SITE SELECTION AND SET UP
With time and experience, you will get better at spotting and identifying good camping sites. Although they will vary to some
degree, all good sites will (a) be level (at least ‘ish’) and (b) have a firm, not soft, ground that will support the weight of jacks
and/or other support devices. There are also many public camping sites that provide electrical and other useful hook-ups or
services. Once you have chosen your site, we suggest that you refer to the following important tips for your set-up:
level and stable
…. (1) Before uncoupling, level the unit from side to side if desired with wood or plastic leveling blocks. Place
the blocks on the ground forward of the wheels and tow the unit onto the blocks.
(2) Lower the jack onto blocks or pad, if necessary;
(3) Use a smartphone level to ensure habitat is level;
(4) Once the unit is level, use wheel chocks or blocks to prevent the habitat from moving;
(5) uncouple the habitat from the tow vehicle, unplug 7 pin connector from vehicle;
(6) Lower the stabilizing jacks until they firmly engage. Be sure all jacks have about the same pressure on them.
Note: Before resuming travel, be sure that the stabilizer jacks are fully retracted/raised and that the habitat has been fully closed.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE JACKS STANDS OR STABILIZER JACKS TO JACK UP THE HABITAT OR
SUPPORT THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE HABITAT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEVEL, RAISE OR OTHERWISE PLACE ALL
OF THE WEIGHT OF THE HABITAT ON THE STABILIZER JACKS. STABILIZER JACKS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BEAR
WEIGHT.
set-up cont
. … once the unit is safely leveled and stabilized, continue with set-up:
(1) open roof (see below listed steps);
(2) connect to shore power, if available;
(3) connect to site water supply, if available, and
(4) set up the remaining features and/or options as needed.
OPENING ROOF …. follow these simple steps:
1. Enter the habitat and unlatch two (2) red-colored interior hold-down latches (located at entry door and over WC), both of which
have a thumb catch.
2. Push roof up from center front of roof interior. Place hands on either side of center spine and push upwards. Gas springs will
assist the lift and prevent a sudden closing.
