2017 Winnebago Tour Owner’s Manual

The 2017 Winnebago Tour was the best of the best when it came to luxury and speed in Class A diesel motorhomes. It was an amazing mix of luxury and power. Built on a Freightliner Maxum Chassis, the Tour blended strong performance with a beautiful design, bringing form and function together in a seamless way. Its grand interior was made with high-quality materials and had a gourmet kitchen, large sitting areas, luxurious bathrooms, and a luxurious master suite. With its cutting-edge technology and high-quality workmanship, the 2017 Winnebago Tour changed the way high-end RV travel is done. It was made for explorers who wanted the best in comfort, style, and roadworthiness.

SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

SLIDEOUT ROOM LOCK SYSTEM
The ignition key must be placed in the on or run position to operate the slideout room(s). The parking brake must be applied for the room(s) to run. Winnebago recommends running the engine whenever you run the slideout rooms in or out, the engine alternator should insure the rooms have adequate 12-volt DC power to operate correctly.

SLIDEOUT ROOM TRAVEL LOCKS – ELECTRIC
Some models are equipped with electric Slideout Room Travel Locks on slideout rooms to restrict movement of the slideout room while the vehicle is in motion. The slideout room will not extend until the lock is fully released. Slideout Room Travel Lock switches are located inside the overhead cabinet above the main entrance door.
NOTICE: Release Slideout Lock before attempting to extend slideout room. The room will not extend until the lock is fully released. Fasten Slideout Lock before driving the vehicle.

NOTE: Be sure locks are fully released before attempting to extend or retract the room. If the latch mechanisms are protruding more than 1/4”, the room will not extend or retract.

  • To Release: Press and hold the UNLOCK side of the Slideout Room Travel Lock switch for approximately 7 seconds. (You may be able to hear the lock motor sound stop).
  • To Lock: Press and hold the LOCK side of the Slideout Travel Lock switch for approximately 7 seconds. (You may be able to hear the lock motor sound stop).

Slideout Lock Drain Line
If your coach is equipped with electric Slideout Room Travel Locks, it is recommended to periodically inspect the slideout lock drain line (located near the top of the exterior slideout room).
NOTE: Depending on the length of your slideout room, there may be two Slideout Room Travel Locks. Therefore, two drain lines will need to be inspected (typically one located on each end of the slideout room).

It is possible for dirt and debris to collect inside the drain line and cause obstruction, not allowing water to drain properly. If the drain line is plugged, use a small tool (i.e. pipe cleaner) to dislodge any debris. Failure to comply may result in water backing up inside the drain line, resulting in water leaks and/or property damage.

SLIDEOUT ROOM RETRACTION (WITH POWER LIFT BED)
Your coach may be equipped with a power lift/lower mechanism that raises and lowers the head of your bed to best suit your comfort needs. This power lift/lower mechanism is equipped with an interlock feature, which will not allow you to retract the bedroom slideout unless the bed is in the fully upright position.
NOTICE: The bed must be in the fully upright (vertical) position to fully retract the slide room.

SLIDEOUT ROOM OPERATION – ELECTRIC
WARNING: Your motorhome may have more than one slideout room. Understand which switch operates which slideout room prior to operation. Make sure all slideout rooms are clear of people who could be harmed or obstacles that could cause damage prior to operating any slideout rooms. Failure to observe can result in death or serious injury.

Slideout rooms provide a spacious living area at the push of a button. Front slideout room switches are located either inside the cabinet above the main entrance door or near the Systems Monitor Panel. Location varies by model and floorplan. Rear slideout switches (if equipped) are located on the Switch Panel located in the OnePlace cabinet.
CAUTION: Never drive the vehicle with a slideout room extended.

The slideout room system uses 12-volt DC motorized mechanisms with an electronic control system to provide smooth operation and a positive weather seal.
NOTE: We recommend that you KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE EXTENDING OR RETRACTING SLIDEOUT ROOMS so the engine alternator can provide maximum power for proper operation of the slideout mechanisms. After initially starting a cold diesel engine the engine preheat grid may cycle on and off for up to 90 seconds, the cycling of the preheat grid will result in a momentary drop in chassis battery voltage that may cause a low voltage error in the slideout or leveling controller. If this happens, wait until the preheat grid is no longer cycling to operate your slide room and leveling jacks.

