DOORS, WINDOWS AND COMPARTMENTS
Be sure all occupants in the camper know how to operate the entry door lock and
deadbolt as well as the emergency exits in case of emergency.
ENTRY DOOR, SCREEN, AND LOCKS
The entry door lock and deadbolt are keyed alike. The key is double sided so it can be installed into the lock in
either direction. Be sure to write down the key number and keep it in a safe place. Your Travel Lite dealer can
obtain duplicates with this number. The screen door can be operated independently by releasing the catch on
the screen door and swinging the screen door away from the main door. When using the screen door, you can
secure the main door against the side of the trailer with the exterior door latch.
NOTE:
It is always a good idea
to lock the entry door deadbolt before traveling.
ENTRY ASSIST HANDLE
Your camper is equipped with a deluxe rubber-gripped assist handle. It is located on the outside rear of your
camper and will help support you when entering and exiting the vehicle.
WINDOWS
Depending on the model of your camper, the windows in your unit are either a radius corner-sliding pane made
with safety glass or Seitz CS dual acrylic pane hinged windows with a double cassette blind and flynet system.
Operation of slider windows:
°
Open by pulling out the latch knob; when the window is closed the latch will automatically lock
into place
Operation of Seitz windows with flynet and blind system (Option):
°
To open the window, push in button on black crank handle and turn handle. Push window
outward. There are 3 opening positions.
°
To close window, push window open completely, then bring it back to the closed position.
°
Flynet and blind can be operated independently or together; flynet at the top of the window and
blind at the bottom.
°
Night latch setting: Simply position blind short of the top to leave a small section of flynet
exposed.
EMERGENCY EXIT (EGRESS) WINDOW
Read and understand these instructions before you need to use them.
The emergency exit window is
located in the cab over or bunk area of the camper and is identified by the red handles and EXIT label.
The
emergency exit window provides an escape route in case the camper must be evacuated under emergency
conditions and the path to the main entry door is blocked.
Operation of the emergency exit window
:
°
Pull the red handles and swing the window outward. The window is hinged at the top.
°
DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW.
When parked, be sure trees or other
obstacles do not block the exit window.
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS AND CABINETS
Storage compartments with exterior access doors are fitted with key-operated locks. Interior cabinet doors have
spring-loaded hinges to keep them from swinging open. A few simple guidelines will help keep loose objects in
place during travel.
1. Keep tools and heavy objects stored low and away from the ends of the camper in areas where
they cannot shift.
2. Pack articles in drawers and compartments so there is not room for them to shift, using straps
or ties where necessary.
3. Secure glass containers and containers holding liquids to prevent spilling or breakage.
4. Storage compartments with exterior access may not be water tight.
