Interior Lighting
Both decorative and ‘utility’ style 12-volt
lighting fixtures may be used in your
motor home. Utility style fixtures may be
either single or dual. A slide switch selects
either single or dual brightness. For your
convenience, some lights are operated from
wall switches. Light lenses may be cleaned
with a damp cloth & soapy water.
Overhead Vents
Overhead vents may be located in the galley
and bathroom areas for fresh air circulation and
exhausting heat, odors and water vapor.
Turn the crank in the center of the overhead
vent to open and adjust. Some vents may also be
equipped with a 12-volt fan. A switch controls
fan operation. Be sure to turn the fan OFF
before closing the vent. Some vents may be
connected to a wall switch.
Close the overhead vents or lower them before
traveling to avoid damage from wind and low
overhead clearances.
The vent may be cleaned from the top of the
motor home. Use soapy water on the vent
cover. The screens may be vacuumed or
lightly brushed to remove accumulation of
leaves or other debris.
Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with
a light, water resistant grease.
Folding Chairs
(If Equipped)
In some models, folding chairs are provided
for your convenience. Store these chairs in an
appropriate compartment when traveling to
avoid personal injury or damage .
Free-Standing Furniture
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with
free- standing furniture. American Coach has
designed retention hardware which will secure
any loose furniture during travel. Always secure
any furniture or loose articles before moving
the motor home. Failure to do so could result in
damage to your furniture and motor home, as
well as result in personal injury or death in the
event of an accident or emergency maneuver.
CAUTION
Some of the lighting fixtures may be equipped with
halogen bulbs. The bulbs and fixtures may get very
hot when they are on. Do not touch these lighting
fixtures when they are on. Allow them to cool before
attempting to replace a bulb or to clean. Replace
all light bulbs with the same type and wattage as
originally installed or as indicated on the fixture.

WARNING
Do not sit on folding chairs while the vehicle is in
motion. Personal injury may result.
