Chassis
For information regarding proper maintenance and other important chassis details, refer
to the Chassis Packet information. You, as the owner, are responsible for taking proper
precautions when attempting any repair or maintenance for your motorhome. If you are
not sure what action to take, or are uncomfortable with performing a maintenance or repair
function, contact your selling dealer, or a designated chassis manufacturer servicing dealer for
assistance. Contact your chassis manufacturer for a service dealer near you.

Class A Motorhome Engine Access

IF THE ENGINE COVER IS NOT SEATED CORRECTLY, EXHAUST GASES MAY LEAK
INTO THE MOTORHOME, CREATING A DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL
SITUATION.
Your Class A motorhome's engine can be accessed for service from inside the motorhome. If
you cannot locate the engine cover, please contact your selling dealer or TMC Customer Care
for assistance. When reinstalling the engine cover, make sure that it is seated correctly without
obstruction from carpet, floor mats, etc.

Chassis Alternator

The 12 volts DC chassis alternator supplies power to both the automotive systems as well as
any auxiliary battery if equipped, and directly to the motorhome living quarters while the
vehicle motor is running. The alternator compensates for electrical usage in the vehicle, the
power drawn by lights, fans, and other 12 volt powered items as well as the charging of the
automotive and auxiliary batteries.
