densely packed items, your motor home could be
overloaded. Refer to the section in this manual that
discusses capacity and weighing. 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 loca-
tion
for
better
weight
distribution.
See
"WEIGHING" section.
* Pack articles carefully in the 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.
WARNING: OUTSIDE STORAGE COMPART-
MENTS ARE NOT SEALED, VENTED ENCLO-
SURES, AND MAY BE ACCESSIBLE FROM IN-
SIDE THE MOTOR HOME. DO NOT STORE
FLAMMABLE, VOLATILE LIQUIDS, HAZARDOUS
CHEMICALS OR EQUIPMENT IN THESE AREAS.
LADDER INSTALLATION
1. Remove the bottom section of ladder from storage
location (rear storage compartment in "R" model,
overhead compartment in all others).
2. Remove top section of ladder from rear storage
compartment.
3. Place upper and lower sections of ladder together.
Secure by turning both large knurled knobs until
tight.
4. Raise ladder into position on the rear cap. Slide
guide arms into slots located at the top center of
the cap. Raise ladder high enough so lower sec-
tion can be inserted into holes in the bumper.
NOTE: For night installation, turn on rear utility lights
with switch near entry door. Turn lights off after use.
CAUTION: REMOVE AND STORE LADDER
BEFORE TRAVELING.
To remove ladder:
Grasp safety latch at bottom left leg of ladder. Depress
latch and raise ladder to clear bumper. Remove lad-
der from top slots, disassemble and store.
Interior Storage
Interior storage areas may be found in a number
of places in your motor home - overhead compart-
18
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.
Drawers rest in detent notches when they are
closed. To open drawers, lift up slightly, then pull open.
Closets may be equipped with 12-volt lights that
may be switched to 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.
