Before You Head Out Your new Roadtrek is ready to go with just a little bit of preparation. To prepare for your first trip, you should: Read this manual. • •...
Coming Home When you come home, there are a few maintenance tasks you should do to get your Roadtrek ready to go for next time. Refer to other sections in this manual for the procedures listed here. • On your way home, dump the gray and black tanks at a convenient facility. Visit the owner’s section of our website to read the HOWTO: Wastewater Dumping guide for a concise description of the procedure to do this.
Interior Living Space Cabinets Your Roadtrek is equipped with cabinet latches which prevent the door from opening while the vehicle is in motion. The pushbuttons on the cabinet latches toggle from latched (button in) to openable (button out) by pressing the button. (Pictures 13.1, 13.2) To open a cabinet, press the button to pop the latch, pull gently on the latch, and the cabinet door will open.
Page 13
Cabinets (Continued) Picture 14.1 Picture 14.3 Picture 14.2 Apply moderate upward pressure and GENTLE Each cabinet has an adjustable arm to hold the Turn screw clockwise to lower cabinet face outward pressure with both thumbs on the bottom door open (if it won’t latch), counterclockwise to raise it up corners of the door to open a stuck cabinet (if it won’t open)
Galley Cabinets Immediately beneath the galley countertop there two cabinets and one drawer to hold your kitchen supplies. The drawer underneath the stove pulls out and can be used to hold silverware and small cooking utensils. (Picture 15.1) Picture 15.1 Galley with propane cooktop Lights All but 2 of the coach lights are controlled via the control panel.
Tables The tables (Pictures 17.2, 18.1) can be set up to use either the front or rear lounge areas for dining, computer, gaming, or other recreational use. The table leg is stored in the closet to the left of the galley, next to the water heater. (Picture 16.1) The leg keys into a T-nut fitting in the floor plate. To install the table leg in the floor plate, unscrew the T-nut all the way on the end of the table leg and insert the T-nut into the key in the floor plate.
Page 16
Front Table Setup The vehicle will not drive unless the front seats are locked and forward facing. Picture 17.2 Front lounge table Picture 17.1 To rotate the front seats, lift on the front inside corner trim...
Captain’s Seats The two captain's seats in the front of your Roadtrek are adjustable fore-and-aft by pulling up on the bar under the front of the seat and will swivel when the inside corner is pulled up. Always return the seats to the forward-facing position when driving. They will lock into this position and stay locked until the swivel tab is raised again.
Window Treatments The nightshade curtain blocks airflow. (Picture 19.1) If you leave the window open, then close the nightshade, close all other windows, and then close the side door, it is possible for the curtain to get blown out of the track. Always close the window prior to closing the nightshade. The window curtains slide to the right and left.
Ventilation Your Roadtrek is equipped with a ceiling mounted ventilation fan. (Picture 21.1) The fan has a cover that must be raised by turning the large knurled knob or with the remote. Raise the cover, then use the remote to the desired speed and temperature.
Sleeping Facilities Your Roadtrek has beds that can be configured as twin beds (picture 22.1) or king bed (picture 22.2). Experiment with different configurations to find what works best for you. Picture Driver side: Picture • There is a perforated door installed on the driver’s side bed for exhaust of the hot air from the inverter which is instated at one position towards the front of the van.
Always engage this pin before moving the vehicle, even for a short distance. Using the Toilet The enclosed bathroom in the Roadtrek contains a marine toilet. To flush the toilet, press the foot pedal located at the bottom of the front of the toilet bowl. (Picture 25.2) Picture 25.1...
Shower Picture 26.1 Picture 26.2 Picture 26.3 Shower connection and knob Shower drain Shower curtain and light To take a shower, unscrew the drain stopper in the center of the bathroom floor. (Picture 26.2) Release the hook and loop fastener straps retaining the shower curtain and slide the shower curtain along its track to enclose the shower space.
Appliances The Smart TV is in the rear lounge area on the passenger side. The television uses 120 volts, so the inverter, generator, or shore power must be on and available for It to work. The TV is supplied with a remote control.
Microwave Oven The oven is a standard microwave oven. It operates much the same as the microwave at your house. It is probably lower powered, so cooking may take a bit longer. The microwave will operate from the batteries through the inverter for reheating purposes or other brief use. However, for extended microwave use, you must be connected to shore power or have the optional generator running.
Hot Water Your Roadtrek is equipped with a propane fired tankless water heater. The heater has no tank and operates on demand. At low flows water may be hot, while at high flows water may be cooler, this is normal. When you turn on the water heater you will not hear it fire up. It only ignites when it senses a water demand.
(Picture 30.2) The awning has two support struts that must be used to support the awning. (Picture 30.3) These are secured to the two attachment points on the side of the Roadtrek. Refer to the awning manual for the proper way of securing the awning supports to the attachments.
Page 27
If the power to the vehicle is not available, the awning can be safely retracted using the manual override located on the idler (right) end of the case. (Picture 30.4) This procedure cannot be used to extend the awning. 1. Remove the plug from the right end cap and save. 2.
Side Doorstep Your Roadtrek is equipped with a step that automatically extends when the side door is opened for easy entry and exit out of your vehicle. The controls can be accessed thru the firefly control unit. With the step switch on, the step will extend once when the door is open and remain extended even if the door is closed.
