TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 4 MAJOR APPLIANCES & ACCESSORIESCB Radio System AntennaConnectionThe Allegro RED comes equipped with an antenna and coaxial-cableconnection (Figure 4-17) to enable the owner to install a Citizens Band (CB)radio of choice and operate it conveniently from the Allegro RED. The coaxialcableconnection for the radio is found beneath the dashboard on the driver’sside. Accordingly, with an owner-provided CB radio, that radio can be used tocommunicate with other travelers on the road.To use the one’s CB system of choice, simply follow the directions furnishedwith the CB radio. (Note: Channel 11 is considered an emergency channel andmonitoring this channel may give one information about road conditions,accidents, and related matters potentially affecting the travels of the motorhome operator).Figure 4-17. CB AntennaTo talk with someone, simply press the “push-to-talk” switch and speak. To listen to any reply, release the “push-totalk”switch and listen to the speaker. Remember that communications are “one-way,” not “twoway” simultaneously—one must talk, then allow some listening time for others to talk. Consequently, it’s better to make brief and allow othersto comment; rather than making prolonged speeches and possibly not having anyone answer.Observe the common courtesies (see the owner’s manual for more details) and acceptable speech. Several states havetheir Highway Patrols monitor the CB frequencies (check for exact channels for each state of interest) to learn abouthighway problems and emergencies. Be aware of these throughout one’s travels, in the event that they may be needed.Triple Vision Camera MonitorSystemFigure 4-15. Rear View Camera Monitor SystemThe rear-view monitoring system (Figure 4-19) is provided to aid thedriver in backing and parking the motor home. A camera mounted onthe rear of the vehicle feeds a televised view of the rear of the motorhome to the monitor located in the front near the driver. If the modeswitch is in the “manual” mode, the monitor will be “on” when theignition switch is turned “on.” If the mode switch is in the “automatic”mode, the monitor will display the picture from the rear-mountedcamera only when the transmission is in “reverse” gear. To use thissystem effectively, please consult the owner’s manual for this system;this manual is in the Owner’s Information Package.WarningDo not view TV or video programs while driving.4-11
