Extended Or Full Time Usage; Cold Weather Usage - Jayco REDHAWK 2023 Owner's Manual

Section 2: Occupant Safety
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the recreation vehicle by opening all windows and circulate
the air with a fan.
This label is located inside the vehicle near the entry
door. The label should be left permanently affixed
to the recreation vehicle.

Extended Or Full Time Usage

Your new recreation vehicle has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not
intended for use as full-time quarters or a permanent residence. Continuous living in your
vehicle could cause accelerated wear and damage to the various components.
Continuous or permanent living in your recreation vehicle may affect your
warranty coverage and may void the "Limited Warranty" applicable to your
vehicle.

Cold Weather Usage

When used in freezing or below freezing temperatures, the precautions should be taken:
Fresh water and drainage systems - preparations to avoid freeze-ups.
Propane gas (if so equipped) and sufficient power is needed for protection from
possible freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator. Keep in mind that more frequent
furnace operation will substantially increase battery draw and propane gas use.
During cool weather usage, ventilation or addition of a dehumidifier may be re-
quired to reduce condensation.
Check outside extrusions on compartment doors, locks, slide outs, windows,
vents, etc., for frozen moisture before operating to avoid damage to parts.
Condensation
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with climate
conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there is water
vapor present in the air. When the temperature reaches the "dew point" the water vapor in
the air condenses and changes to a liquid form.
Proper ventilation or the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist in controlling
the condensation. Suggestions to eliminate warm moist air:
Crack open windows and roof vents to allow warm moist air to escape.
Open the bath roof vent (if so equipped) approximately ½" when showering.
Use the range hood fan (if so equipped) when cooking or washing dishes.
Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes) inside the recreation vehicle to dry.
If found in cabinets or closets, open the doors slightly to provide ventilation.
Condensation may cause dampness, mildew, mold, staining and, if allowed to
continue, it may result in damage to the recreation vehicle (damage caused by
condensation is not warrantable). It can also lead to mold or mildew issues,
which could be a health hazard.
