CARGO RAMP DOOR
(See page 34)
The cargo ramp when used as a
ramp or a patio has a maximum
weight/occupancy capacity that
is listed on decals on or near
the ramp. Do not exceed these
ratings at any time.
The cargo ramp door is spring
assisted to aid in opening and
closing the ramp door.
Select a site for unloading that will
provide a level/flat surface for the
ramp door to rest on. Make sure the
RV wheels are chocked to prevent
the trailer from moving. Make
sure there are no people, pets, or
equipment in the way when opening
the ramp door.
Manual Ramp Door
1.
Lessen the transition angle between the rear of the cargo floor
and the cargo door ramp by using the tongue jack to raise the
front of the trailer. To prevent damage to the ramp door and
extension ramp this should be done prior to lowering the cargo
ramp door.
2.
Unlock the Tailgater Kitchen (if equipped) and swing it away from
the rear ramp door.
3.
Unlock the exterior vise latches securing the bar latch handles.
4.
Push up on the bar latch handles that hold the ramp door in
place, and move them to the outside of the trailer to avoid
contact when opening the ramp door.
5.
Using caution, pull the ramp door open. Support the ramp door at
all times and do not let it drop to the ground.
For automated ramp doors (if equipped), turn the keyed power switch
ON, the press and hold the momentary switch to lower the door.
To close the manual ramp door
As the trailer is being loaded, make sure that stored vehicle(s) and/or
equipment do not damage the ramp door seals. Remove any debris
(sand, snow, etc.) from around the ramp door before closing it. To
close the ramp door, reverse the above process. Secure the ramp
door by locking the vice latches.
Do not move the RV until the cargo ramp door is closed and secured.
Manual Ramp Door Support Cables
The manual ramp door can be closed with the patio support cables
attached to the ramp door and the door frame. Inspect all ramp door
components each trip for wear or damage. Contact your RV dealer for
a service appointment if repairs are needed.

VEHICLE OPERATION
Ramp Weight Warning Decal Examples
Automated Ramp Door (if equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with an automated ramp door. Follow all
precautions and warnings listed previously for the manual ramp door.
Exterior Keyed Switch
The automated ramp door is operated with a
keyed switch located on the outside of the RV
(off door side) next to the shore power plug.
Insert the key in the key switch and turn it ON.
Press and hold the momentary switch down to
lower the ramp door. The switch must be held
until the door is completely lowered. If you
release the switch, the door will stop until the
switch is pressed and held again.
With the key ON, press and hold the momentary switch UP to raise
the ramp door. When the ramp door is closed, release the switch and
turn the key OFF.
Automated Ramp Door Support Cables
(See page 34)
The cables used to hold the ramp door in the patio
configuration MUST be removed from the door when
not in use. If the cables are not removed when the
door is closed, they will interfere with the door latch
mechanism preventing the door from closing and
possibly damaging the mechanism.
Remove the top end of each cable by releasing the
quick links (A) holding it to the door frame. Unscrew
each quick link and remove the cable and the quick
link together from the top of the door on each side.
DO NOT LEAVE THE QUICK LINK ON THE DOOR
FRAME.
To release each cable at the side of the ramp door,
unclip the safety pins (B) and slide the pin out of
the door bracket. DO NOT PUT THE SAFETY PIN
BACK IN THE DOOR BRACKET.
