Several keys are provided when you
purchase your RV. Most keys have an
individual key number stamped on the plate.
Record these key numbers and keep the
information in safe place. You can order a key
blank from your RV dealer to have duplicate
keys made. If you lose the keys, contact your
RV dealer or a locksmith for assistance.
Make sure the keys are not inside the RV
before you close and lock the entrance
door.

The entrance door is located on the curbside
of the RV. Always hold onto the entrance door
when opening or closing it as damage caused

warrantable.
BE SAFE, LOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR
EXITING YOUR RV!

The hide-a-bed sofa functions much the same
as a regular residential hide-a-bed sofa. To
make the hide-a-bed sofa into a bed, remove
the seat cushions and pull the sofa back
towards you firmly and gently. Activate (or
deflate) the air mattress using the supplied
furniture manufacturer’s instructions. To
convert the hide-a-bed back into the upright
sofa position, reverse the process .

The J-steel sofa functions much the same as
a residential futon. To make the J-steel sofa
in to a bed, lift up on the bottom seat cushion
and pull it towards you. The sofa back will
drop down to provide a sleeping surface.
For additional comfort and to reduce fabric
damage, you may want to place a cover or air
mattress (customer supplied) over the J-steel
sofa when it is in the sleeping position.

The free-standing dinette table can be
positioned to seat up to four people. To
prevent damage, the standard free-standing
dinette chairs should be fastened securely at
the dinette table when you are traveling

INETTE

The dinette is designed to seat up to four
adults. You can access the dinette bench
storage by removing all the cushions and
lifting the bottom seat supports. If the dinette
bottom seat support is screwed shut, it is to
protect factory-installed equipment (do not
use that area for storage). To convert back to
a booth dinette, reverse the process.
The booth dinette can be converted into a
bed. To convert, remove all the cushions from
the booth dinette. Lift the tabletop, remove the
detachable table legs and place the tabletop
on the ledges provided between the booth
dinette benches. Lay the seat back cushions
against the back of the booth dinette bench.
Lay the dinette seat bottom cushions in
between the seat back cushions. The area
where the cushions meet should be slightly
raised. Push the raised cushion ends down
gently. The cushions are designed to fit
snugly. Reverse this process when converting
back to the booth dinette.
U-shaped dinette (if
so equipped)
The dinette ends pull
out to provide storage.
To convert the u-
shaped dinette into a
sleeping area, install
and secure the bed
insert.
Make sure the entrance door is completely
closed and locked when traveling. Locking
the door helps prevent it from opening
unintentionally.
