1. Level the Motorhome:
Follow procedures and guidelines
z
for extending the slideout rooms
in section 5 “Slideout Operation”
then
“ Leveling the Motorhome ”
in
Section 5. When using the hydraulic
jacks confirm that the parking
surface will accommodate the
weight placed on the jacks.
2. Hook up utilities and prepare
appliances for use:
Open the primary propane valve on
z
the propane tank.
Prepare the shore cord for connection.
z
Uncoil and inspect the cord. Install
proper electrical adapters if 50 Amp
service is not available. Operate
electrical appliances in sequence
when hooked to limited shore power
service. Turn shore power circuit
breaker OFF prior to plugging in the
shore cord.
If hooked to less than 50 Amp
z
service, operate appliances in
sequence rather than at the same
time to avoid shore power overload.
Start the water heater and furnace (if
needed).
NOTE:
If shore power is less
than what is rated
for the motorhome,
electrical adapters
will be required and
power consumption
must be reduced to
avoid tripping the
shore power breaker.
CAUTION:
Do not remove cover from the
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 power pedestal
at the site.
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 or an
electrical fire may result.
NOTE:
To avoid shore power overload when
hooked to 30 Amp service, determine
appliance current load prior to turning
on appliances or using interior outlets.
A phone connection port is provided in
z
the water service compartment. Phone
utility outlets are placed throughout the
motorhome, including a phone line to be
attached to a satellite receiver for
Pay-Per-View movies and events.
Hook the potable water hose to the city
z
water connection in the water service
center.
Hook-up the sewer
z
hose. 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
(liquid waste drain). The
black water valve (solid
waste drain) remains
closed until the tank
is full or until time of
departure.
