Moving the Rig

Close all windows and overhead vents

Bring in the slide after checking for obstructions

make sure small table is swung out of the way

look for things on the floor that might get jammed

bring up the stabilizers

turn off the water heater

clear all horizontal surfaces

latch shower and bathroom doors

insure all drawers and cabinets are fully closed

remove external water hose, if used

Turn off campground breakers and remove power cable and stow

Start the rig and insure the backup camera is on

if leveler blocks were used, slowly drive off them and stow

check overhead clearance for your exit path

Driving

The rig is tall and wide-check for overhanging trees and obstructions as you drive

Remember when turning tight, the back end will “swing out”

you MUST use lower side mirrors when changing lanes- HUGE blind spots

The rig is long-insure plenty of room when changing lanes

backup slowly and check for overhead obstructions behind you!

do not exceed 65 MPH

leave plenty of room in front for braking.

Making camp

You made it. Congratulations!

Hookups are on the left- rear. park accordingly

Use a helper outside to direct you if possible

they should stand where you can see them in the mirror

use agreed upon hand signals- THEY are calling the shots now

If you loose sight of them, STOP until they are back in view

leveling on uneven or sloped ground it an art form. good luck!

put the round level (in the charging cubby) on the floor

Ideally the bubble will be inside the smallest ring if you are level

“Leggos” can be added under wheels in the opposite direction the bubble is pointing

plan the whole thing before starting- three legos = 1 ring on the bubble level

have a helper tell you when you are on top of the legos

roll up the cab windows and put down the stabilizers

turn off the motor

check outside and inside clearances for the slide, then extend it

turn on water heater

hookups

Juliet requires 30 amp outlet

turn off campground breakers, plug/twist Juliet side, plug campground side, turn on breakers

hook up small hose to campground water & run it for a bit to clear

screw on filter to other end of hose, hook up to Juliet, turn selector to “City water”, turn on tap full

no need for sewer hookup, do it when you depart

fans

quick start guide

….

two powerful fans in the roof in the kitchen and bath

each has 4 controls described below- for orientation, face the front of vehicle and look up at the fan

front right switch- raise and lower the cover- fan will turn on if on/off switch is on

front-left switch- turn the fan on or off if the cover is up

rear-left knob- fan speed- there is an off position, so check this if fan doesn’t run

rear-right knob-temperature setting-fan will turn on if temperature goes above this setting

there is a rain sensor that will close the cover and turn off the fan if moisture is sensed

many of these settings will cause the fan not to run- play around!

works best if a few windows are open

generator

provides lots of 120v power to run the A/C, microwave, and charge house batteries

same as plugging the rig into a 30A outlet at the campground- all AC plugs will work
