 SAFETY

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The safe operation of your motorhome requires that you use common sense and follow
safety procedures as defined in this manual and all supplied information from specific
component part manufacturers. In this manual, there are specific terms and symbols to
indicate areas of potential hazards, which are based on the ANSI Z535 series of safety
information. Make sure you understand the use of these terms and symbols as defined here.

. NOTE provides additional information to make a step or procedure easier or clearer.

Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, and would not be likely to cause damage
or personal injury.
Caution is an area that mechanical or property damage is likely to happen if the
instructions are not followed. However, in the case of a caution without the safety alert
symbol, the damage will only occur to the property and should not cause personal injury.
See below for the definition of injury related cautions.

I - This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages to avoid possible injury or death.

I CAUTION is an indication of areas where minor or moderate injury may occur if

instructions are not followed. Mechanical or property damage may also occur.

I WARNING emphasizes areas where there is potential for personal injury or even
death if you fail to follow the instructions. Mechanical or property damage may also occur.

I DANGER indicates an immediate hazard situation where death or serious injury will
result if instructions are not followed. Mechanical or property damage may also occur.

Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, injury or death,
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying Jayco, Inc. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, they may open an
investigation. If they find a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, a recall and remedy
campaign may be ordered. NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems

Safety
Safety in Using LP Gas
We recommend that all work on the LP gas system be performed by your independent,
authorized dealer. The following information is provided to give a basic understanding of
LP gas.
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with an LP gas system to help provide some of the
comforts of home. This system is very dangerous. Proper handling of LP Gas, knowledge
of your system and routine maintenance are key factors to your safety and that of others
around you. The following list provides basic information for LP gas safety:
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking gas tends to flow to and pocket in low areas, such
as the motorhome floor.
• LP gas is colorless and odorless. A chemical odorant, smelling similar to rotten eggs,
is added by the gas manufacturer to make sure leaks are identifiable, which can
normally be smelled if there is a leak.
• Never light a match or allow any open flame in the presence of leaking gas or the
smell of LP gas.
• Turn off LP gas while refueling the tow vehicle.
• Some states prohibit gas appliances to be operated during travel, especially in
tunnels. Make sure you know the laws for the areas where you travel.
• Never allow LP gas tanks to be filled above the liquid capacity as indicated on the
tank. If a tank is overfilled, liquid gas may flow through the regulator causing it to
freeze and/or create dangerously excessive pressure in the lines. Make sure that an
overfilled tank is taken care of by an LP gas professional before it is put into service.
• An overfilled tank placed in sunlight may expel excess gas through the relief valve.
This causes susceptibility to ignition by nearby open flame.
Taking time to become educated about LP gas and how it should be handled are critical to
your camping experience. If you have questions, consult with your independent,
authorized dealer or LP gas professional.
Checking for Leaks
LP gas is both colorless and odorless. For your safety, a chemical agent is added by the gas
manufacturer which smells similar to rotten eggs. If you are not accustom to the smell of
LP gas, ask your independent, authorized dealer or LP gas service personnel to help you
and your family become familiar with it.
Vibration from travel can cause connections to loosen. This requires that the LP gas
system be checked periodically for leaks. The system has been tested by the manufacturer
and and Jayco recommends that the independent, authorized dealer test the system as well.
However, continued maintenance is recommended for safe operation.

TO LEAK TEST THE LP GAS SYSTEM:

• Use an appropriate LP detector solution or create a soapy water solution. If soapy
water is used, make sure that the soap used does not contain ammonia or
chlorine.
• Apply the solution to all gas piping connections.
• If a leak is present, the soap will bubble at the connections.

I WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME OR LIGHTED MATCH TO

TEST FOR LEAKS.

4
 Safety
IF A LEAK IS DETECTED:
• Turn off all appliances that utilize LP gas.
• Make sure that everyone is out of the RV, including pets.
• Turn off the LP gas at the tank(s).
• Take your RV to your independent, authorized dealer and have the system repaired
before using it again.

I WARNING: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE A

PROFESSIONAL TEST YOUR LP GAS SYSTEM FOR LEAKS ONE
TIME EACH YEAR AS PART OF NORMAL MAINTENANCE.

Electrical System Safety

Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits from overloading. Do
not make unauthorized changes to circuitry or add fixed appliances. If you wish to make
changes, consult your independent, authorized dealer and they will assist you in obtaining a
safe installation.
An approved power cord has been supplied with the vehicle. Always use this cord for
hook-up to 120-volt shoreline power. The cord has a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round) pin. Grounding is personal protection from electrical
shock.

I WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord that will

break the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin.
NEVER remove the grounding pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong
receptacle. Any deviation from this will potentially cause a fire from
overheating.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the entrance door in the
motorhome. Be familiar with its location and operating instructions as printed on the
extinguisher and any materials from the extinguisher supplier or manufacturer. It is too late
to become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, nonrefillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher by partially discharging. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the
extinguisher unusable. The extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if
any use has occurred.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

To insure that your fire extinguisher will be ready when needed:
• Read and follow all instructions on label and in owner’s manual.
• Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month - more frequently if exposed to
weather or possible tampering.
• Check pressure by pressing in white indicator button. If button does not spring back,
extinguisher will not work properly and must be discarded.
• Be sure the yellow lock pin is firmly in place.

5
Safety
• Keep the extinguisher clean. Check for dents, scratches, corrosion or any other
damage.
• Check the discharge nozzle. Make sure it is clean and free of obstructions.

I CAUTION: Under certain fire and heat conditions, the dry chemical
powder in this extinguisher (and similar units) will cause damage or prove
extremely difficult to remove from oven surfaces, including self-cleaning
models. Do not use self-cleaning feature to remove ABC Powder.

I CAUTION: Avoid inhaling the dry chemical agent contained in the

extinguisher. It is not toxic, but may cause skin irritation. In case of
contact, flush affected area with clean, cool water. If irritation persists,
contact a physician immediately. Chemical name of agent is printed on
extinguisher label.

Carbon Monoxide Detector

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that is extremely dangerous
to humans and animals. The following table contains symptoms indicative of individuals
exposed to carbon monoxide:

Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Exposure

Fatigue (often described as “flu”
Headache Unconsciousness
like symptoms)
Running nose Dizziness Convulsions
Sore eyes Drowsiness Brain damage
Nausea Confusion Cardio respiratory failure
Vomiting Fast heart rate Death

I DANGER: Any amount of exposure to CO is dangerous and must be

taken care of before reentering the RV. If anyone develops symptoms as
listed, make sure that everyone gets to an area of fresh air. Failure to do so
could result in death or serious illness.
A UL listed carbon monoxide detector has been installed in your motorhome. It is
designed to detect toxic CO fumes. If is not a substitute for other combustible gas, fire or
smoke alarms. Information has been supply by the carbon monoxide detector
manufacturer for operation, safety and maintenance. Make sure that you read, understand
and follow all information supplied by the CO detector manufacturer with your RV.

6
 Safety

Emergency Exit Window

An emergency exit window is installed in your motorhome, typically on the rear wall or
sidewall opposite the entry door. The window is identified by red snap latches and a white
label with red letters indicating "EXIT."
If access to the main door is not available, this window provides an exit from the vehicle
during an emergency. An emergency exit may also be available through the driver's side
cab door. Practice opening the window BEFORE an emergency occurs, and make sure all
occupants know how it operates.

Safety When Emergency Stopping

Pull off the roadway as far as possible for emergency situations and turn on the tow
vehicle’s warning flashers. If necessary, display your road flags and/or reflective triangles.

. NOTE: Always carry road flags and/or reflective triangles to be displayed when
necessary.

Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is supplied with your motorhome. This safety device must be correctly
maintained to work properly and warn you of smoke in your motorhome. Make sure that
you read, understand and follow all warnings, cautions, operating and maintenance
instructions supplied by the smoke detector manufacturer.

I WARNING: Improper maintenance of the smoke alarm as instructed by

the smoke alarm manufacturer creates the potential for death, personal
injury and/or property damage. Make sure that everyone knows and
understands the procedures to follow if the alarm is sounded.
Also, you need to read, understand and follow the warning label that has been affixed in
your motorhome adjacent to the smoke detector. The label reads as follows:

I WARNING
TEST SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER VEHICLE
HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP, AND AT
LEAST ONCE PER WEEK DURING USE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY.

Additional Safety Considerations

I WARNING: For traveling safety, it is extremely important to read,

understand and follow the towing, hitching and loading cargo information
provided in the Travel Chapter. If you do not understand the information
provided, please consult your independent, authorized dealer.
• Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).
• Prevent water connections from coming in contact with the ground or drain hose to
reduce chance of contamination.
• Have a certified RV technician repair and maintain the gas or electrical appliances.
• Carefully read the loading section in the Travel Chapter related to your motorhome.
• Ensure that the tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Monitor the tire
pressure closely for proper inflation. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating
of a tire, which could result in a blowout.
• Check and tighten the wheel lugs regularly, according to your chassis owner’s
manual recommendations.
• Check the brakes in a safe area - not while traveling on a busy highway.
• Before leaving a camp area, refer to the “Preparing to Travel Home...” chapter and
read, understand and follow all applicable instructions.
• Observe the warning labels attached to your vehicle concerning LP gas, water,
electricity and loading.
• Observe the maintenance chart in this manual and all applicable information supplied
by component part manufacturers related to your respective unit.

