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.
The primary entrance door (Figure 13-5) 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 13-6) 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.
Keyless Lock
The Bus will be equipped with keyless lock entry that is incorporated into the grab
handle. The keyless lock entry is essentially a numeric combination lock (Figure 13-8).
This type of lock for the motor home permits the owner to come and go without
having to worry about whether the “house key” was with the owner or not. The
keyless lock drastically reduces the inadvertent situation of being “locked out of one’s
home” while on the road.
Also included with the keyless entry is a key fob that will lock and unlock the entrance
door as well as compartment doors. The headlights and clearance lights will flash,
indicating that the door(s) are locked when pressing the lock button on the key fob.
When pressing “unlock,” the porch lights will be activated for 30 seconds.
