Located on the side of your trailer is a gray coax inlet box. Lifting the cover
reveals the receptacle to connect Cable or Satellite TV coax line to your trailer.
WINTER TRAVELING
Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require certain precautions to pro-
tect the plumbing system and your personal belongings from being damaged
by freezing.
Whenever possible the heat should be kept on at a constant temperature. It is
easier for the furnace to keep a constant room temperature than for the trailer
temperature to be allowed to drop to 50 degrees Fahrenheit then attempt to
raise it to room temperature.
The furnace on the Sport model is ducted to provide heat to the below floor
water tanks to prevent freezing.
nOTiCE
: Drain and winterize all models if the water systems are not
being used during winter traveling. See winterizing section in this manual
for instructions.
Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while moving. While traveling in
these states you must use your common sense. How cold is it? How long will it
be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the temperature dropping or rising?
Remember, when towing at 50 MPH the wind chill factor will cause the interior
of the trailer to cool much faster than a trailer that is parked.
When parked in sub-freezing temperatures make sure you keep a full supply
of LP gas and plug into a 110 volt power source whenever possible. A fully
charged battery will not last more than 8 to 10 hours if the furnace is running
almost constantly and 110-volt power is not available.
Leave cabinet doors, wardrobes and bed doors partially open to allow warm
air to circulate around plumbing lines and fixtures. Insulate and/or wrap your
exterior water lines with heat tape.
EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY
Your trailer was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occu-
pancy. If you expect to occupy the trailer for an extended period, be prepared
to deal with condensation and the humid conditions that may be encountered.
