Exterior

Awning

Complete operating instructions have been provided
with your Zip Dee awning� Make sure your traveling
companion is familiar with the operation of the awning�
The awning's primary function is sun protection,
therefore, roll up your awning in case of heavy rain,
wind, or snow� To prevent water buildup on the awning
during a light rain, position one upper arm lower than
the other to create enough of a slope for adequate
water runoff�
Clear tape is placed between the exterior skin and the
awning fabric to prevent the awning fabric from rubbing
on the coating, thus wearing through it� Inspect the
tape every year or after a long trip� Have it replaced if it
begins to wear thin�
NOTE
If wind or extended periods of rain are expected,
roll up the awning and secure in traveling position.
CAUTION
The effects of wind and rain on any awning are
unpredictable. Severe damage to the trailer and/or
the awning may result and cannot be covered by
warranty.

City Water Hookup

The city water hook-up is located on the side of the
trailer. For consistent water flow and plumbing line
safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 65 PSI�
Use a tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2 in� diameter designed for RV use�
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread�
We suggest you carry two lengths of hose in order to
reach hookups farther away than normal, plus, to have
a spare�
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city
water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet�
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system� If the water
heater is empty, it will take some time before all the air
is expelled and a steady flow of water occurs at the
faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet
the others should be opened long enough to expel the
air in the lines going to them�
Your plumbing system has a built-in pressure regulator
to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high
pressures on some city water systems�

TV and Receptacle Inlets

An exterior inlet for TV and an inlet for a 110 volt
receptacle is located on the side of the trailer and is
labeled for your convenience� It also includes a hookup
for a portable satellite dish�
