AIR CONDITIONER

Note:
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in your Owner's Packet before proceeding,
The roof air conditioner used on Earthbound RV trailers is one of the most popular on the market today. In your
Owner's Packet is a set of literature covering all operating and maintenance instructions. If the literature is
misplaced please contact the air conditioner manufacturer or your Earthbound RV dealer for replacement.
The voltage to the air conditioner is critical. We commonly refer to 110 or 120 volts, but a check with a
voltmeter may find voltage much lower. Your air conditioner will probably not function if the current drops
below 105 volts. Low voltage is usually associated with older or poorly maintained trailer parks, but many
people have found their homes, built only twenty or thirty years ago, may not be capable of operating the
air conditioner on some receptacles, Parking your trailer so the power cord can be plugged into a receptacle
close to the fuse or circuit breaker box can alleviate the problem. Avoid extension cords and adapters
whenever possible. If an extension cord must be used it should be as short and heavy as possible to provide
the most current to the air conditioner.
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort to park in a shaded area. Starting the air conditioner early
in the morning also helps. It is much easier to hold a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the
temperature after the interior of the trailer is already hot.
FURNACE
The manufacturer of the furnace in your trailer has been well known in the RV industry for many years.
The furnace burns LP gas, and is powered by 12 volt current from the batteries or power converter when
plugged into city power. Operating instructions are located in your Owners Packet. If they should become
misplaced new literature can be ordered direct from the manufacturer or your Earthbound RV dealer. The
manufacturer also offers a detailed service guide for your furnace.
WARNING
: Carefully read all the manufacturer's instructions prior to operating.
NEVER store flammable material next to the furnace.
If warranty service is required use only a service location recommended by the furnace
manufacturer or your Earthbound RV dealer.
COOK TOP / RANGE
People using gas ranges in their home will find little difference in the operation of the cook top or range in the trailer.
Other customers, used to electric ranges may be a little apprehensive at first but will quickly gain
confidence. The basic operation of the gas ranges have been the same for many years, but please be sure to
read all the directions furnished by the manufacturer and located in the Owner' s Packet. Excellent service
and parts manuals are available from the manufacturer.
WARNING
If the cook top/range owner's manual is not in your owner's packet, contact your dealer or Earthbound RV
for a copy. The manual contains specialized warnings and cautions that should be reviewed prior to
operating the appliance.
