criteria.

This device should be tested after each time your vehicle has been in storage, before each trip, and at least once
each week during your travels.

-

Do not block air circulation in the area where the smoke detector is located.

interior. This detector will operate to detect liquid propane & carbon monoxide gas as well as other gasses that are
heavier than air. Your components that require LP gas are provided with complete ventilation to the exterior and are
sealed off to the interior for your added safety. This detector is powered by the auxiliary battery and is operating at all
times unless the battery is disconnected or the red disconnect switch is turned off.

against line-to-ground electrical shock hazards that could be harmful or even fatal. The outlets that are on this circuit
are the exterior, kitchen and rear bench receptacles. The GFCI receptacle must be tested at least once a month in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Refueling
When you are refueling your fuel tank or your propane system, ensure that your vehicle and your main LP valve is shut
off. Ensure that the pilot lights have been extinguished as well.
Some appliances in your vehicle have auto ignition. Ensure the appliances are shut off so ignition will not activate.


Warning: Even with the main LP valve shut off there is enough LP gas in the lines for the pilot lights to
continue to burn.

Filling the LP Gas Fuel Cylinder
The propane tank valve must be closed and all pilot lights and appliances, along with their igniters, must be turned off
during refueling of the motor fuel and / or the propane fuel tank. Only qualified personnel should refuel your propane
tank.
Do not refuel the propane tank to more than 80% of its capacity. Liquid will appear at the breather valve at 80%.
To reduce the danger of fire and/or explosion, do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside your vehicle.
NOTE: Ensure the propane system valve is fully shut when vehicle is in motion. It is not safe to travel while propane
appliances are in use. The Propane switch is located in the driver Utility Center.

Seat Belts
Only forward-facing seats equipped with factory installed seatbelts are to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. All
passengers must be seated in these seats only. Seat belts must be fastened while the vehicle is in motion.
Appliances
It is not safe to use cooking appliances to heat the interior of the coach due to the danger of asphyxiation. It is
recommended that you read all of the appliance owner / operating manuals prior to using the appliances.

TV Flat Screen

When the vehicle is in motion, it is necessary to have the flat screen television locked into travel position to
prevent damage to the flat screen and to the TV cabinet.

submerge the generator in water. Please refer to the generator owner / operating manual for proper use and
maintenance information. The generator is located behind the rear axle, between the frame rails. The
generator access door faces the rear of the vehicle.

Clearance
Your motorhome is equipped with underside holding tanks, waste tanks, plumbing lines, propane lines and
other RV related items. Please be careful when driving your motorhome on uneven or poorly maintained
roadways.
Emergency Escape
If the need to make an emergency escape from the interior of your motorhome arises, all interior doors are
equipped with access latches. Your choices of escape routes are as follows: the main entrance at the side
door, the driver and passenger side front doors and the rear doors.
