SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
NOTE: We recommend that you KEEP THE
ENGINE RUNNING WHILE
EXTENDING OR RETRACTING
SLIDEOUT ROOMS so the engine
alternator can provide maximum power
for proper operation of the slideout
mechanisms. After initially starting a
cold diesel engine the engine preheat
grid may cycle on and off for up to 90
seconds, the cycling of the preheat grid
will result in a momentary drop in
chassis battery voltage that may cause a
low voltage error in the slideout or
leveling controller. If this happens, wait
until the preheat grid is no longer cycling
to operate your slide room and leveling
jacks.
WARNING
CRUSH HAZARD. Keep people and
objects clear of the inside and outside of
the slideout room when operating. Failure
to comply could result in death or serious
injury.
To Extend Slideout Room
Before Extending!
•
Level the motorhome and set the Parking
Brake.
•
Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed
so that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
•
Ensure driver and co-pilot seat backs are clear
of slideout trim before extending slideout.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room extension.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
extended.

To Retract Slideout Room
Before Retracting!
•
Be sure the motorhome is level and the
Parking Brake is set.
•
Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed
so that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
•
Ensure driver and co-pilot seat backs are clear
of slideout trim before retracting slideout.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room retraction.
•
Stow all furniture extensions before retracting
slideout rooms to avoid property damage.

If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
retracted.
•
Remove all items from the motorhome living
room floor and close cabinet doors and

of the bed, behind the driver seat, or
protruding from compartments, which could
be crushed or cause damage to floor covering
