• Pack articles .carefully in th", storage compartments
to minimize shifting. If necessary, use straps to
prevent movement.
• Be sure liquid containers are capped and cannot
tip or spill. Secure all glass containers and dishes
before traveling.
• Exterior storage compartments may not be water-
tight in all climate conditions. Carry any articles
which could be damaged by water inside the motor
home.

MENTS ARE NOT SEALED, VENTED ENCLO-
SURES, AND MAY BE ACCESSIBLE FROM IN-
SIDE THE MOTOR HOME. DO NOT STORE

Interior Storage
Interior storage areas may be found in a number
of places in your motor home - overhead compart-
ments, wall closets, under the dinette, under the bed,
lavy and galley cabinets. Most of the closets and
cabinets have hidden latches along one edge of the
door. Press the latch button to open the door.
Overhead doors may have friction supports to hold
them open.
To open drawers, lift up slightly, then pull open.
.. Closets may be equipped with 12-volt lights that
turn ON when the closet door is opened. Be sure the
light goes OFF when you close the closet door -
your battery could be discharged rapidly if it stays
ON. If the light stays on when the door is closed,
. the door switch requires adjustment.
The same loading considerations apply to interior
storage areas as to exterior. Even though your motor
home has a lot of storage space, use good sense
when loading. Consult the section On capacity and
weighing.
INTERIOR AND FURNISHINGS
The materials used inside your motor home have
been selected for durability and comfort. With
reasonable care, these materials will stand up under
years cif recreational living. The MAINTENANCE SEC-
TION in this manual outlines care requirements for
the various upholstery fabrics, floor, cabinet, and wall
finishes.

Folding Doors
The folding door(s) allow you to separate areas in
the motor home for privacy or heating/cooling
management. The door glides on nylon rollers and
does not require lubrication. It is held closed by a
magnetic catch. When the door is open while travel-
ing, be sure to reattach the holdback strap to keep
the folding door from sliding back and forth.
Interior Lighting
Both decorative and "utility" style 12-volt lighting
fixtures may be used in your motor home.
Utility style fixtures may be either single or dual.
A slide switch selects either single or dual brightness.
Clean the lenses in soapy water.
Overhead Vents
Overhead vents located in the galley and bathroom
areas help circulate fresh air through the motor home,
and exhaust galley and bathroom odors and vapors
from cooking and bathing.
Turn th.e crank in the center of the vent to open
and adjust it. Some vents may also be equipped with
a 12-volt fan. A switch controls fan operation. Be sure
to turn the fan OFF before closing the vent.
If you travel in heavily wooded areas or other places
where overhead clearance is restricted, close the
vents or lower them so they don't strike overhead
obstructions.
The vents may be cleaned from the top of the motor
home. Use soapy water on the vent cover. The screens
may be vacuumed or lightly brushed to remove ac-
cumulations of leaves or other debris.
Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with a
light, water resistant grease.
