EXTENDED STAY
Making a long trip is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since everything you need is
right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an extended trip, take everything you
need, but only what you need. Some models are equipped with Hydraulic Leveling Jacks that can be
deployed. Complete instructions are included with the Owners Packet. Be sure to read the directions
completely prior to operating the jacks.
When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks or months, you will want your motorhome
to be as level as possible. Check the attitude with a small spirit level set on the inside work counter. If a
correction is necessary, then you must first level from side to side. This can be done most easily by driving
up a small ramp consisting of 2" x 6" boards tapered at both ends. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND
PLACING TIRES IN A HOLE FOR LEVELING.
CAMPGROUND SETUP
Hook Up to Water by attaching a ½” minimum high-pressure water hose to the city water service, or the
hose from the water reel if so equipped.
The
110-volt power cord is an electrically operated cord reel in the first compartment located behind the
roadside rear wheels. Turning the switch to “out” will extend the power cord so it can be plugged into City
Power Service.
WARNING: If adapters are required make sure the polarity is correct and the “ground” function is
not lost.
A
Cable TV Hookup is located on the roadside rear corner of the motorhome. It is already wired into the
existing system, so the exterior connection is all that is required.
To use the
Generator you simply start it. All switching is done automatically. The generator can be started
either from your interior monitor panel, dash switch or the switch on the generator itself.
It is easier on your generator and appliances if you'll allow the generator to reach its normal operating
speed (about a minute) prior to applying heavy current loads.
Hook your
Waste Drain Hose into the Sewer Disposal Facility and attach to the drain outlet in your
motorhome. For details on this procedure see Drain and Waste System Section.
Turn on the
gas supply and light the oven pilot. Lighting a top range burner to bleed any air from the
system will make it easier to start other appliances.
The
range exhaust fan has an exterior door that must be unlatched to be effective. You will see the two
small twist latches if you look at the fan from outside the motor home. In most circumstances you can leave
the door unlatched. During storage and adverse weather conditions, latching the door is recommended.
When you stay for extended periods where electric or water hookups are not available, you must make
regular checks on the condition of your 12-volt battery and the contents of your water tank. Carry drinking
water in a clean bucket to refill your tank. When your waste tank nears capacity, move your motorhome to
a dumping location.
