Section 2: Occupant Safety

Cold Weather Usage
When used in freezing or below freezing temperatures, the precautions should be taken:
Fresh water and drainage systems - preparations to avoid freeze-ups.
Propane gas (if so equipped) and sufficient power is needed for protection from
possible freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator. Keep in mind that more frequent
furnace operation will substantially increase battery draw and propane gas use.
During cool weather usage, ventilation or addition of a dehumidifier may be re
-
quired to reduce condensation.
Check outside extrusions on compartment doors, locks, slide outs, windows,
vents, etc., for frozen moisture before operating to avoid damage to parts.
Continuous or permanent living in your recreation vehicle may affect your
warranty coverage and may void the “Limited Warranty” applicable to your
vehicle.
Condensation
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with climate
conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there is water
vapor present in the air. When the temperature reaches the “dew point” the water vapor in
the air condenses and changes to a liquid form.
Proper ventilation or the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist in controlling
the condensation. Suggestions to eliminate warm moist air:
Crack open windows and roof vents to allow warm moist air to escape.
Open the bath roof vent (if so equipped) approximately ½” when showering.
Use the range hood fan (if so equipped) when cooking or washing dishes.
Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes) inside the recreation vehicle to dry.
If found in cabinets or closets, open the doors slightly to provide ventilation.
Condensation may cause dampness, mildew, mold, staining and, if allowed to
continue, it may result in damage to the recreation vehicle (damage caused by
condensation is not warrantable). It can also lead to mold or mildew issues,
which could be a health hazard.
Condensation - Tent Models Only
When camping leave a small opening us-
ing each bunk zipper to permit air flow
and allow the tent to “breathe”. This will
help minimize moisture gathering above
the bunk area on the vinyl.