WARNING: CRUSH HAZARD. Keep people and objects clear of the inside and outside of the slideout room when operating. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

To Extend Slideout Room
Before Extending

  • Level the coach and set the Parking Brake.
  • Release the travel lock or latch (if equipped) inside the coach. See information at beginning of this section (if equipped).
  • Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed so that they will not interfere with slideout operation.
  • Ensure driver and co-pilot seat backs are clear of slideout trim before extending slideout.
  • Check inside and outside the vehicle to make sure that there are no people who could be harmed or obstacles that could cause damage due to room extension.
  • If the slideout room has a couch or other furniture, make sure no people or pets are seated on them until the room has been fully extended.
    NOTICE: Release slideout room travel latch before attempting to extend slideout room. Secure travel latch before driving vehicle.

Extend Procedure:

  • Engage the parking brake.
  • Start the engine so the alternator can provide maximum power for proper operation of slideout mechanisms.
  • Press the Slideout Room “EXTEND/OUT” switch and hold until the room is fully extended, then release the switch.
  • To stop extending the room during operation, release the button.
  • Remove and Securely store the Ignition Key.

To Retract the Slideout Room
Before Retracting

  • Be sure the coach is level and the Parking Brake is set.
  • Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed so that they will not interfere with slideout operation.
  • Ensure driver and co-pilot seat backs are clear of slideout trim before retracting the slideout.
  • Check inside and outside the vehicle to make sure that there are no people who could be harmed or obstacles that could cause damage due to room retraction.
  • Stow all furniture extensions before retracting slideout rooms to avoid property damage.
  • If the slideout room has a couch or other furniture, make sure no people or pets are seated on them until the room has been fully retracted.
  • Remove all items from the coach living room floor and close cabinet doors and drawers. Be sure there are no items at the end of the bed, behind the driver seat, or protruding from compartments, which could be crushed or cause damage to floor covering or cabinets when the room is retracted.

NOTICE: Because the slideout roof is drawn into the interior of the coach when retracted, be sure there is no debris, such as excessive dirt, tree seeds, twigs, leaves, etc. on the roof before retracting.

If it has rained recently before you retract the slideout room, we recommend using the hydraulic leveling system (if equipped) to lean the coach and drain off any excess water possibly remaining on the roof before retracting. Lean the coach slightly to the left or right (depending on slideout location), by raising both right or left side jacks to let excess water flow away from the rooftop weather seal and toward the outside of the slideout roof. Retract the slideout slowly, starting and stopping to allow water to drain off room cover.

Retract Procedure:

  • Engage the parking brake.
  • Start the engine so the alternator can provide maximum power for proper operation of slideout mechanisms.
  • Press the Slideout Room “RETRACT/IN” switch and hold until the room is fully retracted, then release the switch.
  • To stop retracting the room during operation, release the button.
  • After the room is retracted, Remove and Securely store the Ignition Key, then refasten the travel lock or latch inside the coach (if equipped).

SLIDEOUT ROOM – EXTREME WEATHER PRECAUTION
Certain extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rains, heavy snow, and high winds, or any combination of these, could cause damage to the slideout room cover-awning (if equipped) or reduce the effectiveness of the slideout room weather seals. Also, freezing rain and snow can prevent the slideout cover-awning (if equipped) from closing and may cause damage to the cover-awning, slideout room, weather seals, and mechanisms.
To avoid potential damage, we recommend retracting your slideout room during extreme weather conditions.

SLIDEOUT ROOM TROUBLESHOOTING (POWER GEAR®) IN WALL SLIDEOUT
Battery Voltage or Circuit Breaker Problems
If the slideout room will not work:

  1. Turn the Chassis Battery Disconnect switch OFF (leave it off for 20 seconds) and then turn it ON again. This will, in many cases, reset the power to the slideout system.
  2. The chassis battery may be low on charge. Press and Hold the Battery Boost switch
    (located on the dash) while pressing the interior slideout control switch. This momentarily connects the house batteries to assist in slideout room operation.
  3. The circuit breaker may be tripped. The circuit breaker, labeled “Slideout Power” is located on a panel on an interior wall of the passenger-side storage compartment just behind or ahead of the entrance door.
