Exterior Features
Windows
To open the window above the second-row seating or
the window above the bed, depress the red button, and
the springloaded silver latch will pop up, allowing them
to slide open� Upon closing the window, push the silver
latch button down until it clicks and locks back into
place�
Clean your touring coach windows the same way you
clean the windows in your home� Clean the seals with
a damp cloth and mild detergent every 3 to 6 months�
Do not use strong solvents, as they will damage the
seals� A coat of natural silicone lubricant applied after
the seal has dried will keep it flexible. Spread the
lubricant evenly with a brush or finger, working it into
the surface� This is a good practice for all rubber seals
in your touring coach�
WARNING
Failure to properly clean and lubricate the window
seals could result in the window sticking to the
jamb and should only be released by a qualified
technician trained in the procedure. Do not force,
pry, or apply great pressure to open the window.
Failure to heed this warning may cause the window
to shatter and/or cause personal injury.
Gravity Water Fill
The gravity water fill is behind the right-rear door.
Owners sometimes fill their tanks with “home” water to
avoid using water from sources that may be distasteful�
However, the more water you carry in the fresh water
tank, the less cargo carrying capacity you have for
other items�
Before filling, run water through your hose for a short
time and flush it out. To fill the tank:
1� Remove the cap and insert a high-pressure RV/
Marine FDA-approved drinking water hose of at
least ½-in� diameter made from material that is
tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic�
2� Turn the water on at the water source to fill the
tank� The small vent above the cap allows air to
expel from the tank when filling.
3� Use the multiplex panel home screen to monitor
the water level until the tank is full and shut the
water off�
CAUTION
Since the fresh water tank fill is essentially in the
interior of the unit. Please monitor the amount of
water you are putting into the tank to ensure that
you do not have overflow into the coach as this
could result in damage that cannot be covered by
warranty.
Water Service Compartment
Except for the Gravity Water Fill (shown left), the Water
Service Compartment contains all other exterior fresh
