CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
Carbon Monoxide gas is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. It is a combustion by-product of fuel burning
engines. The engine in your truck and generator system (if installed); produce it constantly while they are
running. Carbon monoxide gas is deadly. Please read and understand the following warnings and precautions
to protect yourself and others from the effects of carbon monoxide gas. Areas between the camper and truck
bed are used for ventilation. Filling or blocking these areas could trap and prevent gases from escaping.
WARNINGS
1. Exhaust gases are deadly. Do not block the tailpipes or situate the vehicle in a place where the exhaust
gases have any possibility of accumulating either outside, underneath, or inside your vehicle or any
nearby vehicles.
2. Outside air movement can carry exhaust gases inside the camper through windows or other openings
remote from the exhaust outlets. Due to this possibility, Travel Lite
DOES NOT RECOMMEND
that any
passenger ride inside the camper while traveling.
3. Operate the engine(s) only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases can be assured, and monitor outside
conditions to be sure that exhaust continues to be dispersed safely.
4. Do not, under any circumstances, operate any engine while sleeping.

GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Prevention is the best form of safety. Follow the same rules you would at home.
Please review and keep the following safety checks in mind while traveling:
1. Never overload your vehicle. Improper load distribution can cause serious handling problems on the
road.
2. Never attempt to repair or alter a gas or electric appliance. Always consult an authorized and qualified
Travel Lite dealer or service technician.
3. Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, cannot be used inside
the camper. The use of this equipment could cause fire and/or asphyxiation.
4. Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline, or other flammable liquids inside the camper. Doing
so could risk the danger of fire or explosion.
5. Do not smoke in bed.
6. Do not overload electrical circuits.
7. Do not use matches, candles or lighters as flashlights.
8. Do not permit children to play with or operate propane or electrical appliances.
9. Occupying the camper while off the truck is unwise and
NOT RECOMMENDED
. The camper is likely to
be unstable. Occupying the cab-over bunk area will most likely tip the camper onto its nose, possibly
causing injury or damage. This would not be warrantable.
