Living With Your RV
Wall-Hugger Recliners
The wall hugger recliners may need to be pulled away from the wall slightly to avoid rubbing. You will
find the reclining levers just between the seat cushions and arm rest on either side. Additionally the
center armrest opens up to provide storage for remotes, etc.
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS
Exterior
All of the exterior storage compartments have locking latches except for the Propane tank compartment
on fifth−wheel models. Fire prevention safety regulations require that the Propane tank compartment be
unlocked at all times.
Please note:
Your RV could be overloaded or put out of balance if not properly loaded. Refer to the
’
Loading Your RV’
section of this manual, and follow the loading and weighing instructions provided.
When storing equipment and supplies:
Always keep tools and equipment stored in areas where they will not shift while traveling.
Whenever possible, place heavy objects in storage compartments which are low and in the best
location for weight distribution. Pack objects carefully in the storage compartments to minimize
shifting. If necessary, use straps to prevent movement.
Be sure liquid containers are capped and cannot tip or spill.
Exterior storage compartments may not be watertight in all conditions. Carry any articles which
could be damaged by water on the interior of the RV.
Interior
Interior storage compartments must be properly loaded to minimize doors and drawers coming open
while traveling. Items will shift and can cause damage if allowed to fall out of cabinets. Doors and
drawers have latches that will retain in the closed position under normal circumstances, however if
drawers are overloaded, they may slide open while turning corners. Additionally, traveling along rough
country back roads may cause doors and drawers to open as well.
Many pantry cabinets serve dual purpose and include shelving that can be removed to convert to a
wardrobe to hang clothing.
Bunk Area Storage (If Equipped)
Bunk model RVs include storage space at the lower bunk area accessible from the exterior of the RV.
This storage may be utilized to store bulkier cargo such as bicycles and lawn chairs, etc. To maximize
this storage space, first open the exterior compartment door. Then raise the lower bunk pad and
platform. Latch the platform into place (if equipped).
Do not store flammable liquids or hazardous
chemicals inside the RV or any of its exterior storage compartments. Toxic fumes from these liquids
or chemicals may enter the interior of your RV.
Attaching Accessories To Walls Or Cabinets
We do not recommend drilling, screwing or riveting any wall hanging fasteners to your RV. There is a
likelihood of damaging wires, or water lines contained within walls. Be advised that the use of 'sticky-
back' adhesives fasteners, tapes, or glues may damage the panel surface beyond repair. Any damage to
your RV due to the fastening of items to the RV will not be covered under warranty.
