifreeze mixture to ensure
discharge line is winterized. Never use automotive type antifreeze.
122
Heating & Cooling
Air Conditioner/Heat Pump

The air conditioner/heat pump heats and cools from a single unit. The heating unit will not
replace a furnace for heating your motor home in cold weather. It is designed to warm the
coach during cool or mild temperatures. Both the heating and cooling unit are controlled by
a single thermostat.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included in your Owner’s Portfolio for detailed
operating instructions
In the cooling mode, the temperature drop from inlet to supply will be 15 to 20 degrees. In
the heating mode the temperature rise from inlet to supply will be 25 to 40 degrees unless
the outdoor temperature has dropped sufficiently to cause the freeze switch to activate. In
that case, the rise will be only 10 to 20 degrees. Any deviations from these norms are cause
to examine the system for dirty air filters or a dirty outdoor coil.
Parking the vehicle in a shaded area, keeping windows and doors shut and avoiding the use
of heat producing appliances in the vehicle will help to reduce the heat gain.
Maintenance
Maintenance on the heat pump is very minimal. The only thing the owner must take care
of is cleaning and replacing the filters. The filters are made from long life non-allergenic
natural fibers which can be cleaned & reused.
It is recommended that filters be cleaned and changed at least every 2 weeks when the heat
pump is in operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for additional information
on changing the filter.

Do not operate the heat pump for extended periods of time without the filter
installed. Lint, grease, dirt, etc. that are normally stopped by the filter are
now accumulating in the cooling coil. This leads to loss of air volume, icing
up of the cooling coil, and could result in serious damage to the operating
components of the heat pump.
Thermostat
The multi-function thermostat is located in the bathroom overhead command center. The
following is an overview of the thermostat. Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included
in your Owner’s Portfolio for detailed operating instructions and other specific notes on
thermostat temperature ranges and programming.
NOTE: The thermostat may be black with white markings or white

with gray markings.
The thermostat system will operate in both heat and cool modes, but will not allow the user
to run simultaneously in heat and cool mode. A zone is an area of the motor coach that is
climate controlled. This system can control up to four zones in a motor home.

Heating & Cooling
When the system is first powered up, the thermostat determines how many zones are
connected to the system and only displays the zones detected.

Mode Button
Thermostat LCD Display
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is the main interface between the user and the
thermostat. It displays which zone the user is looking at. When the system is first powered
on, the thermostat determines how many zones are connected, and will only display the
zones detected.
The LCD displays the mode that the particular zone is currently in:
Cooling Mode: “COOL AUTO”, “COOL HIGH”, “COOL LOW”, “FAN HIGH”, “FAN
LOW” & “OFF”
Heating Mode: “GAS HEAT”, “HEAT ELEC” (for heat pump or electric strip heat) &
“OFF”
The LCD also displays the room temperature and the set point temperature in the displayed
zone. If the word SET is displayed, the set point (or desired) temperature is shown. If the
word SET is not displayed, the temperature shown is the actual room temperature in the
displayed zone.
Set Point Buttons
The set point buttons are located to the right and below the LCD display. These buttons
adjust the desired temperature set point up and down. To change the set point, press UP or
DOWN one time. This displays the word SET, and puts the system in the mode to change
the set point. Then each press of the UP or DOWN buttons changes the set point up or down
for the displayed zone by one degree per press of the button.
Set points are not adjustable when the thermostat is turned off. Set point is not adjustable
for the displayed zone when the displayed zone is set to run “FAN HIGH” or “FAN LOW”
in that zone, or if the displayed zone is turned “OFF”.
Set points are stored permanently in memory for each zone in both heating and cooling. This
allows the user to switch between heating and cooling at season changes and maintain the
same settings from the previous year.
System Button
The SYSTEM button is used to put the thermostat into either heating or cooling modes, or
turning the thermostat off. Selecting OFF, the system will not operate any heating or cooling
appliances. However, the LCD display will still show the room temperatures in each zone.
124
Heating & Cooling
Selecting HEAT, the system is heating. The heating appliance selected will operate when the
zone room temperature is one degree below the desired set point temperature. The heating
appliance will continue to run until the zone temperature is one degree above the desired set
point temperature.
Selecting COOL, the system is cooling. The cooling appliance connected in the particular
zone will operate according to the mode the zone is set to.
Zone Button
The ZONE button allows the user to toggle through the different area zones. By pressing
the ZONE button, the user toggles through each zone. When the system is first powered up,
it determines how many zones are in the system and only displays the detected zones.
Mode Button
By pressing the MODE button the user toggles through the different modes for the system.
When in COOL the thermostat will toggle through the following modes: “COOL AUTO”,
“COOL HIGH”, “COOL LOW”, “FAN HIGH”, “FAN LOW”, “OFF”.
When in HEAT, the thermostat will toggle through the following modes: “GAS HEAT”,
“HEAT ELEC”, “OFF”. However this will only happen if the system has both gas and
electric heat in a zone. If a system has only an air conditioner and gas furnace in a zone,
then when set to heat, the user will only be able to toggle through “GAS HEAT” and
“OFF” because there is no electric heat available. If the system does not have an appliance
connected in a zone, the user will not be able to toggle modes in that zone.
Setting the Thermostat:
The thermostat default setting for each zone upon initial startup is 78°F, for cooling and
68°F, for heating. The fan speed for the cooling mode is “COOL AUTO”, which is set to
vary the fan speed according to the cooling needs. The fan speed for the heating mode is
dependent on the type of heat that is installed for each zone and can not be changed.
NOTE: The temperature set point cannot be adjusted in the fol-

lowing situations: when the zone is turned off for either heating or
cooling mode or when the fan is set to be running continuously in
either high or low speed.
Setting Temperature
1. Use the SYSTEM button to select either COOL or HEAT. The current room temperature
for that zone will display.
2. Press the MODE button to select the operation you desire.
3. Press the SET POINT buttons (UP or DOWN) once to place the thermostat in the SET
mode. At this point the thermostat displays the current set point for the displayed zone.
(SET will show on the LCD display)
4. Press the SET POINT buttons (UP or DOWN) to change the set point temperature to
the desired setting. Each press of the UP button will increase the set point temperature
by one degree. Each press of the DOWN button will decrease the set point temperature
by one degree.