COLD WEATHER/EXTENDED USE

Your motorhome has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not intended
to be used as full-time living quarters.
Caution: Continuous living in your motorhome could cause accelerated wear and
damage to component parts. It also voids the warranty.
• Use of this motorhome during cold weather will require more protection. Using
skirting or insulation below floor level will provide additional protection if you are
camped in one area for an extended period.
• Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and drainage systems to avoid
freezing problems. Consult with your independent, authorized dealer or RV supply
house for advice on heat tapes, etc.
• Adequate gas and electrical supply is needed along with protection from possible
freeze-ups on gas regulator. The furnace will substantially increase battery draw and
LP gas use.
• During cool weather usage, ventilation or the addition of a may be required to reduce
condensation. See the next section for important information on controlling
condensation.

8
 Safety
CONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with the
climate conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there
is water vapor present in the air, which is added by breathing, bathing and cooking. The
water vapor collects where there is available air space, and when the temperature reaches
the ‘dew point’ the water vapor in the air condenses and changes to liquid form. Most
people have experienced a similar phenomenon when moisture forms on kitchen windows
and bathroom mirrors during cool weather.
Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier will assist in controlling the
condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers especially sized for
recreation use. Condensation causes dampness, mildew, staining and if allowed to continue
at high levels, damage to the paneling and wood structures. It is the owner’s responsibility
to make sure that condensation is properly removed from the air.

INSURANCE
As with your automobile, it is important that you protect yourself and others with insurance
coverages for personal liability, theft, collision, property damage, etc. Your independent,
authorized dealer can assist you in obtaining appropriate insurance for your protection or
you may check with the company which provides your automobile insurance or other
insurance companies.

11
Before you Travel...

I WARNING: Do not exceed your GVWR. Your recreation vehicle’s load

capacity is designed by weight, not by volume. You can not necessarily use
all available space when loading the vehicle.

LOADING CARGO
After you have read and understand the overall weight definitions and limits to your
motorhome, you are ready to load it for travel. With the excitement of awaiting adventures,
everyone will want to take along everything they might possibly need. This is where
careful planning and preparation will help to insure a safe trip. As you develop a routine for
loading your cargo, it may be helpful to utilize checklists and other resources. You will
find a list of items which are often used at campsites at the end of this chapter. This list will
give you a place to start when preparing your motorhome for travel. Keep in mind that your
preferences and specific camping situation will determine items you would eliminate or
add to this list.
Of most importance, above personal preferences, is the overall amount of cargo packed and
the way it is placed in the motorhome. As cargo is placed in the unit, pay particular
attention to where you place it. Follow these rules of thumb:
• Observe ALL capacity ratings to avoid problems, and make sure that you never load
your motorhome in a manner that causes the weight to exceed the GVWR, GCWR,
GAWR (of any axle) or the weight ratings of individual tires.
• Heaviest items must be stored in lower cabinets and storage areas.
• Keep the majority of the cargo weight over the axles and toward the front of the unit.
• Always pack items evenly from side to side to maintain motorhome balance.
• Make sure that all items are secured in place to prevent shifting during travel.

I WARNING: Ensure you are loading the unit as evenly as you can for the
best possible handling. All items must be secured to avoid shifting during
travel.

I WARNING: If your unit is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave items
attached to it while traveling. The ladder has a weight limit of 350# when
using it to access the top of the unit. Do not exceed this limit.

12
 Before you Travel...
The following label (Fig. 3) is attached to your motorhome as a reminder of loading rules
when loading your unit. Please read, understand and follow all guidelines and weight
ratings when loading your motorhome.

I WARNING:
PROPER ATTENTION MUST BE TAKEN FOR CARGO LOADING AND
DISTRIBUTION TO ASSURE TRAVELING SAFETY.

Holding Tank(s) and Motorhome Weight

I WARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste in your

holding tanks. With one or more full or nearly full holding tank(s), the
towing characteristics of your motorhome could change and may result in
property damage or personal injury.
The weight of holding tank contents are not calculated into the cargo carrying capacity of
the motorhome. The extra weight will diminish the cargo capacity available to you.
Traveling with full holding tank(s) could cause you to exceed the gross axle weight
rating(s), individual tire ratings and/or the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the unit.
Potential damage to suspension components, such as springs, tires and axles, could result.
If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty the tank(s), reduce your speed until
you reach the nearest dumping station.

13
Before you Travel...

Rear Bumper
The rear bumper of your unit is not designed to carry cargo. Items that extend beyond the
bumper or weigh over 100# (45kg) will place undo strain on the bumper. The 100#
capacity of your bumper includes the weight of the spare tire that may have been attached at
the factory. Some items may fall within the given weight range, however, may still cause
damage. Over time, weight added to your bumper will cause damage from the motion
created while traveling.
In addition, extra weight behind the axle may affect steering conditions. This could lead to
adverse handling from wind gusts and/or passing traffic.
Caution: Do not add items to the motorhome’s rear bumper. Add-on items will
eventually damage your bumper. Damage from add-on equipment or improper
loading voids the Limited Warranty of your motorhome.

Hitch
Your motorhome is designed to be a recreation vehicle, however it does have towing
capabilities as well as limitations. A class III hitch receiver is available with a 3,500# (1588
kilograms) gross weight capacity. A variety of extender bars of different ratings are
available. Remember the limit of weight on the hitch and chassis.
The following warning label (Fig. 4) is attached to the exterior of your motorhome near the
hitch receiver bar and in the interior adjacent to or immediately below the RVIA Weight
Information Label. (The weight labels are typically placed on the back of an interior
cabinet door in the kitchen.) For your safety, please read, understand and follow this label
and all towing and braking capacities of your vehicle found in the chassis owner’s manual
and all applicable information. For added information, consult with the chassis

WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS
As your packing and loading routine becomes more familiar from experience, physically
weighing your motorhome may not be necessary before each trip. While you are
developing a process, it is imperative that you verify compliance within the weight ratings.
Overloading your RV voids the Jayco limited, express warranty and the warranties of many
component part manufacturers. The following process will aid with weighing your
motorhome. Keep in mind that each individual scales and the surroundings will vary in
usability.
Your recreation vehicle must be weighed fully loaded, that is, with passengers, food,
clothing, fuel, water, propane, supplies, etc. Any towed vehicle (car/pickup, boat or trailer)
or item loaded on brackets on the back of the recreation vehicle, such as bikes or
motorcycles, must also be included when weighing your motorhome.
There are three types of scales: Axle Indicator
1. PLATFORM - This scale is long enough to
weigh the complete vehicle. The following
steps are suggested:
a. Pull onto the scale so that only the front axle
is on the platform (with the end of the scale
midway between the front and rear axles), and
record the scaled weight. Drive Axle Front Axle
Fig. 6
b. Pull forward until the full unit is on the scale,
and record the scaled weight.
c. Pull forward so that only the rear axle is on the scale (again with the edge of the
scale midway between the front and drive axles), and record the scaled weight.
d. If a boat, trailer or other vehicle is being towed, it should be weighed and combined
with the towing vehicle's GVWR to ensure the total weight does not exceed the
GCWR.
15
Before you Travel...
2. SEGMENTED PLATFORM - Platform scales with segmented sections can provide
individual axle weights and total vehicle weights simultaneously, when the vehicle is
positioned properly.
Position the vehicle on the scales so that each axle is centered as much as possible on
separate segments, and record the weight. Reposition the vehicle so that only one side
is on the scale, again centered on the segment as much as possible. Subtract the
weighed wheel positions from the total axle weights to determine the unweighed
wheel positions' weights.
3. SINGLE AXLE - This scale weighs one axle at a time. Drive your front axle onto the
scale and stop long enough for the weight to be recorded. Pull vehicle forward until
the rear axle is on the scale. To obtain the gross vehicle weight, add the two axle
loads together. To obtain the individual wheel position weights, repeat this process
with only one side of the recreation vehicle on the scale.

. NOTE: Even though the weight of the total axle may be within the axle's rating, it
may be overloaded on one side. This causes one wheel position to be overloaded.
Therefore, side-to-side weighing should also be done.
a. To determine individual wheel position weights, it is necessary to repeat the
previous three steps (1a, 1b, and 1c), but this time, use only one side of the scale.
b. To calculate the opposite side of the vehicle wheel position weight, subtract this
side's weights from the weights recorded in steps 1a, 1b, and 1c.
Your recreation vehicle must remain as level as possible on the scale (even though an axle
or side is not physically on the scale). Obviously, to obtain the side-to-side weights, there
must be enough space on either side of the scale to accommodate the recreation vehicle
being partially off the scale.
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to weights on
the other side, components (tires, wheels, brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side could be
overloaded, even though the total axle load is within the GAWR. It is important to
redistribute the load to avoid component failure, to improve the handling characteristics of
the vehicle and to not void the warranty.
With these actual weights, it is now possible to compare them against the GAWR, GVWR
and tire capacities. These weights are also what should be used to help determine the proper
air pressure for the tires.
TIRES
The chassis manufacturer has equipped your motorhome with name brand tires.
Recommended air pressure (PSI) is stamped on each tire and can also be found on the
Federal Certification Label. Always check air pressure and adjust accordingly while tires
are cold. During travel, tires heat up and pressure increases. DO NOT release air pressure
when tires are hot or your tires may then be under inflated.
Any service or warranty coverage on tires will be handled by the tire store representing the
specific brand on your motorhome.

