AIR HOSE CONNECTOR

-If Equipped
For convenience, your coach may be equipped
with a Quick-Connect Air Coupler, which you
can connect an air hose for inflating tires or
sports and camping equipment, if needed.
NOTE: Air hose and inflation or blowing
attachments are not supplied and must be
obtained separately.
The Quick-Connect Air Coupler is located
behind the hood panel at the front end of the
vehicle. Instructions for connection and
disconnection are shown on the label at the
coupler.

-Typical installation shown
The air is supplied by the chassis air brake/
suspension system air tank. When the air pressure
is less than what you need to inflate an item, you
must start the coach engine to run the system air
compressor to refill the tank.

EFFECTS OF PROLONGED
OCCUPANCY
Your motorhome was designed primarily for
recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you
expect to occupy your coach for an extended
period, be prepared to deal with condensation and
humid conditions that may be encountered.

Humidity and Condensation

Moisture condensing on the inside of
windows is a visible indication that there is too
much humidity inside the coach. Excessive
moisture can cause water stains or mildew, which
can damage interior items such as upholstery and
cabinets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive
moisture and condensation in your coach, you
should take immediate action to minimize their
effects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture
inside the motorhome by taking the following
steps:
Ventilate with outside air
Partially open one or more windows and a
roof vent to circulate outside air through the
coach. In cold weather, this ventilation may
increase use of the furnace, but it will greatly
reduce the condensation inside the coach.
Minimize moisture released inside the
coach
Run the range hood fan while cooking and
open a bath vent while bathing or showering to
carry water vapor out of the coach. Avoid making
steam from boiling water excessively or letting
hot water run. Avoid bringing extra moisture into
the coach by way of soaked clothing or snow on
shoes. Do not hang-dry wet overcoats or clothing
inside the coach.
