SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
To Extend Slideout Room
Before Extending!
•
Level the motorhome and set the Parking
Brake.
•
Release the travel lock or latch (if equipped)
inside the motorhome.
See information at
beginning of this section (if equipped).
•
Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed
so that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
•
Ensure driver and co-pilot seat backs are clear
of slideout trim before extending slideout.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room extension.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
extended.
Extend Procedure:
See “Before Extending!” before proceeding.
•
Engage the parking brake.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Press the Slideout Room “EXTEND/OUT”
switch and hold until the room is fully
extended, then release the switch.
•
To stop extending the room during operation,
release the button.
•
Remove and Securely store the Ignition Key.
To Retract Slideout Room
Before Retracting!
•
Be sure the motorhome is level and the
Parking Brake is set.
•
Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed
so that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
•
Ensure driver and co-pilot seat backs are clear
of slideout trim before retracting slideout.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room retraction.
•
Stow all furniture extensions before retracting
slideout rooms to avoid property damage.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
retracted.
•
Remove all items from the motorhome living
room floor and close cabinet doors and
drawers. Be sure there are no items at the end
of the bed, behind the driver seat, or
protruding from compartments, which could
be crushed or cause damage to floor covering
or cabinets when the room is retracted.
If it has rained recently before you retract the
slideout room, we recommend using the
hydraulic leveling system (if equipped) to lean
the motorhome and drain off any excess water
possibly remaining on the roof before retracting.
Lean the motorhome slightly to the left or right
(depending on slideout location), by raising both
right or left side jacks to let excess water flow
away from the rooftop weather seal and toward
NOTICE
Release slideout room travel latch before
attempting to extend slideout room.
Secure travel latch before driving vehicle.
NOTICE
Because the slideout roof is drawn into
the interior of the coach when retracted,
be sure there is no debris, such as
excessive dirt, tree seeds, twigs, leaves,
etc. on the roof before retracting.
