If your destination does not have “pull-through” sites, try to pick a solid,
level site. If possible, pick a site located on the left side. This is the preferred
side. The driver will have a better field of vision by using the driver side mirror.
If the site is on the right side, the driver will have to use the passenger side mir-
ror for backing up, which leaves a blind spot. When a potential site is spotted,
stop the motorhome before the site. Get out and observe the area for soft
ground, posts, large rocks, low hanging limbs or other obstacles. If the site
meets your particular criteria, prepare to back in carefully. Have the co-pilot
guide you using the five hand signals.

Put the motorhome gearshift in neutral and set the parking brake. Turn off
the ignition switch. Block all four wheels securely. Level the motorhome as
directed under "Leveling Jacks." Connect 120/240 AC power.
• 50 Amp service is what ther motorhome is equipped with to operate all
electrical equipment.
• 30 Amp service motorhomes will be able to operate, but with some limits.
Open the LP-Gas tank valve. Connect the fresh water supply. Connect the
waste drain hose to sewer hook-up. If applicable, start the refrigerator, water
heater and furnace. Most appliances should be operated on gas at first. Once the
motorhome is plugged into shore power, the inverter will go into a 90 minute
bulk rate charge. Determine later what appliances will be run on 110/12 Volt
power.
NOTE: Chock all the wheels securely if you are leaving the
motorhome.

For extended dry camping, management of all resources is essential. The
motorhome has large batteries, plenty of water and large holding tank capaci-
ties. With a little care and forethought it is possible to go a long way with only
the wonderful amenities you bring with you.
Conserve water! Your motorhome holds a lot, but it goes down the drain
fast. Don't waste water you don't actually use. Use a manual valve on shower
head and turn the water off and on as needed while showering. You can reduce
water needed for a shower by as much as two-thirds. Don't let water run in sink
while you do other things, such as wiping up kitchen or brushing your teeth.
Conserve battery power. Use electricity sparingly. Turn off the inverter when
it is not in use. Only turn it on when you need it. However, remember that when
the generator is running the inverter will come on automatically.
Charge the batteries when they are half down. At half charge the battery
voltage will be 12.2 Volts.You can use a hydrometer for testing. A good rule of
thumb is to run the generator for three to four hours daily, which should
