CAMPING & OPERATING
If condensation is found in cabinets or
closets, open the door slightly to equalize
the temperature and provide ventilation.
Open windows and roof vents, when
possible, to allow warm moist air to
escape.

The 12-volt DC attic fan (or powered roof vent)
allows fresh air to circulate through the RV.
Read the OEM operator's manual for detailed
operational instructions. If you have any
questions contact your RV dealer or visit the
manufacturer's website.
Do not leave the attic fan in active automatic
mode when the RV is stored or unattended for
long periods. High winds, other unusual
conditions or obstructions may prevent the
dome from closing. The resulting leakage
could cause damage.

There are may be up to two 12-volt DC
thermostats in your RV. Use the controls to set
the temperature to your comfort setting. Read
the OEM operator's manual for detailed
operational instructions. If you have any
questions contact your RV dealer or visit the
manufacturer's website.

ONDITIONER
Your RV has a roof mounted air conditioning
system that is controlled by a thermostat.
Cooled air enters the RV through the
adjustable "chill grill." Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating the
air conditioner (refer to Sec. 2 Electrical
Systems, Calculating electrical load). Do not
operate the air conditioner without the return
air filter. Operating the system without the filter
allows the lint and dirt that is normally stopped
by the filter to accumulate on the cooling coil of

the air conditioner. This also will lead to a loss
of air volume, possible equipment damage
and an expensive cleaning process.
If the optional second air conditioner (located
in the cargo area) was factory-installed the
ducting is tied into the primary air conditioner
(located in the bedroom). For maximum
cooling efficiency, run both air conditioners
simultaneously.
Maintenance
A special foam gasket is placed between the
roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
The air conditioner is subjected to wind
pressures along with motor vibration during
normal operation. Inspect the mounting bolts
for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Re-tighten bolts
when they are loose. DO NOT over tighten
these bolts as it may damage this gasket. To
gain access to the bolts, remove the filtered
panel cover on central air systems or the entire
air box on non-central air conditioners.

Consult the OEM operator's manual your RV
dealer for more information.

WARNING
To ensure your personal safety, do not
obstruct or alter the furnace in any manner.
Do not install screens over the vent for any
reason. Screens will become restricted and
cause unsafe furnace operation. For your
safety, only OEM factory authorized parts
are to be used on your furnace.
The RV furnace installed in the RV is
controlled by a thermostat. The furnace
requires both 12-volt power and propane gas
for full operation. Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating
your furnace (refer to Sec. 2 Electrical
Systems, Calculating electrical load). Read
