To conserve battery power:
• Do not allow batteries to fully discharge before operating the generator. If possible run the generator twice
a day, morning and afternoon, to charge the batteries.
• When not using the inverter for 120 Volts AC, turn it off.
• Turn off interior 12 Volt DC power whenever possible. Refrigerator, battery charging and inverter
operation will not be affected. Turn off small battery operated items i.e., porch, bay exterior step, generator
and engine compartment lights, etc. Turn off the antenna boost when not watching TV. One light left on
can quickly reduce battery reserves.
• Keep a working fl ashlights handy for night trips through the campsite and inside motorhome. When
interior lighting is desired, use one light in a central location such as the vanity. Unscrew all but one or
two bulbs.
• If equipped with a solar panel(s), keep panel(s) clean for
optimum performance.
• Turn on the water pump only when using water.
• If weather does not permit or no outdoor table is available, eat
at the dinette table by candlelight.
• Operate the generator when using microwave/convection oven.
BREAKING CAMP
Preparing the motorhome for travel will require several small tasks. Properly
securing and storing items will help to prevent them from getting lost or damaged.
Below is a checklist guide to reference when preparing to break camp.
Outside Checklist:
• Disconnect the cable TV and lower the TV antenna.
• Disconnect and stow the telephone line.
• Retract awnings and secure them for travel.
• Close the primary LP-Gas tank valve.
• Connect the sewer hose.
• Drain and fl ush holding tanks. Start by closing the grey water valve. Run enough
cold water down sink and shower drains to fi ll the grey tank at least 50%. Use
caution to avoid overfi lling or fl ooding the grey tank. Connect a non-potable water
hose to the “Water Inlet Only” fi tting in the lower left corner of the service center, open
the black tank valve, and allow adequate time for black tank to drain. Close black tank
valve and open grey water valve. Water from the grey tank will help to fl ush the drain
hose. Once evacuated, close grey water valve. Disconnect the sewer hose and fl ush that
hose with clean water from a non-potable hose. Store the hose. Replace the sewer cap.
• Fill fresh water tank, then disconnect fresh water hose from the source. Store hose with
end cap in place. If applicable, remove the hose protection water pressure regulator
from the city water faucet.
• Turn shore power breaker off and disconnect shore line. Wind up and store shore cord.
Secure door.
• Inspect fl uid level in oil bath hubs (if applicable) and check all tire pressures.
• Secure all compartment doors.
• Inspect tires and wheels.
• Check for fl uid leaks under and around the motorhome.
