General Information and Operation

Main Door

The main door of the trailer is manufactured with a
built-in keyed dead bolt and door lock� The door lock is
engaged from the inside by a lever and the dead bolt is
engaged by turning the knob�
A main door hold-back is mounted on the trailer's
exterior side skin� The hold back secures the door to
the side of the trailer� When opening the door, push it
gently into the spring-operated slide� To release the
door, slide the hold-back bolt back�
For lubrication and out-of-adjustment issues, refer to
Section 8 - Maintenance�
CAUTION
When towing, the door lock and dead bolt must be
secured. If it is not locked, the constant vibration
of travel may cause the door to open resulting in
possible damage.

Screen Door

The screen door is secured to the main door by a slide
bolt-type latch� It can be operated independently by
releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door
away from the main door�

Rear Hatch and Screen

Unique to the Tommy Bahama models is the rear hatch
and pull-down screen� With the handle in the latched
position (shown above), lift up and rotate the handle
clockwise, till the handle is in the opposite direction,
to unlatch the door and pull open� When closing the
hatch make sure the handle is in the unlatched, left
side, position� Close the hatch and rotate the handle
counter-clockwise so that the handle is in the latched,
right side, position� Always be sure to lock the rear
hatch when not in use� When the rear hatch is opened
a screen can be pulled down from the hatch's upper
threshold and latched, via magnets, onto the floor.
To open, simply pull up on the screen and allow it to
retract upwards�

Door Bell

The Tommy Bahama trailer is equipped with a door
bell system that is powered by 4 C batteries� The door
bell is located behind the flip-up shelf on the entrance
wall� The button to operate the door bell is located right
outside the main entrance door�

Emergency Escape Windows

To remove the screen, pull out the screen cord by the
cord loop at the bottom portion of the window� Turn
the two red latches inward and lift the two red arms on
each side, in unison, to open the window and push it
out for clearance�

Front End Protection

Window Stone Guards

Stone guards may be provided for added protection
on the front windows� To open the guard, unhook the
two rubber T-handles on the bottom of the guard, raise
the stone guard to the desired height, and tighten
the thumb screws on each support arm� Be sure to
lower and fasten the guard when high winds may be
approaching and before travel�

Wrap Protectors

The front end of the trailer exterior shell may be
equipped with stainless steel protectors covering the
lower corner wraps� The protectors provide added
protection from road damage� The protectors can
be moved out of the way for cleaning the shell by
unbolting and swinging the protectors forward on the
hinge�

Step

To operate the step, lift up on the front of the step and
pull straight out until step locks into place� Some units
will be equipped with a double step� After extending the
step, the second portion folds out� To store the step,
fold it back into position, lift the front slightly, and push
the step back into its storage area�
CAUTION
Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to
make sure they are secure in their notches. Never
travel with step lowered or extended.
