EquIpMENT - INTRODucTION
This section covers basic operation and care
of various types of equipment found in the
recreational vehicle. More detailed information
about specific equipment may be found in each
OEM product manual. Optional equipment
will also be discussed which may not apply to
all recreational vehicles.
INFORMATION:
Detailed information with CAUTION
or WARNING instructions for the
various electronics, other than what is
provided in this section, can be found
in the OEM manuals.
ENTRY STEp
Operation
Entry steps are stored under the recreational
vehicle during travel. Extend the steps by
pulling the assembly out from under the
vehicle. Roll the bottom step out and down. To
store the step assembly fold the steps and push
the assembly under the recreational vehicle.
Lubricating the Mechanism:
Lubricate the mechanism every 30 to 60
days.
Carefully clean the area around the
pivot points (the rivets involved in the
motion of the
mechanism).

After cleaning, lubricate the pivot
points between the parts (to pinpoint
this area locate the washer between
the parts). An automotive grade, non-
staining lubricant is recommended.
CAUTION:
To prevent the possibility of slipping
on the entry step avoid excess
lubricant on the surface of the entry
step itself. Carefully clean the entire
entry step after lubricating the
mechanism.
NOTE:
Silicone lubricants and WD-40 are not
recommended as they have a tendency
to evaporate and dry the matting
surfaces which leaves them vulnerable
to the elements.
Covering Nicks & Scratches:
Seal a nick or scratch with automotive
grade primer to prevent rust.
Once the nick or scratch has been
sealed, cover the damaged area with an
automotive grade or high-gloss paint.
WARNING:
If the recreational vehicle is
transported with the step in the
extended position there is the
possibility of causing major damage
to both the step and the recreational
vehicle.
ENTRY DOOR
The door uses two separate locks for
personal safety and security. The door handle
incorporates a primary and secondary latching
system.



One locking
system is the
door handle
and the other
is a dead bolt.
However,
keeping the
entry door in
good operating
condition
requires
some routine
maintenance on a
regular basis.
Adjustments
The following adjustments can help maintain
entry door performance.
Strike Plate Adjustment: Door alignment
and strike plate adjustment is set at the factory.
The position of the strike plate in the frame
relative to the lock may change over time and
require adjustment. To adjust the strike plate,
loosen the two Phillips head screws holding
the strike plate to the door frame. Move the
plate in or out as needed to maintain a proper
seal when the door is closed.
CAUTION:
If strike plate screws are loosened too
far, the backer plate will fall between
the door frame and wall opening.
Should this happen, replace the short
screws with a screw long enough to go
through the door frame and into the
frame work of the sidewall.
