Exterior Compartments - Fleetwood 1998 American Tradition Owner's Manual

YOUR MOTOR HOME
Exterior storage compartments maximize available space and
should accommodate most of your storage needs. All of the
storage compmtments, except the LP gas and generator compmt-
ments, can be locked. Fire prevention regulations require that the
LP gas and generator compmtments be unlocked at all times.
Please note: Your motor home could be overloaded or out of
balance if not properly loaded. Refer to the
Motor Home
Loading section of the On The Road chapter of this manual,
and follow the loading and weighing instructions in that
section. When storing equipment and supplies:
»
Always keep tools and equipment stored in areas where
they will not shift while traveling.
»
Whenever possible, place heavy articles in storage com-
partments which are low and in the best location for better
weight distribution. Pack articles carefully in the storage
compartments to minimize shifting. If necessary, use straps
to prevent movement.
»
Be sure liquid containers are capped and cannot tip or spill.
Secure all glass containers and dishes before traveling.
»
Exterior storage compartments may not be watertight in all
climate conditions. Carry any articles which could be dam-
aged by water inside the motor home.
The closets and cabinets have friction catches along one edge
of the door. Overhead doors may have supports to hold them
open. Drawers rest in notches when they are closed. To open
drawers, lift up slightly, then pull open.
Closets may be equipped with 12-volt lights that tum ON when
the closet door is opened. Be sure the light goes OFF when the
closet door is closed-your battery will be discharged if it stays
ON. If the light stays on when the door is closed, the door
switch requires adjustment. The same loading considerations
apply to interior storage areas as to exterior. Consult the
Motor
Home Loading section in the On The Road chapter.
