Folding Chairs
(If Equipped)
In some models, folding chairs are provided for
your convenience. Store these chairs in an
appropriate compartment when traveling to
avoid personal injury or damage.
!
WARNING
Do not sit on folding chairs while the vehicle is in
motion. Personal injury may result.

MONITOR PANEL

The monitor panel allows you to conveniently
check the approximate levels in the holding
tanks and Propane tank.
Electronic sensor strips are installed on the
tanks measure the levels at various points in the
tanks.
To check tank levels:
Press PROPANE, FRESH WATER, GRAY
or BLACK TANK switches.
The E or empty indicator light will always
be lit when the rocker or touch switches are
depressed. If the tank is full, all lights will
be on. Lights are sequential, and indicate
levels in approximately 1/3 or 1/4-tank
increments depending on monitor or panel
design. It the tank selected is approxi-
mately 1/2-full, for example, lights E, 1/4
and 1/2 will be on.
Erroneous tank level indications can be
caused by faulty sensor.

EFFECTS OF PERMANENT
OCCUPANCY
Condensation and How to
Control It
You need to understand how to properly manage
and control the humid conditions and condensa-
tion that you may experience.
RVs are much smaller than a house, and are
tightly built. This means that the interior air will
become saturated with moisture more quickly
than in a typical house. The routine activities of
a few people can put a lot of water into the air.
In cold weather, this moisture may become visi-
ble as condensation.
Condensation happens naturally. Just as mois-
ture collects on the outside of a glass of cold
water during humid weather, moisture can con-
dense on the inside surfaces of your RV during
cold weather when the humidity of the interior
air is high.
Water vapor will condense on the inside of the
windows and walls. In really cold weather, frost
or ice may appear. It may also condense out of
sight within the walls or the ceiling. If enough
water collects in the wall or ceiling materials, it
may cause water stains on the wall or ceiling sur-
face. You might think that your walls or ceiling
are leaking. You have a problem with condensa-
tion if you see these signs. You need to do some-
thing to reduce the moisture inside your RV.

NOTE
Your RV is not designed to be used as permanent
housing. Use of this product for long term or permanent
occupancy may lead to premature deterioration of
structure, interior finishes, fabrics, carpeting and
drapes. Damage or deterioration due to long term
occupancy may not be considered normal, and may
under the terms of the warranty constitute misuse,
abuse, or neglect, and may therefore reduce your war-
ranty protection.
