Appliances - Livin Lite Truck Camper Owner's Manual

Appliances

Refer to the individual manufacturer's owner's
manual for primary and additional operating and
safety instructions on the following equipment.
Gas/Electric Refrigerator
Many vehicles are equipped with a 3-way
refrigerator. Unlike your home refrigerator,
the unit on your RV can be operated on LP gas
and 120-volt AC electricity. Read the owner's
manual provided in your owner's packet
before putting the refrigerator into operation.
The refrigerator will not operate correctly
if the vehicle is not level while parked. The
refrigerator coolant will not circulate properly
if the unit is not level.
For best results, make sure the outside
sidewall vent and roof vent are always clear
of debris. Without proper circulation of the
rear coils the unit will not keep food cold.
Upon initial operation, or after being stored,
the refrigerator it could take up to 24 hours
before the unit is cool enough for use.
E
It is normal for the rear coil area of your
refrigerator to be hot. Be careful when
checking this area to make sure proper airflow
though the rear vent is not obstructed.
Furnace
Your RV may be equipped with a forced-air
furnace similar to the type found in most
homes with the exception that it is fueled
by LP gas. Each unit is equipped with a
wall mounted thermostat that controls the
temperature. An operating manual for the
furnace is included in your owner's packet.
The furnace is designed to have un-obstructed
airflow from all its vents, including interior and
exterior. If any vent is blocked the furnace
may shut itself off.
NOTE
The furnace igniter is powered by your 12-volt
battery system. If the system battery is low, the
furnace blower will come on, however the furnace
will not ignite. Make sure you have sufficient
battery power before operating the furnace.
Your furnace is designed to sustain a desired
temperature in the vehicle at most times.
Due to varying weather conditions, the
furnace may not be able to keep up with sub-
freezing temperatures. The amount of vehicle
occupants and the position the vehicle is
parked may help or hinder the furnace's ability
to keep up with freeze conditions. Consult the
furnace owner's manual for more information.
I
Do not supplement the furnace with
any portable fuel-burning appliance for
heating the interior of the vehicle. These
appliances are not safe. Asphyxiation/
carbon monoxide poisoning is possible in
any well-sealed space and can result in
serious personal injury or loss of life.
Air Conditioner
Many vehicles are equipped with a roof air
conditioning system that works with electrical
power from either a shore line or a portable
generator.
Air conditioners are capable of cooling air a
maximum of 18 to 22 degrees in a 50% humidity
environment. As the humidity goes up, the cooling
difference goes down. If the temperature inside
your coach is 100 degrees when you turn on the
air conditioner, it will only put out 80 degrees.
Eventually the air inside the coach will cool, and
as it cools the air put out by the air conditioner
will cool also. However, when starting out at 100
degrees, this cooling could take several hours
before it reaches your desired temperature.
Therefore, if you know the weather will be hot,
turn your air conditioner on early.
