SECTION 10
CAMPING & OPERATING

B
y purchasing your park trailer you have
entered into a lifestyle that encourages long-
lasting friendships. People who camp next to
one another for a few days are allowed the
unique opportunity to cultivate new
acquaintances and neighbors. Camping is a
great way to relax and enjoy the great
outdoors with your family and friends. Please
remember to tread lightly on our beautiful land
and leave only your footprints so that others
may enjoy nature as much as you did.
Searching for the right campground prior to
traveling might be the first step in selecting
your site. Some campgrounds accept
advance reservations (recommended
depending on your travel destination and the
season of the year, especially holidays). With
time, you will know what you are looking for
and what best fits your needs. A few items to
keep in mind when selecting your campsite
are:
Arrive before dark, if possible, to make the
site selection easier.
Is the ground level? This will help with
leveling your park trailer and making your
stay more comfortable.
Is there plenty of space?
Will it accommodate slideout, awnings,
etc.?
Is there room for picnic tables, lawn
chairs, campfire, etc.?
Is it void of hanging limbs that may
damage your unit?
Is it located in a convenient area?
Will you be able to park close enough to
hookups (water, sewer, electric)?
Are you away from noisy areas or things
that might detract from a positive
experience?
Is there plenty of shade? Is there good
drainage in case of bad weather?
Some campgrounds will post a set of rules for
you to see when you check in, but your fellow
campers will count on your basic good
manners and courtesy. Show respect to
others, don’t make shortcuts through
occupied campsites. Remember to keep your
campsite tidy. Put refuse in containers
provided for that purpose, and please avoid
contaminating any lake or stream. If you are
traveling with pets, we encourage you to
research the campground policy regarding
pets.

Proper care should be taken when planning to
use your park trailer in cold weather. Please
keep in mind that your park trailer was not
designed for use during sub-freezing weather.
When used in freezing or below freezing
temperatures, the following precautions need
to be taken:
□
More protection will be needed to protect
the fresh water and drainage systems to
avoid freezing problems (see
Winterizing
the Plumbing System
).
□
Propane and sufficient power is needed
for protection from possible freeze-ups on
the propane regulator. Keep in mind that
more frequent furnace operation will
substantially increase battery draw and
propane use.
□
During cool weather usage, ventilation or
the addition of a dehumidifier may be
required to reduce condensation (see
Condensation
).
□
Check outside extrusions on compartment
doors, locks, slide outs, windows, vents,
etc., for frozen moisture before operating
to avoid damage to parts.
Continuous living in your park trailer could
cause accelerated wear and damage to
component parts. Use of the park trailer
other than for its intended purpose of
recreational travel and camping may affect
your warranty coverage.
