    Section 4: Vehicle Operation Vehicle Operation Your motor home will travel safely and comfortably at highway speed limits. However, it will take longer than a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Allow more time to go around the vehicle you are passing. Avoid situations that might require sudden momentum changes as the length of the motor home affects your ability to quickly cut back into traf- fic.

  • Page 34: Towing Behind Your Motor Home

    Section 4: Vehicle Operation Towing Behind Your Motor Home Do not install a frame equalizing type hitch on your motor home. Towing will affect vehicle handling, durability and fuel economy. Exceeding any of the listed weight ratings will result in unacceptable overall vehicle performance. Your safety and satisfaction require proper use of correct equipment.

  • Page 35: Power Entrance Step

    Section 4: Vehicle Operation Contact your dealer for assistance in determining whether a separate braking system is rec- ommended for your towing and traveling safety. Failure to follow these instructions will create a safety hazard and may result in an accident. Maintenance Keep the hitch clean along with your general frame maintenance.

  • Page 46 Section 4: Vehicle Operation Alignment, balance and bearing wear will affect tire wear. Make sure to look for cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc. Tire wear should be checked frequently. Once a wear pattern becomes firmly established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is cor- rected.

  • Page 47: Changing A Tire

    Section 4: Vehicle Operation should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel, tires heat up and pressure increas- es. Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires may then be under-inflated. ™ NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has not been used for three or more hours, or has been driven less than one mile.

  • Page 48: Awnings

    Section 4: Vehicle Operation Awnings Awnings must be closed (and secured) while the RV is in transit. Keep clear of arm assemblies while opening, adjusting or closing the aw- ning. Failure to obey this caution could result in injury and/or property damage.
  • Page 49 Section 4: Vehicle Operation stowage (rolled up). Leave the awning open during warm weather to minimize wrinkling. A slight “travel line” may appear where the door roller (if installed) contacts the fabric. This is normal and does not affect the integrity of the fabric. To clean the fabric: Open the awning.

  • Page 64: Batteries

    Section 6: Electrical System Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to pre- vent ingestion of foreign material and potential short circuit conditions. Batteries Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near the batteries that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals.
  • Page 65 Section 6: Electrical System disconnected from 120-volt shore or generator power (i.e., while dry camping or tailgating) all electrically operated appliances and accessories must be used sparingly. During this period these appliances and accessories are being powered by the house auxiliary batteries directly, and/or indirectly through the inverter/charger.

  • Page 66: Load Center

    Section 6: Electrical System Battery Isolation Manager Your motor home is equipped with a Battery Isolation Manager (BIM) that monitors the battery voltage of both the chassis and house batteries over long periods of time. If it senses a charging voltage it connects the two batteries together. If the charge system is overbur- dened, it isolates both batteries.

  • Page 67: 120-Volt Circuit Breakers

    Section 6: Electrical System The ATS will disconnect from shore power completely if the power coming in is not high enough quality (i.e. either low/high voltage, or low/high frequency). When the generator is operating, it powers the inverter/charger which in turn functions as a multi-stage battery charger to charge the house auxiliary and chassis batteries.

The entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg.

  • Page 70: Generator

    Section 6: Electrical System The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 50 AMP current flow required to power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle. Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it.

  • Page 71: Starting The Generator

    Section 6: Electrical System STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak. Have all leaks repaired prior to placing the generator back in service. Excessive usage can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not engage the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time.
