Vents
The kitchen has a 12 VDC Fantastic vent fan (Figure 12-2) 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.
Doors
Caution
Always secure the dead bolt lock while the motor home is in motion to prevent
accidental opening of the entrance door.
Figure 12-2. 12 VDC Vent Fan
The primary entrance door (Figure 12-3) to the motor home is a
radius door having a key lock and a dead bolt for additional
security. When the door is fully opened, the door hinge
automatically holds the door in an “open” position.
There is also a screen door (Figure 12-4) associated with the
entrance door; the screen door will permit increased air
circulation when the entrance door is open. To enjoy this benefit,
the screen door is operated independently of the entrance door.
However, when one wishes to close the screen door and the
entrance door at the same time; the screen door latch must be
fastened to the entrance door prior to closing the entrance door.
Failure to do so will cause the screen door latch to be bent.
