Ceiling and Directional Lighting

All lighting in the touring coach is LED and most will
require a replacement fixture should it burn out or
malfunction� Two sets of remote switches are located
on the wall behind the second row passenger side
captain's chair or on the side of the galley when
entering the touring coach, depending on the model�
The first set of switches contains a main disconnect
switch, a red disconnect indicator light, a red lighted
switch for the tank heaters, and a switch for the step
lock extend� The second set of switches is used to
control the patio lights, aisle lights, dimmer control, and
ceiling lights�
The third set, under the galley roof lockers, contain
switches for the galley lights, accent lights, water
pump, and bath lights�
Always replace the light bulb or light fixture
with the correct bulb or matching fixture for that
light. Always be sure power is tuned off and bulb
or fixture is cool before removing. Take proper
precautions for a broken bulb or fixture to prevent
lacerations. Failure to heed these Warnings could
cause fire, property damage, personal injury, or

death.

Storage Tips

Kitchen cabinets should have the heaviest items
stored on the bottom and lighter items overhead� After
loading, put skillets and canned goods on the floor or
bottom shelf, and cereals and crackers in the overhead
roof locker� Use unbreakable-type plates and saucers,
and consider storing your dish towels around them�
Clothes hung in wardrobes should be kept on hangers
that snap over the clothes rods to keep them from
bouncing off on rough roads� Evening dresses should
be kept in plastic bags similar to those dry cleaning
businesses use� Dust will work its way into the touring
coach and soil clothes� Try to avoid large bulky coats�
Layers of lighter clothing will usually keep you warmer,
are more versatile, and are easier to store�
Keep flammable material away from the furnace.
