• Motorhomes are built on a larger chassis than cars, and you will sit higher off the
road.
• The chassis wheel base is longer and the “house” portion of the RV is longer. This
requires more space to turn and change lanes during travel.
• The motorhome is heavier than a passenger vehicle. The additional weight requires a
longer distance to pass another vehicle and to stop the motorhome.
• Always use your turn signals when changing lanes.
BACK UP CAMERA (SOME MODELS)
Your motorhome may have a camera mounted on it to view directly behind the unit when
backing. Not all motorhomes have this option available. If your unit has this feature, a
monitor is installed on the back of the driver’s seat sun visor or the rear view mirror. The
monitor is operational whenever the motorhome engine is running. To use the monitor, flip
the switch from stand-by to on. Make sure you turn the monitor to stand-by while driving to
avoid being distracted. Consult with your independent, authorized dealer if you have
further questions.
POWER MIRRORS (SOME MODELS)
Your motorhome may be equipped with power mirrors as standard or
optional equipment. This feature is not available on all motorhomes.
If your unit has this equipment, a control panel is placed in the
mounting panel of the mirror on the driver's side. The system is
powered by 12-volt DC with fuse located under the dash, 1-amp in
line.
To Operate:
1. The top switch turns the mirrors on and allows you to adjust them as needed.
2. With the top switch ON (Fig. 7), you are able to adjust one mirror at a time. In the
middle of the bottom switch, move the R/L tab to select the mirror you wish to
move. When R is visible, you are adjusting the right mirror, and when L is visible,
you are adjusting the left mirror.
3. Press an arrow in the direction you wish to move the mirror.
4. Place the R/L tab in the middle position, so both letters are showing, and turn off
the top switch when not adjusting the mirrors.
ELECTRIC DOOR STEP (STANDARD ON SOME MODELS)
Your motorhome may be equipped with electric door steps. Make sure that you read,
understand and follow all information for operation supplied by the step manufacturer with
your unit. If you have further questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer
and/or visit the step manufacturer’s website at
The electric door step opens automatically when the screen door is opened. Constant
12-volt power to the electric step is supplied through a 20-amp circuit breaker located
under the hood near the auxiliary start solenoid.
I
CAUTION: When opening the door from the outside, ensure that you
are not in the path of the step.
