Additional Precautions
If you believe that your
EDGEWATER
travel trailer or
fth wheel has a defect, which could cause a crash or could
cause injury or death, immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying
SunnyBrook RV.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation and, if it nds that a safety defect exists
in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer, or
SunnyBrook RV.
To contact NHTSA, either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline
toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or
write to: NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Ave., Washington, D.C.
20590 or go to
http://www.savercar.gov.
Information may
be obtained about motor vehicle safety from the hotline.
CAUTION:
Always check to be certain that the hitch is
locked properly before towing. Be sure hitch bars are
adjusted for proper load equalization.
CAUTION:
It’s also important to load personal cargo so that
Gross Axle Weight Rating are never exceeded. For safety’s
sake, you should weigh your family camping vehicle
frequently as loaded for travel. We cannot emphasize too
strongly that the Gross Vehicle Weight and Axle Rating
must not be exceeded. Overloading is a safety hazard.
WARNING: IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE
COOKING APPLIANCES FOR
COMFORT HEATING.
DANGER!!! IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish all open ames, pilot lights, lanterns and
smoking materials.
2.DO NOT touch electrical switches.
3.Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas
supply connection.
4.Open the windows and exit the unit leaving the door
open.
5.Stay out of the unit until the odor clears.
6.Have the propane system checked immediately and
the cause of the leak corrected before using the system
again.
WARNING:
INSIST that propane bottle(s) are not lled
beyond 80% liquid level. Overfilling bottle(s) will
eliminate the “safety cushion” provided by the 20%
expansion area, which in turn can result in the discharge of
gas through the pressure relief valve when higher outside
temperatures are encountered.

WARNING
:
The water heater and furnace combustion air
exhaust ports may be extremely HOT during water heater
and furnace operation.
DO NOT
touch these outlets or
allow any material to come in contact with or cover either
the air intake or exhaust ports while operating the water
heater and/or furnace.
WARNING:
DO NOT
use the breakaway switch as a parking
brake. The current needed to operate the brakes will drain
the battery in a short time and the brakes will release when
the voltage fails.
WARNING:
DO NOT
mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias, and bias-belted tires
except in emergencies, because vehicle handling and tire
life may be seriously affected and may result in loss of
control or tire failure.
WARNING:
DO NOT
replace a blown fuse with one that
has a higher amperage rating. If a fuse continues to blow
(or circuit breaker to pop)
DO NOT
attempt to bypass it
with a piece of wire. Determine the reason for the overload
and have it repaired before using the circuit again.
DO
NOT
attempt wiring repairs on a “live” circuit. Turn off
all appliances and disconnect the trailer from all sources
of 120V and 12V electricity.
WARNING:
DO NOT
use a cheater plug (one with the
ground wire pin removed) to hook up your trailer to a
120V plug-in.
DO NOT
use an extension cord with a
lower circuit rating to plug into an electrical hook-up that
is beyond the reach of your trailer’s power cable.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the 120-volt electrical
system without a proper ground.
WARNING:
Test the smoke detector’s operation after your
camping vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and
at least once per week during use.
WARNING:
Use only antifreeze made especially for
potable water systems. Automotive antifreeze, if ingested,
can cause blindness, deafness or death.