I WARNING: It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the

beginning of each journey to obtain the maximum life and proper
performance of the tires. Follow the instructions of the tire manufacturer
to determine the correct tire pressure. Underinflation or overinflation
may cause tire failure and loss of control, resulting in injury, death or
property damage.
16
 Before you Travel...
WHEEL LUGS
Ensure that wheel lugs are tight as specified in the chassis manual. When your vehicle is
new or a tire has been removed for any reason, re-torque the lug nuts at 10, 25 and 50 miles
(15, 40 and 100 kilometers) and every 3,000 miles (5000 kilometers) thereafter.

SEAT BELTS
Three-point shoulder harnesses and lap belts are provided at the front driver and passenger
seats by the chassis manufacturer. See the chassis manual for operating instructions and
warnings.
For the recreation vehicle section, the dinette, sofa, and barrel chairs have two-point lap
seat belts installed. Swivel chairs must be locked facing forward or toward the rear while
traveling.
To operate:
• Slide the loose end of the seat belt into the buckle until it "clicks" in place.
• Adjust by pulling the loose strap end until it fits snugly on your upper lap.
• To release the seat belt, push the button on the buckle and pull apart.

I WARNING: Your motorhome is equipped with seatbelts at all seat

locations. Having seatbelts at all seat locations does not necessarily mean
that all seats can be occupied at one time, because you cannot exceed the
GVWR of your vehicle. When calculating the loaded weight of the vehicle,
make sure to include all people who will be riding in the unit. The GVWR
of your unit is located on the Motorhome Weight Information label.

. NOTE: Pregnant women should consult a physician for seat belt use.
DRIVING
Driving a motorhome is similar to an automobile, however the size of the motorhome
requires different handling. If you are not familiar with handling a large vehicle, become
familiar with all controls and the unit’s handling ability. The following list of items
provides information to keep in mind during travel:
• Motorhomes are built on a larger chassis than cars, and you will sit higher off the
road.
• The chassis wheel base is longer and the “house” portion of the RV is longer. This
requires more space to turn and change lanes during travel.
• The motorhome is heavier than a passenger vehicle. The additional weight requires a
longer distance to pass another vehicle and to stop the motorhome.
• Always use your turn signals when changing lanes.

17
Before you Travel...
BACK UP CAMERA
Your motorhome may have a camera mounted on it to
view directly behind the unit when backing. A monitor
is installed on the back of the driver’s seat sun visor. The
monitor is operational whenever the motorhome engine
is running. To use the monitor, flip the switch from
stand-by to on. (Fig. 7) Make sure you turn the monitor
to stand-by while driving to avoid being distracted.
Fig. 7
POWER MIRRORS
A control panel is placed in the mounting panel of the mirror on the driver's side. The
system is powered by 12-volt DC with fuse located under the dash, 1-amp in line.

TO OPERATE:
1. Center switch is "OFF" when you can observe both letters (R/L).
2. Move the center tab to the extreme right or left, viewing only one letter.
3. Power is now on.
4. Press any arrow in the direction you wish to move the mirror.
5. Place the tab in the center to turn the switch off.
ELECTRIC DOOR STEP (STANDARD ON SOME MODELS)
The electric door step opens automatically when the screen door is opened. The power is
supplied by 12-volt DC through a 30-amp breaker located by the engine. A yellow wire
supplies power to the electric step.

I CAUTION: When opening the door from the outside, ensure that you are
not in the path of the step.

18
 Before you Travel...
PRE-TRAVEL CHECKLIST

I WARNING: For traveling safety, it is important to make sure that tie

down straps are secured on all appliances such as the television, coffee
maker, etc. Vibration caused during travel will move the appliances
creating the potential for them to fall out of their cabinets possibly causing
injury.
In order to enjoy your travel, having all the right tools and supplies will help. A checklist
may be beneficial to avoid forgetting something essential. This list is meant to be a starting
point, while realizing that personal preference will also play a large roll in your packing.
There are items here which may not apply for you and items which could trigger other
ideas. As you expand your camping experience, you may wish to develop your own list of
needs.

 SETTING UP CAMP...

SELECTING YOUR CAMPSITE

In some cases, searching for the right campground prior to traveling might be the first step
in selecting your site. Some campgrounds will allow reservations made in advance.
Depending on the area you are headed to and the time of year (i.e. around a holiday),
reservations may limit your frustration upon arrival.
Your trip experience will be affected by the site you choose to park your RV. With time,
you will know what you are looking for and what best fits your needs. A few items to keep
in mind when selecting your campsite are:
• Arrive before dark, if possible, to make the site selection easier.
• Is the ground level? This will help with leveling your RV and making your stay more
comfortable.
• Is there plenty of space?
= Will it accommodate slideouts, awnings, etc.? (if applicable)
= Is there room for picnic tables, lawn chairs, campfire, etc.?
= Is it void of hanging limbs that may damage your unit?
• Is it located in a convenient area?
= Will you be able to park close enough to hookups (water, sewer, electric)?
= Are you away from noisy areas or things that might detract from a positive
experience?
= Is there plenty of shade?
= Is there good drainage in case of bad weather?
Beyond finding a site that best suits your needs, it is also helpful to keep in mind how you
are affecting your camping neighbors’ experience. Some etiquette items to keep in mind
are:
• Observe the quiet times as posted and abide by the rules of the campground.
• Don’t play loud music or make noise which is going to be disturbing to others around
you.
• If pets are allowed, keep them restrained.
• Show respect to others, don’t make shortcuts through occupied campsites.
• Keep your campsite clean and pick up all trash before departing from the
campground.

SETTING UP YOUR MOTORHOME

Leveling Your Motorhome

Leveling your RV is critical for several reasons. Your camping experience will be more
pleasant in a level unit. It is important for your RV to be level for proper operation of items
such as the refrigerator, the slideout system and draining tanks.
Using blocks under the RV tires is a common way to level the unit. Blocks for this purpose
can be purchased from various RV resources or made out of wood. The proper size of
blocks are required to prevent causing damage to the tires. Make sure the blocks used
cover the entire footprint of the RV tire. Refer to Fig. 8 for proper tire blocking.

Proper Improper
Fig. 8

Additional Set Up

STABILIZER JACKS
1. Insert the crank onto the stabilizer jack shaft.
2. Turn it clockwise to lower the jack. Continue lowering the jack until the frame of the
motorhome begins to rise slightly.
3. Equalize the jacks for best support. This may require that you adjust each jack
several times. When not parked on cement, you may wish to place a wood or hard
plastic block under the jack for convenience.

I WARNING: DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS TO LEVEL THE

UNIT. It is important to remember that the stabilizer jacks are to be used
only for support while occupying and moving around the motorhome.
They are not designed to bear the weight of the motorhome.

TELEVISION

SLIDEOUT ROOM OPTION

The slideout room is designed for additional floor space and comfort. Mechanical
components are gear driven. Read ALL slideout instructions before operation.

I CAUTION: Do not place excessive weight in the slideout room. It can

cause the slideout room to malfunction and cause damage to the slideout.
Components
The slideout system has numerous major components and are as follows:
• One inner rail drive assembly to support the room weight.
• For electric systems, a 12-volt DC motor and drive shaft will operate the room using
energy from an on-board recreation vehicle battery.
• For electric systems, a specially designed auto reset fuse has a load sensing capability
that stops the motor when the room reaches its fully extended or retracted position.
• A manual override system that allows you to move the room in or out in the event of
a power loss.

I WARNING:
V Ensure that the motorhome is level before operating the slideout room.
Water leaks and other problems could result if the slideout is operated
without leveling the motorhome.
V Ensure there are no people or obstructions blocking the path of the room
when it is moving.
V Keep away from the slide rails when the room is in motion.
V The gear assembly may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing personal
injury.
V Always install travel bars for storage and transportation.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

Caution: After the slideout is extended, verify that the corners of the
black rubber seal are set up correctly. The corners of this seal are
cut at a 45 degree angle. The top of the seal must overlap the side of
the seal to avoid the possibility of water penetration. (Fig. 9)

AWNING SET UP
Your RV may be equipped with awnings for the slideout, windows, and over the entrance
area. Provided with your unit are instructions from the manufacturer which supply the
operation and maintenance instructions for your awnings. If you have questions, consult
with your independent, authorized dealer, review the materials from the awning
manufacturer and/or visit their website at www.carefreeofcolorado.com.

UTILITY HOOKUPS
To complete the unit set-up, the utilities should be hooked to the proper sources as supplied
by the campground. Make sure that you read, understand and follow all information
provided for complete operation of the utility systems.

