HITCH
Your motorhome is designed to be a recreation vehicle, however it does have towing capabilities as
well as limitations. A class 3 hitch receiver is available with a 3,500# (1588 kilograms) gross weight
capacity. A variety of extender bars of different ratings are available. Remember the limit of weight
on the hitch and chassis.
The above warning label is attached to your motorhome on the exterior near the hitch receiver bar
and in the interior adjacent to or immediately below the RVIA Weight Information Label. This is
typically on the backof an interior cabinet door in the kitchen. For your safety, please review and
understand all towing and braking capacities of your vehicle. For added information, consult with
your chassis dealer or manufacturer.
EXTERIOR PRIVACY SHIELD
An optional privacy shield is available for the motorhome. Use of the privacy shield will allow full
access to the cab area from the inside while providing privacy inside the vehicle. This privacy shield
hooks over the passenger and driver side doors and is notched out to accommodate the side mirrors.
To secure the privacy shield in place, there are magnets sewn into the canvas for attaching it to the
metal cab. The windshield wipers will also help to hold it in place.
RV DIGITAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
The satellite system in the RV is similar to the satellite system in your home.
The digital elevation sensor switch (Fig. 7-16) is located in the ceiling of your
motorhome. Refer to the detailed instructions provided by the manufacturer for
additional information.
BACK UP CAMERA
Your motorhome may have a camera mounted on it to view
directly behind the unit when backing. A monitor is installed on
the backof the driver’s seat sun visor. The monitor is operational
whenever the motorhome engine is running. To use the monitor,
flip the switch from stand-by to on. (Fig. 7-17) Make sure you
turn the monitor to stand-by while driving to avoid being
distracted.
