Living With Your Motor Home

Interior Lighting
Both decorative and ‘utility’ style 12-volt light-
ing 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. Clean the lens-
es with 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 con-
trols 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.
MONITOR PANEL
The monitor panel allows you to conveniently
check the approximate levels in the holding tanks,
Propane tank and to check battery condition (s) .
Electrical probes installed in the tanks measure
the levels at various points in the tanks.
To check tank levels:
Press PROPANE, FRESH WATER,
GRAY or BLACK TANK switches.
The E or empty indicator light will always
be lit when the rocker or touch switches are
depressed. If the tank is full, all lights will
be on. Lights are sequential, and indicate
levels in approximately 1/3 or 1/4-tank
increments depending on monitor or panel
design. It the tank selected is approxi-
mately 1/2-full, for example, lights E, 1/4
and 1/2 will be on.
Erroneous tank level indications can be
caused by:
a. Water with low mineral content. The level
is measured by a very low level electrical
signal traveling through the liquid. Some
NOTE
If the sensor probes mounted in the tanks get coated
with grease, the monitor panel may indicate falsely or
not at all. Avoid pouring grease, oils or similar sub -
stances down drains or the toilet. If this is unavoid -
able, the holding tank(s) should be washed out with
a soapy water solution. See your dealer for additional
information.

WARNING
Loose furniture must be secured before travel.
Failure to do so may result in injury or death in
the event of an accident or emergency maneuver.
!
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 origi-
nally installed or as indicated on the fixture. Follow
all manufacturers instructions when changing bulbs.
CAUTION
!
WARNING
When operating the on-board generator for electrical
power and using the overhead kitchen vent fan,
regardless of the outside temperature, open a
window “slightly”. This will reduce the chances of
drawing harmful Carbon Monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
