The entry door is designed to provide security and comfort while traveling in the motorhome.
The entry door utilizes three separate locks for these reasons. The first locking system is the
door handle, the second is the independent deadbolt lock, the third lock is the automatic air
lock. When the motorhome shift selector is placed in DRIVE or REVERSE, the entry door will
automatically engage the air lock mechanism. This locks primary feature prevents accidental
opening of the entry door while in transit. Secondly, the lock also improves the seal around
the door, reducing wind and exterior noise from entering the motorhome while traveling. The
lock will automatically disengage when the shift selector is placed in the NEUTRAL position.
An audible noise will be heard when the air lock mechanism engages and disengages.
The entry door is equipped with a movable latch system. This latch system is designed to
keep the latch from binding if parked on an uneven surface causing the door to become
wedged within the door frame. The door latch also incorporates a primary and secondary
latching system. This ensures secure and safe latching.
NOTE: Separate keys for both the latch and deadbolt locks are provided. Keep a record
of the key numbers in a safe place, should it become necessary to have duplicates
made.
SCREEN DOOR
The screen door can be
used with the entry door, or
independently while parked.
A sliding panel on the
screen door permits access
to the latch handle on the
outer door to prevent
unnecessary handling of
both doors.
