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.
CAUTION:
Make sure the entrance door is completely closed and locked when traveling. Locking the door helps prevent it from opening unintentionally and keeps intruders from your recreation vehicle.
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 deadbolt 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.
NOTE: 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.
Rear Backup Camera Prep
Your recreation vehicle has been pre-wired to allow for the installation of a (customer-supplied and customer installed) rear backup camera and a customer installed (or dealer-installed) camera ON/OFF switch so the backup camera can be used as an observation/security cam-era.
Depending on your RV model, a camera accessory power wire is pre-routed at the factory from the rear camera to the bedroom or the command center panel inside the entrance door. An ON/OFF switch would be installed (by the customer or the dealer) either in the bedroom or in or near the command centre panel. The camera accessory power wire would be attached to this switch. The camera monitor is then plugged into the camera charge center in the bedroom or near the command centre panel to be used for observation or security purposes.
Certain models may have a pre-installed power switch for the camera located in an exterior compartment. (e.g. battery storage or utility center bay) Your dealer can tell you if your model comes with a switch pre-installed. An instruction sheet is included with your RV detailing the installation of the backup camera, and the camera power switch. It also explains where to find the camera accessory power wire in your particular model RV. This instruction sheet is included in your Warranty Packet.
