GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains warranty information and knowledge for the
operation and care of the motorhome. Not all information may be applicable
to your model of motorhome. More detailed information with CAUTION or
WARNING instructions, other than what is found in this chapter, can be
found in the manufacturer's owner manuals located in the owner information
box.
Changes, additions and supplemental information in the form of Manual
Addendums can be obtained by visiting our Website at
www.monacocoach.com. Select one of the products from the product lineup.
Go to the Service menu. A submenu will appear. Browse our other product
lines Technical Tips. These Tips may not completely apply to your particular
model but information contained therein can be useful.
In time you will develop a knack for spotting wonderful little roadside
locations by turning off the main highway and exploring. There are many
modern recreational vehicle parks (including state, county and federal parks)
with good facilities where you can obtain hook-ups for electrical, water and
sewage connections. Directories are published which describe these parks
and the availability of services and hook-ups. On overnight or weekend trips,
chances are you will probably not fill up the sewage holding tanks, deplete
the water or LP-Gas supply, or run down the batteries which supply the
living area with 12 Volt DC current. On longer trips, when you have stayed
where sewer connections and utility hook-ups were not available, it will be
necessary to occasionally empty the holding tanks and replenish the water
and LP-Gas supply.
Many gas stations have installed sanitary dumping stations. Publications
are available which list these dumping stations. When stopped for the night,
the motorhome is built to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level
and where the ground is firm. Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible.
Your facilities are with you and the motorhome is fully self-contained.
Many of the safety alert symbols are "Personal Safety Instructions."
Definitions for the symbols are located on a previous page under "Safety
Symbol Legend." It is important to thoroughly read and understand these
safety instructions where the symbols are displayed throughout the manual.
Failure to comply with specific instructions may result in personal injury or
death. Many instructions are required by National Safety Associations.
