NOTE: INVERTER Your Owner’s Manual for RV612ULHW contains most of the essential information you need to enjoy the electrical conveniences of home while at RV parks or dry camping. However, we wish to highlight for you exactly how the charging portion of the inverter/charger works, in order to help avoid possible confusion: Supplying shore power or (optional) generator power enables RV612ULHW to charge the auxiliary battery (ies).
Your vehicle’s electrical system should not be subjected to changes and / or additions to circuitry, appliances, etc. without consulting your dealer or Home & Park for proper installation procedures. Failure to do this could result in serious safety issues or component damage. Changes to the electrical system run the risk of voiding the warranty.
WARNING: If your vehicle is equipped with an optional flat screen TV, the TV must be off and in the stored position during travel. MONITOR PANEL: A monitor panel is located on the shelf above the passenger lounge seat, (see Picture E-P1). The monitor panel is used to provide the approximate fluid levels in the fresh, grey and black (holding) water tanks, the propane tank, and the charge level of the auxiliary battery.
This switching system utilizes the switch on the light itself and the dash mounted headlight switch, located to the left of the steering wheel. Refer to the Chevrolet’s Owner’s Manual for complete operation instructions. RANGE HOOD EXHAUST FAN: The range hood exhaust fan should be on while the propane stove is in operation.
PROPANE & SAFETY SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide trouble and worry free operation of your propane fueled appliances. Propane fuel is stored in a liquid state under extremely high pressure. As fuel is used, propane passes from the top of the tank through the regulator into the gas lines and eventually to the appliances.
PROPANE TANK: To open and close the propane tank use the manual tank shutoff valve located on the tank, accessible from behind the rear bumper. It is recommended to close the propane tank shutoff valve when the vehicle is not in daily use. Further, it is recommended to close the shutoff valve when the vehicle is in travel.
PROPANE LEAK DETECTOR: Your vehicle has been equipped with a propane leak detection device for your protection, (see Picture F-P1). See “Floor Plan & Appliance Location” for location of the propane leak detector location. Be sure the detector is operating while using your vehicle. Do not block air circulation in the area where the propane leak detector is located.
190 models are equipped with dual fresh water tanks. One tank is located in the vehicles interior, the other tank is located on the vehicles exterior. 170 models are equipped with an exterior fresh water tank only. The purpose of the dual tank system is to provide a separate fresh water system that can be used in sub moderate freezing conditions.
The fresh water tanks can also be filled through the city water inlet located behind the large lockable driver side middle access door, for location, see the Daily Living section. The use of the city fill is not possible when in the winter operation mode.
To disconnect the city water connection: 1. Turn off the external water source. 2. Open the sink faucet to relieve the pressure in the system, (failure to do so may result in an unexpected shower). 3. Ensure that the city water tank fill valve is closed, (see Picture G-P5). 4.
Grey tank valve Picture G-P8: Proper driving location of support strap. Waste Water Tank Dumping: To dump the exterior black waste water tank: 1. Remove support strap retainer pin and lower sewage hose. 2. Connect the dump fitting, (stored in the storage compartment behind the large access door), to the end of the assembly.
Waste Water Tank Flushing: To flush the waste water tanks: 1. Ensure that both tanks are empty. 2. Fill the black waste water tank by inserting a hose into the toilet, (be sure to step on the flush pedal, so the flapper door stays open to prevent toilet overflow) and the grey waste water tank using the sink.
POTABLE WATER SYSTEM SANITIZING: NOTE: Water system must be in summer operation mode, (190 models). Your potable water system should be sanitized if it is new, has not been used for a period of time, or may have become contaminated. To sanitize your system: 1.
WINTER MODE VALVE POSITIONS (190 Models only): 1. Outside shower faucet, (Hot and cold cutoff valves mini valves), - Closed, (see Picture G-P20). 2. Tank selector valve must be closed, (interior tank position see G-P13, exterior tank position see Picture G-P12). SUMMER MODE VALVE POSITIONS: 1.

Picture G-P19: Hot water cutoff valve in open position. To drain the exterior fresh water tank you must open exterior drain valve at the low point drain located below the drivers side front door running board, (for 190 models see Picture G-P21, for 170 model see Picture G-P23). Ensure that the exterior shower faucet valves are open and that the city water inlet valve has been emptied of water.
EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE: To maintain the original appearance and finish, your vehicle’s exterior body and roof must be waxed at least annually. If deterioration, such as tarnishing or chalking, should occur, apply a mild rubbing compound and wax to restore the original appearance. EXTERIOR WASHING: To prevent water from entering your vehicle, avoid spraying water directly into exterior vents or grills.
SPRING START UP: After storage, reactivate your vehicle for use by reversing all the procedures that you performed to prepare it for winter storage. In addition, propane system’s connections and fittings should be checked for possible leaks and all other systems and appliances should be operated to ensure satisfactory performance. TIRES: See the automotive chassis manufacturer’s owner’s manual and documents for tire warranty and recommended inflation pressures.
Use of a general automotive grease is recommended. It is recommended that this be done every 3 months when you are checking the acid levels. The above maintenance schedule is a recommendation only. Please refer to your Chevrolet Manual for details on the Chevrolet required maintenance schedule.
OWNER MAINTENANCE ALUMINUM WHEEL MAINTENANCE: Never clean your wheels when they are hot! either from free standing in the sun, or from normal road use. Always clean wheels when they are cool to the touch of your hand. If you spray any type of cleaning agent, corrosive or not, they will stain a polished and chrome wheel and even some clear coated wheels.
