Appliances
For best performance, park the motor home in
the shade and close curtains. Close doors and
windows and turn the temperature control knob
for desired coolness. Refer to the air conditioner
manufacturer’s instructions for detailed operat-
ing and preventive maintenance requirements.
Remember that air conditioners use a large por-
tion of your available electric power.
See the
Electrical System
chapter for operating
details on the
Fleetwood Climate Control System
.
Experience has shown that some RV parks may
experience reduced power (low voltage) on days
with high heat or humidity, commonly referred
to as a “brown out.” This condition may result
in the air conditioner circuit breaker tripping in
your power distribution center. This protects
your air conditioner motor from damage and is
necessary during low voltage conditions. This
breaker tripping is sometimes perceived as a
fault in your motor home, but it is a necessary
“safety valve.”
TELEVISIONS AND DVD PLAYERS
(If Equipped)
All televisions and DVD players are set up to
operate on a 120-volt AC power source. This
source can be from the generator, shore cord or
inverter.
ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT
If additional equipment requiring 12-volt power
is installed in the motor home. Obtain the 12-
volt source from a properly fused battery circuit.
Consult an authorized Fleetwood dealer before
adding any additional equipment to your motor
home.
VIDEO EQUIPMENT
Video equipment can operate from inverter power
or when the motor home is connected to 120-volt
power from either a public utility or a generator.
VIDEO CONTROL CENTER
The video control center, located in the front
overhead, allows routing of the antenna, cable,
satellite, or DVD signals to both the front and
the rear TV’s independent of each other. You
can also use the control center to record signals
from the antenna, cable, satellite and DVD
(except copy protected material).
TV ANTENNA
The roof-mounted antenna is designed for
reception of VHF and UHF television signals.
Before traveling, remember to lower the antenna
and secure it to prevent damage to the antenna,
motor home roof, or objects in the path of the
antenna, such as overhead wires.
Do not travel
with the antenna raised.
Antenna Operating Instructions
Before raising antenna, check for clearance
above vehicle.
1. To raise the antenna to operating position,
turn crank toward UP until you feel resist-
ance. Switch the TV power ON.
2. To rotate antenna, pull down on rotating
knob with both hands until it disengages the
ceiling plate. Turn the antenna for best pic-
ture and sound. Do not rotate the antenna
except in the full UP position.
3. To lower the antenna, first rotate it to align
the pointer on the ceiling plate. Then turn
the crank toward the down position; stop
when resistance is felt. Never lower the
antenna to any position without first align-
ing the pointer.
4.
Do not force the antenna
.
NOTE
Your motor home may be equipped with a ceiling-
ducted air conditioning system. For most efficient
operation, adjust each vent so that is completely
open. If you change the vent opening to regulate air
flow try not to restrict the vent opening to below 70%
open. Restricting air flow below this opening will affect
the efficiency of the air conditioner.
