P I N E C R E S T O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L
C A M P E R — For purposes of this manual, this term refers to your fifth wheel RV.
C A M P I N G — An outdoor recreational activity involving the spending of one or more nights in a tent, primitive struc-
ture or RV at a campsite with the purpose of getting away from civilization and enjoying nature.
C A M P S I T E — The term usually means an area where an individual or family might go camping.
C A R B O N M O N OX I D E — A colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
C A R G O W E I G H T — The actual weight of all items added to the Curb Weight of the vehicle or trailer. This includes
personal cargo, optional equipment, and tongue or king pin weight.
C A R G O C A R R Y I N G C A PAC I T Y ( C C C ) — Equal to GVWR minus each of the following: UVW. full fresh (potable)
water weight (including water heater), full propane weight and SCWR.
C I T Y WAT E R — Term associated with the water supply you hook up to at the campsite. It is called city water because
water is pulled from a central outside source (like a city) and not the fresh water tank.
C O N D E N S AT I O N — A result of warm moisture laden air contacting the cold window glass. Keeping a roof vent open
helps to reduce the humidity levels. Added roof vent covers help to prevent cold air from dropping down through the
vent while still allowing moist air to escape. Using the roof vent fan when showering or the stove vent fan when cook-
ing also helps prevent excess moisture buildup.
C O N V E R T E R — A device that converts 120 volt A/C (alternating current) to 12 volt DC (direct current). The RV devices
mostly run on 12 volt DC power that is supplied by the battery, which allows the RV to function independently. When
"shore power" (an electrical supply) is available, the converter changes the voltage from 120 to 12 volt to supply the
appliances and to recharge the battery.
C U R B W E I G H T —The actual weight of a vehicle or trailer, including all standard equipment, full fuel tanks, full fresh
water tanks, full propane bottles, and all other equipment fluids, but before taking on any persons or personal cargo.
C U R B S I D E — This refers to the side of the camper that faces the curb when parked. Also referred to as the door
side or DS.
D C E L E C T R I C I T Y — Direct current also known as auxiliary battery power. For purposes of this owner’s manual, it
refers to 12-volt DC (abbreviated 12 VDC).
D E A L E R — For purposes of this manual, this refers to the independent dealer authorized to sell and/or service your
camper by Vanleigh RV. This term will be used in this context unless specified otherwise.
D I N E T T E — Booth-like dining area. Table usually drops to convert unit into a bed at night.
D R A I N T R A P — This is the curve that is in all drains. Water is trapped in the curve and creates a barrier so tank odors
cannot escape through the drain.