Heating & Cooling
5. Pressing the ZONE button to toggle to the next zone or letting the thermostat sit idle for
a few seconds will store the temperature setting in the thermostat memory.
6. This process should be done for each zone.
Changing the Temperature Scale

Temperature changes from °F to °C or °C to °F
Set Fan Speed for Cooling Mode
1. Use the SYSTEM button to select the COOL option.
2. Pressing the MODE button will toggle through the available speeds.
“COOL AUTO” setting allows the fan speed to vary depending on the cooling
needs. This is the default setting.
“COOL HIGH” or “COOL LOW” setting will set the fan speed to run continuously
at high or low, but the upper unit will cycle when cooling is needed.
“FAN HIGH” and “FAN LOW” setting will set the fan to run continuously at high
or low speed. The upper unit will not run to produce cooling. Set point is not
adjustable in this mode.
“OFF” will turn the upper unit off for zone displayed. By continuing to press the
MODE button, you can toggle through the settings for the zone displayed until
you have determined the setting you desire. Set point is not adjustable in this
mode.
3. Once you have established the settings for Zone 1, press the ZONE button to store
settings in thermostat memory and proceed to the next zone.
4. Repeat steps for each zone.
NOTE: There is a built-in delay between programming and

operation of the new program. This delay helps to eliminate
“communication noise problems”.
NOTE: Setting SYSTEM button to OFF position will shut

down all unit operations.
Heat Pump Lockout:

If the system has both gas heat (LP furnace or hydronic heat) and electric heat (electric strip
heat or heat pump) appliances installed in the same zone, then the system will automatically
switch from Heat Electric to Gas Heat if the electric heat cannot satisfy the desired set
point temperature. Electric heating systems tend to be less effective the lower the outside
temperature. At low outside temperatures, your electric strip heat or heat pump may not be
able to satisfy the set point.
The system switches from “HEAT ELEC” to “GAS HEAT” when the actual zone room
temperature is 5 degrees or more below the desired set point temperature. If this happens
126
Heating & Cooling
3 times in a row, the electric heat is locked out for 2 hours and the gas heat becomes the
primary heat source. When this happens, the LCD will continue to display “ELEC” but the
word “GAS” will flash on the LCD to alert the user that the electric heat source has been
locked out.

Induction Cooktop (If So Equipped)
Induction cooktops are more efficient than gas or electric cooktops. The cooking surface
heats through magnetic induction. Cookware for induction cooking should be magnetic
(steel or cast iron) and have a flat bottom. Cookware made from aluminum, corning ware,
Pyrex, or glass will not work by just placing them on the surface, but can be used if they are

Appliances
placed on top of a magnetic interface disk which will function as a conventional hot plate.
Stainless steel cookware may or may not work. If there is a doubt as to whether a certain pan
or skillet will work, check it with a magnet. If the magnet clings to it, it will probably work
with the induction cooktop; if it doesn’t or clings weakly it probably won’t work.

Aluminum foil should NEVER be used with an induction cooktop. It can
permanently melt to the cooktop cracking the surface or causing permanent
damage.

Touching a hot pan or cooking vessel can still cause burns. Use pot holders or
oven mitts to remove hot pans from the cooktop.
Induction cooktops are much safer to use than electric or gas.

The stovetop stays cool, no burned fingers or hands if you touch the surface.
Only the cooking vessel gets hot.
The cooking surface only works when there is a magnetic pan (or interface disk) in
place on it. Sensors detect the amount of ferrous material in the area of the magnetic
field and if it is not the size of a small pan it won’t turn on.
Induction cooktops will not heat up the kitchen.
Very rapid temperature increases can be achieved and very fine adjustments can be
made.
Refer to manufacturer’s manual for detailed operating and cleaning instructions.
In Case Of A Grease Fire

Do not attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of

Electronics
Satellite TV Antenna (if so equipped)

