Slideout Systems
The mechanical components of the slide-out room(s) are gear driven and designed to work on 12 volts DC.
WARNING:
Make sure the interior slideout room path and the slideout room itself is clear of people and objects before operating. Keep away from the slide rails and gear assembly when the room is in motion. They may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
The following guidelines should be used when using your slideout room:
- DO NOT OVER-EXTEND OR RETRACT THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM. Release the switch immediately once the room has been fully extended or retracted. Do not wait until you hear the motor stop. Overextending or retracting the slide-out room may result in damage to the stop rod and bracket.
- Do not place excessive weight in the slideout room. It can cause the slideout room to malfunction and cause damage to the slideout.
- Do not overextend/retract the slide-out room. Release the switch immediately once the room has been fully extended/retracted. Overextending/retracting the slide-out room may result in damage to the stop rod and bracket.
- Additional support jacks are not needed under the slideout. Damage can occur to your slideout room from improper use of aftermarket support jacks.
NOTE: The slideout rooms 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 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!
Operating the slideout rooms
Each slideout is equipped with a separate control switch. The control switch(s) for both coach (front) slideout rooms are located in the entrance door overhead control panel and/or on the VegaTouch screen on models with touchscreens. To extend the slideout rooms, press and hold “EXTEND” on the extend/retract switch. The slideout rooms will not extend unless this switch is held down. Release the switch immediately once it is fully extended or retracted do not let it go beyond the stop. Press and hold “RETRACT” on the extend/retract switch again to reverse the process.
If the slideout rooms will not extend or retract, contact Entegra Coach Customer Service at 1-800-283-8267, or contact a reputable dealer service facility. If it is after normal busi-ness hours, contact Coach Net for assistance. Do not attempt to service the slideout system yourself.
Electrical System
The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable on the date of manufacture. Because the electrical equipment and associated circuitry are engineered into a dedicated system specific to your RV, do not make unauthorized changes or add fixed appliances to it. Changes or additions made after delivery may result in a hazardous condition.
Service and/or modification of the electrical system should only be performed by qualified electrical technicians using approved materials, components, and methods meeting current safety and code requirements. Consult your dealer’s service department for assistance.
To read more about the various components incorporated into the RV electrical system, please refer to the information contained in your Warranty Packet.
For motorized vehicles, consult the Chassis Guide for information pertaining to the chassis drivetrain electrical system.
Electrical System Maintenance
Before working on the electrical system:
- Make sure the inverter/charger (if so equipped) is turned “off” before disconnecting batteries.Disconnect the shore power cord.
- If equipped with a generator, turn off the generator and disable the automatic generator start functionality.
- Turn off the battery disconnect switch (if so equipped)
- Turn off the 120V main circuit breaker.
- Disconnect the negative 12VDC battery terminal from the battery.
WARNING:
Use caution when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur which could cause personal injury, explosion or fire. Do not attempt to use water to put out an electrical fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
EVERYONE SHOULD EVACUATE THE RV IMMEDIATELY:
- Switch the 120-volt main circuit breaker to the “off” position. It is important that everyone knows where to find the main circuit breaker and how it operates.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable(s) at the battery.
- Disconnect the power cord from the shore power receptacle.
- Turn “off” the generator (if so equipped).
Always have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components repaired immediately.
Controls and Switches
Your motorhome is equipped with various switches and controls that allow you to operate and monitor the systems in your motorhome.
Information on these controls and their location will be provided throughout this manual. Additional information on the various components can be found in the component manufacturer’s user guide.
GFCI Circuit Breakers
Ground fault current interrupter breakers are engineered into the electrical system. They are designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock. The breakers will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads. Typically there is a GFCI circuit breaker panel (known as a G6A or G12A panel) located in a bathroom cabinet or in a basement compartment. The panel offers the benefits and convenience of breaker-style manual and auto-reset circuit protection that replaces blade-type fuses. In addition to circuit protection, the panel supports control of different systems including lighting, pumps and motors, leveling jacks, slide-outs, awnings, generators and more.
Vegatouch System (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a Firefly/Vegatouch touchscreen coach control system. The touchscreens (based on model and floor plan) offer a clean and simple interface for control-ling different features or systems. Therefore, your particular model may not include every option or system shown on the following photos.
The following systems/components MAY be controllable from the touchscreen:
- Tank monitors
- Battery status for both house and chassis batteries
- Lighting (interior and exterior)
- Generator operation
- AC and DC Power including inverters
- Water Pump, Water Heater
- RV Heating, Air Conditioning and vent fans
- Awnings and Slide-outs
- Settings for the touchscreen (time, date, clock, background, etc.)
- Built in help screens for every function
Controls for the systems on the touchscreens are directly related to individual floor plans on the motorhomes. Therefore, touchscreen photos shown throughout the owner’s manual may not be exact and may only bear a resemblance to the actual touchscreen on your motorhome. You can customize your touchscreen to your specific floorplan by going to into the Settings screen, press and hold the Floorplan button for 5 seconds. Find your floorplan from the list and select it along with any required options shown and press Confirm.
There are several different types of Firefly/Vegatouch touchscreen systems in use on Class A and Class C motorhomes. All touchscreens are similar in operation and have multiple se-lectable screens which have controls for the various systems in the motorhome. The touch screens have downloadable apps to control the systems remotely through your Apple or Android device.
