INSURANCE

coverages for personal liability, theft, collision, property damage, etc. Your dealer will assist you
in obtaining appropriate insurance for your protection or you may check with the company which
provides your automobile insurance.
EXTENDED USE
This motorhome has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not intended to be used
as full-time living quarters.
#
CAUTION: Continuous living in your motorhome could cause accelerated wear and
damage to components.
COLD WEATHER USE
• Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and draining systems to avoid freezing
problems. Consult your local dealer or RV supply house for additional material.
• Adequate gas and electrical supply is needed along with protection from possible freeze-ups
on the gas regulator.
• During cold weather usage, ventilation or the addition of a dehumidifier may be required to
reduce condensation. Reference "Condensation."
CONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with the climate
conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there is water vapor
present in the air, which each of us adds by breathing, bathing and cooking. The water vapor
collects where there is available air space, and when the temperature reaches the 'dew point' the
water vapor in the air condenses and changes to liquid form. Most people have experienced a
similar phenomenon when moisture forms on kitchen windows and bathroom mirrors during cool
weather.
Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier will assist in controlling the
condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers especially sized for
recreation use. Condensation causes dampness, mildew, staining and if allowed to continue at high
levels will cause damage to the motorhome.