Electricity
By connecting the RV electric system to the campground electric source, or “shoreline”
power, electricity will be supplied to operate the 120-volt AC and 12-volt DC electrical
systems. When hooking up to electricity, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that all circuit breakers are turned off in the RV.
2. Locate the power cord and pull it from the RV to the length required.
3. Plug into the campground power source

I WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater or extension cord that will

break the continuity of the grounding circuit. NEVER remove the
grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle. Any deviation
from this will potentially cause a fire from overheating.
Caution: Power surges experienced while plugged in at a campground could
potentially damage electronic component parts in your recreation vehicle. Damage
from power surges are not covered by your Jayco warranty. Consult the component
part manufacturer’s owner’s manual and/or your independent, authorized dealer
for recommendations on power surge protection.

12 VOLT DC DEMAND PUMP
To utilize water from your water tank, you need have 12 volt DC power to operate the
demand pump. Energy for the pump is supplied by the auxiliary battery or converter.
Depending on your motorhome model, the demand pump will be located under the bed, in a
cupboard, under the unit or under the sink. The switch to operate the pump is located on the
monitor panel or a wall near the pump.
Refer to instructions supplied by the pump manufacturer with your . If you have questions,
consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website at
www.shurflo.com.

. NOTE: The water pump switch should be in the off position when the camper is
left unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water
system, this will help limit water damage to a smaller area.

SAFETY
The following warning label is placed on the exterior of your trailer at each water tank inlet.
Make sure you read, understand and follow this label and all applicable instructions.

I WARNING: POTABLE WATER ONLY. SANITIZE, FLUSH AND

DRAIN BEFORE USING. SEE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. FAILURE
TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR

Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encountered in some parks,
especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regulators are available to protect your
system against such high pressure. A regulator of this type is recommended to prevent
damage to the plumbing system or components.
Caution: Not using a water pressure regulator when using city water may cause the
o-rings to blow. It is advisable to always use a water pressure regulator when using
the city water connection.

LP Gas Connections and Start Up

I WARNING: LP gas can be extremely dangerous. Make sure that you

read, understand and follow all information supplied in this manual and
all component part manufacturers before operating your LP gas system.
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment, follow
these steps for LP gas operation.
1. Close all the burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve on the LP gas tank slowly to avoid a fast rush through the excess
flow valve causing a “gas freeze.” If you experience a gas “freeze-up,” close the main
valve and wait fifteen (15) minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as the gas begins to flow. If “hissing” is heard for more than one or
two seconds, this may indicate a leak. Immediately close the valve and search for the
leak.

30
 Setting Up Camp...
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appliance manufacturer’s
instructions.
Make sure that you read, understand and follow ALL safety requirements for handling and
operation of the LP gas system. Literature is supplied with your unit from the manufacturer
of the various appliances hooked to your LP gas system. The LP gas system provides
added benefits to your camping enjoyment, however, it must be handled with care. If you
have any questions or concerns, consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or
the specific appliance manufacturer.

Waste Disposal
Proper care of the sanitation system is critical to efficient operation. Make sure that you
have reviewed and understand the operation of your system.
Some campgrounds provide sewer hook up right at the individual campsite. This
convenience can save a great deal of energy if utilized properly. If hook up is not provided
at your site, the motorhome will need to be moved to an approved dump station.
The termination valves for your holding tanks are located in the utility panel of the
motorhome.
When hooked up to the sewer drain line at a campsite, keep the termination valve on the
waste tank CLOSED until the tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient water to
assist in complete draining of the tank. At this time, open the termination valve to empty the
tank (see directions for draining above) and close the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat
this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open when hooked up to
the park’s sewer system.
To Connect the Motorhome for Waste Disposal:
1. Make sure the unit is as level as possible to aid with drainage.
2. Attach the adapter to the flexible sewer hose and secure it with a clamp.
3. Remove the dust cap and attach the adapter onto the drain pipe.
4. Turn the adapter 10° to lock it onto the pegs on the drain pipe.
5. Place the other end of the hose into an approved sewer system.
6. Open the black tank termination valve to empty the black tank.
7. Open the gray tank termination valve to empty the gray tank, utilizing the water to
rinse the flexible hose.

No-Fuss Flush System

Your motorhome is equipped with a no-fuss flush tank spray system. This feature provides
hook up for cleaning the interior of the black holding tank. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with your motorhome for complete operating instructions.

Water Purification System

A water purification is installed on your motorhome. This system is equipped with a
long-life cartridge to effectively reduce chlorine, taste, odor, sediment, organic chemicals
and inhibit bacteria growth. Whenever the water system has not been used for some time,
allow water to flow for several minutes to flush the system. When the system is not in use,
store the water filter cartridge in the mounting bracket located near the water system, and
when necessary, out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter cartridge. A clear plastic bypass hose with
fittings on either end is supplied with the motorhome to replace the water filter when the
motorhome is winterized. The hose should be stored when the filter is in use and kept
available to reuse.
The filter should be replaced the sooner of: reduced water flow causing an inconvenience,
or one time each year.

TO REPLACE THE FILTER:

1. Drain the water system.
2. Remove the cartridge by disconnecting the fitting at either end of the filter and pull it
out of the fittings. It may be helpful to have a container available under the filter to
catch any water left in the lines or filter.
3. If winterizing the unit, install the bypass hose and store the filter as is appropriate.
4. If replacing the filter, install the new filter and tighten the fittings at either end.

I CAUTION: Never allow the filter to freeze or come in contact with RV

antifreeze when the motorhome water system is winterized. Refer to

GENERATOR
The function of a generator is to supply 120-volt AC power on a limited basis when
extended power is not available.
The power to start the generator comes from the auxiliary battery. A start/stop switch is
located on a mounting plate with the generator. A remote generator start switch is located
near the monitor panel inside the motorhome.
• If the auxiliary battery has been drained of power, start the chassis engine to supply
12-volt DC power to the auxiliary battery and then start the generator.
• If both the auxiliary battery and the chassis battery are low on power, it is best to
obtain assistance from another motorist and use jumper cables.
• If you are in a situation with no assistance available and both the auxiliary and
chassis battery have a small amount of voltage, it is possible to start the generator if
two people are present. One person will need to hold the auxiliary start button on the
dash and the other person will need to press the start button on the generator.
The generator will draw fuel from the chassis fuel tank. When the tank drops to ¼ tank, the
generator will shut off to preserve fuel for operating the motorhome.
The generator is manufactured by Onan. They have supplied an owner’s manual with your
motorhome for safety information, operation and maintenance of the generator. Make sure
you read and follow all information supplied to you. If you have questions, consult your

Utility Center (Manifold) Operation

I WARNING: Failure to sanitize the potable water system could result in

death or serious illness.

SANITIZING UNITS WITH UTILITY CENTER

Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of fresh
water. Depending on use and the environment the system is subject to, sanitizing is
recommended prior to storing and before using the water system after a period of storage.
Systems with new components, or ones that have been subjected to contamination, should
also be disinfected as follows:
1. Drain the water tank and water heater completely by opening all faucets and low
point drains until tank and heater are empty.
2. In a large bucket prepare a chlorine solution using 3/4 cup of household bleach and
three (3) gallons (12 liters) of water.
3. Attach the intake hose to the “City Fill Connection” located inside or under the utility
center panel. (Fig. 13) Place the free end in the bucket of chlorine solution.
4. Position the “Control Valves” on the “Utility Panel” to the “Sanitize Tank”
configuration. (Fig. 12) The low point drains located directly below the utility center
must be closed for the chlorine solution to siphon through the lines.
5. Turn the “Water Pump Switch (Fig. 13) to the “ON” position and pump all of the
chlorine solution into the tank.
6. After pumping all the chlorine solution into the tank, position the “Control Valves” to
the “City Fill” configuration. (Fig. 12)
7. Attach a garden hose to the “City Fill Connection” (Fig. 13) and finish filling the
tank.
8. Open kitchen and bathroom faucets to allow air to escape the water lines and the
water heater.
9. Turn the “Water Pump Switch” to the “ON” position and allow several seconds for
the pump to prime. (Fig. 13)
10. After the water heater and water lines fill, the air will stop bubbling out of the faucets.
At this point, turn all faucets off. Please note, the water heater will hold
approximately six gallons of water. Allow the water to run long enough to ensure that
the tank is full.

39
Utilities & Systems
11. Allow to stand for three hours.
12. Drain the water tank and water heater completely by turning on all faucets until the
tank and water heater are empty.
13. With the garden hose connected to the “City Fill Connection” (Fig. 13), refill the tank
with fresh water as in steps 6 and 7.
14. Open kitchen and bathroom faucets to allow air to escape the water lines and the
water heater.
15. Turn the “Water Pump Switch” (Fig. 13) to the “ON” position and allow several
seconds for the pump to prime.
16. After the water heater and water lines fill, the air will stop bubbling out of the faucets.
At this point, turn all faucets off. Please note, the water heater will hold
approximately six gallons of water. Allow the water to run long enough to ensure that
the tank is full.
17. Allow to stand for at least three hours.
18. Drain the water tank and water heater completely by opening all faucets and low
point drains until tank and heater are empty.