Rear Door Screen Roadtrek’s have a rear screen which allows you to open the rear doors to get fresh air and a better view, without bugs coming in or (attended) pets going out. (Picture 33.1, 32.2, 32.3) The screen is attached to the rear door frame and cargo area floor. Along the bottom of the screen you can find three large pockets that can be used to store a range of different items.
Side Door Screen In addition to the rear door screen, there is also a side door screen which will allow you to keep the side door open for ventilation without admitting insects. The side door screen offers a bug (and no-see-ums) screen that comes equipped with a magnetic door catch that allows you to easily pass through the door without having to zip it open and closed.
Utilities Just like your house, your Roadtrek has fresh water, electricity, wastewater disposal, heating, and cooling systems. In the Roadtrek, these systems are self-contained and travel with you. Your vehicle should be reasonably level to allow normal operation of the system.
Water Pump To use the water in the tank, you need to turn on the water pump using the firefly Control Panel. (Picture 35.1) Wastewater Gray Tank Galley sink, bathroom sink and shower drain water drains into the gray water tank. The shower and sink have traps to prevent tank odors from entering the living space.
Gate Valves and Macerator Hose Location The wastewater holding tank gate valves and macerator system is located on the driver side of the van just forward of the rear tire behind a fold down access door (picture 35.3). To access the area, place a hand in each of the molded hand pulls and lift the door slightly to release it from the magnets and track and fold the door downward.
If this is set to any other, then “auto” the A/C fan will be on. Air Conditioning The air conditioner (AC) provides cooling for your Roadtrek using electric shore power or the under- hood generator. (Picture 36.3) The AC can be operated normally when you are plugged in to shore power.
Propane System The propane tank is located on the passenger side of the van, just forward of the rear tire (picture 36.4). The access door is hinged at the top and held closed magnetically. Grab the bottom of the door and swing it upwards to access the propane tank (picture 36.5). Ensure the propane system and their respective appliances are turned off before filling the propane tank.
Main Shutoff valve Propane Tank Propane tank main shutoff valve Propane Tank Filling To fill the tank, first turn off all propane appliances, then turn off the tank shutoff valve. We recommend that you find a qualified LPG technician to fill the tank. The following is an outline of the process to help you understand and not intended to be complete, nor to substitute for formal training or instruction.
Note the amount it takes to fill your tank. The seven-gallon tank in your Roadtrek will hold 5.9 gallons / 22 liters when completely empty and filled to the correct 80% full level.
The Roadtrek's propane tank is mounted outside the vehicle and will vent propane where it can dissipate; any tank inside the vehicle will vent into the passenger compartment, creating an explosive propane-air mixture inside the enclosed space, which also contains many potential sources of ignition.
Coach Batteries Your Roadtrek uses a combination of Lithium and AGM batteries. These are sealed batteries. Do not attempt to open them. There is no maintenance possible on these batteries. Battery Disconnect Switch The battery disconnect switch provides power to all 12-volt appliances, such as the water pump, the refrigerator, the Firefly control panel and so forth.
Standard 3000W Inverter The standard configuration includes a 3000-watt inverter. (Picture 38.2) This inverter provides 120- volt AC (household current) for the outlets in your Roadtrek; primarily the ones running the TV and Picture 38.1 the DVD player. It will run the microwave and the air conditioner.
Shore Power The shore power connection is through the shore power cord, stored in the driver's side large compartment. See Outside your Roadtrek for location. The switchover from shore power to inverter is automatic. To connect to external (shore) power, open the side compartment and remove the power cord. Plug the power cord into the campsite 30-amp power source.
12-volt electrical devices to work. Remember to turn off two switches -the inverter switch and the battery disconnect switch when your Roadtrek is not being used to avoid discharging the batteries. Picture 40.1 Picture 40.2...
Shore Power Shore power is the name for power supplied by a utility company that you plug into to provide power to your Roadtrek. Please visit the owner’s section of our website to read the HOWTO: Shore Power for a concise guide to plugging in and unplugging from shore power.
Flip the cover to the right and note the sticker under the cover with the identifying information on each breaker. (Picture 44.1) When storing the Roadtrek for the winter, turn off the battery disconnect switch, the inverter, and all circuit breakers in this panel.
Alarms and Warnings Propane and CO Monitor Your vehicle has been equipped with a combination propane leak and carbon monoxide detection device for your protection. It is located slightly above floor level next to the furnace and below the fridge. Be sure the detector is operating while using your vehicle.
Fire Extinguisher Your Roadtrek comes equipped with a dry chemical fire extinguisher suitable for all fires. (Picture 46.1) Before every trip, check to see that the needle on the dial is in the green range. If not, replace the fire extinguisher. DO NOT test your fire extinguisher by discharging it - total discharge time is 8 to 12 seconds, so it will become rapidly depleted if you test it this way.
Maintenance Tires See the automotive chassis manufacturer's owner's manual and documents for tire warranty information. Inflation pressure information is on the sticker inside the galley cabinet door. The current RAM ProMaster® manual recommends checking tire pressures regularly, at least every other week and before a long trip.
At Least Every Three Months • Flush water to the toilet. Use a hose or bucket to fill the tank through the toilet and dump. Flush gray water holding tank. Use a hose or bucket to fill the tank through the galley sink and dump. Flush and sanitize freshwater tank.

To prevent water from entering your vehicle, avoid spraying water directly into exterior vents or grills. Do not use a power washer to clean your Roadtrek because damage to the paint, removal of decals and water leaks will result. Hand washing or commercial car washes accommodating large vehicles are the best way to keep your Roadtrek clean and shiny.
