the salt. But, this will not replace the paint that is literally
sandblasted off the undercarriage by the road salt and
sand. Sandblasted and corroded frame components
must be refinished. This is not covered under warranty.
This can be done with readily available rust preventative
paint and undercoating. This is necessary to properly
maintain your recreational vehicle.
Aftermarket undercoating processes are also beneficial
in rust prevention. But, to remain effective, these
treatments must be inspected and renewed annually as
most undercoating agents can dry and peel with age.
Therefore, regularly scheduled inspections and
maintenance are necessary to protect your recreational
vehicle and its various components and fixtures from the
elements and keep it corrosion-free.
In addition to maintenance, you should keep from storing
your vehicle in grassy areas for long periods of time. The
stagnant, moist air developed under the coach will speed
up the corrosion process. Always store your vehicle on
pebble, concrete or asphalt surfaces.
Awnings
Awnings installed on your trailer may have been added
by your dealer. Proper use, care and maintenance
procedures for awnings are included in the literature
provided with the awning.
To open your main awning (Manual):
• Make sure that you have sufficient clearance from
obstructions.
• Unlock the awning using the provided wand by
pulling down the locking latch located on the top of
the right awning arm. (if equipped)
• Unlock the travel lock on the awning arm (if equipped).
• Loosen the rafter arm knobs located in each awning
arm.
• Using the wand, hook the loop hanging in the center
of the awning and pull the awning completely out.
• Slide each rafter arm to the top of each awning arm
and tighten the rafter knobs, make sure the awning
fabric is not loose.
• Near the base of each awning arm is a flip-out lever/
handle, which is also an awning arm slide lock.
When the lever is flipped out, the awning arm can be
slid up to raise the awning. Flipping the lever back
down will allow the arm to lock.
• Your awning is now in place. You may choose to use
anchor straps for extra support in windy conditions.
• For further details, see the awning manufacturer’s
instruction manual.
To close the main awning:
• Flip the awning arm levers out and slide the awning
arms back down, being careful not to let the awning
drop down, as flipping the levers out will unlock the
arm and allow it to slide down.
• Loosen the rafter arm knobs and slide the rafter arm
as far down as it will go. Do not re-tighten the rafter
arm knobs at this time.
• While holding the wand strap in the awning tube,
push the awning main latch located on the top of the
right arm to “locked”. BE CAREFUL! This will cause
the awning to roll up if you don’t have a good hold of
the awning tube strap.
• Holding the awning tube strap, allow the awning to
roll up until you can use the wand in the strap. Using
the wand, allow the awning to roll all the way up. Do
not allow the strap to get rolled all the way in the
awning fabric.
• Lock the awning arm travel latches.
• Re-tighten the rafter arm knobs located in each
awning arm.

Press and hold the “Extend” button and the awning will
automatically open. If the button is released the awning
will stop. Continue pressing the button until awning is
fully extended, then release.
To close your main awning (Electric):
Press and hold the “Retract” button and the awning will
automatically close. If the button is released the awning
will stop. Continue pressing the button until awning is

Awning Care
Be sure to clean off all debris as you roll up your
awnings. Periodically wash off the awning fabric with
a soapy water solution. Long term exposure to the sun
may cause some fading over time, which is normal.
