such as adding oil, changing ﬁ lters, or replacing spark plugs, could be accomplished

at an auto service center, but must be done in accordance with the service instruc-

tions speciﬁ ed by the generator manufacturer. Refer to the Generator Owner’s

Manual for further information.

The LP gas system should be checked regularly for leaks and road damage. Fol-

low the lines, looking for kinks or ﬂ attened spots that may have occurred during

travel or maintenance on the recreational vehicle. A qualiﬁ ed LP gas service

technician using proper equipment should check the entire system annually or

whenever you suspect a problem.

The line pressure for LP gas appliances should be checked at least every six

months. Most LP gas suppliers have this equipment to do the test for you.

All service procedures should be performed only by a certiﬁ ed LP

gas service technician.

Some components of the recreational vehicle are constructed of strong, light-

weight ABS plastic. Sometimes, it may be necessary to remove stains, or generally

clean. A mild solution of soap and water will clean many stains, and should be used

initially. Tougher stains may require stronger cleaners, but be sure to read the label

to determine if the product is recommended for use on plastics. Avoid abrasive

cleansers (even the liquid and cream types), alcohol based products, and solvents

such as acetone and MEK. Gasoline and kerosene should not be used because of

the damaging effect they have on the plastic surface, as well as the ﬁ re hazard

they present. Often the damage caused by solvents, alcohol, and oil based prod-

ucts may not be immediately noticeable, but the plastic is made weaker, and thus

more prone to stress cracking.

The front suspension and steering system of this vehicle was factory aligned using

highly accurate equipment prior to delivery to the dealership. However, we rec-

ommend that alignment be checked and if necessary, adjusted after you have fully

loaded the motorhome according to your personal needs. Thereafter, the align-

ment should be inspected annually to help prevent uneven tire wear. All align-

ments and incurred costs are the responsibility of the retail owner.

Check that the top and bottom bracket screws are tight at the start of each camping

season.

1. Lubricate the rafter arms and support arms using parafﬁ n wax or silicone spray.

Also lubricate the threads on the knobs.

2. Periodically clean the awning fabric as follows: For a vinyl material use a mix-

ture of 1/4 cup of dish soap and 1/4 cup of bleach mixed with 5 gallons of warm

water. Liberally apply this mixture on the top of the fabric, then roll the awning up

for 5 minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom as well. Roll the awning
