If the system squeaks or makes any noises, it is permissible to apply a think coat of
lightweight oil to the drive shaft and roller areas. Remove any excess oil so that dirt
and debris cannot build up.
The hide-a-bed sofa is very similar to the one that you would find in a home. To open
into a bed, and pull off all cushions, pull the handle located on the top of the mattress up
and out. The bed will pull out to reach a full bed size, so check to make sure that there
is adequate room before opening the bed. Use the bed as you would a normal bed. To
replace the bed back to the sofa position, reverse the procedure and push the bed both
in and away from the front of the sofa.
Some Damon models may have a sofa bed. To convert the sofa into a bed, pull bench
out and up. To convert back into a sofa, reverse procedure.
Some Damon bedroom doors slide conveniently out of the way beside the wall. Damon
provides a vinyl travel strap or a slide latch to secure the door while the motorhome is in
motion. The door latch is a bayonet type, which is engaged by turning the handle. Some
models have an accordion type door which latches to the wall when the door is closed.
Your motorhome may have day/night shades, which are designed to serve a dual
purpose. For daytime use, pull down the bottom half of the light colored shade which
allows light to enter the motorhome while affording some privacy. For night use, or to
shut light out and increase your privacy, pull the top, darker part of the shade down.
For your comfort we have 13,500 BTU Carrier air conditioners some with heat pumps.
There is a remote control for the air conditioners for your convenience. This remote also
controls the furnace. Simply point to the A/C, press heat on the remote and set your
degree of comfort level.
The hot water heater start switch is located on the wall in the galley, bathroom, or monitor
panel area. The light illuminates when the switch is turned on. The light goes off when
the burner is on and the water is heating. If the light comes back on, the burner is not yet
lit. It may take several tries to light the water heater burner. When the element is turned
on the red light will glow. Be sure the tank is full of water before using.
For your convenience, there is plenty of storage above and around the range area
for canned goods, kitchen utensils, etc. Please ensure that the doors are closed and
latched before traveling to prevent the contents from falling out.
