Maintenance
Open egress windows at least twice a year and lubricate the
seals to keep the seals pliable and prevent sticking.
Additional Egress Window Information
• When an egress window does not have a screen, it is
only intended for use as an egress window and is not
intended to be used for ventilation purposes. However,
some models may be equipped with a window screen.
For your safety, it is important that you do not add
a window screen to an egress window if one did not
come factory-installed.
• A top hinged exit window having a window screen can
be used for ventilation purposes when the motorhome
is parked. DO NOT open the egress window more than
a 45 degree angle, as it is designed to break away from
the RV if opened at an angle greater than 45 degrees to
allow for emergency exit.
• To avoid window damage, the egress window must
be closed tight and locked when the motorhome is
traveling.
• Release latch mechanisms will vary, depending on
the egress window design. The egress window may be
hinged at the top or side, be designed to breakaway, or
have a sliding window pane.
Illustration of cab reclining and
swivel seats
All swivel seats located in the cab of the vehicle (driver
and front passenger) must be in the locked, upright and
forward-facing position while the vehicle is in motion
and seats are occupied.
Driver, front passenger, and all occupants must always
wear seat belts while the vehicle is in motion.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING WARNING
Driver and Front Passenger Seats
For comfort and convenience, your motorhome may be
equipped with tilt and swivel seats in the cockpit area. These
features are designed to only be used when the motorhome
is parked. Before travel or moving the motorhome, ensure
all front seat backs are returned to an up-right position and
swiveled to their forward-facing position.
Select TMC motorhomes include tilt and swivel seating
in the coach area (sometimes referred to as barrel chairs).
Any adjustable seat that is equipped with seat belts and
intended for passenger occupation while the vehicle is in
motion, must be returned to an up-right and swivel-locked
position before travel.