Your motor home may be equipped with a stationary and/or in-motion satellite TV antenna.
This enables you to toggle between satellites while stationary or in-motion using a remote
control, if subscribing to multi-satellite programming.
NOTE: All dome satellite systems are motorized single dish / single
LNB mechanisms. They can only point toward and receive program-
ming from one satellite at a time. The automatic satellite dish is
compatible with DISH Network® and DIRECTV® standard definition
programming and DISH Network HD programming.
The following is an overview of the satellite operation and functions. Refer to the
manufacturer’s user guide included in your Owner’s Portfolio for detailed operating
instructions, or visit the manufacturer’s website.
Your unit is preset for DIRECTV receivers. To change this setting, refer to the manufacturer’s
operation manual.
Operating your in-motion antenna
1. Turn on receiver and television set. The antenna must be connected to a receiver that
is plugged into 12 VAC.
2. Verify that you are getting the receiver’s menu screens on the television. These
screens are available with or without the dish finding the signal. Refer to the antenna
manufacturer’s operation manual for details of receiver set up.
3. Turn the power switch on for the antenna. The dish should start moving, making one
or two revolutions before it stops to acquire GPS. This can take a few moments or up
to 10-15 minutes. Normal operation will be less than a minute.
4. Once the unit has acquired GPS, the dish will begin its search. The dish will pause on
the signal long enough to determine which satellite it has found. If it moves off the
signal, it is in an effort to verify the signal and should return to the signal shortly.
5. After the unit has verified that it has the correct satellite, it will continue to track the
signal.
6. If the vehicle does not move for six minutes, the unit will toggle to its alternate satellite,
then toggle back to the primary satellite and “go to sleep”. If the vehicle begins
movement in a straight line at 10 mph, the unit will resume tracking mode.
7. If you do not have a signal, see “Troubleshooting” during power up in the manufacturer’s
operation manual.
Modes of Operation
Whether stationary or in-motion during satellite signal acquisition, the unit enters tracking
mode. In this mode, the unit will actively follow the satellite as the vehicle travels, even
if the vehicle is stationary for the first six minutes. Tracking mode ends when the antenna
has successfully finished its search and the vehicle has not moved for six (6) minutes. The
antenna will resume tracking mode if it detects movement in a straight line at 10 mph or
more.

Electronics
In sleep mode, the unit is at rest. The antenna enters sleep mode six (6) minutes after a
successful search if stationary, or six (6) minutes after the vehicle stops moving.
Recovery From Signal Interruption
While traveling, the signal will be interrupted when the line of sight to the satellite is
blocked. Signal is acquired again after line of sight is restored.
If signal is interrupted for more than 15 seconds, the system automatically enters the search
routine. The length of time for the TV picture to recover depends on the receiver model you
are using.
NOTE: You must drive in a straight line at 10 mph or more when

starting to operate in motion.
Toggle In-Motion
The satellite antenna will automatically toggle between the primary and alternate satellites
for your service provider. For toggling in-motion, you may notice a slight delay in satellite
switching which could cause a loss in picture. This is normal. Picture loss should be no
longer than three seconds. If the alternate satellite the antenna is trying to toggle to is blocked
for more than 25 seconds, the system automatically enters the search routine.
NOTE: Use your on-screen guide to locate your channel rather than
“channel surfing”. This will result in smoother operation.
NOTE: If powering up while in-motion, you must be traveling at a

minimum of 10 mph in a straight line.
Operating your SD (stationary) antenna

1. Turn on receiver and television set. The antenna must be connected to a receiver
that is plugged into 120 VAC.
2. Verify that you are getting the receiver’s menu screens on the television. These
screens are available with or without the dish finding the signal.
3. Turn the power switch on for the antenna. The dish will detect if it is already on a
satellite signal. If it detects a signal, the dish will move to check its alternate satellite
and then move back to the original satellite signal that is on.
4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its search to locate the primary satellite.
Once the dish locates a signal, it will pause long enough to identify which satellite it has
located. This may or may not be visible on your receiver’s point dish screen.
5. After the unit has verified that it has the correct satellite, it will move to check the
alternate satellite and move back to the primary satellite to complete the search routine.
6. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting in the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
142
Electronics
NOTE: Because the antenna uses information from the last location
that it was on a signal, satellite acquisition may take longer if the dish
is inactive over long distance traveling.
DIRETV must be set to the “two” satellite, oval dish setting. Refer to your receiver
manual. DISH Network receivers must have the check switch set to “SW64”.
Satellite Dish (if so equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with the TRAV’LER® automatic multi-satellite TV

To view local stations at either (or both) the front or bedroom television sets using the
television antenna, make sure the TV power supply is ON and the TV roof antenna is raised
to the operating position.
The following is an overview of the antenna operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s user
guide for detailed operating instructions.
Raising the antenna
To raise the TV antenna to the operating position turn the
antenna elevating crank clockwise in the UP direction
(approximately 13 turns) until some resistance to turning is
noted.
On amplified models, 12-volt DC power is required. After
the antenna is in the full UP position, pull down on the
round knob with both hands until it disengages from the
ceiling plate. Rotate the knob for best picture.
To Test
1. Make sure the television set is working properly.
2. Switch the power supply ON and OFF to see if there is a difference in the picture
quality while watching TV. If there is no difference, refer to manufacturer’s manual for
further testing procedures.

The TV power supply should be turned OFF when connecting/disconnecting
the cables to the power supply and antenna, but should be turned ON when
testing for voltage.
Lowering the antenna

Rotate the antenna until the pointer on the directional handle aligns with the pointer on
the ceiling plate. Turn the elevating crank counterclockwise in the DOWN direction until
resistance is noted. The antenna is now locked in the travel position

Make sure the television antenna is in the travel position (cranked down)
before moving the recreation vehicle. Failure to lower the antenna into the
travel position before traveling may damage the antenna.
DO’S
Check parking location for obstructions before raising antenna.
Carefully raise, lower and rotate. If this is difficult, check for cause.
Rotate slowly when selecting station and check fine tuning on TV set to make sure it
146

is properly adjusted.
Lower antenna before moving vehicle.
DONT’S
Don’t force elevating crank up or down.
Don’t rotate directional handle hard against stops.
Don’t travel with lift in up position.
Don’t leave lift part way up or down.
Don’t apply sealing compound or paint over top of base plate or anywhere on lift.
Lubricating the antenna
The elevating gear should be lubricated 3-4 times a year with silicone spray.
Two times yearly or in the event rotating the antenna becomes difficult normal operation can
be restored by lubricating the bearing surface between the rotating gear housing and the base
plate. Any silicone lubricant spray may be used.
Lubricate rubber quad ring on elevating shaft which is below worm gear with silicone spray
lubricant at least twice yearly. This will keep quad ring from becoming brittle which could
result in leaks down elevating shaft.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for detailed information on lubricating the antenna.

