SAFETY
For your safety while traveling with your Pleasure-Way
Motorhome, we have provided safety components throughout
the vehicle. In order for your vehicle to maintain the safest
possible conditions, these components must be tested and
maintained on a regular basis, according to the detailed
manufacturer’s operating instructions.
SMOKE DETECTOR
A smoke detector is located on the ceiling of your unit near the
front of the coach. Smoke detectors may give you a warning of
fire and smoke, but only if used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
This device should be tested after each time your vehicle has
been in storage, before each use, and at least once each week
during your travels. Do not block air circulation in the area
where the smoke detector is located. Ensure you connect the
battery inside the detector upon receiving your new unit. (9 volt
battery located inside the unit.)
Install a fully charged fresh battery at least once a year.
All Pleasure-Way Motorhomes in Canada are CSA (through
QAI) and CMVSS certified, and may exceed the approved
installation criteria.
All Pleasure-Way Motorhomes in the United States are FMVSS
certified and bear the R.V.I.A. seal of approval, and may exceed
the individual state requirements.
OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY
The Tire and Loading Information label, found on the driver
side door pillar, states the OCCC of your motorhome. This
figure states the maximum allowable weight of all occupants
(including the driver), plus the weight of all food, tools, full fresh
water tanks, and personal belongings. The tongue weight of
a towed trailer also counts as cargo. If you are traveling with
water in your holding tank, weight can be calculated by using
this ratio: 1 kg/L or 8.3 lb/gal.
The OCCC of your motorhome was calculated by adding
the weight of: the full LP fuel tank, the full vehicle fuel tank
and the dry weight of the motorhome (as shipped from the
factory) and subtracting that number from the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR).
NOTE:
All US units include a second OCCC label on the
inside of the passenger door.
