Living With Your Motor Home
WINDOWS
Windows in your motor home are either slider
or torque pane type. Open slider windows by
rotating the locking lever and sliding the win-
dow. Open and adjust torque windows by turn-
ing the knob or crank located at the bottom of
the window frame.
On your ventilating windows, water is trapped
by the frame. During a heavy downpour or
washing, water may be seen in the lower portion
of the frame. The sloping sill and weep slots
allow the water to drain to the outside. These
weep slots must be kept open.
If water collects in the bottom channel and
overflows, check the weep slots for debris and
obstructions and clean as necessary.

NOTE
I
Screens are not removable for cleaning. They may be
pushed out of their frames if the window must be
used for emergency exit. In this case, the screens will
be destroyed and will probably have to be replaced.
Emergency Exit Window(s)
Emergency exit windows are identified by the
red handles and EXIT label. Storm windows
should never be installed over emergency exit
windows.
Read and understand these instructions before
you need to use them.
The emergency exit win-
dow provides an escape route in case the motor
home must be evacuated under emergency con-
ditions. To operate the emergency exit window,
either:
• Pull the red handle and remove the screen, or;
• Lift the red latch to release the window.
Slide it completely through the slot so the
window swings free.
When parked, be sure the exit window is not
blocked by trees or other obstacles.

REMOTE MIRROR CONTROL
(If Equipped)
Your new motor home may be equipped with
the optional power mirror. The driver's control
panel also contains controls for the exterior rear
view mirror adjustment and heater, if equipped.
To adjust the mirrors, select either LEFT or
RIGHT mirror and press the appropriate arrow.
Activate the mirror heaters by pressing the
HEATER control.
In the event the power mirror option was not
selected and added, manual adjustment of the
mirrors is required to provide a view of the sides
and rear of the motor home.
SUN VISORS
Sun visors at the driver and passenger positions
swing down and are adjustable to provide relief
from glare and bright sun. Your motor home may
also be equipped with side shades mounted on the
side windows that can be adjusted to suit driving
conditions. Swivel tension may be adjusted with a
screwdriver at the tension adjusting screw.
