Emergency Exits; Parking Procedures - Tiffin Motorhomes Allegro Bus 2016 Owner's Manual

EMERGENCY EXITS

In the living areas of the motorhome, there are emer-
gency exit windows (Figure 2-9 and 2-10). These win-
dows are designed for emergency exits when it is not
practical to exit by the door, which also is an emergency
exit - in the front of the motorhome. These windows
are readily noticeable by their red handles and the red
"EXIT" label on the windows.

PARKING PROCEDURES

To park the motorhome in any unfamiliar terrain, examine the site for surface irregularities, slopes or
inclines, and other items such as stumps, rocks, external connections for power/water/sewage and also
examine the area immediately above the parking site for obstructions like tree branches and limbs,
signs, overhead wiring.
If the motorhome is to be backed into the parking site, try to have that site be on the driver's left-hand
side, as this will allow the driver to watch the rear of the motorhome. Back up slowly and use the side
mirrors and the back-up camera as a guide or, better yet, have another person outside providing guid-
ance to help park the motorhome.
When the motorhome is finally situated, shift the transmission into park, set the foot-operated park
brake, and then turn "off " the engine. Activate the hydraulic leveling system to level and stabilize the
motorhome.
If the motorhome is to be powered externally, connect the 120 VAC power to the motorhome. Turn

Figure 2-9: Emergency exit window
To use
these windows as emergency exits, lift the handle and
push outward on the window. As required, the window
can be closed by pulling the window inwards and then
lowering the handle to latch the window back in place.
When the motorhome is to be parked, it would be wise
to note where these windows will be so the exits won't
be blocked (e.g., against a tree, pole, or wall).
