Main Entrance; Assist Handle; Electric Entry Step; Compartment Doors - Damon Astoria Pacific Edition Owner's Manual

When locking and unlocking the main door, there is a dead bolt and a latch bolt which
are keyed separately. Unlock both, pull the latch open, and pull out on the door handle.
The main entry door is a two piece door. You can use the screen door separately from
the main door by unlatching it. Slide the screen handle cover closed to keep insects out
of your motorhome. If the door needs adjustment, see a Damon dealer for service.
Adjacent to each entry door is an entry assist handle for convenience and safety in
entering and exiting your unit.
The electric step is automatic. When the ignition switch is activated, the step will
automatically retract. When the door is opened, the step will extend automatically even
if the engine is running. If the switch for the step is in the OFF position, the step will fail to
operate automatically. If the step malfunctions, check the battery voltage, fuses, switch
alignment, and verify that the step switch is in the ON position.
The lower compartment doors have a pocket latch. To open, simply insert your fingers
under the flap and pull up. The door will continue to rise on the gas assisted struts until
fully open. Push down to close the compartment, and the latch will close automatically.
The doors under the slide-out and doors that are mounted below gas fired appliances
with exhaust may have a prop rod so the exhaust does not damage the door. Most
models have pass-through compartments for storing longer items. Always keep the
doors locked when traveling to prevent accidental opening or theft.
Damon motor coaches have plywood reinforced roofs which are strong enough to walk
on. Use the two piece ladder to climb up on the roof for inspecting the roofing seal and
components. Remember to store and secure the lower section before traveling. Take the
ladder into consideration when backing up or parking your motorhome.
Your motorhome is equipped with a side or door awning. These awnings may be electric
with an operating switch on the key fob. The operating switch is in the passengers area.
To extend a manual awning you first have to loosen the round knob and lever at the
bottom of the side rails. Using the provided awning rod, unlatch the lever at the top right
side of the awning. Using the same awning rod, pull on the loop in the center of the
awning. To retract, have the rod in the loop and release the lever at the top right side.
Be careful, the awning is under spring pressure and will start to retract immediately.
The awning is a convenient way to extend your campsite to include a patio within your
location. When using the awning, always set one side lower than the other to allow for
water runoff. For complete instructions on the use of your awning, please refer to the
instructional guide in your Owner's Information Kit. When used properly, your awning
provides a comfortable atmosphere during your camping excursions.
