If the site for the motorhome has full hook-ups, use this quick reference hook-up checklist. This hook-up list
is only a guide. Not all instructions will apply due to options and floorplans. This checklist has information on
hooking up utilities and preparing appliances for use. Specific information on slide room and awning operations
is discussed in detail in other sections.
If applicable, unlock any travel locks which may be securing the slide room.
Check for lateral clearance before extending the slide-out room.
NOTE:
To operate any slide room: The ignition must be Off and the park brake must
be set.
CAUTION:
Do not remove cover from shore power supply to troubleshoot electricity to
the motorhome. Serious personal injury or death may occur. If there is no
power to the motorhome inform the park manager. It is the park manager’s
responsibility to fix any problems with the park’s shore hook up.
Open the propane tank primary shut off valve.
If possible, begin appliance operation on propane for the first 60 minutes. Switch
the refrigerator operation to gas, start the water heater and furnace (if needed).
Prepare the shore cord to be plugged in. Uncoil and inspect the cord. Perform necessary cord
maintenance. Install proper electrical adapters if anything other than 50 Amp service is provided. Turn
shore power circuit breaker OFF prior to plugging in the shore cord. Operate electrical appliances in
sequence when hooked to limited shore power service.
CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15 or 20 Amps, use of light duty extension cords and electrical
adapters will create a voltage loss through the cord and at each electrical connection. Line voltage
loss and the resistance at each electrical connection can be a hazardous combination. Damage to
sensitive electronic equipment may result!
If cable service is provided, hook-up a 75 Ohm RG59 or RG6 cable to the cable connection.
Hook the potable water hose to the water fill connection. Install a water pressure regulator to protect the
water hose from excess pressure.
NOTE:
Attach a water pressure regulator between the city water faucet and the potable fresh water hose
to protect the hose from swelling or bursting under high city water pressure. Securing the pressure
regulator to the hose with pliers will prevent the regulator from being misplaced.
Sewer drain pipe diameters are generally either three or four inches. Proper sewer hose adapters will
ensure against leaks or spillage. With the sewer hose properly connected, open the grey water valve
(small valve). The black water valve (large valve) remains closed until the tank is full or until time of
departure.
NOTE:
When dumping the black tank, first close the grey water valve and fill the tank 50%. Open black
tank valve until the drain cycle is complete. Use a non-potable water hose when using the black tank
flush system. Close the black tank valve, then open the grey water valve. Solids will flush from the
drain hose.
