Vehicle Operation
Your motor home will travel safely and comfortably at highway speed limits. However, it will take longer than a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Allow more time to go around the vehicle you are passing. Avoid situations that might require sudden momentum changes as the length of the motor home affects your ability to quickly cut back into traffic. Swerves and sharp turns, especially at high speeds, could result in loss of control of the motor home.The motor home has a longer turning radius. When turning, check the road clearance and be aware of others, especially if towing a vehicle behind your motor home.Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect the performance and handling of your vehicle. Do not operate the cruise control on icy or extremely wet roads, gravel roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic, or in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be maintained. Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.
NOTE: CALIFORNIA TIRE CHAIN NOTICE: YOUR MOTOR HOME MAY NOT BE OPERATED WITH TIRE CHAINS
Braking and Stopping
Even though your motor home is equipped with brakes designed for its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) we suggest you practice stopping away from traffic until you become accustomed to your motor home’s stopping distance. Your motor home is equipped with a third brake light that activates when the brakes are engaged. When descending a long hill, shift the transmission into a lower gear and engage the auxiliary engine braking. If your motor home is equipped with an auxiliary engine brake, engagement is activated by a switch on the driver’s console. See the chassis owner’s manual for additional information. The transmission and engine will help in controlling downhill speed and can lengthen brake life. The distance required to stop the motor home is greater than an automobiles. Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check the motor home’s brake operation in a safe area to be sure they have not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if a difference in braking efficiency is noticeable.
Parking Brake
The parking brake should be engaged when the motor home is parked. Never drive your motor home with the parking brake engaged as this will reduce braking effectiveness and cause excessive driveline wear. Refer to your Chassis guide for more information on the parking brake.
Contact your dealer for assistance in determining whether a separate braking system is recommended for your towing and traveling safety. Failure to follow these instructions will create a safety hazard and may result in an accident.
Maintenance
Keep the hitch clean along with your general frame maintenance.
- At the beginning of the season, and monthly or thereafter, clean the inside of the receiver tube with a wire brush and spray with a silicone spray.
- Always remove the utility mount from the receiver when it is not in use. This will help prevent the utility mount from rusting to the tube.
- Periodically check the bolts for tightness. They need to be torqued to the proper setting (refer to your Chassis Guide).
- Refer to the chassis manual for detail on hitch specifications and towing guidelines.
Power Entrance Step
The electric door step opens automatically when the screen door is opened. Constant 12-volt power to the electric step is supplied through a circuit breaker.
LOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR EXITING YOUR MOTOR HOME!
- When opening the door from the outside, make sure you are not obstructing the path of the entrance step. Step deployment takes approximately two seconds. Keep hands and fingers clear while extending or retracting.
- Look before you exit. Make sure the steps are fully deployed before exiting the motor home. Stepping on a partially extended step can cause damage to the step frame.
Entrance Door
Always hold onto the entrance door when opening or closing it. Damage caused because you failed to do so is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
The entrance screen door may be equipped with a slide panel that allows access to the entrance door handle and locks. The entrance door may also be equipped with both a regular door lock and a dead bolt lock.
Keys
Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle. Most keys have an individual key number stamped on the plate. Record these key numbers and keep the information in a safe place. You can order a key blank from your dealer to have duplicate keys made. If you lose the keys, contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance.
Maintenance
Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual lubrication using a light coat of silicone spray. Conditions such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may increase the maintenance needs.
Driver and Passenger Seat
- Do not adjust the seat while driving. After adjusting the seat, make sure that it is locked in position. To ensure that the seat is locked securely, try to move the seat forward or backward without using the adjusting lever or button. Do not put packages, pets or other objects between the driver’s and front passenger co-captain’s seat.
- Reclining seats: to minimize the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden stop, always keep both the driver’s captain and passenger co-captain seat backs in a nearly upright position while the motor home is moving. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seat back is reclined. Reclining the seats while the motor home is moving may result in serious injury.
- Power seats: keep hands and feet clear of the power seat while in operating the power feature.
Power Seat
Use the controls to slide the power seat to the desired position. Depending on your model, seat controls may be located on the seat or on the door. Release the control, and the seat will lock at that position. Features may include a 3-point adjustable seat belt, lumbar support, swivel, slide and reclining capabilities. (Not all of these features will be available in all motor home models).
To rotate the driver/passenger seat
Depending on your model, you may have the ability to rotate the driver/passenger seats towards the rear of the motor home. To face the driver or front passenger seat toward the rear of the vehicle, pull the seat swivel release lever up and rotate the seat. To return the seat to the original position, rotate seat back to the driving position until you hear a click and the seat locks into position.
Always use seat belts.
In an accident, injury to the driver and passengers may be reduced if seat belts are properly used. If your motor home is equipped with a booth dinette, hide-a-bed sofa, or easy bed sofa they will have two-point lap-seat belts installed. Seat belts should be used in all seating positions.
Maintenance and inspection of seat belts
The webbing used in seat belts may be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent solution. Allow the belts to dry in the shade and do not allow them to retract until fully dry.Regularly check the seat belt buckles and release mechanisms for positive action and check automatic locking retractors for positive engagement.If the seat belt webbing shows obvious cuts, protruding broken fibers or severe fading which indicates weakening by exposure to sunlight, the entire seat belt assembly should be replaced. Do not try to bleach or re-dye the belts. The resulting color may rub off and the webbing strength could be affected.
Booth Dinette (if equipped)
If your child requires a child safety restraint system (seat), it can be installed in the forward or rear facing booth dinette according to the instructions of the safety seat manufacturer. The seat must be secured with the dinette seat tether strap.
Installing the Child Safety Seat
NOTE: Be sure to read, understand and apply all child seat information provided by the seat manufacturer. Make sure the tether strap is securely and correctly attached to the child safety seat.
Locate the child seat tether anchors (brackets). The anchors will be marked with a child seat symbol. Attach the snap on the strap of the child restraint seat to the corresponding anchor. Adjust the strap so the seat is securely in place. The seat must have both lower straps securely in place. Repeat the process on the upper straps of the child seat.