To Remove Excess Chlorine Odor and Taste:

1. In a large bucket, prepare a solution of 1/2 cup baking soda to one gallon (4 liters) of
water for every 15 gallons (60 liters) of tank capacity.
• Repeat steps 3-10 from above.
2. Allow the baking soda solution to sit in the tank for a few days, if possible. If you can
have the soda in the tank while traveling, it will work better to clean and refresh the
tank from the agitating motion.
• Repeat steps 12-18 from above.

 Utilities & Systems
SANITATION SYSTEM
Your motorhome is equipped with a complete sanitation system. The components of this
system are the toilet, waste water and sewage holding tanks and drains for both tanks.
Familiarize yourself with all functions of the system. Read, understand and follow the
information found here as well as information in the “Set Up Camp...” chapter. If you have
questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer for clarification.
Using Toilet and Tank System

. NOTE: For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is

advisable to always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet.

Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet several
times to release sufficient water into the holding tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of
water used during flushing, the waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain
line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after
flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank. Unlike a toilet in a
home, which uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) of water per flush, the average
recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1-3 liters).
Vents
Another important part of the sanitation system are the vents which release air from the
tanks. Each tank has a vent pipe built into the motorhome through the cabinet, wall and
roof. A vent cap is attached to the roof and must be clear of obstructions to perform as
intended. On some models, the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as a
“wet vent.” This means water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.
Holding Tanks
The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located below
the floor of your motorhome. The bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank, also
referred to as the “gray” water holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage holding tank,
also referred to as the “black” waste holding tank. Certain floor plans may also have the
lavatory draining into the waste (black) tank.

WASTE (BLACK) TANK PREPARATION

1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle, by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the tank.

Caution: It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste build up. Follow
these directions each time after emptying your holding tank, except when
winterizing.

GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK

No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors from food
particles in the system.

41
Utilities & Systems

Heated Holding Tanks

With the heated tank option, a pad will be glued to the exterior bottom side of the holding
tank. Heat is supplied by 12-volt DC power through the heating element built into the pad.
Approximately 6-amps of energy per pad is consumed and fused through the 12-volt power
supply board. Switches to turn heat pads on or off are located on an interior wall in or near
the bathroom.
Power to heating pads should be turned off until:
1. Water is in the holding tank.
2. Temperature drops to 32° (0° C).
3. Motorhome is parked, setup and all attachments performed.

. NOTE: Turn heat pads off when dumping and draining tanks.
An internal thermostat is built into components of the heat pad to assist in energy
conservation.

LP GAS SYSTEM

I DANGER: LP gas can be extremely dangerous. Improper use of the LP

gas system will present an immediate hazard situation where death or
serious injury will result. It is possible that mechanical or property
damage will also occur. Make sure you read, understand and follow all
information supplied with your unit in this manual and all component part
manufacturer’s literature.
It is because of the LP gas system that your RV has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove,
water-heater, and furnace. The components of the LP gas system are:
• LP gas tank
• A two stage regulator
• Pipes, hoses and tubing to deliver the gas to appliances
When correctly used, the LP gas system is a safe and effective way to operate the
appliances in your RV. This system is also potentially very dangerous and should be used
with care. Carefully read, understand and follow all information supplied with your for the
LP gas system and its components and consult with your dealer about the proper operation
of the LP gas system.

I WARNING: IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE THE COOKING APPLIANCE

FOR COMFORT HEATING.
1. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
a. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
b. Open window.
2. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of
the recreation vehicle, and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) will avoid dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important
that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.

FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION

RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

The following label has been placed in the motorhome near the range area. Please read,

SERVICING AND FILLING LP GAS TANK
Your LP gas tank should only be serviced and filled by a qualified person who knows the
proper inspection and safety procedures. If an LP gas tank is new, make sure the service
person is aware of it so they can be purged prior to being filled. LP gas tank must never be
filled beyond 80% of capacity to allow for expansion with increases in temperature. The
following warning label is located near the LP gas tank. Make sure that you read,
understand and follow these warning labels.

I WARNING: DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80

PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
V Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which
can cause fire or explosion.
V A properly filled container will contain approximately 80 percent of its
volume as liquid LP gas.

I WARNING: LP gas cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside the

vehicle. LP gas cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve
excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere. FAILURE TO
COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

I WARNING: Do not bring or store LP gas cylinders, gasoline, or other

flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or explosion can result.

I WARNING: Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and

charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreation vehicle.
The use of this equipment inside the recreation vehicle may cause fires or
asphyxiation.
When an LP gas tank gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor,
which may be mistaken for a gas leak. After refueling the tank, the odor usually will
disappear. If not, turn off the LP gas tank and have the system checked by a qualified
technician.

I WARNING: DO NOT use tools or heavy equipment to open or close

valves on the LP gas tank. HAND TIGHTEN only. The use of tools to
tighten the tank valve creates the potential to overtighten the valve. This
could cause damage to the interior seals on the tank valve seat. If damage
occurs, you will not be able to close the tank properly, creating a false sense
of security that the LP gas tank is shut off. Consult with your independent,
authorized dealer or a qualified LP gas dealer if you have further
questions.

I DANGER: Never smoke during the filling of LP gas tanks. Failure to

follow this safety rule could lead to death or serious injury from fire or

Remember - POL adapters and fittings have left hand

POL ADAPTER AND LOW PRESSURE

LP gas leaves the tank through a POL adapter with an excess flow valve built into the
adapter, which is attached to the regulator. No sealant is required on a brass to brass
connection. The excess flow valve provides a large volume of LP gas to escape from the
bottle if there is a breakage between the LP gas tank and the regulator.

REGULATOR
The regulator is an integral part of the LP gas system. It is required to reduce the pressure of
the LP gas before it is sent to the system to operate your appliances. It is critical to your
safety that you read, understand and follow all literature supplied with your unit on the
operation and maintenance of the regulator.

I WARNING: LP gas regulators must always be installed with the

diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in a
compartment have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that
the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to
minimize vent blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure
causing fire, explosion, death or serious injury.

MAIN SUPPLY HOSE – LOW PRESSURE

The main supply hose (Fig. 21) is attached from the regulator to the brass manifold fitting
in the frame of the motorhome. The swivel brass nut on the main hose is the final
attachment.

approximately 25’–35’ (7 to 10 meters) from the motorhome depending on floor plan.
Your RV power cord must be fully extended and not left coiled in the compartment or on
the ground. If the cord is left coiled, it creates potential for heat to melt the cord’s casing
together.
To prevent accidental electrical shock, insure that the ground pin on the attachment plug
cap is intact to the earth ground through the RV park receptacle. Any accidental short of a
live circuit conductor will trip the circuit breaker indicating a shorted circuit. Make sure
that the polarity of the external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm to appliances
and personal electrical shock. Polarity indicators may be purchased in most electrical and
hardware stores.
It is strongly recommended to avoid the use of extension cords. Using an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord and equipment, and it voids the warranty.
It may also cause premature failure of the AC equipment. If you choose to use an extension
cord, it MUST be the same amperage rating as the RV power cord and be identified for
heavy-duty outdoor use. However, the use of an extension cord can still cause all the
problems discussed here and will void the warranty.

I WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater or extension cord that will

break the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin.
NEVER remove the grounding pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong
receptacle. Any deviation from this will potentially cause a fire from
overheating.

POWER CENTER
Your motorhome is equipped with a power center that includes 120-volt breakers, 12-volt
fuses and battery charging capability. Your motorhome is equipped with a transfer switch
that automatically switches between generator power and external power when the
optional generator is ordered.

AC DISTRIBUTION CENTER
When 120-volt AC is connected to the power center through an external power source or
generator, the 120-volt AC circuits are activated. These circuits are protected by circuit
breakers contained in the AC load center. 120-volt AC circuits may be turned off by
flipping the circuit breaker to indicate “OFF”. The circuits may be turned on or reset by
flipping the breaker to indicate “ON”.

GFCI

I WARNING: Make sure you read, understand and follow all instructions
supplied by the GFCI receptacle manufacturer with your RV. Failure to
follow these instructions could lead to death or serious injury from shock
or electrocution.
Each motorhome has a GFCI receptacle installed. These initials mean “Ground Fault
Current Interrupter.” This special receptacle has been designed to reduce the possible
injury caused by electrical shock.
An example of ground fault current is the current which would flow through a person who
is using or touching an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact
with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
When this GFCI receptacle is tripped, it has interrupted ground fault current caused by such
things as faulty insulation or wet wiring inside some appliance or equipment connected to
the circuit. The faulty equipment should be repaired before is it used again.
This GFCI receptacle will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The circuit
breaker or fuse in the electrical panel which supplies power to the circuit provides this
protection.
This GFCI receptacle should be tested monthly while the motorhome is being used.
Testing Instructions
1. Plug a lamp or radio into the receptacle on the face of the GFCI.
2. Push and release the RESET button.
3. The lamp should light at this time.
4. Press the TEST button.
5. The RESET button should pop out indicating it has been “tripped” and the lamp
should go out. (If the GFCI is manufactured with an indicator light, the light should
glow when the device has tripped.)
6. If the GFCI did not trip, do not use the outlet. Call a qualified electrician to service or
replace the receptacle. The ground fault protection is no longer working properly.
7. To restore power after “tripping”, press in the RESET button. It must remain in. (If an
indicator light is furnished, it will be off.)

