TRAVEL TRAILER FEATURES
Dinette Conversion (with built in table):
To convert the dinette into a bed:
1)
Remove cushions.
2)
Lift table, reach underneath and fold or remove the table legs and store.

short table leg to help support the table top in the bed position.
4)
Slide seat and back cushion into place over the bed base.
Entry & Screen Doors
The main entry door uses a latching system similar to that used in automobiles. It has a
secondary latch as well as a primary latch. When closing the door, be sure to close it firmly to
engage the primary latch this will ensure that the door is fully closed. When travelling always
lock the deadbolt. The screen door may be separated from the main entry door by depressing the
catch.
Interior Lighting
Both decorative and “utility” style 12-volt lighting fixtures may be used in your travel trailer.
Utility style fixtures may either be single or dual. For your convenience, some lights are
operated from wall switches. Clean the light lenses with soapy water.
WARNING!
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 the bulb or to clean the fixture. Replace all light bulbs
with the same type and wattage as originally installed or as indicated on the fixture.
Monitor Panel
Your trailer has electrical panel(s) that can provide you with important information about various
systems on the RV including the condition of your batteries. The panel is most often located
above the stove or above the entrance door or on the hallway wall (slide models). The monitor
panel will give you an approximate indication pertaining to the following:
¾
How much potable (fresh) water remains,
¾
How full your black (sewage) tank is,
¾
How full your grey (waste water) is,
¾
How much LP gas is in your LP tank, (
We’ve never seen this monitor)
¾
How much charge your house battery has,
¾
Generator hour meter, if equipped,
¾
Pump indicator,
¾
Hot water indicator.
Erroneous indications can be caused by:
¾
Water with high or low mineral content.
¾
Materials such as cooking greases, oils or algae trapped on the sides of the holding tanks may
give false readings. There are many commercial products available to remove these
contaminants from the tanks.
