SECTION 11
CAMPING & OPERATING
76
The BBQ grill is for use outside of the RV.
Never use this grill inside a compartment or
the RV. Before operating the BBQ grill, make
sure that it is securely placed on the support
bracket. The BBQ grill must be
COMPLETELY cooled before storing to avoid
damaging the carrying case (if so equipped)
and causing injury from handling the grill
when it is hot. Wait until the grill is completely
cooled, then store it.
Attaching the “quick coupler” connection
The “quick coupler” is directly connected to
the RV propane system. The “quick-coupler”
connection has a positive shut-off valve as
required by code and standards.
1. Place the “quick coupler handle in the
OFF position and push back the sleeve.
The valve handle must be OFF to make
the connection.
2. Insert the plug and release the sleeve.
3. Push the plug until the sleeve snaps
forward, locking the plug into the socket.
4. Turn the handle ON to allow propane to
flow to the drop in stove.

Vitco grills only
The carrying case will ONLY accommodate a
cool grill. The grill carrying case has a pocket
for accessories such as the propane hose in
the lid. The bracket will not fit inside the
carrying case and will need to be stored in a
separate location. Sanitize the detachable
tray before using it.
BBQ Grill Prep (if so equipped)
Your RV is equipped with a propane “quick-
coupler” connection and support bracket for
easy installation of the BBQ grill.

All heat discharges, registers and return air
grills must be free and clear of obstructions.
This includes all closeable registers that are
intended to reduce airflow, not shut it off
completely.

The 12-volt DC attic fan (or powered roof
vent) allows fresh air to circulate through the
RV.
Do not leave the attic fan open when the RV
is stored or unattended for long periods. High
winds, other unusual conditions or
obstructions may prevent the dome from
closing; the resulting leakage could cause
non-warrantable damage.

There are may be up to two 12-volt DC
thermostats in your RV. Use the controls to
set the temperature to your comfort setting.

Your RV has a roof mounted air conditioning
system that is controlled by a thermostat.
Cooled air enters the RV through the
adjustable “chill grill.” Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating the
air conditioner. Do not operate the air
conditioner without the return air filter.
Operating the system without the filter allows
the lint and dirt that is normally stopped by the
filter to accumulate on the cooling coil of the
air conditioner. This also will lead to a loss of
air volume, possible equipment damage and
an expensive cleaning process.
A special foam gasket is placed between the
roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
The air conditioner is subjected to wind
pressures along with motor vibration during
normal operation. Inspect the mounting bolts
for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Re-tighten bolts
when they are loose. DO NOT over tighten
these bolts as it may damage this gasket. The
air conditioner gasket is a wearable part that
eventually will need to be replaced s
maintenance. To gain access to the bolts,
remove the filtered panel cover on central air
systems or the entire air box on non-central
air conditioners.
