Windows
The windows on the Allegro Bus are of the sliding type. These double-pane windows also provide additional
thermal control (i.e., insulation) to maintain interior temperatures better. In the double-pane windows, a "dead

then moved out of the way when no longer desired.
In the bedroom, one particular window will be marked with an "EXIT" label—this is an emergency escape
(Figure 13-1) to be used only when normal exits are blocked or inaccessible. To use this emergency escape,
merely lift the red handles at the bottom of the window and push outwards to open the window. Should it be
necessary to use this exit, please look for a secure footing when exiting so that no personal injury is sustained in
the process. It is also prudent, when parking the motor home, to be aware of where this "emergency-exit"
window will be situated so that it is not inadvertently blocked or impeded from its normal, intended operation,
should such become necessary.
Awnings
Your Allegro Bus may be equipped with a power patio awning and controller (Figure 13-2). If so, use the
following directions to operate the awning properly: NOTE: You may first have to program the key fob
which can remotely activate the awning; please consult the owner's manual for the power awning for directions
on the programming process. It is imperative that you read the specific owner's manual for the awning located
in the Owner's Information Package.
Extending the Awning:
1. First, examine the area where the awning is to be deployed and make sure that there are no
obstructions that may impede the opening of the awning.
2. Make sure that the weather conditions warrant opening the
awning; for example, the wind isn't too blustery or no major
storm fronts are soon to be expected in the immediate area.
3. One can either use the remote rocker switch located on the
awning control box (Figure 13-2) or the key fob (Figure 13-3)
to deploy the awning. For the remote rocker switch located on
the control box, press and hold the "Extend" button for three

air" space (filled with a dry, inert gas) is sealed between the two panes
of glass—this "dead air" space provides additional thermal insulation
for the windows and prevents them from fogging internally.
Additionally, there may be a reflective coating on the windows to
reflect back a portion of the sunlight to reduce the heating of the
motor-home interior and to reduce the effects of the sun's
"bleaching" of interior fabrics (curtains, upholstery).
For both the driver's and the passenger's windows, additional sun
shades are available to permit blockage of the sun's rays which may
interfere with driving. These shades can be deployed, as needed, and
