REAR VIEW VIDEO MONITOR
(If Equipped)
If your motor home is equipped with rear view
video monitor, the camera is located at the top
rear of the motor home. The rear view pictnre is
displayed on a screen in the driver's compartment.
The monitor screen may be overlaid with a dis-
tance scale reference which gives approximate
distance of objects to the rear of the motor home.
The rear view video monitor works in two modes:
Mode
1 - Standby (Indicator will be lit)
I. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Shift the transmission to [R]everse.
3. Monitor on.
Mode
2 - On (Indicator will be lit)
I. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Monitor on.
Using the rear view video monitor will take
practice. Always allow more space for maneu-
vering until you are comfortable with the sys-
tem. Check the side-mounted mirrors often
while driving and especially during lane
changes and when backing up.
CAUTION
The rear view video monitor system provides a gen·
eral view of the road and objects to the rear of the
motor home. Your perception of this view and the rela-
tionships of objects to the motor home and each other
will be different from that seen in a rear view mirror.
Light conditions and the adjustment of the screen
controls will also affect your perception. Always use
the side-mounted rear view mirrors with the video
monitor system.
The camera lens is exposed to road dirt and will
get dirty. When necessary, clean the camera lens
and monitor screen with a quality glass cleaner
and nonabrasive cloth or towel.
BODY UNDERCOATING
Certain chassis and underbody components of
your motor home have been coated with an under-
On The Road
coating material. This material is intended to assist
in protecting these components from
corrosion or other effects of weather and road
conditions. Please be aware that certain areas of
the motor home do not have undercoating applied,
in keeping with good engineering practice, and to
meet the requirements of chassis manufactnrers.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS
See the Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual in the Owner's Information
Package for chassis engine fuel recommenda-
tions. The standard generator is designed to run
on the same fuel as the chassis engine, or on
Propane. Consult the generator operating
instructions for special cautions about mainte-
nance with different types of fuels.
Modern fuel systems may build up vapor pres-
sure within the tank as the fuel warms during
use or hot weather. Under certain conditions,
sudden release of this pressure when removing
the fuel cap can cause fuel to spray from the fill
opening, creating a fire hazard.
A
WARNING
When removing the fuel fill cap, rotate it slowly only
far enough to allow the pressure to release. After any
"hissing" sound stops, remove the cap completely.
To protect the fuel system from excessive pres-
sure or vacuum, or from sudden release of pres-
sure, replace lost or damaged fuel fill caps with
caps of the same design which are available
from your Fleetwood motor home dealer.
Clean up fuel spills immediately. Fuel spilled on
the motor home could damage the exterior fin-
ish, and is a serious fire hazard.

Here are some refueling safety guidelines that
will help keep you and your family safe when
refueling your vehicle.
• Tum off your vehicle engine while refuel-
ing. Put your vehicle in park and/or set
the emergency brake. Disable or tum off