CONSUMPTION OF 120-VOLT AC POWER

As more appliances are purchased, you must remember a motorhome has only 30-amps of
incoming power available. Conserving and choosing which appliance has priority in
consumption may be required.
In addition, loose items such as toasters, skillets, coffee pots, etc. are often included in
traveling cargo. Include these in your amp consumption and safety planning.

 Utilities & Systems

12-Volt DC (Direct Current) System

. NOTE: The motorhome master battery switch MUST be turned on before 12-volt
devices will operate.

Included with your power center is a power converter which transforms 120-volt AC
energy into 12-volt DC energy to supply your motorhome. When 120-volt AC power is
supplied to the power center through the main circuit breaker in the "ON" position, the
converter will supply 12-volt DC power to the motorhome as long as the auxiliary battery is
properly connected.
Electrical component parts are sensitive to heat and power converter will produce heat.
Ventilation is required for proper operation. A fan is built into the power converter to assist
air movement and provide temperature control. If normal ventilation is obstructed and the
fan is unable to control the temperature, a protective "Thermal Breaker" will trip the
120-volt AC power to the power converter. After the converter cools down, the breaker
will reset automatically and 12-volt DC power will be restored.
Replaceable fuses are used to protect the 12-volt DC component parts. If a fuses blows, it is
an indication that a circuit is overloaded or there is a “short circuit.” Contact your
independent, authorized dealer for assistance.
A separate 12-volt fuse panel supplies power to your chassis. Consult the chassis owner’s
manual for assistance.
When 120-volt AC power is supplied to the power converter through a direct connection at
the campsite, the converter will supply 12-volt DC power to the auxiliary battery
automatically.
The auxiliary battery will also receive a charge from the alternator when the engine is
running.

Batteries, Chassis and Auxiliary

Each chassis is built with a battery to provide energy to start the engine and supply energy
for other component parts in the chassis. This battery is located under the hood. The
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) chassis battery is furnished and warranted by
your Ford or GM dealership (as applicable).
An auxiliary battery is included in each motorhome for storage power when 120-volt
energy is not available. When drawing energy from the battery, remember that there is a
limited amount of power available before the battery needs to be recharged. This auxiliary
battery is located in the "house portion" of your motorhome. All auxiliary batteries require
an "in-line" fuse, or a 12-volt circuit breaker, placed within 18" of battery for your
protection.
To Recharge the Auxiliary Battery:
1. When the motorhome engine is running, the alternator will automatically supply a
charge to replenish the auxiliary battery.
2. When parked at a campsite, plug into shore line power. With minimal or no load on
the electrical system, the converter will automatically charge the auxiliary battery.
This may take several hours and depends upon battery condition and the number of
12-volt components being operated during the charging period.

51
Utilities & Systems
ISOLATORS
When an auxiliary or "house" battery is installed in a recreation vehicle, it's the nature of
parallel circuitry to draw energy from both batteries (auxiliary and chassis). A device
called an "isolator" must be installed for two purposes. First it receives current from the
alternator and controls distribution of energy to house and chassis batteries. Secondly, it
serves as a check valve to prevent energy from being drawn from the chassis battery.
Energy in the chassis battery is preserved and available to start the engine.
The motorhome has a solenoid located on the chassis cowl under the hood.
MASTER BATTERY SWITCH
Located near the entrance door there is a master battery switch. This master battery switch
controls most 12-volt power supplied to the "house portion" of the motorhome. This switch
must be "ON" before electrical current will be supplied to the appliances, outlets, and
lights. During storage of your motorhome, it is important to have this switch in the "OFF"
position.

. NOTE: Make sure the master battery switch is in the "OFF” position during storage
of the motorhome to avoid draining current from the battery. If your motorhome
has a detachable in-dash radio face plate, it must be removed during storage to
prevent current draw from the auxiliary battery.

AUXILIARY START SYSTEM

Your motorhome can momentarily connect the auxiliary and chassis batteries if the chassis
battery becomes discharged for any reason.
To Start the Unit When the Chassis Battery Has Been Discharged:
3. Press the button on the dash, located on the left side of the steering column, and hold.
4. Use the ignition switch to start the engine.
5. Release the button after the engine has started.

Inverter (Option)
Your motorhome may be equipped with an inverter that converts 12-volt DC current to
120-volt AC current to operate items such as TVs, VCRs, laptops, camcorders and other
small AC devices. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the inverter function
and operation. Refer to the inverter manufacturer’s owner’s manual for complete
operating instructions and/or consult with your independent, authorized dealer.
Generator (Option)
This generator will produce 120-volt power when camping in an area where shore power is
unavailable. An automatic transfer switch is located within the load center and will not
require any manual operation.
The generator must have 12-volt DC power to start, will start from the auxiliary battery and
will draw fuel from the chassis supplied fuel tank.
• When the fuel tank drops to 1/4 tank, the generator will shut off to avoid running the
vehicle completely out of fuel.
• If the auxiliary battery has been drained of power, start the chassis engine to supply
12-volt DC power to the auxiliary battery and then start the generator.
• If both the auxiliary battery and the chassis battery are low on power, it is best to
obtain assistance from another motorist and use jumper cables.
52
 Utilities & Systems
• If you are in a situation with no assistance available and both the auxiliary and
chassis battery have a small amount of voltage, it is possible to start the generator if
two people are present. One person will need to hold the auxiliary start button on the
dash and the other person will need to press the start button on the generator.
See the generator manufacturer’s owner’s manual for additional information on generator
operation and/or consult with your independent, authorized dealer.

DRAINING THE HOLDING TANKS

. NOTE: Make sure you review the information in the “Before You Travel...”
chapter for specific information related to the weight of holding tank contents.

In the utility panel of the motorhome are labels (Fig. 25 & Fig. 26) that indicate the location
of the gray and black holding tank drain. A typical set up of the tank drain and termination
valves is indicated in Fig. 27. Look for the labels to locate the drain and follow the
instructions below to empty the tanks.

Fig. 25 Fig. 26

Fig. 27

When hooking up to the sewer drain line in a campground, keep the termination valve on
the waste tank CLOSED until the tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient water
to assist in complete draining of tank. At this time, open the termination valve to empty the
tank (see directions for draining below) and close the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat
this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open when hooked up to
the park’s sewer system.

56
 Preparing to Travel Home...
To empty holding tank:
1. Make sure the unit is as level as possible to aid with drainage.
2. Attach the adapter to the flexible sewer hose and secure it with a clamp.
3. Remove the dust cap and attach the adapter onto the drain pipe.
4. Turn the adapter 10° to lock it onto the pegs on the drain pipe.
5. Place the other end of the hose into an approved sewer system.
6. Open the black tank termination valve to empty the black tank.
7. Open the gray tank termination valve to empty the gray tank, utilizing the water to
wash and rinse the flexible hose.
All drain pipes have a “P-trap” installed into each line. Water in these traps prevent odors
from escaping into the motorhome. During travel, water from the P-traps may spill and
permit odors into the motorhome. These odors come from food particles decomposing in
the tank. By adding water and using a RV approved deodorizing agent the contents will
dissolve faster and will keep the drain lines and tanks clean and free flowing. Chemicals are
available at an RV supply store.
Most states and parks have strict laws and regulations to prohibit dumping of wastes of any
kind into anything other than proper disposal facilities or sewer systems. Almost all
privately owned parks have either a central pump facility or offer a campsite hookup of
sewage. You can find lists of many dump facilities throughout the United States in
Woodall’s, Rand McNally Camp Guide, Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA Kampgrounds
Camp Guide, and various other publications. Some fuel stations also have dump stations.

 MAINTAINING YOUR INVESTMENT...

MAINTENANCE
Your motorhome is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However, maintenance
is important to retain its condition as near new as possible and preserve the warranty. The
information in the following pages is supplied to provide guidance for your maintenance
routine. Many of the component part manufacturers supply information for their
equipment. Refer to all instructions supplied with your motorhome when performing
maintenance. Proper maintenance will give you many trouble free miles.

. NOTE: Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your motorhome.
. NOTE: Failure to properly maintain your motorhome can cause numerous
problems and it voids Jayco’s warranty as well as the warranties of many of the
component part manufacturers.
Caution: We recommend that you do not take your recreation vehicle through
automatic car washes. Extreme caution should be used if utilizing any type of
pressure sprayer around all attachments, doors, windows, appliance vents, etc.
Avoid forcing water inside the unit, which could possibly damage component parts.
EXTERIOR
Fiberglass Sidewalls
Fiberglass walls are very durable and easy to maintain. To keep them looking nice, wax and
buff them once a year. Standard automotive cleaning soaps and waxes work well for
general cleaning and maintenance. In addition, do not dry wipe surface. Special cleaners
and waxes are available at automotive and RV stores.
Scratches, chips and other cosmetic cracks can be easily fixed by an experienced fiberglass
repair shop. Any major damage should be repaired as soon as possible to keep cracks from
spreading.
Rubber Roof
CAUTION: All roofs require routine maintenance. At least once per year, inspect
and reseal all seams: front and rear, around all vents, and along all moldings.
Failure to properly maintain the unit’s seals may cause leaks and it voids the
warranty.
The rubber roof on your motorhome is manufactured by Alpha Systems. They have
supplied instructions with your motorhome to take care of your roof. Make sure you read
and follow these instructions when working on your roof. If you have questions, consult
with your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website at
www.alphasystemsinc.com.
Roof Ladder
Your motorhome may be equipped with a roof ladder. For units that are purchased with
this option, the roof is built with additional decking for support. If your unit did not come
with this option, do not walk on the roof.

