SECTION 4 –
APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
AIR CONDITIONER
(OPTIONAL)
For those units equipped with roof mounted
air conditioners, they operate on 120-volt AC
power. There are different sizes and variations
available depending on the unit. An air
conditioner takes a sizable amount of power to
run. Most RV electrical systems are designed
with 30 amps of available power with some
having 50 amp capability (see Section 6,
Electrical). It may be necessary to reduce other
loads when using air conditioning to reduce the
chance of overload and possibly tripping the
main breaker. (For thermostat operation on the
air conditioner, see "Thermostat" in this section).
In climates that experience high temperatures,
a second air conditioner may be necessary to
maintain a comfortable indoor temperature on
larger trailers. A second air conditioner requires
50 amp service. Please refer to the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with the unit for care and
operation.
AWNING, PATIO
If equipped, Winnebago Towables use a
variety of styles and sizes of awnings. They are
primarily designed as a sun/rain protection.
During any rain, it will be necessary to tilt one
end of the awning for proper water run off and/or
store the awning. Typically the end farthest away
from the entry door is tilted so the door will not
hit and damage the awning fabric when it is
opened and closed. Awnings that experience
damage from wind or rain are not considered
warrantable. Please refer to the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with the unit for care and
operation.
NOTE: It is best to close the awning when
unattended. Damage to the awning due
to wind, rain or any weather condition is
not covered under warranty by
Winnebago Towables or the awning
manufacturer.
4-2
Electric Patio
If equipped, this awning can be extended and
retracted electrically. This awning may or may
not have tilt functionality. Awnings without tilt
functionality will need to be stored during any
rain. For awnings equipped with tilt
functionality, during rain, it will be necessary to
tilt one end of the awning for proper water run off
and/or store the awning. Please refer to the
awning manufacturer's instructions supplied with
the unit for care and operation.
NOTE: An awning damaged from wind or rain is
not covered under warranty even if it was
tilted. The safest way is to put it away if
you are unsure.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
DETECTOR
For your safety, a carbon monoxide (CO)
detector is installed in every unit. Depending on
the model, it may be operated by battery (9-volt,
AA) or wired so that it will be powered by a RV
battery (if equipped) or 12-volt power from the
converter. Please refer to the manufacturer
instructions supplied with the unit for care and
operation and/or www.atwoodmobile.com,
www.qginc.com, or www.mtiindustries.com.
Common sources of CO are malfunctioning or
misuse of gas appliances, vehicle engines,
generators and many other fuel burning products.
Some indications of CO poisoning include
(but not limited to) the following:
Mild Exposure
•
Symptoms of the flu (minus a fever)
•
Slight Headache
•
Dizziness
•
Fatigue
Medium Exposure
•
Severe Throbbing Headache
•
