WARNING
Stabilizing jacks are designed to stabilize the
trailer only. Misuse of the stabilizer jacks to level
or lift the trailer may result in damage to the
jacks and potentially the trailer.
WARNING
Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack,
as when changing a tire or leveling on very
rough terrain, always place the lifting jack under
the main frame rail. Never use stabilizing jacks
to lift the trailer.
Effects of Prolonged Occupancy
Your trailer was designed primarily for recreational
use and short-term occupancy. If you expect to
occupy the trailer for an extended period, be
prepared to deal with condensation and the humid
conditions that may be encountered.
Moisture can condense on the inside surfaces of the
trailer during cold weather when relative humidity
of the interior air is high. This condition is increased
because the insulated walls of a camper are much
thinner than house walls. Also, the relatively small
volume and tight compact construction of modern
camper means that the normal living activities of
even a few occupants will lead to rapid moisture
saturation. Estimates indicate that a family of four
can vaporize up to three gallons of water daily
through breathing, cooking, bathing, and washing.
Unless the water vapor is carried outside by
ventilation, or condensed by a dehumidifier, it will
condense on the inside of the windows and walls as
moisture, or in cold weather, as frost or ice. It may
also condense out of sight, within the walls or the
ceiling, where it will manifest itself as warped or
stained panels.
Appearance of these conditions may indicate a
serious problem. When you recognize the signs of
excessive moisture and condensation in the trailer,
action should be taken to minimize their effects.
Tips to Controlling Condensation
Allow excess moisture to escape to the outside
when
:
• Cooking
Avoid dead air spaces by:
• Using a fan to keep air circulating.
• Keep the temperature as reasonably cool during
cold weather as possible.
• Allow your trailer to breath; do not make it
airtight.
• Allow some warm air to be removed and some
cool outside air in.
• In hot weather, starting the air conditioner early
will help remove excess humidity from the air while
lowering temperatures.
NOTE
Your trailer is not designed, nor intended, for
permanent housing. Use of this product for long-
term or permanent occupancy may lead to
premature deterioration of structure, interior
finishes, fabrics, carpeting, and drapes. Damage
or deterioration due to long-term occupancy may
not be considered normal, and may, under the
terms of the warranty, constitute misuse, abuse,
or neglect, and may therefore reduce the
warranty protection
.
Molds
Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally
occur in virtually every environment, indoors and
out. Outdoors, mold growth is important in the
decomposition of plants. Indoors, mold growth is
unfavorable. Left unchecked, molds break down
natural materials, such as wood products and
fabrics. Protect your investment by understanding
the potential risks that mold imposes.
