the back, to enable the seat to be rotated without obstruction from sidewalls
or items to the rear. Some models do not allow complete seat rotation.

The entry door consists of both an exterior door and a screen door used for ventilation when the motor home
is parked.

SCrEEN Door CLoSED. The doors may be damaged, and it is a safety hazard.
When driving, it is a good idea to keep the door locked to prevent uninvited entrance from the outside when
stopped. Two types of locks may be provided with the outer door. The handle lock for normal security, and a
dead bolt lock for additional security. The dead bolt must be locked while driving.
The screen door can be attached to the outer door. A sliding panel on the screen door permits access to the
handle on the outer door to prevent unnecessary handling of both doors. Separate keys are provided for both
types of door locks. It is a good idea to keep a record of the key numbers in a safe place, should it become
necessary to have duplicate keys made.
