STORAGE

Exterior Compartments

Exterior storage compartments should accommo-
date most of your storage needs. All of the stor-
age compartments, except the Propane tank
compartment, can be locked. Fire prevention reg-
ulations require that the Propane tank compart-
ment be unlocked at all times.
Please note: Your motor home could be over-
loaded or out of balance if not properly loaded.
Refer to the Motor Home Loading section of the
On The Road chapter of this manual, and follow
the loading and weighing instructions in that
section. When storing equipment and supplies:
• Always keep tools and equipment stored in
areas where they will not shift while
traveling.
• Whenever possible, place heavy articles in
storage compartments which are low and in
the best location for weight distribution.
Pack articles carefully in the storage
compartments to minimize shifting. If nec-
essary, 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

Interior Storage

To lock cord,

The closets and cabinets have catches along one
edge of the door. Pull on the cabinet door handle
to open. Overhead doors have supports to hold
them open. These drawers have a catch along
the edge of the drawer. Pull the drawer handle
to open. It is recommended that cabinet drawers
should not be loaded to exceed more than 15
lbs.
Closets may be equipped with 12-volt lights that
turn ON when the closet door is opened. Be sure
the light goes OFF when the closet door is
closed—your battery will be discharged 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 inte-
rior storage areas as to exterior. Consult the
Motor Home Loading section in the On The
Road chapter.
SLIDE-OUT ROOMS
Your new motor home may be equipped with an
optional slide-out room. The slide-out room(s)
are designed to provide additional living space.
A detailed operating and maintenance guide is
included in your Owner's Information Package.
Read all instructions for these systems carefully
before operating the slide-outs.
In some installations it may be necessary to
slide the driver's seat to the full forward position
and place the seat back in the full upright posi-
tion prior to moving the slide-out room in or out
watertight in all conditions. Carry any arti-
cles which could be damaged by water
inside the motor home.
!
WARNING
Do not store flammable, volatile liquids or hazardous
chemicals inside the motor home or in outside stor-
age compartments. Toxic fumes from these liquids or
chemicals may enter the interior of the motor home.
