MOTORHOME INTERIOR 

 
 

Interior Cockpit Map Light 

 
The interior map lights (located on the overhead cabinet above the driver’s and passenger’s captain’s chairs) have a 2-
way switching system.  These map lights are wired into the headlight switch and are powered from the chassis battery 
only, not the auxiliary battery like the rest of the interior lights.  The first option is to have the headlight knob turned to 
the centre.  This will turn the map lights on.  When you open the doors to the motorhome these lights will come on and 
they will shut off when you shut the door.   The second option is to have the headlight knob turned all the way to the 
left - this lets you turn the map lights on and off by using the map light switch while the doors are closed.  

NOTE:

 Do 

not leave the knob in this position for an extended period of time if you are not driving, as this will drain and kill the 
chassis battery.  
 

Refrigerator - Dometic 

 
Your Dometic refrigerator is designed for 3-way operation, using 12-Volt DC, 110-Volt AC and LP gas power.  When 
the refrigerator is switched to AC or DC, the ammonia/water mixture is heated by a heating element instead of a burner. 
 
When your motorhome is stationary, it should be leveled for your refrigerator to provide the proper cooling.  A bubble 
level  should be placed on the freezer shelf to check the refrigerator for levelness.  If the refrigerator is not  level  you 
may have improper cooling. 
 
For  LP  gas  operation,  turn  the  selector  switch  to  gas  and  follow  the  instructions  on  the  fridge  for  lighting.    Turn  the 
fridge thermostat to the highest temperature that will still provide adequate refrigeration.  For 110-Volt AC operation, 
make  sure  the  power  cord  is  connected  and  switch  the  selector  switch  to  AC  power.    For  the  12-Volt  DC  operation 
setting, power is provided by the auxiliary battery.  However, the 12-Volt power should not be used when stationary in 
order to prevent battery drainage.   

NOTE:

 The refrigerator should be turned to 12-Volt  when the  vehicle  will be in 

motion and the LP gas must be turned off. 
 

NOTE:  

The DC or 12-Volt setting is for transportation purposes only.  It is recommended that if you are going to be 

stopped for more than a short period of time, you should switch your refrigerator to propane or an AC setting and plug 
into a 110-Volt supply.   
 

NOTE:   

Please  refer  to  the  manufacturer’s  operating  manual  for  complete  operating  instructions  and  maintenance 

procedures. 
 

NOTE:

    For  operating  instructions  for  the  remainder  of  your  appliances,  please  see  each  respective  manufacturers’ 

operating manuals.
