SECTION 11
CAMPING & OPERATING
pantry are secured so they do not shift during
travel. The cabinetry has been designed to
accommodate the normal camping items (i.e.,
paper plates, flatware, cookware, etc.) which
are bulky but not necessarily heavy.
Remember your RV’s load capacity is
designed by weight, not volume, so you
cannot necessarily use all available space.

)
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.

WNING
(
IF SO EQUIPPED
)
Please refer to the awning OEM operator’s
manual. Keep your awning in good condition
to prevent costly repairs. It is very important to
keep the awning clean. If weather conditions
are windy or stormy, close the awning into the
travel mode position. Shut the awning in the
travel position if you will be away from the RV
for an extended period of time.
The 12-volt power awning (if so equipped)
may need to be adjusted (retracted) to
operate the entry door (some models)

ENTS
Your RV is equipped with air vents in the
sidewall of the cargo bay area. These air
vents are designed for airflow and ventilation
when there is fuel powered equipment
present in the cargo bay. These air vents
must remain open any time equipment is
loaded on the trailer, including during travel.
Make sure that you read, understand and
follow all information supplied with your RV
about propane before operating the BBQ
grill. The propane hose must be correctly
connected before lighting the grill. Failure
to follow instructions supplied by the grill
manufacturer with your RV or to use any
other components than those originally
supplied with the grill could lead to death
or serious injury from fire or explosion.
Awnings must be closed (and locked if
applicable) while the RV is in transit.
The maximum weight limit for the bracket
on the side of your trailer is 50 lbs. This
limit includes the weight placed on the
BBQ gill. Exceeding this weight limit could
cause damage to the unit and possibly
cause personal injury from hot equipment.
