Air Conditioner
Cooled air enters the RV through the 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.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for detailed safety and operating instructions.
Power Roof Vent
The 12-volt DC powered roof vent allows fresh air to circulate through the recreational ve-
hicle. Do not leave the attic fan open when the recreational vehicle 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.
To use your fan most effectively, close all vents and slightly open a window on a shaded side
of your recreation vehicle. You are directing the air flow by opening a window.
The roof vent is controlled by either a switch.
For additional safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
Timberline Furnace/Water Heater
Your recreational vehicle is equipped with a Timberline heat & hot water system.
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for detailed operating and safety information.
Timberline heat and hot water is generated by the Autoterm Binar Compact heating unit
made for the most adverse conditions. A heated glycol solution is circulated through the
interior of the living space through air handlers that provide radiant heat. The glycol is also
circulated through an instantaneous water heat exchanger which produces hot water. By us-
ing the diesel or gasoline burner along with the 110V electric element, it provides efficient
comfort whether dry camping or plugged into shore power.
Maintenance
Hydronic System

The glycol system does not require annual maintenance.

It is recommended to test the alkalinity in the system coolant annually.
Scalding injuries caused by hot water!

Water temperatures over 125 ºF (49 ºC) can cause severe burns or scald-
ing and in extreme cases even death.

Before using a hot water faucet or using the shower, mix with cold wa-
ter and allow the hot water to run until the water temperature no longer
increase.
Damage to the furnace caused by freezing!

Water in pipes, faucets and appliances could freeze. Considerable dam-
age may result.

Damage from freezing is not covered by the limited warranty
