48 • SECTION 2 --- DRIVING & SAFETY NEPTUNE 2004
Refueling:
• Truck stops are good refueling points for motorhomes.
• Know which side the fuel port is on. There may not be adequate space to
turn around in the parking lot to reposition for the pump.
• Check overhead clearance heights before pulling through the fuel island.
• Be aware of the concrete/steel posts installed around the fuel island.
• Avoid running over the fuel hose as it can get hung up on the motorhome,
causing body damage.
• Use of gloves is recommended for refueling. Store the gloves in the
outside compartment.
• To prevent grease and fuel deposits from being tracked into the
motorhome when refueling, change shoes before entering the motorhome.
Store the extra pair near the entry door.
WARNING: Avoid the risk of fire or explosion. Turn off all pilot lights
and appliances before entering a refueling station.
The following list highlights items that need to be checked on the
motorhome before traveling. Prior to departure several items will
need to be prepared. Some suggestions are listed below. Use the
lists as general guidelines when preparing to depart. By doing so,
there is a better chance of not facing problems during the trip. For
chassis maintenance details, please refer to the chassis section.

warning signs and a fire extinguisher.
