Maintaining Your Motor Home
1) To maintain your exterior painted fiberglass and metal surfaces we suggest you
thoroughly clean and wax these pieces regularly. (all fiberglass surfaces are painted
with automotive paint.)
2) When storing your Pleasure-Way it is recommended that you park the vehicle on a
level surface. Avoid parking in a front end down position as rain or snow may collect in
the air conditioner area, allowing moisture to enter the vehicle through the air
conditioner. Damages to the motorhome as a result of incorrect parking will not be
covered under warranty.
3) When storing you Pleasure-Way Motorhome, ensure all holding tanks are emptied and
flushed, the water system is completely drained including the water heater, the LP gas
valve is turned off, the battery disconnect is switch to the off position, and all electrical
appliances are turned off.
4) When storing your Pleasure-Way Motorhome it is recommended that you run your
vehicle engine once a month to allow the engine starting battery to recharge and the
vehicle fluids to flow through the engine. Please refer to your vehicle operation manual
for more details.
5) It is recommended that you run your generator (if equipped) for ½ hour under load each
month. This will allow the system to maintain fresh fuel, the engine to be lubricated and
the electronic components to avoid corrosive build up

MOTORHOME SYSTEMS
Propane Gas System
Your motorhome is equipped with a Liquid Propane (LP) gas system that provides a fuel source to the
appliances, which are designed to use this gas for operation. The storage tank is located under the
chassis between the hitch rails . Access to the propane/LP tank and regulator is from under the
vehicle. The regulator is on the driver side generator bracket.

Regulator

An Propane gas regulator must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward.
Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that
the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage that
could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
Propane Switch ; Main shut-off valve is located in the Diver side Component Compartment.

Propane fill and Breather Valve; located on the passenger rear exterior corner of the vehicle. The
breather valve must be open to fill the propane tank. Liquid will appear through the breather valve
when the tank is 80% full.

The propane gage is located inside your coach on the rear electrical switch and display panel. The
panel will indicate full when the LP tank is at 80%



Warning: Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside
the vehicle, because a fire or explosion may result. LP gas containers should not be placed or
stored inside the vehicle as LP gas containers are equipped with safety devices that relieve
excessive pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.
Warning: It is not safe to use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking appliances
need fresh air for safe operation. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply in the unit is
limited due to the size of the vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s)
will avoid dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be
used for comfort heating as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used
for a long period of time. Therefore, before operation, be sure to open a source of ventilation.
Warning: Do not use portable fuel burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and
stoves inside the motorhome. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may
cause fire or asphyxiation.

DO NOT FILL LP CONTAINER TO MORE THAN 80% CAPACITY. Overfilling the LP gas container can result
in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container will contain
approximately 80% of its volume of LP gas.
If you smell gas:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.


Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials
Do not touch any electrical switches.
Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve or gas supply connection.
Open all the doors and other ventilating openings.
Leave the area until the odor clears and you are sure there is no further risk to you or
others.
Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
Do not place the cooktop cover on the stove when the cooktop is lit, or when the burner
knobs are in the on position. Allow cooktop to cool before closing the glass cover.

Propane/ LP appliances are: Fridge, Cook Top, Water Heater and Furnace.
NOTE: Your LP gas appliances may not light on the first try. There may be air in the LP gas lines that
will dissipate as the gas pressurizes the lines.

Fresh Water System
The water system built into your motorhome provides full service similar to the system in your home. A
12-Volt self-priming pump draws pressurized water from the fresh water tank to all cold faucets and the
water heater. An automatic pressure switch located in the water pump maintains a positive line
pressure between 20 to 30 p.s.i. The fresh and gray water tanks are located underneath the floor of the
vehicle. The black water tank is located above the floor directly under the toilet.
Fresh water fill and Drain
To fill the fresh water tank, use the gravity water fill located on the passenger’s side of the van beside
the sliding door. First, unlock the water fill compartment and remove the large cap; then place the
water hose into the fill. Turn on the water to medium flow. There are two ways of knowing when your
water tank is full: (1) by checking the monitor panel located inside your coach; (2) when water starts
coming back through the gravity fill. NOTE: If you notice water running out from underneath the van,
there is a drain tap located on the side of the fresh water tank ensure the valve is closed. This tap is
there to help you drain your fresh water tank without having to open the taps and pump it out.

City Water Connection
The city water connection is located in the driver’s side utility center. The city water connection is a
convenience for you when you have access to an outside pressurized water source. To hook up the city
water connection you should make sure that the water pump switch is turned off inside the coach and
that all faucets are shut. Attach your water hose and turn on the water supply. The city water system
bypasses the fresh water holding tank and feeds the water lines directly so that you will not have to use
the water pump. To disconnect the city water system, first turn off the water source, then open a faucet
to relieve some of the pressure in the lines (if you do not open a faucet to relieve some of the pressure,
when you unhook the water line, water may spray out), then unhook the water line.
NOTE: In different areas the water pressure may vary. It is advisable to use a water pressure regulator
because excessive pressure may result in water-line damage.

25

Fresh Water System Drains
The Fresh water tank drain is located under the passenger side running board just under the sliding
door. This drain is connected directly to your fresh water tank and will allow you to drain the fresh
water tank when the vehicle is not in use.
The vehicle is also equipped with low point drain valves, these valves will allow you to drain all the fresh
water lines in the vehicle. The low point drains are located below the center of the vehicle just in front
of the fuel tank on the driver side. To use these drains ensure all water taps and toilet valve are in an
open position.

Water Pump

The water pump is located in the kitchen in the lower shelf.
If the pump will not prime, please check:
- make sure there is water in the holding tank
- make sure that the battery is not run down
- make sure the waterlines are tight to the pump and to the filter
- check for leaks at inlet fitting and filter (if air is leaking into inlet fittings, tighten fittings or apply clamps
as necessary)
- the inline flow filter, located beside your water pump.
If the water pressure drops:
- make sure faucet aerators are clean
- check to make sure there is water in the holding tank
- check to make sure the battery is not run down
- check faucets and connections for leaks.
If the pump runs when there is no apparent demand for water:
- make sure there is water in the holding tank
- check all faucets and fixtures to make sure they are all shut off and not leaking
- check line for leaks
