NOTE: If your model is equipped with electric
slideout locks and the room will not
retract, check to be sure the locks are
fully released. Press the “unlock” side of
the switch for a few seconds, then try
retracting again.

has engaged by observing the room from
outside of the coach and noting whether
the top of the room is being held tightly
against the sidewall of the coach.
SLIDEOUT ROOM – EXTREME
WEATHER PRECAUTION
Certain extreme weather conditions, such as
heavy rains, heavy snow, and high winds, or any
combination of these, could cause damage to the
slideout room cover-awning (if equipped) or
reduce effectiveness of the slideout room weather
seals.
Also, freezing rain and snow can prevent the
slideout cover-awning (if equipped) from closing
and may cause damage to the cover-awning,
slideout room, weather seals, and mechanisms.
To avoid potential damage, we recommend
retracting your slideout room during extreme
weather conditions.
