EXTERIOR FEATURES
ELECTRIC STEPS
Th e Allegro Breeze is equipped with electric door steps (Figure 11-
5).
Th e switch to operate these steps is located in the passenger con-
sole box. When the power switch for the steps is in the “on” posi-
tion, simply open the door and the steps will automatically extend.
Detailed operation for the electrical, double-entrance, door steps
is as follows:
1. Turn the step power switch “on.”
2. Close the door. Th e step should retract and lock into the UP
position.
3. Open the door. Th e step should extend and lock into the
DOWN position.
4. Turn the step power switch “o ff .” Th e step should remain in an extended position when the door
is closed. Turning “o ff ” the power with the step retracted will hold the step in a retracted posi
tion, as well.
5. With the step extended, turn the step power switch “o ff ” and close the entrance door. Turn the
vehicle ignition switch “on.” Th e ignition override system will go into e ff ect and the step will au-
tomatically retract.
6. With the step switch in the “on” position, turn the vehicle ignition switch “o ff ” and open the door.
Th e step will extend and lock in the DOWN position.
7. Th is feature is only operative the fi rst time the door is opened a ft er the vehicle ignition switch is
turned “o ff .” When the ignition switch is “on,” the step will always activate with the door move
ment, regardless of the position of the step power switch.
When the electric steps are fully retracted and the motor home is being made ready for travel, be sure to
remove the cover over the stairwell (Figure 9-9) by li ft ing it by the handle and the cover will fold. Th ere
is a hook type enclosure that the folded cover will securely fasten to when not in use.
Other exterior features include optional power-assisted awnings (patio awning, door awning, or both).
If such are available, they can be controlled from the switch console located in the stairwell of the Al-
legro Breeze (see Figure 9-8). Additionally, a patio light switch and a cargo light switch may be used to
provide illumination on the patio side of the motor-home exterior and in the exterior storage compart-
ment areas under the motorhome, as needed.
