General Information

In time you will develop a knack

for spotting wonderful little roadside

locations by turning off the main

highway and exploring. There are

many modern recreational vehicle

parks (including state, county, and

federal parks) with good facilities

where you can obtain hook-ups for

electrical, water, and sewage connec-

tions. Directories are published which

describe these parks and the avail-

ability of services and hook-ups. On

overnight or weekend trips chances are you will not fill up the sewage holding tank,

deplete the water or LP gas supply, or run down the batteries which supply the living area

12 volt DC current. On longer trips when you have stayed where sewer connections and

utility hook-ups were not available it will be necessary for you to stop occasionally to

empty the holding tanks, and to replenish your water and LP gas supply. Many gas sta-

tions have installed sanitary dumping stations. Publications are available which list

these dumping stations. When you stop for the night your Holiday Rambler motor home

is built to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level and where the ground is

firm. Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible. Your facilities are with you, you are

self-contained.

These safety alert symbols mean CAUTION or WARNING - "Personal Safety

Instructions". Read and understand instructions where these symbols are

displayed in this manual. Failure to comply with specific instruction may

result in personal injury or death. Many instructions are required by the

National Safety Associations.
