mode, which is not necessarily the capacity of
the cargo bay. Do not exceed this maximum
weight rating at any time. The cargo ramp
door is spring assisted to aid in opening and
closing the ramp door.
To open the ramp door
Select a site for unloading that will provide a
level/flat surface for the ramp door to rest on.
Make sure the RV wheels are blocked to
prevent the trailer from moving. Make sure
there are no people, pets or equipment in the
way when opening the ramp door.
1. Lessen the transition angle between the
rear of the cargo floor and the cargo door
ramp by using the tongue jack to raise the
front of the trailer. To prevent damage to
the ramp door and extension ramp this
should be done prior to lowering the cargo
ramp door.
2. Unlock the exterior vise latches securing
the bar latch handles.
3. Push up on the bar latch handles that hold
the ramp door in place.
4. Move the bar latch handles to the outside
of the trailer to avoid contact when
opening the ramp door.
5. Using caution, pull the ramp door open.
Support the ramp door at all times and do
not let it drop to the ground.
The following label should remain
permanently attached to the transition ramp
plate:
Do not load or unload your RV without first
blocking all wheels to prevent trailer
movement. Movement during loading or
unloading may cause the cargo ramp door
to shift and tongue jack to bend. Failure to
properly block wheels may result in the
loss of control, property damage, injury or
death.

To close the ramp door
As the trailer is being loaded, make sure that
stored vehicle(s) and/or equipment do not
damage the ramp door seals. Remove any
debris (sand, snow, etc.) from around the
ramp door before closing it. To close the ramp
door, reverse the above listed process.
Secure the ramp door by locking the vice
latches.
Do not move the RV until the cargo ramp door
is secured. Inspect all ramp door components
each trip for wear or damage. For safety,
contact your RV dealer for a service
appointment if repairs are needed.

Make sure that all obstacles are removed
from the path of the screen wall. Grip the
strap attached to the screen wall pull bar and
pull down. Grasp the pull bar and continue
pulling the screen wall until it is completely
extended. The screen wall has a grabber
catch to secure it at the floor of the trailer. To
store the screen wall, pull up on the pull bar
handle to release it from the grabber catch
and push the screen up until it is fully
retracted.
To avoid damage to the screen wall and
possible injury, make sure it is fully
extended and snapped in place at the floor
when in use and fully retracted when not
in use.
Do not sleep in the cargo bay area while
internal combustion engines are being
operated, stored or transported in the RV.
Failure to comply may result in death or
serious injury.
