The above is a basic procedure designed to be perform-
ed by the Motor Home Owner. In areas of extreme cold
extra freeze protection can be obtained by scheduling a
motor home dealer to perform this winterization for
you. He has specialized equipment that will enable him
to blow the water drain lines clear.
DO'S AND DON'TS - WASTE TANKS
DO
Keep your holding tank clean using any
cleaner approved for recreational vehicle
sanitation systems.
DO
add a special deodorizer or chemical additive
approved for recreational vehicle system to
sanitize and improve the tank action.
DO
guard against freeze-up.
DO
keep your tank knife valve closed, permitting
the tank to get as full as convenient before
emptying.
DO
keep both the tank knife valve(s) and the
drain cap(s) tightly in place when traveling to
permit use of the system when on the road.
DO
use any soft (single-ply) toilet tissue.
DO
open the bath vent to keep bathroom fresh.
DON'T
put facial tissues, paper, permanent (auto-
motive)
anti-freeze,
sanitary
napkins, or
household toilet cleaners in your holding
tank.
DON'T
put anything solid in your holding tank which
can scratch or damage the plastic.
ELECTRICAL
Your motor home has two electrical systems. One pro-
vides 115-volt power to operate all 115-volt living area
lights and appliances. This system is used when power is
available from a ground power source or from an on-
board generator power plant, if one is installed. The
second system uses on-board batteries to provide power
for all 12-volt lighting, appliances and accessories as well
as normal vehicle needs. (Refer to Figure 7).
115-VOL T SYSTEM
A 25-foot, heavy duty power supply cord is provided in
a special storage compartment (refer to Figure 8). This
cord is pulled out and connected to any adequate 115-
volt power source to activate all power circuits. The
connector is rated for 30-amp capacity. Use this power
plug only with the proper mating connector and only
with facilities having a 30 amp capacity. Such facilities
are available in most parks and campsites.
CAUTION:
USING YOUR POWER CORD WITH POWER SUP-
PLIES WHICH HAVE LESS THAN 30 AMPS CAP-
ACITY, OR USING THE PLUG WITH RECEPTACLES
FOR WHICH IT WAS NOT DESINGED, MAY DAM-
AGE YOUR APPLIANCES AND MAY MAKE THE
MOTOR HOME WARRANTY INAPPLICABLE.
12-VOL T SYSTEM
When the power supply cord is not connected to a 115-
volt ground source (or to the generator power plant re-
ceptacle) power for lights and most appliances is auto-
matically provided from your auxiliary battery.
12-VOL T FUSES
The fuses for the 12-volt electrical system in the living
area (except for the 12-volt chassis circuit fuses) are
located in the electrical center inside the motor home.
Fuses for the motor home chassis circuit are located on
a panel under the dash behind the steering column. See
your Chassis Operator's Manual for further information.
Optional equipment may have additional fuses installed;
refer to the equipment instructions for information.
NOTE:
If fuse replacement is necessary, replace with
fuses of the same amperage.

AUXILIARY 12-VOLT BATTERY
The motor home is equipped with an auxiliary 12-volt
battery. It is installed in he location shown in Figure 2.
The auxiliary battery is the source for normal living area
power needs. If the main vehicle battery becomes dis-
