coLD WEATHER USE

Please keep in mind, that your RV is not designed for use during sub-freezing weather. If you
plan to use your RV in freezing (or below freezing) temperatures, the following precautions
MUST to be taken:
• The freshwater and waste systems require added protection to avoid freezing.
• More frequent furnace operation, substantially increases battery draw and propane use.
Sufficient power and propane are required to protect against possible freeze-ups on the
propane regulator.
• Proper ventilation or the addition of a dehumidifier may be required to reduce conden-
sation.
• To avoid damage to parts, CHECK the outside of the RV for ice BEFORE operating the:
slide outs, compartment doors, locks, windows, vents etc.
• Turn on the tank heater
If you have further questions, please contact your dealer or Vanleigh RV Customer Service.
Vehicle/Generator Exhaust
Only operate a generator (if customer supplied) in an open outdoor area where the exhaust
can dissipate.
• To avoid the dangers of carbon monoxide, prevent exhaust gases from entering your RV.
• Close all entry/compartment doors, and windows near vehicle or generator exhaust.
