General Information and Operation
Main Door
The main door of the trailer is manufactured with a
built-in keyed dead bolt and door lock� The door lock is
engaged from the inside by a lever and the dead bolt is
engaged by turning the knob�
A main door hold-back is mounted on the trailer’s
exterior side skin� The hold back secures the door to
the side of the trailer� When opening the door, push it
gently into the spring-operated slide� To release the
door, slide the hold-back bolt back�
For lubrication and out-of-adjustment issues, refer to
Section 8 - Maintenance�
CAUTION
When towing, the door lock and dead bolt must be
secured. If it is not locked, the constant vibration
of travel may cause the door to open resulting in
possible damage.
Screen Door
The screen door is secured to the main door by a slide
bolt-type latch� It can be operated independently by
releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door
away from the main door�
Door Bell
The Classic is equipped with a door bell system that is
powered by 4 C batteries� The door bell is located on
the entrance wall� The button to operate the door bell is
located right outside the main entrance door�
Emergency Escape Windows
To remove the screen, pull out the screen cord by the
cord loop at the bottom portion of the window� Turn
the two red latches inward and lift the two red arms on
each side, in unison, to open the window and push it
out for clearance�
Front End Protection
Window Stone Guards
Stone guards may be provided for added protection
on the front windows� To open the guard, unhook the
two rubber T-handles on the bottom of the guard, raise
the stone guard to the desired height, and tighten
the thumb screws on each support arm� Be sure to
lower and fasten the guard when high winds may be
approaching and before travel�
Wrap Protectors
The front end of the trailer exterior shell may be
equipped with stainless steel protectors covering the
lower corner wraps� The protectors provide added
protection from road damage� The protectors can
be moved out of the way for cleaning the shell by
unbolting and swinging the protectors forward on the
hinge�

and pull straight out until step locks into place� After
extending step, the second portion folds out� To store
the step, fold it back into position, lift the front slightly,
and push the step back into its storage area�

Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to
make sure they are secure in their notches. Never
travel with step lowered or extended.
