Climate Control System (Dash)

Your motorhome has been equipped with an integrated heating/air conditioning system. It is designed to provide windshield defrost, heating and cooling for the front seat occupants only, and is not capable of heating and cooling the entire motorhome. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for detailed operating instructions and tips.

System Layout
The heater/air conditioner unit is located beneath the dash in the center or right side of the vehicle (viewed from driver’s seat). In most modes of operation the unit draws in fresh air from the outside and heats or cools it before discharging the treated air into the vehicle. Only in the MAX A/C mode does the system draw air from inside the vehicle.

Operating Features
The air conditioning system is designed to operate in all modes except VENT, FLOOR, and OFF. This provides significant moisture, dust and pollen removal for enhanced passenger comfort.

NOTE: When outside ambient temperatures are below approximately 40° F, the A/C compressor may cycle rapidly. Use FRESH AIR mode instead of A/C in these temperature conditions to cool the interior air temperature. For operational safety in the event of the loss of vacuum, the HVAC system is designed to discharge air through the defrost vents to provide continuous windshield defogging.

Blower Motor
The blower motor switch (left side or top) has 4 positions, OFF (0), slow to fast (1-4).

Temperature Control
The center switch controls heating and cooling. Maximum cooling is all the way to the blue side of the switch, and maximum heat all the way to the red side.

Air Distribution – Mode Control
To achieve maximum comfort in your motorhome, the air must be directed where it is needed. The mode switch (right side or bottom) gives the driver the ability to select where the air will flow.

1. A/C ON/OFF: Green button with the star icon next to it. Turns the air conditioning On and Off. MAX A/C Air is drawn from the passenger compartment (Re-circulated air) and discharged through the dash louvers. This position is used to provide maximum cooling and is generally used during extremely hot weather conditions for initial cool-down periods. Because MAX A/C does not allow fresh “outside” air into the passenger compartment, it may cause fogging of the windows, and/or stale air, when used for prolonged periods of time. Switch to A/C mode periodically if these conditions occur.
2. RECIRC AIR: Green button with the arrows in a circle. Recirculates the air inside the cabin. Used for faster passenger cool down in the summer. Disengage RECIRC AIR to enable FRESH AIR mode.
3. VENT (PANEL MODE): Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash louvers only.
4. BI-LEVEL (VENT/FLOOR): Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash louvers and floor outlets. The A/C system operates in BI-LEVEL mode.
5. FLOOR: Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the floor outlets.
6. MIX: Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the floor and defrost outlets. The A/C system operates in MIX mode to pro-vide windshield defogging.
7. DEFROST: Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the defrost outlets. The A/C system operates in DEFROST mode to pro-vide windshield defogging.chassisand follow the manufacturer’s pam-phlet in your warranty packet for safety and service.

NOTE: In the event of a loss of vacuum, system will automatically switch to DEFROST MODE and divert all control of the system temperature and blower speed to the driver in such an occurrence.

CAUTION:
Loss of vacuum effects many other functions of the vehicle as well as the heat-ing system. In the event of loss of vacuum, the vehicle should be taken im-mediately to the nearest authorized service center for diagnosis and/or repair.

Campsite Hook-Up

1. Refer to Electrical Systems section before connecting the shore line power cord (when using full hook-up) OR before starting the generator (if so equipped) or operating the vehicle on 12-volt power when dry camping.
2. Refer to Fuel & LP System section before using the LP system. Open the LP gas tank valve (if so equipped) slowly. There may be air in the lines and five to thirty seconds of time is needed to bleed air before LP vapor fills the lines.
3. Refer to Plumbing Systems section before connecting the fresh water supply or turning ON the water pump or water heater.
4. When using full hook-up, connect the sewer hose to the campsite sewer hook-up.
5. If applicable, start the refrigerator and the cooling or heating system.

NOTE: For extended dry camping, management of all your resources is essential. Check your battery levels and conserve battery power, use it sparingly

WARNING:
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

1. The leveling system is designed only for leveling the unit and should never be used to provide service for any reason under the motorhome such as changing tires or servicing the system. It is not recommended that you change a tire yourself.
2. Check that potential jack contact locations are clear of obstructions or depressions.
3. Keep people clear of the motorhome prior to turning the leveling system on and while the leveling system is in operation.
4. Never expose hands or other parts of the body near hydraulic leaks. High-pressure oil leaks may cut and penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
5. After starting the leveling cycle, it is important that occupants do not move around in the motorhome until the vehicle is level. Failure to re-main still during the leveling cycle can affect the leveling jack system sensors.
6. Never lift the wheels off of the ground when leveling the motorhome.
7. Do not move the motorhome while the jacks are still in contact with the ground or extended. Damage to the vehicle could occur.
8. Do not rely solely upon warning lights to determine the position of the leveling jacks. It is the operator’s responsibility to check that all the leveling jacks are fully raised in the travel mode before moving the motorhome.

Typically located on the left side of the steering wheel. For detailed operating and safety information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.

Leveling your motorhome is important for the following reasons

1. The water drainage systems are designed with proper slopes and must be level for proper operation.
2. The appliances perform best when level.

Before operating the leveling system, the motorhome:

1. Must be parked on a reasonably level surface.
2. Must have the parking brake engaged.
3. Must have the transmission gear selector in NEUTRAL.
4. The engine should not be running

NOTE: The slideout room should be extended (with the air suspension fully aired up) before leveling jacks are deployed. Wheels MUST be straight. When the coach is leveled, airbags are dumped of air which lowers the fenders below the tops of the wheels. If the wheels are not straight, fenders and/or tires WILL be damaged. This is a very expensive repair to make. DO NOT DUMP AIR FROM AIR BAGS UNLESS THE WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT!
