and costly. Also, water and holding tank level indicators may give false readings because water level is
greater at one side of the tank than the other.
Blocking
A motor home can be leveled using several methods, including sophisticated electronic-hydraulic systems.
The most common and inexpensive method, however, is “blocking.”
This is done by stacking various lengths of planking (blocks) into a ramp-like formation in a low spot to drive
the tire onto, thus leveling the coach.
Wedge a pair of wheel chocks or similar devices in front and back of a tire that is on the ground to keep the
coach from rolling forward or backward off the leveling blocks.
When placing blocks beneath a set of rear dual wheels be sure the blocks support both tires so that the load
weight is not resting on one tire, which could damage that tire.
To provide extra firmness, you can place inexpensive mechanical jacks, jack stands or hydraulic “bottle” jacks
under the frame to keep the coach from moving on the suspension springs while walking around inside the
coach. These devices are not intended to lift the coach; only to hold it rigid and steady.
NOTE: We do not recommend lifting any of the wheels off the ground for leveling. This could allow the coach to roll
off the jacks, possibly resulting in damage to the vehicle.
EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY
Your motor home was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you expect to
occupy your coach for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and humid conditions that
may be encountered.
Humidity and Condensation
Moisture condensing on the inside of windows is a visible indication that there is too much humidity inside the
coach. Excessive moisture can cause water stains or mildew which can damage interior items such as
upholstery and cabinets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive moisture and condensation in your coach, you should take
immediate action to minimize their affects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture inside the motor home by taking the following steps:
Ventilate with outside air:
Partially open one or more windows and a roof vent to circulate outside air
through the coach. In cold weather, this ventilation may increase use of the furnace, but it will greatly
reduce the condensation inside the coach.
Minimize moisture released inside the coach:
Run the range hood fan while cooking, and open a bath
vent while bathing or showering to carry water vapor out of the coach. Avoid making steam from boiling
water excessively or letting hot water run. Avoid bringing extra moisture into the coach by way of soaked
clothing or snow on shoes. Do not hang-dry wet overcoats or clothing inside the coach.
NOTE: Your coach is not designed or intended to be used as permanent housing. Using this product for long term
occupancy or permanent housing 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, under the terms of the warranty, may constitute misuse, abuse, or neglect, and may therefore reduce your
warranty protection.
