responsibility to make sure their truck has the capacities to carry the camper they have 
chosen to load on their truck.

 

CAMPER FEATURES 

Vents 

All exterior vents and louvers provide air circulation.  Ensure that these vents are not blocked, as 
equipment damage, or hazards to occupants may result. 

Lighting 

Your camper is equipped with exterior lights to conform to state and federal regulations.  It is 
important not to alter the lights or reflecting markers.  Replace any burned out bulbs or damaged 
parts as soon as possible. 

Bathroom 

The toilet is designed to flush with a minimal amount of water and still provide for proper disposal 
and odor control.  Toilet chemicals are available at most RV retail locations.  Review the booklet 
supplied (in info Pak) with your toilet for proper operation and maintenance. 

Dinette Bed 

All Campers come equipped with a dinette that will convert into an additional sleeping area.  Your 
dealer will provide instruction on the proper conversion of this area.  

Ladder and Roof Rack 

If your camper is equipped with a ladder, it may be used to access the roof.  The roof rack is 
designed to secure light bulky items.  Some models have a ladder located in front of the storage or 
generator access door.  In order to gain access to the door, the ladder’s lower section is hinged 
allowing it to swing up and be secured in place. 

WARNING: Folding hinged ladders should never be used unless the legs are secured in 
the lower ladder mounts. Failure to do this can result in injury! 

Cab-Over 

In case of emergency or fire, an emergency escape window or escape hatch is located in the cab 
over area of each unit

Please familiarize yourself with its operation in advance in case of emergency.

 

Storage 

Interior storage areas may be found in a number of places in your camper; overhead compartments, 
wall closets, P.J. boxes, under the dinette seats, and galley cabinets for your convenience.