bedroom entertainment center.
I-Pad (if so equipped)
iPad Control System Theory of Operation:
The iPad Control System is an application based system. The application is called Utouch.
It utilizes a local area network which is programmed with specific gateway and device
addresses. These addresses are used by the application and all of the modules (gateways)
linked to the system. Each individual module also has its own unique address within the
system, as does each individual light, shade or television.
Each of these gateways has certain devices assigned to them. The Utouch application knows
from the device table in its programming where all of the devices are located and which
gateway they are assigned to. Utouch starts the operator at the home page, which is a system
overview. From the home page the operator may select the type of devices they wish to
control.
Once a selection has been made, Utouch will then open the operation page for that specific
device or group of devices.
Example of an operational Command
Turning on the living room television can easily be done from the Utouch home page by
touching the living room TV power button.
When this is done the TV power command is sent wirelessly through the router to the correct
gateway. It receives the wireless command and converts it into an IR signal and sends it to
the IR receiver on the front of the TV. The TV will now turn on.
Although the commands and the gateway modules used will change according to what
command is given, all operational commands follow this example.
The switch panels conveniently located throughout the living quarters of your coach allow
you to turn your lighting on or off, as well as dim the lighting to any desired level with the
touch of a button. They will also allow you to control the operation of the day and night
shades individually or in specific areas of the coach. Each button is labeled to show the
lights and shades that the buttons will operate.
Operating the Lights Using the Switch Panels
1. Turning the light on or off – Press the illuminated light bulb icon button on the right
side of the switch label and release it within one second in order to turn the light on or
off.
2. Dimming a light – Holding the button for more than one second will gradually ramp the
light up and down until the button is released. The light will then remain at the dimmed
level. If the light is turned off and then back on, it will remember the dimmed level.

Cleaning The Interior

To keep the value of your recreation vehicle, perform regular maintenance using the proper
materials and procedures. Using the wrong cleaner may result in damage to the surfaces
in your vehicle. Check with the manufacturer’s information for the recommended cleaning
agent. If in doubt, check to see if the cleaner will cause damage by testing a small area out of
sight or contact your dealer for assistance. Do not use flammable liquids or sprays to clean
the recreation vehicle.
Décor Items
Décor items such as décor glass, furniture, window treatments, shades and blinds should be
cared for as follows:
Décor Glass (if so equipped)
Use a glass cleaner to remove smudges, smears and spots. If there is any decorative etching
on the décor glass, use care when cleaning around that area.
Furniture Upholstery
To retain the value of your recreation vehicle, maintain the furniture upholstery carefully
and keep the interior clean. Vacuum the furniture regularly using a soft brush attachment to
remove any loose dirt or debris.
Fabric (if so equipped)
It is recommended the fabric be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The
professional cleaner should be made aware the fabrics that may have been treated to be
fire resistant. For more information, refer to the specific furniture manufacturer’s care
instructions.
Ultraleather™ (if so equipped)
It is recommended the Ultraleather™ be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or
soiled. For more information, refer to the specific furniture manufacturer’s care instructions.
Leather (if so equipped)
Periodic vacuuming, using a dry cloth to wipe up spills immediately, and using a damp
cloth on problem areas, will help to keep your leather furniture in good condition. Leather
surfaces can vary as do the cleaning methods. Refer to the furniture manufacturer’s
recommendation, or consult a cleaning professional.
It is recommended you do not use any cleaners containing oils, waxes or silicones. Cleaners
containing silicone can eventually destroy the finish on the leather. Cleaners containing oils
or waxes should not be used as they leave residues on the surface of the leather which can
attract more dirt which can eventually lead to crackingWindow treatments
Fabric – Drapes and valances
Dust occasionally with a vacuum and soft brush attachment. It is recommended the fabric
be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The professional cleaner should be
made aware the fabrics that may have been treated to be fire resistant.
Window Shades
Shades should be vacuumed periodically to remove dust. It doesn’t matter what type of
shade or fabric you have, using your vacuum cleaners upholstery brush on low suction will
remove most dust and dirt from the shade.
Refer to the shade manufacturer’s owner’s manual for additional and detailed information.
To remove stuck on dust or stains refer to the following guide.

Interior
Solar shields: Use a sponge or soft brush and water to remove stains. A mild cleaning
solution can be used to remove tougher stains. Rinse after cleaning by wetting a clean cloth
in fresh water, wringing our any excess and wiping the areas where the cleaner was used.
Day/night Shades: Clean with a mild cleaning solution using a sponge or paper towel. Wipe
down with water after cleaning and dry thoroughly before raising the shade. Do not use
spot remover, household cleaners or detergents to remove soiled spots, as these may cause
damage to fabric or loss of color from fading.
Mini Blinds: A simple dry rag may do the trick. If they’re especially dirty, you can use cold
or warm water to clean them. But never use hot water.
Fill a spray bottle with water and a tiny amount of soap. Then spray a lint-free towel with
the mixture and use the towel to wipe down each slat. While cleaning, try not to bend the
slats. They can also be soaked in a bathtub to loosen up any debris so the slats can be wiped
down easily.
Roller Shades: Can be easily cared for by simply using soapy water or a mild cleaning
solution on spots. However try a small area first. Harsh household cleaners or detergents
may cause damage to fabric or loss of color. It is our recommendation to dust the rails and
fabrics of the shades on a regular basis. Shades should be kept in the closed or up position
when not in use, to maintain pleat retention and minimize dirt and soil build-up. Do not store
shades in the down position. This may cause some loss of pleat retention if the shades are
not operated on a consistent basis.
NOTE: If your recreation vehicle must be stored for an extended

