Fuel economy depends on many factors. Your
driving habits can significantly affect your fuel
economy. Some recommendations for
achieving maximum fuel economy are shown:
0
When pulling away from traffic lights or
stop signs, accelerate slowly and
smoothly.
0
When parked even for a short time, do not
idle the engine, shut it off.
0
Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary
stops.
0
Keep your tires inflated to the
recommended pressures.
0
Keep your motorhome “tuned-up.” An
out-of-tune engine wastes fuel and costs
you money.
0
Keep your air cleaner clean and your
motorhome lubricated according to the
recommendations in this manual and the
Chassis Guide.
0
Do not overload your motorhome or tow
heavy loads.

To avoid breathing exhaust gases, follow
these precautions:
0
Do not run the engine in confined areas,
such as a closed garage, any longer than
needed to move your motorhome in or out
of the area.
0
Windows should be closed while driving or
running the generator to avoid drawing
dangerous exhaust gases into the
motorhome.
0
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the passenger compartment,
have the cause determined and corrected
as soon as possible. If you must drive
under these circumstances, close all the
windows, and adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into the
motorhome (set the blower on high
speed).
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the RV is a properly maintained
ventilation system and an active carbon
monoxide alarm. To allow for proper operation
of the RV ventilation system, keep the
ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
Maintenance
It is recommended that the exhaust system
and vehicle body be inspected by a qualified
motorhome service center.
0
Each time the engine is ready for an oil
change.
0
Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust is noticed.
0
Whenever the exhaust system, underbody
or rear of the vehicle is damaged.
