• Keep the rungs of the ladder clean and dry
while in use. Never use the ladder when it is
raining, snowing, or icy. The rungs can
become slippery. Do not step onto the rungs if
the rungs are wet, or if your shoes are wet or
carry mud or debris that could result in a loss
of footing.
• Never ignore warning labels or weight limits
defined on your ladder. The following
warning label is located on or near the ladder:
WARNING

Misuse of ladder could result in death or serious injury.

EFFECTS OF PROLONGED
OCCUPANCY
Your motorhome was designed primarily for
recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you
expect to occupy your motorhome for an
extended period, be prepared to deal with
condensation and humid conditions that may be
encountered.
12-10
Humidity and Condensation
Moisture condensing on the inside of
windows is a visible indication that there is too
much humidity inside the motorhome. Excessive
moisture can cause water stains or mildew, which
can damage interior items such as upholstery and
cabinets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive
moisture and condensation in your motorhome,
you should take immediate action to minimize
their effects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture
inside the motorhome by taking the following
steps:
Ventilate with outside air
Partially open one or more windows and a
roof vent to circulate outside air through the
motorhome. In cold weather, this ventilation may
increase use of the furnace, but it will greatly
reduce the condensation inside the motorhome.
Minimize moisture released inside the
motorhome
Run the range hood fan while cooking and
open a bath vent while bathing or showering to
carry water vapor out of the motorhome. Avoid
making steam from boiling water excessively or
letting hot water run. Avoid bringing extra
moisture into the motorhome by way of soaked
clothing or snow on shoes. Do not hang-dry wet
overcoats or clothing inside the motorhome.