period of time, store shades in the up position and cover your win-
dows with additional protection (I.E. Cut out cardboard)..
Sofa
Your motor home may be equipped with one of the following sofa styles.Easy Bed
Sofa
The easy bed sofa should comfortably seat two to three adults. It converts to a bed by lifting
at the front of the sofa seat section and pulling it towards you. The sofa back will follow
and pivot down into a horizontal position. To reconvert back to an upright sofa, reverse
the process (make sure to pull the seat belts out into their usable positions). Refer to the
furniture manufacturer’s care instructions for this product.
Hide-A-Bed Sofa
The hide-a-bed sofa functions much the same as a regular residential hide-a-bed sofa. To
make the hide-a-bed sofa into a bed, remove the seat cushions and pull the strap located at
the front of the sofa seat bottom out towards you firmly and gently.
To convert the hide-a-bed back into the upright sofa position, reverse the process (make
sure to pull the seat belts out into their usable positions). Be sure to hold the sofa strap
firmly to ensure the hide-a-bed sofa does not suddenly drop shut. Refer to the furniture
manufacturer’s care instructions for this product.
Love Seat
152
Interior
The love seat adds to your motor home seating capacity. It should seat up to two adults
comfortably. Refer to the specific furniture manufacturer’s care instructions for this product.
Dinette Table
The dinette table can be extended by standing at the end of the table, firmly holding both
sides of the table, and pulling the table towards you. To return the table to the stowed
position, reverse this process pushing it in until the table locks in place.

If your motor home is equipped with a booth dinette, always use seatbelts if
sitting at the dinette while the motor home is in transit.
Free Standing Dinette Chairs (If So Equipped)

Two free standing chairs and two folding chairs are included in the Free Standing Table/
chair Package (if so equipped). When traveling in the motor home, it is recommended the
free standing dinette chairs be fastened securely at the dinette table, and the folding chairs
be secured in a closet or storage area.

Do not allow occupants to occupy the free standing dinette chairs while the
motor home is in transit.
Cabinetry & Tables

To keep hardwood doors, cabinet fronts and hardwood tables looking like new regularly
dust with a soft cloth dampened with a cleaning polish or mild detergent solution. Avoid
using ammonia based products or silicone oils as they may cause damage if used over a long
period of time.
The finish is durable and resistant to most household spills. However, spills should be wiped
up promptly to avoid potential problems. Excessive prolonged exposure to direct sunlight,
high temperatures and high humidity can cause damage to both the finish and the wood
itself. These should be avoided.
Pantry or Hutch (If So Equipped)
Depending on the kitchen layout of your recreation vehicle, you may have a pantry or hutch
that you can use to store items you wish to take with you as you travel and camp. Make sure
all items stored in the pantry or hutch are secured so they do not shift during travel. This
cabinetry has been designed to accommodate the normal camping items (i.e., paper plates,
flatware, cookware, etc.) which are bulky but not necessarily heavy. Remember your
recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designed by weight, not volume, so you cannot
necessarily use all available space.
If your pantry or hutch has sliding pantry shelves, they have been equipped with a locking
mechanism to keep them in place during transit. To secure the shelf in place, push it all of
the way in until the latch tab clicks into place. Always pull out slightly on the shelf to make
sure that it is stationary and secure in the transit position. To release the shelf, push in on the
tab and pull the shelf slowly towards you.

Interior

Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the
vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle
as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are
secured so they do not shift during travel.
Countertops
To prevent permanent damage to your countertop:
Use a cutting board to prevent unnecessary damage to the countertops. Do not cut
directly on the countertop.
Always use a hot pad or trivets under hot pans or dishes or heat producing appliances
such as frying pans and the like.
●● Granite will absorb heat from the pan creating a burn risk once the pan has been
removed. Grit between the pan and granite surface can cause scratching and
pitting.
●● Heat will damage the solid surface countertops.
Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.
Use coasters under all glasses, bottles and cans.
Do not store toiletry products directly on your countertop surface. Hair products,
perfumes, colognes, nail products, creams, lotions and potions have a tendency to spill
or leak and go overlooked. Even though the counter top is sealed, a substance that
remains on the surface for an extended period may stain granite.
Run cold water when pouring hot/boiling water into the sink.
Your motor home may be equipped with one or both of the following countertops.
Granite Countertops (if so equipped)
NOTE: Only have a professional fabricator repair any countertop

