For detailed instructions and a troubleshooting guide, refer to the specific Owner’s Manual located in the
Owner’s Information Package.
Caution
Since damage resulting from weather is not under warranty, anytime a heavy or
prolonged rain or blustery winds are anticipated, it would be advisable to close the
awning. Similarly, if the awning is to be left unattended for any prolonged length of
time, it would be prudent to close that awning.
NOTE: Be sure that the awning is fully locked into position on both arms before travel. Failure to do so
may cause the awning to deploy when the motor home is in motion.
Vents
The kitchen has a 12-VDC Fantastic vent fan (Figure 13-5) installed to exhaust kitchen odors. For normal
operation, the vent is controlled by a thermostat mounted on the vent.
Once the vent power switch is in the “on” position and the thermostat is set to a
particular temperature, the vent fan will operate until the temperature set-point is
reached; at which time the vent fan will automatically turn “off.”
The vent fan should only be left in the “on” mode when the motor home is
parked and in use.
If the motor home is to be unattended for long periods of time or is to be in
storage, make sure that the vent fan is turned “off.” Were the fan left “on,”
blustery winds or severe storms may prevent the vent from closing and,
consequently, may permit leakage, with possible damage, into the motor home.
The bathroom also contains a 12-VDC, vent fan which is controlled by an “on/off” switch mounted on the
bathroom wall.
