COLD WEATHER OPERATION
It is important to understand the interior water lines, fixtures, supply tank,
pump and filter are normally protected from moderate freezing temperatures,
as long as the furnace remains in operation. However, please keep in mind
that your motorhome was not designed for prolonged use in sub-freezing
temperatures without implementing special precautions.
PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF INTERIOR WATER LINES
Be careful not to store heavy items such as canned goods, tools, etc., in ar-
eas where they may come in contact with water piping and cause damage due
to road vibration and shifting of the load.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING WASHER/DRYER UNITS
Use caution when using your washer/dryer. Make certain that you have
adequate holding tank capacity or are hooked to a drain line with the drain
valve open. Failure to do so could result in a flooded coach due to the large
amount of water used in the washer/dryer. See washer/dryer manual for details.