damage.
Cleaning your countertop

To keep granite countertops clean, use a microfiber cloth to dust off countertop surfaces.
Wipe down the granite countertops daily and as needed using water. Once a week wipe
down with a damp cloth and a stone cleaner formulated with a neutral pH. Never use harsh
chemicals or abrasive cleaners. They can scratch, pit, and etch the surface of the stone.
Clean surfaces using a sponge or soft cloth. Using a specially formulated stone cleaner is
recommended to keep your tops in the best condition and protect the sealer. Hot water will
work for quick clean-ups. Dish soap won’t permanently damage your granite, but repeated
154
Interior
use of soap will cause build-up (even if you rinse) and dull your countertop’s shine. Using
dish soap for regular granite counter top care is not recommended.
Blot up spills immediately. Acidic substances like wine, coffee, fruit juices, tomato sauce
and sodas will not etch granite, but they could potentially stain the surface. Cooking oils may
also leave a stain if not wiped up.
Do not use generic cleaning products such as bleach, glass cleaners, de-greasers or
other common household cleaners. These products contain acids, alkalis and other
chemicals that will degrade the granite sealer leaving the stone more vulnerable to
staining.
Do not use vinegar, ammonia, lemon or orange as cleaners.
Do not use bathroom, tub and tile or grout cleaners. The powders and even the “soft”
creams contain abrasives that will scratch and dull surfaces.
Solid surface Countertops (if so equipped)
Solid surface materials are easy to care for, and if damaged, easy to repair. Soapy water,
ammonia based cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build up that may
dull the surface) or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove most dirt
and residue from all types of finishes. A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will remove
watermarks.
Difficult stains can be removed from the matte finish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and a
mild abrasive cleaner.
Disinfect the surface periodically with diluted household bleach (one part water to one part
bleach). For cuts and scratches, sand the matte finish lightly with (220) fine grit sandpaper
until the cut or scratch is gone. Restore finish with a green Scotch BriteÒ pad and mild
abrasive cleaner.
Solid surface sink maintenance
Occasionally, clean the solid surface sink by filling one-quarter full with a 50/50 water/
bleach solution. Let soak for 15 minutes, and then wash sides and bottom of sink as solution
drains.
Interior Wall Panel
Please contact your dealership service department for assistance in repairing décor paneling.
If deep scratches occur on the wall panel, putty sticks can be used to cover scratches on
wood surfaces. These can be obtained from local hardwood stores and lumberyards.
To clean, use a mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a soft sponge or cloth. Wipe
dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may cause the vinyl to scratch and
become dull. Do not use cleaners that contain bleach.

Interior
Flooring
Carpet
Vacuum your carpet regularly. It is important to remove loose soil and debris while it is on
the surface. Heavily traveled areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the furniture) may be
protected with small throw rugs to prolong the life of the carpet.
Prompt attention to spots and spills is essential. Remove as much of the spill as possible.
Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly with white paper or cloth
towels.
Refer to the manufacturer’s guide included in your Owner’s Portfolio for detailed cleaning
information, or contact a cleaning professional.
Ceramic tile
Vacuum the ceramic floor tiles regularly to remove dirt and other gritty particles, then damp
mop or sponge with an all-purpose, non-oil based cleaner. Do not use ammonia, as it will
discolor the grout. Refer to the manufacturers guide or contact a cleaning professional for
detailed cleaning information.
Grout, the material used to fill the spaces between the tiles is porous, and sealing it will
simplify maintenance in the future. The ceramic tile manufacturer recommends applying a
sealer at least twice a year for maximum stain protection. Sealers may be purchased at most
local home centers or floor-covering stores. Neglected or heavily trafficked tile may require
more intensive cleaning.
Do not use cleansers containing acid or bleach for routine maintenance.
Do not use wax cleaners, oil-based detergents or sealants to maintain your tile (sealants
may be used on grout joints and natural stone).
Do not use ammonia (it will discolor grout).
Do not use harsh cleaning aids like steel wool pads or scouring pads containing metal.
Do not use a cleaning agent that contains color on unglazed ceramic tile or natural
stone.
Do test scouring powders on a small area first (not recommended for natural stone).
Do use a sealer on grout joints.
Do have any damaged or broken tiles removed and replaced only by a qualified
contractor.
Ceiling Fabric
The ceiling fabric is made from padded vinyl fabric. Wash with mild detergent and water. Use
a soft bristle brush for stubborn soil. Rinse and dry. Some household cleaners and solvents
remove plasticizers from vinyl, making them brittle. Abrasive cleaners may mar or scratch
the surface. Always test a small hidden area before applying cleaners to the vinyl surface.
Power Window Shades (if so equipped)

Power day shades have been installed for the windshield area of your motor home.
To extend the shades, locate the appropriate switch, and momentarily press the down “arrow”
(left side) of the appropriate switch. A second momentarily press of the same down “arrow”
on the switch will stop shade operation. Retract the shades by momentarily pressing the up
“arrow” (right side) of the appropriate switch. A second momentarily press of the same up

