Living With Your Motor Home
A.
WARNING
Loose furniture must be secured before travel. Failure
to do so may result in injury or death in the event of
an accident or emergency maneuver.
Interior Lighting
Both decorative and 'utility' style 12-volt light-
ing 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. For your convenience, some lights
are operated from wall switches. Clean the
lenses with soapy water.
A.
CAUTION
Some of the lighting fixtures may be equipped with
halogen bulbs. The bulbs and fixtures may get very
hot when they are on. Do not touch these lighting fix-
tures when they are on. Allow them to cool before
attempting to replace a bulb or to clean. Replace all
light bulbs with the same type and wattage as origi-
nally installed or as indicated on the fixture. Follow all
manufacturers instructions when changing bulbs.
Overhead Vents
Overhead vents may be located in the galley and
bathroom areas for fresh air circulation and
exhausting heat, odors and water vapor.
Turn the crank in the center of the overhead
vent to open and adjust. 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. Some vents may be con-
nected to a wall switch.
Close the overhead vents or lower them before
traveling to avoid damage from wind and low
overhead clearances.
The vent may be cleaned from the top of the
motor home. Use soapy water on the vent cover.
The screens may be vacuumed or lightly
blUshed to remove accumulation of leaves or
other debris.
06-6
Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with
a light, water resistant grease.
MONITOR PANEL
The monitor panel allows you to conveniently
check the approximate levels in the holding tanks,
Propane tank and to check battelY condition(s).
Electrical probes installed in the tanks measure
the levels at various points in the tanks.

NOTE
1
If the sensor probes mounted in the tanks get coated
with grease, the monitor panel may indicate falsely or
not at all. Avoid pouring grease, oils or similar sub-
stances down drains or the toilet. If this
is
unavoid-
able, the holding tank(s) should be washed out with
a
soapy water solution. See your dealer for additional
information.
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 113 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, 114
and 1/2 will be on.
Erroneous tank level indications can be
caused by:
a. Water with low mineral content. The level
is measured by a very low level electrical
signal traveling through the liquid. Some
water may not conduct the signal properly.
This condition may be infrequent, but can
exist. Check the panel reading when the
fresh water tank is filled.
b. Material trapped on the holding tank
probes may give a full reading when the
tank is actually empty.