I WARNING: If your unit is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave items
attached to it while traveling. The ladder has a weight limit of 350# when
using it to access the top of the unit. Do not exceed this limit.
59
Maintaining Your Investment...
Sealing
All corners or flat trim have putty
tape sealer between the trim and
aluminum skin. This sealant can be
damaged by U.V. exposure, air
pollution, freezing temperatures
and other exposure to weather
elements. At least two times each
year, inspect all seams. Refer to
Fig. 28 for points to inspect. Check
the sealant for voids, lifting, peeling
or cracking. Reseal as necessary
and at least one time each year as
preventative maintenance. If you
notice any deterioration in the seal,
scrape off cracked or loose sealant
and then reseal the area. Consult

CHASSIS
Instructions and safety precautions you need to follow for the drive train and automotive
chassis are included in the manual supplied by the chassis manufacturer.
A frame extension may have been added to your motorhome chassis. You may wish to
have an undercoating material applied to the frame extension to protect your investment
from the effects of road grime, salts, and other corrosive materials. Contact your chassis
manufacturer before applying undercoating to the chassis frame. Frames will rust much
sooner in salt exposed areas than in dry air. Also, frames will receive heavy abuse from
roads, such as sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, all of which will cause chipping and a
blasting effect on the painted surface. For these reasons it is necessary to inspect, clean and
repaint the steel members to prevent excessive rust and insure a longer life of the frame on a
routine basis.

I WARNING: DO NOT exceed the maximum load capacities of 100 lbs. for
the hoist. DO NOT use air driven guns or impact wrenches to lift the tire
into the travel position.

FRONT AXLE ALIGNMENT

The term alignment refers to both the adjustment angles on the steering axle and
suspension and tracking of the rear axle. Many factors are considered when establishing
proper alignment. Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings and even proper
loading will affect your motorhome alignment. To ensure accuracy, your motorhome
alignment was verified at our manufacturing facility before shipment to your independent,
authorized dealer.
Jayco recommends that you have the front suspension and steering alignment checked and
adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle. In addition, you should read, understand
and follow any instructions from the chassis manufacturer, including anything discussed in
documents provided by the chassis manufacturer. As part of normal maintenance, it is your
responsibility to have the alignment inspected periodically to maintain vehicle steering
performance and prevent uneven tire wear. Always have the alignment checked and
adjusted by a qualified shop with the proper equipment to handle heavy vehicles.

. NOTE: A road test by the independent, authorized dealer should be included as

part of the pre-delivery inspection. The independent, authorized dealer can then
arrange to have any steering problems corrected before you take delivery of the
motorhome. After this road test has been completed, front-end alignment and/or
vibrations will not be covered as part of the new vehicle limited warranty.

Maintaining Your Investment...
WHEEL LINERS
Your motorhome may be equipped with Versa-Liner® Wheel Liners. Information on the
function of these liners is supplied with your unit by the wheel liner manufacturer. If you
have further questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the
manufacturer’s website at www.dicor.com.

CLEARANCE LIGHTS
Inspect all exterior lights to make sure they do not have moisture trapped inside. The
“weep” holes at the bottom of the lights must be kept open to allow moisture to escape from
the light fixture.

DOORS, EXTRUSIONS, WINDOWS & VENTS

These components have putty tape between the component and the wall surface. Portions
of these items may have a cap seal added as a secondary seal. Inspect these seals at least
once per year. Both putty tape and cap seals can become damaged by U.V. exposure, air
pollution, freezing temperatures and exposure to the elements. Therefore, they need to be
resealed from time to time.
Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual lubrication.
Silicone lubricant is recommended. Conditions such as rain, salt,
dust and pollution may increase the maintenance needs.
Inspect and seal the door frame threshold corners one time each
year. Refer to Fig. 31 which indicates the referenced location.

Entrance Door Fig. 31

The entrance door installed in your vehicle is the result of years of design and testing to
provide you, the homeowner, with the most carefree and functional product available.
To keep your door operating in the manner, in which it was designed and delivered to you,
there is some routine maintenance items that should be handled on a regular basis.
• Strike Plate Adjustment - The door in your motorhome was installed and adjusted
in a factory setting and the setting of the striker plate may change over the course of
time and road conditions. Therefore, the setting may need to be changed or adjusted
to insure that your door operates as smoothly and efficiently as it should. To adjust
the strike plate, loosen the two screws holding the strike plate to the jamb system.
Move the plate in or out as needed to obtain a proper seal and closing force and
retighten the screws. To adjust the strike bolt in the rotary lock, loosen the bolt with
a 5/8” socket or box end wrench, move the bolt in the direction needed and retighen
the bolt to 35 foot pounds of torque. The door in your motorhome operates much like
an automobile door and must be closed firmly. The door will not be fully closed until
the secondary lock is engaged.
Caution: If you loosen the screws too far the backer plate will release and drop
down into the doorjamb. Should this happen, replace the short screws with a screw
that is long enough to go through the jamb system and into the framework of the
sidewall.
• Locks - The key cylinder in your locks need to be lubricated on an annual basis and
as needed. Always use powdered graphite never a petroleum product. The
petroleum product will gum up the cylinder and cause it to not operate smoothly.
62
 Maintaining Your Investment...
Apply a light coating of white lithium grease to the face of the lock bolt to obtain a
smooth closing.
• Hinges - The hinges on your door should be lubricated annually and as needed with a
high quality spray lubricant.
• Fiberglass Skin - To maintain good appearance and long service life, Philips door
skin panels should be washed and cleaned periodically. Cleaning removes the
accumulation of dust and dirt that can combine with sunlight and wind to attack
exposed surfaces both chemically and abrasively.
• Cleaning:
= General Cleaning - A 10% solution of trisodium phosphate in warm water (not to
exceed 120°F), may be applied in a scrubbing motion, using sponge, brush, or
cloth. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
= Removing Oil Residues or Difficult Substances - Mineral spirits, applied with a
clean cloth, will aid in removing most oily residues or substances.
= Removing Hard Water Deposits - A 10% solution of acetic acid in cold water may
be used in the manner described in General Cleaning above. Rinse thoroughly after
cleaning.
= Waxing, though not mandatory, will help maintain the appearance and service life
of the door. If waxing, use a high quality, non-abrasive automotive or recreation
vehicle wax.

. NOTE: Use only non-corrosive cleaning compounds. Avoid the use of compounds
containing ammonia or chlorine since they may cause the panels to yellow. Do not
use rubbing compounds, as they will etch and damage the panel surface.

LP GAS SYSTEM
Your LP gas system is designed to function properly with regular maintenance and
inspection. Make sure that you regularly check for any gas leaks as outlined in the safety
information in this manual, as well as any appliance manufacturer’s supplied information.
It is recommended that you have your system inspected at least annually by a qualified
independent, authorized dealer or LP gas supplier.

I DANGER: DO NOT smoke while changing bottles or working on your LP

gas system. See the use, danger and warning instructions throughout this
manual for the LP gas system.

FURNACE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance and safety checks should be performed by a qualified technician at
least once a year, or more, depending on the use of the furnace. Failure to properly maintain
the furnace may void the furnace warranty and can result in unsafe furnace operation.
Preventive maintenance is NOT covered under the warranty. Power should be
disconnected before servicing. Refer to the manufacturer’s supplied instructions for
information regarding the furnace and its maintenance.

. NOTE: To increase motor life, the furnace should be wired directly to the battery.

63
Maintaining Your Investment...
AIR CONDITIONER
Consult the manufacturer’s information supplied with your and/or your independent,
authorized dealer for maintenance information on the air conditioning unit. Information is
also available at www.rvcomfort.com/rv_products.htm.
A special foam gasket is placed between the roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
An air conditioner is subjected to wind pressures along with motor vibration during normal
operation. Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Tighten bolts when they are loose. DO NOT overtighten these
bolts as it may damage the gasket.
To gain access to the bolts, remove the filtered panel cover on central air systems or the
entire air box on non-central air conditioners.

BATTERY
Maintenance is required on all batteries for maximum performance. Failure to properly
maintain the batteries voids Jayco’s limited, express warranty and the warranty of many
component part manufacturers.
1. Keep all terminals clean and tight.
2. Keep the battery filled with water. Cells low on water cannot hold a full charge. A
battery used in daily operation will consume water.
3. The charging system must be in good operating condition to maintain your battery.
4. Keep the battery mounted securely. Vibration may cause pre-mature battery failure.
5. Check the outside condition of the battery. Look for cracks in the case or the vent
plugs. Replace a leaking battery as soon as possible.