Cleaning The Exterior

To protect your motor home’s exterior finish, wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you
may wash and wax your new motor home 60 days after purchase. The exterior paint does
need time to cure before any wax is applied to the exterior surface. Careful maintenance for
the first 60 days will assure a long lasting durable finish.
Your RV is exposed to many environmental conditions that have an adverse affect on the
paint finish:
Road Salt and Sodium Chloride
Road Tar / Bugs
Bird Droppings / Tree Sap
Industrial Fallout / Acid Rain /Pollution
UV Exposure and Moisture
The most common problems resulting from these conditions are corrosion, staining, and
chemical spotting. Generally, the longer the foreign material remains in contact with the
exterior finish, the more extensive the damage. These problems can be minimized by
regularly scheduled washing and polishing. Wash your motor home as soon as possible if it
becomes contaminated with foreign material.
Avoid parking under trees or near ocean sea salt. Ice or snow should not be scraped from
the painted surface: Brush off!
Gravel roads should be avoided. Anti-freeze, gasoline or washer solvents if spilled on the
painted surface should be rinsed off with water immediately. Bugs and bird droppings
should be rinsed off daily. The use of a protective covering (bra) is not recommended
and will void the limited lifetime warranty of the diamond shield protective surface (see
Cleaning the Diamond Shield Surface).
Washing
Commercial washing should be avoided. Wash with cold water using a mild liquid soap.
Dry wiping with a dry cloth is not recommended. Make sure the RV’s surface temperature is
cool, under 90 F, and out of direct sunlight. A shaded area is ideal for washing your vehicle
as direct sunlight causes water spotting. Use a mild soap or detergent. Most auto care stores
will carry a car wash shampoo. Try to avoid combination wash-n-wax products as these
waxes can cause build up and are designed for smaller surfaces. Have two dedicated sponges
or wash mitts: one for the paint finish and one for the wheels and under- carriage. Brushes or
wash mitts that are made of plastic bristles are acceptable for use on tires and wheel wells,
but are not intended for use on the paint finish. Avoid using such items on painted surfaces
as they will damage the RV finish. Wash the wheels and wheel wells first as this removes
heavy dirt and debris and prevents it from splattering on panels. Wet the entire area down to
remove loose dirt and grime, then hand wash one area at a time using your dedicated paint
finish sponge or wash mitt.
Wash from the top and work your way down, rinsing frequently to minimize grit abrasion.
Follow with a final rinse of water. This process will remove most contamination from the
RV’s surface. For stubborn stains such as road tar or bug stains, use an ammonia based glass
cleaner or a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a damp cloth followed immediately by
warm soapy water, and rinsing with clean water.
This may not dissolve the road tar, but it will loosen tar and bug stains and remove them
from the surface. Do not use solvent based cleaners on bird droppings or tree sap as these are

Exterior
water based stains. They can be dissolved using ammonia based glass cleaner, warm soapy
water and a little “elbow grease”. Once again, after removing stubborn stains immediately
rinse with clean water.
Drying the RV is just as important as washing your vehicle. Tap water and well water
contain many chemicals that could water stain your RV’s finish. We suggest using a damp
natural or synthetic chamois. There are other drying products such as lint-free micro-fiber
towels that work just as well.
During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals that are spread on winter roads in some geographical areas can have
a detrimental effect on the motor home’s underbody. If your motor home is exposed to
these conditions, spray the underbody with a high-pressure hose every time you wash
the exterior of your motor home.
Take special care to remove mud or other debris that could trap and hold salt or moisture.
After washing your motor home, wipe off all water drops from the rubber parts around the
slideout and doors.
NOTE: When the slideout or door is frozen, opening it by force may

tear off or crack the rubber gasket that is installed around the slideout
or door. Therefore, pour warm water on the gasket to melt the ice
(wipe off the water thoroughly after opening the slideout or door). To
prevent the weather stripping from freezing, treat it with a silicone
spray.
Waxing
Wax your motor home once or twice a year, or when painted surfaces do not shed water well.
Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of wax to the painted surfaces. After the wax has
dried, polish the motor home with a dry, soft cloth.
Do not wax your motor home in direct sunlight. Wax it after the surfaces have cooled. Do
not apply wax to any area having a flat black finish as it can cause discoloration. If the finish
has been stained with wax, wipe off the area with a soft cloth and warm water. When waxing
the area around the various openings, do not apply any wax on the weatherstrip. If it is
stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal around the opening.

Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive compounds. Such waxes remove
rust and stains effectively from the paint work, but they are also harmful to the
luster of the painted surface since they scrape off the coating. Further, they are
detrimental to glossy surfaces, such as the grille, garnish, moldings, etc. Do
not use gasoline or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contamination to
the painted surface.
160
Exterior
Polishing your motor home

If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and have lost their original luster and
color tone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your
polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing
cloth in one direction.
After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a
beautiful luster.

Do not use a buffer and a buffing compound as it may damage the exterior
surface. Please contact a professional paint body shop for assistance.

To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as soon as
possible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the
tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. Refer to Sec. 10 Diagrams &
Specifications for the exterior paint code numbers.
Cleaning the Diamond Shield surface
Your motor home is equipped with a protective Diamond Shield surface located on the front
lower cap area, hood edges, generator door, under the entry door grab handle and door lock.
When cleaning the surface, do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or detergents.
The manufacturer of the Diamond Shield surface does not recommend the use of any of the
dry wash types of cleaners as they are intended for non-porous surfaces, paint protection
films are a porous material. Car wash type soap is recommended. Bugs should be washed off
as soon as possible. One bug cleaner recommended by Diamond Shield is Bug Magic, but
any similar product should work just as well.
Use EXTREME care if using a pressure washer, too high of a pressure or misuse of pressure
washer may cut or tear the film. Pressure washer damage IS NOT covered under Diamond
Shield’s warranty. The application of ANY products over Diamond Shield i.e vinyl bras,
banners, etc. will void the Diamond Shield warranty.
Diamond Shield recommends the use of 303 Aerospace Protectant™, especially before any
trips or Protect All (www.protectall.com) both of these products replenish and provide UV
screening protection, repel dust, soiling and staining, and should be applied every time you
clean the front of your motor home. For minor scuffs Diamond Shield recommends the
NOVUS line of products. Waxing of your motor home is recommended at least 3-4 times
per year. Prior to putting your motor home in storage, the Diamond Shield surface should
be cleaned and waxed. Diamond Shield recommends Mothers or Maguire’s Liquid wax. DO
NOT USE wax designed for specific colors.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or chamois
to remove any white residue from dark colored plastic surfaces. Do not use a scrubbing
brush, other hard tools, or wax containing abrasives as they may damage the plastic surface.

