REFUELING YOUR TOW VEHICLE
•
Stop the vehicle prior to entering the fuel station and turn off the propane gas supply valve at the propane tank. Turn
off all propane appliances, extinguish all open flames, and verify all pilot lights are off.
•
Do not smoke cigarettes, cigars, or pipes in any area around the fuel fill station.
•
Use caution when entering a fuel filling station. Certain stations may not have adequate height or length clearances
for your tow vehicle and trailer.
•
Be careful to avoid collision with the posts which typically surround the fuel island.
•
Verify the back corner of the trailer has cleared all obstacles at the fuel pump area prior to turning sharply. Failure
to heed this warning may cause damage to the fuel pump and the trailer.
Turn off the propane gas supply valve at the propane tank. Turn off all propane appliances,
extinguish all open flames, and verify all pilot lights are off. Do not smoke in the area of a fuel
pump. Failure to extinguish all flames and potential spark sources prior to refueling of gasoline,
diesel, or propane may result in serious injury or death.
CONDENSATION AND HUMIDITY
The smaller interior volume and sealed construction of your RV means that you must manage the interior humidity levels.
Uncontrolled humidity or moisture generated by bathing, cooking, and even normal breathing can dramatically increase the
interior humidity levels to the point where condensation appears on interior surfaces of the RV. Some studies suggest two
occupants can generate more than a gallon of moisture daily from normal activities. Extreme situations may result in
condensation or water dripping from the ceiling and other interior surfaces. Following the tips below will greatly assist in
reducing excessive condensation to the ideal levels of 35% humidity typically required to prevent condensation on the
windows.
1.
Use roof vent or range hood vent during shower use or cooking.
2.
Do not hang wet clothes inside the RV to dry.
3.
Use of roof air conditioner will assist in removing excessive humidity.
4.
Allow air to circulate inside the RV. For example, open doors to wardrobe to allow air circulation to the exterior
wall.
5.
Open a roof vent or window if the exterior air is less humid than the interior air.
6.
Avoid drastic and abrupt changes in furnace thermostat settings.
7.
Use the least amount of water possible when cleaning the interior of the RV.
8.
Maintain exterior sealants.
9.
Open a vent or window slightly when storing the RV.
10.
Immediately clean and dry all water spills inside the RV.
11.
Use a portable dehumidifier.
Failure to control excessive humidity can result in damage to the RV which may not be covered by the warranty terms. It is
recommended the humidity levels be monitored with a basic hygrometer available at you local building supply store or
department store.
NOTE: Your RV is NOT intended for use as a permanent or long term dwelling. Damage or premature
deterioration of the RV due to long term occupancy may be considered misuse or abuse under the terms of the
limited warranty and may be subject to reduction of warranty coverage or denial of warranty coverage.
