pans on the range, or free-standing furniture can become dangerous projectiles during a
sudden stop.
Be aware of GVWR, GAWR, and individual load limit on each tire or set of duals.
Never load the motorhome in excess of the gross vehicle weight rating or the gross axle
weight rating for either axle.
MAINTENANCE
Do not remove the radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Always check
coolant level visually at the see-through coolant reservoir.
NEVER get beneath a vehicle that is held up by a jack only.
Do not mix different construction types of tires on the vehicle. Replace tires with exact
size, type, and load range.
EMERGENCY EXITS
In the living areas of the motorhome, there are emergency exit windows (Figure 2-8 and 2-9)
These windows 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.
Figure 2-9: Emergency Exit Latch
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).