Exterior

Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and
apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish product.
Frame
Frames will show signs of rust much sooner when exposed to salty air than in dry air. Also,
frames receive heavy abuse from road conditions such as sand, pebbles, objects in the
highway, and/or ice inhibiting chemicals, all of which will cause chipping and a blasting
effect on the painted surface. Periodically rinse off the frame (or as use requires) removing
road grime, tar, oil, mud or salt.
Refer to your Chassis Guide for the chassis manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
NOTE: Undercoating is applied to parts of the chassis frame and

other areas on the underside of every motor home.
Mud Flap (If so Equipped)

If your motor home is equipped with rear wheel mud flaps and a deluxe full-width mud flap,
periodically check and remove dirt or debris buildup from the mud flaps.

The mud flap(s) should never be tilted towards the exhaust pipe when the
motor home is not in motion or when the motor home is moving in reverse.
Caution should be used when parking the motor home to assure the mud flap
does not become caught or hung up on stationary items on the ground. This
could result in damage to the mud flap(s)
Front Axle Tire Alignment

The term alignment refers to both the adjustment angles on the steering axle and suspension
and tracking of the rear axle. Many factors are considered when establishing proper alignment.
Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings and even proper loading will affect your
motor home alignment. Your motor home chassis was aligned by the manufacturer, and
weighed at our facility before shipment to your dealer. It is your responsibility to have
the alignment inspected periodically to maintain vehicle steering performance and prevent
uneven tire wear as part of your normal maintenance.
162
Exterior
NOTE: Always have the alignment checked and adjusted by a

qualified shop with the proper equipment to handle heavy vehicles.
NOTE: A road test by the dealer should be included as part of the

pre-delivery inspection. The dealer can check for and correct any
steering problems before you take delivery of the motor home. After
this road test has been completed, front-end alignment and/or vibra-
tions will not be covered as part of the new vehicle limited warranty.
Engine & Generator Compartment Access

Do not operate the motor home unless the engine hood, engine access cover,
and generator compartment hood are securely closed and locked.
Engine compartment
The exterior engine compartment access door is electrically operated. The switch to operate
the access door is typically located inside the last storage compartment on the passenger side
of the vehicle.

Keep people and pets clear of the rear of the coach while operating the engine
compartment door. Keep hands and other body parts clear of the door, hinges
and mechanism. Failure to act in accordance to these warnings may result in
serious personal injury.
Operating the engine compartment door:

The momentary switch has Engine Door printed on it, along with OPEN
and CLOSE.
Press and hold the switch to open the engine compartment door. The door
will slowly start to open, keep holding the switch until the compartment
door is completely open. To close the compartment door, press and hold the
switch until the door is completely closed.
NOTE: Letting go of the switch will stop the door immediately. To

continue opening or closing, press and hold the switch again.

Exterior
To close the engine compartment hood reverse the process.

Generator compartment hood & tray
To access the components located in the generator compartment refer to Sec. 3 Electrical
Systems, Generator & generator slide tray.
Hinges, Locks & Latches (interior & exterior)
Lubricate with a high quality silicone lubricant every three months or sooner if necessary.
Salty air or dusty environments will require more frequent maintenance.
Exterior Roof & Sidewall Vents
While you are cleaning the exterior roof assembly, also inspect the roof vents (including
sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents
for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All exterior access doors and vents
need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the
appliances are in use.
Windows

To avoid exhaust gas entry into the motor home, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are running.
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms or
while driving. This is normal and water should only be seen in the lower track portion of the
window frame. Condensation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the
tracks. Ensure that the escape window latches are properly adjusted (the window will pop
open if not adjusted tight enough).
Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
Sealants
Sealants perform a very important function and should be inspected closely and regularly
maintained. We incorporate many different types of sealants, including butyl/putty, black
butyl-encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and colored), roof sealant and foam. In general,
sealants do not have “set” lifetimes. Varying environmental factors affect the pliability and
adhesiveness of sealants.
You or your dealer must:
Inspect all sealants, a minimum of every six months. A quick walk around the motor
home before leaving may help prevent potential problems during trips and vacations.
Have the sealant replaced if you notice any cracks, voids, gaps, breaks, looseness or
any sign of physical deterioration.
Always use the same type of sealant that was removed. Your dealer service or parts
manager can help you obtain the correct sealant(s).
The sealants may become damaged due to ultraviolet exposure, air pollution, freezing
temperatures and exposure to other elements. If deteriorated, repair immediately to prevent
164
Exterior
damage. Cap seal all trim and openings at least once after the first year and thereafter as
cracks, peeling, lifting and shrinkage occur. Conditions such as rain, salt, dust and pollution
may increase your vehicle maintenance needs.

To check the exterior sidewall sealants, use a stepladder placed safely
alongside the vehicle. Do not prop a ladder against the body of the motor
home as it may damage the exterior finish

Motor home Storage
Properly preparing your motor home for storage during periods of non-usage will prevent
problems from arising. It will also make it easier to get started again for the following
camping trip or season. To prevent costly freeze-ups, winterize the plumbing system when it
will not be in use for an extended period of time, especially if it is stored in colder climates.
Prepare the chassis for storage in accordance to the Chassis Guide. Remember to use
fuel additives and supplements if so recommended.
Wash and wax the exterior of the vehicle. Do a sealant inspection and repair as
necessary.
Adding fuel stabilizer to the generator will aid in preventing condensation and fuel
varnishing.
