braking technique and pull off the roadway a safe distance
from traffic (if possible). Set the parking brake and turn on
the hazard warning flashers, especially when parked

An emergency road kit should include at least three reflective warning
signs, road flares, a flashlight, spare automotive fuses and an assortment of
hand tools. For added safety a separate fire extinguisher should be considered.
The motorhome is equipped with a fire extinguisher located inside next to
the co-pilot seat. Road flares or reflective warning signs should be displayed if
the motorhome is alongside of the road for any length of time.
Guidelines for placing the warning triangles depend upon the road
characteristics and visibility. For example: The standard placement is 10 feet,
100 feet and 200 feet from the rear of the motorhome when on a divided highway
or one-way road. On a two-way road, with traffic traveling both directions, the
same placement would also be required at the front of the motorhome. Roads
with curves and hills may require the placement of the last/furthest triangle to be
500 feet behind the motorhome in order to safely warn approaching traffic.
The retractable light is located in places of limited lighting
for emergency purposes, such as outside access of the rear
engine compartment and the roadside electrical compartment.
To Use the Retractable Light:
1. The bay light switches (located just inside the entry
door) will need to be turned on. Activate light by
moving ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
2. The light is on an 18' retractable reel cord. To
operate, lift the lever and pull the light out.
3. The light has a magnetic base attached. Locate a
place to attach the light so you can work hands free.
4. To replace bulb push down on clear plastic cover and
twist.
5. To rewind, crank the handle in the retract direction.
