Living With Your Motor Home<br />
Interior Lighting<br />
Both decorative and ‘utility’ style 12-volt lighting<br />
fixtures may be used in your motor home.<br />
Utility style fixtures may be either single or<br />
dual . A slide switch selects either single or dual<br />
brightness . For your convenience, some lights<br />
are operated from wall switches . Clean the<br />
lenses with soapy water .<br />
Overhead Vents<br />
Overhead vents may be located in the galley<br />
and bathroom areas for fresh air circulation and<br />
exhausting heat, odors and water vapor .<br />
Turn the crank in the center of the overhead<br />
vent to open and adjust . Some vents may also<br />
be equipped with a 12-volt fan . A switch controls<br />
fan operation . Be sure to turn the fan OFF<br />
before closing the vent . Some vents may be<br />
connected to a wall switch .<br />
Close the overhead vents or lower them before<br />
traveling to avoid damage from wind and low<br />
overhead clearances .<br />
The vent may be cleaned from the top of the<br />
motor home . Use soapy water on the vent<br />
cover . The screens may be vacuumed or lightly<br />
brushed to remove accumulation of leaves or<br />
other debris .<br />
When operating the on-board generator for electrical<br />
power and using the overhead kitchen vent<br />
fan, regardless of the outside temperature open a<br />
window slightly . This will reduce the chances of<br />
drawing harmful CO into the passenger’s compartment<br />

CAUTION<br />
Some of the lighting fixtures may be equipped with<br />
halogen bulbs. The bulbs and fixtures may get very<br />
hot when they are on. Do not touch these lighting<br />
fixtures when they are on. Allow them to cool before<br />
attempting to replace a bulb or to clean. Replace all<br />
light bulbs with the same type and wattage as originally<br />
installed or as indicated on the fixture. Follow<br />
all manufacturers instructions when changing bulbs.<br />
Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with<br />
a light, water resistant grease .<br />
MONITOR PANEL<br />
The monitor panel allows you to conveniently<br />
check the approximate levels in the holding tanks,<br />
Propane tank and to check battery condition (s) .<br />
Electrical probes installed in the tanks measure<br />
the levels at various points in the tanks .<br />

NOTE<br />
If the sensor probes mounted in the tanks get coated<br />
with grease, the monitor panel may indicate falsely or<br />
not at all. Avoid pouring grease, oils or similar substances<br />
down drains or the toilet. If this is unavoidable,<br />
the holding tank(s) should be washed out with<br />
a soapy water solution. See your dealer for additional<br />
information.<br />
To check tank levels:<br />
Press PROPANE, FRESH WATER,<br />
GRAY or BLACK TANK switches .<br />
The E or empty indicator light will always<br />
be lit when the rocker or touch switches are<br />
depressed . If the tank is full, all lights will<br />
be on . Lights are sequential, and indicate<br />
levels in approximately 1/3 or 1/4-tank<br />
increments depending on monitor or panel<br />
design . It the tank selected is approximately<br />
1/2-full, for example, lights E, 1/4<br />
and 1/2 will be on .<br />
Erroneous tank level indications can be<br />
caused by:<br />
a . Water with low mineral content . The level<br />
is measured by a very low level electrical<br />
signal traveling through the liquid . Some<br />
water may not conduct the signal properly .<br />
This condition may be infrequent, but can<br />
exist . Check the panel reading when the<br />
fresh water tank is filled.<br />
b . Material trapped on the holding tank<br />
probes may give a full reading when the<br />
tank is actually empty .
