Living With Your Motor Home
The screens may be vacuumed or lightly
brushed to remove accumulation of leaves or
other debris.
Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with
a light, water resistant grease.
MONITOR PANEL
The monitor panel allows you to conveniently
check the approximate levels in the holding tanks,
Propane tank and to check battery condition(s).
Electrical probes installed in the tanks measure
the levels at various points in the tanks.
To check tank levels:
Press PROPANE, FRESH WATER, GRAY
or BLACK TANK switches.
The E or empty indicator light will always
be lit when the rocker or touch switches are
depressed. If the tank is full, all lights will
be on. Lights are sequential, and indicate
levels in approximately 1/3 or 1/4-tank
increments depending on monitor or panel
design. It the tank selected is approxi-
mately 1/2-full, for example, lights E, 1/4
and 1/2 will be on.
Erroneous tank level indications can be
caused by:
a. Water with low mineral content. The level
is measured by a very low level electrical
signal traveling through the liquid. Some
water may not conduct the signal properly.
This condition may be infrequent, but can
exist. Check the panel reading when the
fresh water tank is filled.
b. Material trapped on the holding tank
probes may give a full reading when the
tank is actually empty.
To check the battery charge:
1. Shut off all charging sources, engine, gen-
erator, and disconnect the 120-volt power
cord to turn off the converter.
2. Press BATTERY rocker switch on the panel.
3. Turn on a light or any 12-volt appliance.
The battery must be checked with a load.
4. Read battery condition on the indicator.

Condensation and How to
Control It
You need to understand how to properly manage
and control the humid conditions and condensa-
tion that you may experience.
RVs are much smaller than a house, and are
tightly built. This means that the interior air will
become saturated with moisture more quickly
than in a typical house. The routine activities of
a few people can put a lot of water into the air.
In cold weather, this moisture may become visi-
ble as condensation.
Condensation happens naturally. Just as mois-
ture collects on the outside of a glass of cold
water during humid weather, moisture can con-
dense on the inside surfaces of your RV during
cold weather when the humidity of the interior
air is high.
Water vapor will condense on the inside of the
windows and walls. In really cold weather, frost
or ice may appear.
It may also condense out of
sight within the walls or the ceiling.
If enough
water collects in the wall or ceiling materials, it
may cause water stains on the wall or ceiling
surface. You might think that your walls or ceil-
ing are leaking. You have a problem with con-
densation if you see these signs. You need to do
something to reduce the moisture inside your
