Overheating
If the engine overheats while driving, follow these steps:
•
Pull to the side of the road and stop immediately.
•
Shut off the engine.
•
Check coolant level in the coolant recovery tank.
The coolant level should be between the “FULL”
and “ADD” marks on the tank.
•
If the coolant level is low, proceed as follows:
o
Check for visible leaks from the hose
connections, radiator and water pump.
o
Make sure the belts are tight and the
cooling fan is turning.
o
If coolant level is low, add coolant to the
recovery tank as soon as possible.
o
If the coolant is leaking, the fan belt is
loose or broken, or the red warning light
stays on, do NOT start the engine until
the problem is corrected.
•
Once the temperature gauge returns to normal,
resume driving and keep an eye on the gauge. Do
NOT resume driving until the problem has been
corrected and the temperature has returned to
normal.
Parking
You can stop and park your motorhome much like an
automobile; however, always remember that the unit is
longer, wider, and higher than a typical automobile and
requires more room and clearance.
EXTENDED OCCUPANCY
Your motorhome is designed for recreational and short-
term occupancy. In case of extended occupancy, there
are a few things to keep in mind regarding humidity and
condensation.
Excessive moisture released inside the motorhome can
cause water stains and mildew on the upholstery, wall
materials, and woodwork.
Moisture condensing on the windows is an indication that
the humidity inside your motorhome is too high.
The following procedures will help to reduce the moisture
level inside your motorhome:
•
Open windows and vents. This will allow fresh air to
flow through your motorhome and reduce moisture
levels.
•
Reduce the amount of moisture released inside the
motorhome. Run the bathroom fan when using the
bathroom to help remove excessive moisture from
your motorhome. Do not hang wet towels or
swimwear inside the motorhome to dry.
NOTICE
Always set the parking brake and place wheel chocks
in front and rear of wheels to prevent unexpected
movement.
