WARNING: Never use the range for heating - Asphyxiation could result.
Make sure to use a propane gas that will vaporize properly in the colder temperatures.
Check with your propane gas representative for the proper fuel, and reread the information on
propane gas selection in the
“Propane Gas Systems” section of this manual.
NOTE: It is important to remember that heating with propane gas consumes gas rapidly, so refill
the tank immediately when low, to avoid running out completely.
NOTE: ONLY use the furnace to heat the motorhome. It is properly vented to the outside.
NOTE: Cooking produces large amounts of moisture. Not just steam from pots and pans, but
also as a product of combustion. Make sure to use the exhaust vents and open a window
slightly to control the humidity. At night, leave a roof vent and/or a window slightly open.
When storing the motorhome for the winter (or other extreme conditions), certain precautions
need to be made to protect it until you open it again for use. Make sure to talk with your local
dealer concerning any special requirements for storage in your particular geographic area.
The following steps are general, and your dealer can help you choose those that are most
appropriate for your needs.
• Make sure to park the motorhome on a level surface.
• Make sure to winterize the chassis as outlined in the chassis owner’s manual, and
also the 120 Volt A/C generator as outlined in the generator’s owner’s manual.
• Clean the motorhome thoroughly, as previously outlined, including the refrigerator.
• Make sure all electrical switches and appliances are turned off.
• Close all the drapes and curtains, and protect the curtains from sun fading by placing
foil, or paper between the windows and the screens.
• Make sure all windows, doors, and vents are closed securely. Cover exterior vents on
appliances to prevent moisture and insects from entering during storage.
NOTE: Leave one roof vent partially open to allow for some limited ventilation air flow, but not
so far at to allow snow or rain to enter the motorhome.
• Check the interior of the motorhome periodically while in storage to make sure leaks
have not developed, or condensation formed that can cause damage to interior
components. Condensation can most readily be observed as moisture accumulation
on windows and mirrors. To reduce condensation, make sure to air the motorhome
out occasionally during storage.
