Equipment

This section covers the basic operation and
care of various equipment found in your
Livin' Lite RV. More detailed information as
well as CAUTION or WARNING instructions
about specific equipment may be found
in each product manufacturer's manual.
Optional equipment will also be discussed in
this section which do not apply to all vehicles.
Entry Step
The entry step folds under the vehicle when
traveling. To extend step, pull out from
underneath the vehicle. To store steps, push
assembly underneath the vehicle.
Lubricating the Mechanism: Lubricate the
mechanism every 30 to 60 days. Carefully
clean the area around the pivot points
(the rivets involved in the motion of the
mechanism). After cleaning, lubricate the
pivot points between the pelt (to pinpoint this
area locate the washer between the parts).
An automotive grade, non-staining lubricant
is recommended.
Covering Nicks & Scratches: Seal a nick or
scratch with automotive grade primer to
prevent rust. Once the nick or scratch has
been sealed, cover the damaged area with an
automotive grade or high-gloss paint.
I
CAUTION
To prevent the possibility of slipping on
the entry step avoid excess lubricant
on the surface of the entry step itself.
Carefully clean the entire entry step after
lubricating the mechanism.
E
Silicone lubricants and WD-40 are not
recommended as they tend to evaporate
and dry the matted surfaces which leaves
them vulnerable to the elements.
NOTE
I
If the vehicle is transported with the
step in the extended position there is
possibility of causing major damage to
both the step and the vehicle.
Entry Door
The door uses two separate locks for
personal safety and security. The door
handle incorporates a primary and secondary
latching system. One locking system is the
door handle and the other is a dead bolt.
However, keeping the entry door in good
operating condition requires some routine
maintenance. The following adjustments can
help maintain the entry door performance.
The position of the striker plate may change
over the course of time and settlement of the
recreational vehicle. The setting may need to be
adjusted to insure that the door operates smoothly
and efficiently. To adjust the striker plate, loosen the
two screws holding the plate to the jamb system.
Move the plate in or out as needed to obtain a
proper seal. Retighten the screws.
I
If screws are loose on the out-swing
doors, the backer plate will release and
drop down into the door jamb. Should this
happen, replace the short screws with a
screw that is long enough to go through
the jamb system and into the frame work
of the sidewall.
The locking cylinder requires slight lubrication
on an annual basis, or as needed. Use
powdered graphite, not a petroleum product
which will gum the cylinder and inhibit smooth
operation. The upper lock is the dead bolt,
the lower lock is the privacy lock. Applying
a light coating of white lithium grease to
the face of the lock bolt helps in retaining a
smooth close. The hinges for the door require
slight lubrication annually, or as needed, with
a high-quality, dry spray lubricant.
