LP GAS SYSTEM

Your motorhome is equipped with a Liquid Propane (LP) gas system that provides power to
appliances that are designed to run off this. The storage tank is located under the chassis and can
be accessed from the lower exterior access door behind the driver side door. The main shutoff valve
and filler valve for the LP gas is located here.

LP gas containers shall not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. LP gas containers are equipped
with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.

NOTE: 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
is limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle, and 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.

BEFORE OPERATION
1. Open a source of ventilation.

NOTE: 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.

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.

Also do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle,
because a fire or explosion may result.

VAULTS

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, grey, and black water tanks are located underneath the
floor.

To fill the fresh water tank you would use the gravity water fill located on the drivers side of the van.
First unlock the water fill compartment and’remove the large cap, then place the water hose into the
fill. Turn on the water but not on high pressure, because you may have water spilling out at you.
There are two ways of knowing when your water tank is full, either by checking the monitor panel
located inside your coach or 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 tank, this is probably open. This tap is there to help you drain your fresh water tank
without having to open the taps and pump it out.

The city water connection is located in the same locking compartment as the gravity fill. The city
water connection is a convenience for you when you have access to an outside 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 turned off as well. Attach your water hose and turn on the
water supply moderately to prevent excessive water force in the unit. 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. The city water system by-passes 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.

WATER PUMP TROUBLE SHOOTING
The water pump is located in the cabinet below the sink.

1. IF PUMP WILL NOT PRIME
- check to make sure there is water in the holding tank.
- check to make sure that the battery is not run down.
- check for kinks in the inlet water line.
- check for leaks at inlet fittings. If air is leaking into inlet fittings, tighten fittings or apply clamps
as necessary.
- check for clogged lines.

2. IF 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.

3. IF 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.

WATER HEATER

Your motorhome is equipped with a 6 gallon water heater located on the interior near the right rear
corner below the sofa/bed. Refer to the manufacturer’s instruction manual for lighting and
maintenance instructions. Ensure there is water in the tank prior to turning the burner on to heat the
water.

LP gas is automatically supplied to the main burner to heat water to a desired temperature and then
automatically shut off. A regulated mixture of gas and air is ignited automatically providing a flame
which is directed into the heating tube. The heating assembly is sealed off from the RV interior and
is vented to the outside.

See manufacturer's operating instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING

1. WATER KEEPS RUNNING IN BOWL
- check to see if all the levers returned all the way back. Sticking may be caused by foreign
material on the waste valve blade seal at the bottom of the bowl. If the problem persists,
replace the water vaive.

2. TOILET LEAKS, THERE IS WATER ON THE FLOOR
- if the leak is in the back of the toilet, check the waste supply line connection and refer to
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 for tightness.

3. POOR FLUSH
- the levers must be held fully open during the flush. A good 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.

SHOWER

To protect the surface of your ABS plastic shower pan. it is recommended that a rubber shower mat
be placed in the shower pan. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean your shower compartment. Do
not use highly concentrated or high acid content household cleaners, as these may damage the
shower compartment.

HOW TO WINTERIZE YOUR PLEASURE-WAY
1. Turn the furnace fan contro! switch located on the bottom of the thermostat OFF.

2. Drain your fresh water, black water and grey water holding tanks underneath your vehicle. Do this
at an appropriate sanitary dumping station.

3. Your unit is equipped with a water heater by-pass valve located at the intake of the water heater.
Turn the valves in the gpposite position that they are in now and the antifreeze will bypass the
water heater.

4. Drain your water heater tank by accessing the tank from the exterior vent door and unscrewing
the plug into the tank.

5. On the inlet side of the water pump, connect a hose with the other end in a gallon of non toxic RV
antifreeze. Let the antifreeze pump through the lines by turning on both the hot and cold water
taps in the sinks and allowing a cup of antifreeze to remain in the p-traps under the sinks to
winterize these components. Also if you have a faucet for a shower, run the antifreeze into the p-
trap under the shower pan through the drain. Flush the toilet a few times until the antifreeze
appears.

6. Now your PLEASURE-WAY is winterized and your water system is ready for winter (if you have
winter). To get your water system ready for use again, simply fill your fresh. water tank with water
and flush the antifreeze out of the lines, then it is ready for use.

NOTE:
After flushi ut the antifreeze, remember to return the water heater by-pass valves to their,
normal position. —

WINTER USE

We recommend that the water system not be used when the outside temperature drops below the
freezing point and that your unit should be winterized by that time. If it is necessary to use the water
system during this time, we suggest that you bring containers of fresh water with you and add non
toxic RV antifreeze to the gray and black water holding tanks. NOTE remember that as you add
more water to the holding tanks the antifreeze will dilute more than the recommended amount and
may start to freeze earlier at cold temperatures.

LIVING AREA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The motorhome living area electrical system is designed for convenience. It is capable of supplying
the vehicle with at least two sources of power.

A 12 volt auxiliary battery supplies power to the interior components (except the plug receptacles,
roof air conditioner, microwave, fridge and coffee maker) for short term use. This battery is
automatically charged when the motorhome is running.

For long term use, your vehicle may be powered by plugging into a 110 volt external power source
with the supplied 30 foot power cable. This will supply 110 volt power throughout the interior, supply
power through a power convertor to all 12 volt components and charge the auxiliary battery.

The furnace and range operate only on LP gas and the refrigerator can operate on all 3 sources (LP
gas, 12 volt and 110 volt}. The furnace fan operates on 12 volts.

Your unit is equipped with a 110/12 volt power convertor. Its function is to take part of the 110 volt
current that is received when the unit is plugged into an external power source and changes it to 12
volts which powers most of the motorhome components as well as provide 110 volt power to the
components that only require 110 volts.

12 VOLT MANUAL RESET BREAKERS

Your motorhome has three manual resetting breakers that control incoming 12 volt power. Access
to these is through the side aisle compartment door underneath the passenger side sofa/bed (on all
models except Excel-MP and MPL models). In the Excel-MP and MPL models, access is through
the rear aisle door underneath the rear sofa/bed.

These three breakers have a 40, 30 and 15 amp capacity. The 40 amp breaker controls the charge
line from the chassis battery to your auxiliary battery and charge line for the auxiliary battery while
you are driving. The 30 amp breaker controls the power convertor and the 15 amp breaker controls
the refrigerator when it is running on 12 volts.

If you are experiencing any difficulties with either your auxiliary battery, power convertor, or
refrigerator when on 12 volts, check these breakers first to see that they are not tripped. The small
-teset.buttan is located on the side of the breaker and push this in if it is tripped.
