General Information
Safety
As always, safety should be a top priority� Ensure that
you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate the
main door and emergency exit window rapidly, without
light� Contemplate other means of escape in case the
designated exits are blocked�
The escape windows(s) are identified by their red
release handles� Lift up on both latches to release the
escape window� Push out on the glass and it will swing
clear�
WARNING
The window operation should be checked before
each trip and the latches lubricated with WD-40® or
an equivalent lubricant every six months.
WARNING
Read the directions on the fire extinguisher
carefully. If you have any doubts as to its
operation, you and your family should practice,
then replace or recharge the extinguisher. Your
local fire department will be able to assist you and
answer any questions.
WARNING
Don’t smoke inside the trailer. Keep matches out of
reach of small children. Don’t clean with flammable
material. Keep flammable material away from open
flame. Always shut off the LPG gas at the bottles
when fueling a tow vehicle.
We have all heard the above warnings many times,
yet the situation or occurrences they discuss are still
among the leading causes of fires.
Safety information concerning the LPG system of your
trailer is located in Section 6 - Exterior of this manual�
Winter Traveling
Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require
certain precautions to protect the plumbing system
and your personal belongings from being damaged by
freezing�
Whenever possible, the heat should be kept set to a
constant temperature� It is easier for the furnace to
keep a constant room temperature than allow the trailer
temperature to drop to 50°F, then attempt to raise it to
room temperature�
The furnace on Sport models is ducted to provide heat
to the below floor water tanks and plumbing to prevent
freezing�
Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while
moving� While traveling in these states, simply use
your common sense� How cold is it? How long will
it be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the
temperature dropping or rising? Remember, when
towing at 50 MPH, the wind chill factor will cause the
interior of the trailer to cool much faster than a parked
trailer�
When parked in sub-freezing temperatures, make sure
to keep a full supply of LPG and plug into a 110-volt
power source whenever possible�
Leave cabinet doors, wardrobes, and bed doors
partially open to allow warm air to circulate around
plumbing lines and fixtures. Insulate and/or wrap your
exterior water lines with heat tape�
NOTE
Drain and winterize all models if the water systems
are not being used during winter traveling. Refer
to Section 8 - Maintenance in this manual for
winterizing instructions.
