MAIN ENTRANCE

ENTRY ASSIST

HANDLE

When locking and unlocking the main door, there is a deadbolt and a latch bolt

which are keyed separately. Unlock both, pull the latch open, and pull out on the

door handle. The main entry door is a two piece door. You can use the screen door

separately from the main door by unlatching it. Slide the screen handle cover closed

to keep insects out of your motorhome. If the door needs adjustment, see a Da-

mon dealer for service.

Adjacent to each entry door is an entry assist handle for convenience and safety in

entering and exiting your unit.

The electric step is automatic. When the ignition switch is activated, the step will

automatically retract. When the door is opened, the step will extend auto-

matically even if the engine is running. If the switch for the step is in the OFF posi-

tion, the step will fail to operate automatically. If the step malfunctions, check the

battery voltage, fuses, switch alignment, and verify that the step switch is in the ON

position.

The lower compartment doors have a pocket latch. To open, simply insert your ﬁ n-

gers under the ﬂ ap and pull up. The door will continue to raise on the gas as-

sisted struts until fully open. Push down to close the compartment, and the latch will

close automatically. The doors under the slide-out and doors that are mounted be-

low gas ﬁ red appliances with exhaust may have a prop rod so the exhaust does not

damage the door. Most models have pass-through compartments for storing

longer items. Always keep the doors locked when traveling to prevent accidental

opening or theft.

Damon motor coaches have plywood reinforced roofs which are strong enough to

walk on. Use the two piece ladder to climb up on the roof for inspecting the roof-

ing seal and components. Remember to store and secure the lower section before

traveling. Take the ladder into consideration when backing up or parking your mo-

torhome.

Your motorhome may be equipped with a side or door awning. These awnings may

be electric with an operating switch on the key fob. The operating switch is in the

passengers area. To extend a manual awning you ﬁ rst have to loosen the round

knob and lever at the bottom of the side rails. Using the provided awning

rod, unlatch the lever at the top right side of the awning. Using the same awning rod,

pull on the loop in the center of the awning. To retract, have the rod in the loop and

release the lever at the top right side. Be careful, the awning is under spring pres-

sure and will start to retract immediately. The awning is a convenient way to extend

your campsite to include a patio within your location. When using the awning, always

set one side lower than the other to allow for water runoff. For complete instructions
