IMPORTANT:
•
Never use the awning in stormy weather or in strong winds!
•
The awning must be retracted overnight or when the RV is unattended.
•
Before extending the awning make sure that sufficient space is available.
•
Do not reposition the vehicle with the awning extended and always be sure the awning is retracted before driving!
•
Make sure that the awning lighting is switched off when not needed or when awning is retracted as it draws power from the
camper batteries if left the switch on.
•
There is a wind sensor in the awning, powered by 2 watch batteries. If these batteries are getting low, a sensor will start to beep
or cause the awning to move on its own. If this occurs simply shut off the awning
’
s main power switch until the next operation of
the awning is needed.
•
If the awning will not extend or retract, simply turn off the main power switch of the house batteries, wait 10 seconds and then
turn it back on again. This will reset the electric system and the awning should operate again.

AWNING
Our vehicles are equipped with an awning. The control switches are located next to the entrance door.
CAUTION:
The renter is liable for all damage resulting from improper operation of the awning.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
12V DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM
The camper is equipped with a 12V dual battery system. The engine and camper batteries are both charged by
the alternator while you are driving but discharge independently from each other. The camper batteries are
located in one of the external compartments of your camper.
BATTERY SWITCH POSITION
The main switch for turning the camper batteries on and off is located
either in the battery compartment
①
on the outside of the camper, or in
the compartment below the entrance door
②
. This switch must be in the
ON position to supply 12-volt power to the appliances and camper. When
there is no power in the camper, always check to see if this switch may
have been set to OFF accidentally and reset to ON if necessary. To be
ON
the switch must be
PULLED
out!
12V appliances:
Inside/outside lighting, water heater, pump, fan heater, awning, bathroom vent and fridge.
HOOK-UP TO THE POWER GRID (110V)
A power cable is provided with the camper for connecting to the 110V power supply at the
campsite. The regular plug is for a 30 AMP connection which is standard at most campgrounds. An
adapter is provided for occasions when only 15AMP connection is available. All electrical
appliances of the camper and the hook up at the campsite should be switched OFF before
connecting the RV. Use the 110V hook-up whenever possible in order to preserve and recharge
the camper batteries. The camper batteries recharge while the camper is connected to an
electrical hook-up and the fridge will automatically switch to 110V operation if set to AUTO. After
connecting the power cable
①
, tighten the black ring
②
to prevent accidental unplugging.
CAUTION:
Please do not to overload the camper batteries. They cannot sufficiently recharge if they lose too
much voltage. Once the charge has reached a very low level, the alternator can no longer recharge
them solely by driving. In that case they must be recharged using the exterior power cable (110V)
on the campground for at least 8 hours. We are not responsible for any cost or lost time due to
overloaded coach batteries. Complete drainage of batteries can damage them and the charging
system. In this case, the charging system and the batteries would have to be checked and
potentially replaced, by a technician.
