to make changes or additions to the RV, using only approved materials, component parts,
and employing approved methods of installation, which meet safety and code
requirements.

potential for a hazardous situation and personal injury. Make sure that
a qualified RV technician performs modifications if you choose to make

COLD WEATHER/EXTENDED USE

It is not intended to be used as full-time living quarters.
Caution: Continuous living in your trailer could cause accelerated wear and
damage to component parts. It also voids the warranty.
• Use of this trailer during cold weather will require more protection. Using skirting or
insulation below floor level will provide additional protection if you are camped in
one area for an extended period.
• Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and drainage systems to avoid
freezing problems. Consult with your independent, authorized dealer or RV supply
house for advice on heat tapes, etc.
• Adequate gas and electrical supply is needed along with protection from possible
freeze-ups on gas regulator. The furnace will substantially increase battery draw and
LP gas use.
• During cool weather usage, ventilation or the addition of a dehumidifier may be
required to reduce condensation. See the next section for important information on
controlling condensation.
