The RV furnace installed in the RV is
controlled by a thermostat. The furnace
requires both 12-volt power and propane gas
for full operation. Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating
your furnace If you have any questions
contact your dealer or Jayco Customer
Service.
A qualified RV technician should perform all
furnace maintenance at least once a year
(more often depending on furnace usage).
Never attempt to repair the furnace yourself.

The cargo ramp has a maximum weight
capacity of 2500# in the vehicle loading
mode, which is not necessarily the capacity of
the cargo bay. Do not exceed this maximum
weight rating at any time. The cargo ramp
door is spring assisted to aid in opening and
closing the ramp door.
To open the ramp door
Select a site for unloading that will provide a
level/flat surface for the ramp door to rest on.
Make sure the RV wheels are blocked to
prevent the trailer from moving. Make sure
there are no people, pets or equipment in the
way when opening the ramp door.
1. Lessen the transition angle between the
rear of the cargo floor and the cargo door
ramp by using the tongue jack to raise the
front of the trailer. To prevent damage to
the ramp door and extension ramp this
should be done prior to lowering the cargo
ramp door.
2. Unlock the exterior vise latches securing
the bar latch handles.
3. Push up on the bar latch handles that hold
the ramp door in place.
4. Move the bar latch handles to the outside
of the trailer to avoid contact when
opening the ramp door.
5. Using caution, pull the ramp door open.
Support the ramp door at all times and do
not let it drop to the ground.
The furnace should be inspected
periodically (monthly during the heating
season) for presence of soot on the vent.
Soot is formed whenever combustion is
incomplete. This is a visual warning that
the furnace is operating in an unsafe
manner. If soot is observed on the vent,
immediately shut the furnace OFF and
contact a qualified service agency.
Operating the furnace under this condition
could lead to serious property damage,
personal injury or loss of life. Do not load or unload your RV without first
blocking all wheels to prevent trailer
movement. Movement during loading or
unloading may cause the cargo ramp door
to shift and tongue jack to bend. Failure to
properly block wheels may result in the
loss of control, property damage, injury or
death.
To ensure your personal safety, do not
obstruct or alter the furnace in any manner.
Do not install screens over the vent for any
reason. Screens will become restricted and
cause unsafe furnace operation. For your
safety, only OEM factory authorized parts
are to be used on your furnace.
