Occupant Safety
By controlling relative humidity, the growth of mold and mil-
dew can be inhibited. In warm climates, use of the air condi-
tioner will reduce the relative humidity. Vents are located in
the bathing and cooking areas and constant use is advised
during food preparation and bathing, even during colder
weather. Additionally, opening a window during these activ-
ities will assist in ventilation. In extremely humid conditions,
the use of a dehumidifier can be helpful.
Frequent use of your RV or cleaning regularly is an important
preventative measure. Further, any spills should be wiped up
quickly and dried as soon as possible. Avoid leaving damp
items lying about. On safe surfaces, use mold or mildew
killing cleaning products. Check sealants regularly, and reseal
when necessary to avoid water leaks. Proper preventative
maintenance to the RV and its accessories, as described both
in this manual and in accompanying literature, will provide the
best protection to the RV.
COLD WEATHER USAGE
Proper care should be taken when planning to use your RV
in cold weather. Please keep in mind that your RV was not
designed for use during sub-freezing weather. When used in
freezing or below freezing temperatures, the following precau-
tions need to be taken:
• More protection will be needed to protect the fresh
water and drainage systems to avoid freezing prob-
lems.
• Propane and sufficient power is needed for protection
from possible freeze-ups on the propane regulator.
Keep in mind that more frequent furnace operation will
substantially increase battery draw and propane use.
• During cool weather usage, ventilation or the addition
of a dehumidifier may be required to reduce conden-
sation.
• Check outside extrusions on compartment doors,
locks, slide outs, windows, vents, etc., for frozen mois-
ture before operating to avoid damage to parts.
