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 motorhome 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. Damage to the motorhome
as a result of incorrect parking will not be covered under warranty.
3) When storing your 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 switched to the OFF position, and all electrical appliances are turned off.
4) When storing your Pleasure-Way mnotorhome 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.
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
Liquid 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 LP tank and regulator is found under the vehicle. The regulator is on the driver side generator bracket.

Regulator

An LP 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.
The main propane shut-off switch is located in the driver side utility center.

Propane fill, breather valve and BBQ quick connect are located on the driver side 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 or 100% when the LP tank is 80% full.

24







Warning: Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle, as 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 the danger 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 a 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 the cooktop to cool before closing the glass cover.

LP appliances are: Fridge, Cooktop, 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 selfpriming 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 psi. 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 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 flows back through the gravity fill. NOTE: If you notice water running out
from underneath the van, check the drain tap located on the side of the fresh water tank to ensure the valve is closed.
This tap is there to help you drain your fresh water tank.

City Water Connection
The city water connection is located in the driver 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 and then unhook the water line.
NOTE: It is advisable to use a water pressure regulator because excessive pressure may result in water line damage.

26

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 passenger side running board above the fresh water drain spigot.
To use these drains ensure all water taps and the toilet valve are in an open position. There will be two low point drains
for the Girard water heater and three low point drains for the Truma water heater.

Water Pump Trouble Shooting
Located in the cabinet below the kitchen sink. The water pump has a removable filter that should be checked regularly.

The water pump is located in the kitchen in the lower shelf.
The inline flow filter is located on the inlet side of the water pump.
If the pump will not prime, ensure:
- there is water in the holding tank;
- that the battery is not run down;
- the waterlines are tight to the pump and to the filter;
- there are no leaks at the inlet fitting and filter (if air is leaking into inlet fittings, tighten fittings or apply clamps as
necessary);
- the inline flow filter is clean.
If the water pressure drops, ensure that:
- the faucet aerators are clean;
- there is water in the holding tank;
- the battery is not run down;
- the faucets and connections are free of leaks;
If the pump runs when there is no apparent demand for water, ensure that:
- there is water in the holding tank;
27

- all faucets and fixtures are shut off and not leaking;
- the water lines are free of leaks.
WATER HEATER:
The water heater is located under the fridge or closet, next to the furnace vent. You will have to remove the access
panel to inspect water lines or adjust bypass valves. Access to the working mechanism of the water heater is through the
outside, vent door located mid-body on the driver side. The coach may be equipped with a Girard or Truma water
heater.

GIRARD ON DEMAND WATER HEATING SYSTEM (GSWH-2)

Unlike your home or previous RV water heater system, the on demand system does not have a tank that contains hot
water. The on demand system heats water to the desired temperature as needed. The water temperature will depend
on the flow rate of the water. A lower flow rate will give you hotter water.

Please refer to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
TOILET
Please refer to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Toilet Trouble Shooting:
1. Water keeps running in the bowl:
- check to see if the foot lever is all the way up. Sticking may be caused by foreign material on the
waste valve blade seal at the bottom of the toilet bowl. If the problem persists, you may need to
replace the water valve.
2. The toilet leaks and there is water on the floor:
- if the leak is at the back of the toilet, check the water supply line connection and refer to the
manufacturer’s installation instructions. If the leak is at the toilet flange area (where the toilet
mounts to the floor), check the toilet flange nuts and tighten them if necessary.
3. Poor flush pressure:
- the lever must be held fully down during the flush. An adequate flush should be
obtained within 2 to 3 seconds. If the problem persists, remove the water
supply line and check the water supply. The water supply rate should be at least
10 litres/2.5 gallons per minute to ensure an adequate flush.
