Quick Start • 5 things to do the night before
  1. Plug in to charge the battery and ensure battery disconnect is ON. If equipped, verify charge line from tow vehicle works.
  2. Start the refrigerator 12–24 hours early and keep the RV level while operating. Use Auto mode to switch between electric and LP automatically.
  3. Check LP levels and the regulator indicator; fill tanks if needed.
  4. Prime the fresh water system: 10–15 gal in black tank with chemical; fill fresh tank if no city water at site.
  5. Inspect tires, torque lugs per axle spec, and test trailer brake operation.
Campground Setup • Level, connect, extend
  • Level side‑to‑side first; chock wheels; then level front‑to‑back via tongue jack or landing legs. Stabilizer jacks are for stabilizing only.
  • Connect shore power (30/50 amp), drinking‑water hose with pressure regulator, and sewer. Avoid coiling long cords; keep total under ~50 ft when possible.
  • Extend slides after confirming no obstructions inside or out; close cabinet doors first. Extend awning only in safe wind/rain conditions.
  • Pressurize water (pump if on tank; booster OFF if using park cable; booster ON for antenna) and confirm water heater tank is full before energizing.

Awning in rain: Power awnings lack auto‑dump. Close during rain to prevent collapse. Damage from water pooling is not warrantable.

Tear‑Down Checklist • Before leaving the campsite
  • Close and latch windows, roof vents, antenna, and range hood vent tabs.
  • Switch fridge to Auto and latch doors. Turn off A/C before unplugging shore power.
  • Retract slides after removing debris and confirming doors/drawers are closed. Stow steps and raise stabilizers.
  • Disconnect water/sewer and store cords/hoses. Hitch up, connect 7‑way, attach break‑away cable, and test lights/brakes.
  • Dump black first, then grey/galley; add chemical and 10–15 gal water to black for the next trip. Never leave valves open at site.
After You Get Home • Freshen and protect
  • Turn off and cool water heater before draining. Highly recommended to drain after trips to prevent odor and algae.
  • Empty tanks and prop fridge doors open to prevent mold and odors. Wipe any condensation from defrost.
  • Decide on battery management: disconnect if storing without shore power, or keep plugged in and check distilled water more often.
Maintenance Schedules • Monthly • Seasonal • Biennial

Monthly

  • Check battery water level; tire pressures and wear; exterior seals and roof caulking.
  • Clean A/C interior filter; inspect roof A/C fins and refrigerator vents for debris or nests.

Seasonal

  • Spring: de‑winterize, test LP/CO and smoke detectors, sanitize fresh water tank, condition rubber roof.
  • Fall: winterize with RV antifreeze (not in fresh tank), inspect roof and seals, cover roof A/C and tires, rodent‑proofing.

Every 2 years or ~10,000 miles

  • Repack wheel bearings; check and adjust brakes.
Warranty Reminders • What to call, when to call
  • Report issues to Service promptly during your warranty period so we can document and coordinate with the manufacturer.
  • Adjustments to doors and cabinets are typically covered for 90 days; sealants are maintenance and not covered.
  • Tires are covered by tire manufacturer warranties; keep their contact info from your packet.

Electrical protection: Always use a surge protector. Damage from miswired outlets or surges is not covered by manufacturer warranty.

A–Z Topics • Refrigerator, awning, batteries, tanks, leveling, power, roofs…
  • Air Conditioners: Expect up to ~20°F drop vs. outside temp; keep filters clean; require shore power.
  • Refrigerator: Must be level when operating; start 12–24 hrs before loading; Auto mode handles power source; minimize door‑open time.
  • Awning: Close during wind or rain; no auto‑dump on power awnings.
  • Batteries: Deep‑cycle; slow charge; disconnect for long storage or maintain on shore power and top off distilled water.
  • Holding Tanks: Use RV toilet paper and chemical; dump black first; never leave valves open at full‑hookup sites.
  • Leveling: Level side‑to‑side, then front‑to‑back; use stabilizers only to stabilize.
  • Power Converter: Converts 110V to 12V and charges battery; fan noise is normal.
  • Roofs: Inspect at least spring/fall; reseal cracked seams with compatible sealant (no silicone on rubber roof).
