CAUTION:
Do not remove cover from the shore
power supply to troubleshoot electricity
to the recreational vehicle. Serious
personal injury or death may occur. If
there is no power to the recreational
vehicle inform the park manager. It is
the park manager’s responsibility to fix
any problems with the shore hook-up at
the site.
NOTE:
To avoid shore power overload when
hooked to 30 Amp service, determine
the current load prior to turning on
appliances or using interior outlets.
If cable service is provided, connect
a 75 Ohm RG59 or RG6 cable to the
cable connection located on roadside of
the recreational vehicle.
Hook a potable water hose to the city
water connection.
CAUTION
It is recommended to place a
pressure regulator at the water
source to protect the potable
water system from over-
pressurization. Some water
sources have high water
pressure, particularly in
mountainous regions. High
water pressure is anything
over 55 psi (pounds per
square inch). Excessive
water pressure may cause
leaks in water lines and/or
damage the water heater.
Excess pressure can cause
the water hose to swell and
burst.
WARNING:
Hose and hose fittings not
manufactured for potable water can
contain unsafe levels of lead. It is
highly recommended to use only fresh
water supply hoses manufactured for
potable water use.
Attach the sewer hose. Sewer drain
pipe diameters are generally either 3”
or 4”. Proper sewer hose adapters will
ensure against leaks or spillage. With
the sewer hose properly connected
open the grey water valve. The black
water valve remains closed until the
tank is full or until time of departure.
DRY cAMpINg
Below are suggestions to follow when
staying at a location that does not have
electrical, water or sewage hook ups. Plan
ahead and conserve resources.
Before arriving at the site, ensure batteries
are fully charged and properly maintained (
See
“
Battery Maintenance
”
in Section 8), the
fresh water tank and water heater are full and
waste holding tanks are empty.
Setting Up for Dry Camping:
Switch refrigerator operation to
propane (gas).
Turn on the water heater using propane
about an hour before hot water is
needed.
If the furnace is required, set the
thermostat temperature lower to
prevent excess cycling.
Check on small items that use
battery power, such as the porch and
compartment lights, etc. Even one light
accidentally left on reduces battery
reserves considerably.
Build a campfire when spending
nighttime hours outdoors. Extinguish
the flames before retiring for the
evening. Many campgrounds place
wood or cement barriers between the
site space and fire pit.
Keep flashlights handy. If interior lights
are needed, use one light in a central
location.
During the day it is still important to
conserve on energy. Turn on the water
pump only when using water.
Check the monitor panel frequently.
Keep track of water usage and battery
consumption.
Routinely check the propane level.
Remember the furnace uses more
propane in cold weather.
Leave shoes outdoors or at the entry
step to avoid tracking in dirt. Open
windows during the day instead of
using the roof air conditioner.
Plan what is needed from the
refrigerator prior to opening.
If no picnic table is available, eat at the
dinette table by candlelight.
Careful management of water is critical
when dry camping. Know the tank
capacities.
Do not fill the sink full of water to
wash a few dishes. Use disposable
dishes whenever possible.
