SECTION 8
CAMPING & OPERATING
Leveling the RV
Now that you have parked your RV, you need
to ensure it is level. Leveling is very important.
A level RV is more comfortable for sleeping
and walking. The refrigerator is designed to
operate when level for best performance due
to the absorption system. The water drainage
systems are designed with proper slope and
must be level for proper operation. The
appliances perform best when level.
Extended dry camping
For extended dry camping, management of all
your resources is essential. Conserve your
water supply. Check your propane and battery
levels (conserve the battery power, use it
sparingly.)
Cold Weather Usage
When used in freezing or below freezing
temperatures, the following precautions need
to be taken:
Proper care should be taken with the fresh
water and drainage systems to avoid
freeze-ups.
Propane gas and sufficient power is
needed for protection from possible
freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator.
Keep in mind that more frequent furnace
operation
will
battery draw and propane gas use.
During cool weather usage, ventilation or
addition of a dehumidifier will be required
to reduce condensation.

EYS
Several keys are provided when you purchase
your RV. Most keys have an individual key
number stamped on the plate. Record these
key numbers and keep the information in safe
place. You can order a key blank from your RV
dealer to have duplicate keys made. If you lose
the keys, contact your RV dealer or a locksmith
for assistance.
Make sure the keys are not inside the RV
before you close and lock the entrance
door.

CAUTION
Make sure the entrance door is completely
closed and locked when traveling. It is
dangerous to drive with the door not shut.
Locking the door helps prevent it from
opening
unintentionally
intruders from your RV.
The entrance door is located on the curbside
of the RV. We have included an assist grab
handle at the entrance door. The interior
portion of the entrance screen door is
equipped with a plastic slide panel that allows
access to the entrance door handle and locks.
The entrance door has both a regular door lock
and a dead bolt lock. Always hold onto the
entry door when opening or closing it; damage
caused by the entry door catch and holder
because you failed to do so is not covered by
the Towable Limited Warranty.
BE SAFE, LOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR
EXITING YOUR RV!
To keep your door operating in the manner in
which it was designed and delivered to you,
there is some routine maintenance that should
be performed regularly.
Strike plate or bolt adjustment
CAUTION
Do not adjust the lock if the RV is not level.
The door in your recreation vehicle was
installed and adjusted in a factory setting in a
level position. The setting of the striker plate or
bolt may change over the course of time and
road conditions, and that setting may need to
be changed or adjusted to insure that your
door operates as smoothly and efficiently as it
should.