ABS PLASTICS
ABS plastic components such as shower wall and the tub will retain their original beauty
with reasonable care.
For Cleaning:
1. Dust and wipe clean with soft, damp cloth or chamois, wiping gently.
2. Wax or polish with Simoniz,® Aero-Wax,® or Glo-Coat® using flannel or jersey
cloth. After polishing, wipe gently with damp cloth to ground electrostatic charges
which may attract dust particles.
Do NOT use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Caution: Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable cleaners which contain
“D-Limonene.” They will damage plastic materials.

BATHROOM TUB, LAVATORY SINK

The bath tub in your motorhome is made of ABS plastic material. DO NOT use abrasive
type cleaners, as they may scratch surfaces. Use a mild detergent soap and warm water to
clean the tub surface. These cleaning instructions are similar to those recommended for
fiberglass tubs and walls. For any type of repair work, see your independent, authorized
dealer.
HARDWARE AND SINK OR SHOWER FIXTURES
Use mild dish soap and water to clean these fixtures. Never use harsh chemicals or sprays.
A mild solution of vinegar and water works well to remove hard water spots and stains
from the sink or shower fixtures.
TOILET
The care and maintenance of your toilet should be performed according to the instructions
supplied by the toilet manufacturer. If you have further questions, consult with your
independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website at
www.thetford.com.

FURNITURE
Cloth Furniture
Vacuum occasionally to remove dirt, dust and pet hair. Have steam cleaned when
necessary. Test fabric in an inconspicuous location before using any spot cleaners.
Synthetic Leather
Wipe with a soft damp cloth for most dirt and spills, air dry. If needed, use a small amount
of a mild liquid detergent. For oil or grease stains, spray immediately with an all-purpose
spray cleaner or Tannery Car Care Cleaner. Take care not to smear beyond the original
stain. Rinse with clean water, air dry.
To Operate Sofa/Recliner Footrest:
1. Make sure cushion is clear of the footrest opening.
2. Place heels over the edge of the footrest and pull towards you to release the safety
lock.
3. Push down – do not force.
65
Maintaining Your Investment...
CUSHIONS
Caution: Do not dry clean vinyl components. Do not remove covers for dry cleaning.
If the cushions are dry cleaned, the vinyl on the reverse side of the cushion will shrink,
become hard and crack. Vacuum the fabric and wipe the vinyl surfaces. The fabric can be
gently steam cleaned on the cushions or mats if necessary.
All dinette and bed mat covers are treated with stain protector. Vacuum the cover with a
brush attachment periodically to remove dirt.

BEDSPREAD
Dry clean only.

WINDOW TREATMENTS
The window treatments of your recreation vehicle may include mini blinds, pleated shades,
and/or drapes. Refer to the following guidelines for cleaning.
Window Treatment Light Cleaning Extensive Cleaning
May be removed and washed with a
Mini Blinds Dust or Vacuum
mild detergent and warm water.
Pleated Shades and/or A professional dry cleaning service is

Privacy or Cab Area Draperies Vacuum Dry Clean

I CAUTION: To prevent scorching of the window shades, do not use the

swivel arm lamps located adjacent to the slideout if one of the lampshades
is broken or missing. Remove the light bulb and contact a qualified service
center for repairs or replacement.

PANELING
The wall paneling in your motorhome is a vinyl covered wood panel. If deep scratches
occur, putty sticks can be used to cover them. These can be obtained from hardware stores
and lumber yards. For decor paneling, replacement vinyl covering can be purchased for
repairs if needed. Your independent, authorized dealer’s parts department can assist you
with this.
To clean, use a mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a soft sponge or cloth. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners. It could cause the vinyl to scratch and turn dull. Grease spots
and stubborn dirt can be cleaned off with an all-purpose spray cleaner. Harsh cleaners and
organic solvents can attack the printed vinyl and, therefore, are not recommended.

VINYL FLOOR
To care for the vinyl floor covering, use a damp mop with water and a mild cleaner. DO
NOT SOAK FLOORING. Use care to avoid wetting carpet edges.
Caution: To avoid problems of “yellowing” linoleum, the manufacturer
recommends to avoid using cleaners that contain oil based solvents (i.e. cleaners
containing lemon oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, etc.).

66
 Maintaining Your Investment...
CARPETING
Because of the additional dirt typically associated with camping, we recommend that you
vacuum the carpet frequently. Professional steam cleaning for tough and deep stains is
recommended. Use spot removers for minor spills. Always test carpet for color fastness in
an inconspicuous area before using any product.

. NOTE: Avoid chemical cleaners. Do not permit cleaners to touch carpet or fabrics.
COUNTERTOPS

High Pressure Laminate

Glass rings, food spills, water spots and smudges usually wipe off with a damp sponge.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a general purpose spray cleaner. Some stains can be
removed by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the stain and allowing the juice to soak for
approximately forty-five minutes. After forty-five minutes, sprinkle baking soda over the
lemon juice and rub with a soft cloth.

SLIDEOUT
Your slideout system has been designed to require very little maintenance. To ensure a long
life of your slideout system, read and follow these simple instructions.

I CAUTION: Do not work on your system unless the battery is

disconnected.
• When the slideout is extended, visually inspect the inner slide rail assemblies. Check
for excess build-up of dirt or other foreign material; remove any debris that may be
present.
• If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive
shaft and roller areas. Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
• On motorhomes with a flush floor slideout, a light coat of silicone spray is
recommended one time per year. To apply the spray, lift the carpet flap. Using a light
coat of spray, make one pass all along the glide bar. It is recommended that this be
done prior to each camping season.
Caution: Use only a silicone spray to lubricate the glide bar. Other lubricants may
attract dirt and oils which will stain the carpet.
• If you have any problems or questions consult your independent, authorized dealer or
call Power Gear at 1-800-334-4712.

Troubleshooting Electric Slideout

If the slideout does not move when the slideout switch is depressed, follow these steps.
• Check the battery for a full charge and good wire connections.
• Check for loose connections at the slideout motor.
If the slideout still will not operate, follow these steps.
• If the slideout is extended, see the section on overriding the electric slideout system.

67
Maintaining Your Investment...
• If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that position. Install the “travel bars” and “tie
down strap” (if applicable)
• Take the motorhome to a independent, authorized dealer or service center.
If the slideout extends crooked, or only one side moves, follow these steps.
• Follow steps on overriding the slideout system to disconnect the motor according to
directions which apply to your motorhome.
• You may need to push the side that is not sliding to get it to retract all the way.
• Once the slideout is fully retracted, install the “travel bars” and “tie down strap” (if
applicable).
• Take your motorhome to a independent, authorized dealer or service center.

Overriding the Electric Slideout System

If the system will not move when the switch is pressed, check the following:
• Is the battery connected and does it have a full charge?
• Are the travel bars and tie down strap (if applicable) removed question
After checking the above, follow these steps to move the slideout manually:
1. Rotate the lever on the back side of the motor counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn (Fig.
32). This will release the brake that locks the slideout in place.
2. Access the manual override. For some models it is located in front of the slideout rail
assembly and for other models, it will be found behind the drivers seat.
= For models with the override in front of the slideout rail assembly, using a 3/4" or
1/2" drive rachet with a 3/4" socket, crank the slideout until it is fully retracted (or
extended).
= For models with the override behind the drivers seat, using a 3/4” drive rachet with
a 1-1/8” socket, crank the slideout until it is fully retracted (or extended).
3. When the slideout is fully retracted (or extended), apply pressure to the ratchet handle
and return the brake release lever on the motor to its normal downward position (Fig.
32). This will ensure that the slideout is locked in a sealed position.
4. Install the travel bars and tie down strap (if applicable) and take the unit to a
independent, authorized dealer for service.

 STORING YOUR UNIT...
Depending upon your area and where your unit is stored, your camper may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect your camper, never leave food inside the unit
and ensure that all surfaces are clean. You may want to place rodent control products in the
unit during periods of storage. Mice and other rodents can do a tremendous amount of
damage to drapes, cushions, etc. particularly during the winter months. Storing units in
fields make them particularly inviting to rodents. Periodically inspect your unit during
storage and seal off any areas which can offer an entry point to rodents or insects. Please
remember to remove any screens or tape you have used to seal openings before you use the
camper again. Special interest publications, such as articles and books offered through TL
Enterprises (Trailer Life, Motorhome, etc.) can offer additional and practical advice on the
proper storage of your camper. Damage from rodents or insects is not covered under your
Jayco Limited Warranty.

. CAUTION: When storing your motorhome, it is recommended that the battery be

unhooked to avoid draining the battery.

WINTERIZING
Preparing your recreation vehicle for winter is very important for most states and Canada.
Failure to prepare the coach will cause the supply lines and the water heater to freeze
causing breakage. Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of your Jayco
Limited Warranty.
Please keep in mind that your towable RV was not designed for use during sub-freezing
weather.
There is no commodity or product that can be added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection while the system is in use, other than RV antifreeze. Do not drink water
that contains antifreeze. This includes non-toxic RV antifreeze.

I WARNING: Do not use Ethylene Glycol (automotive antifreeze) or

Methanol (windshield washer antifreeze) in your fresh water system. They
are harmful to the water system and may be fatal if swallowed.
There are two methods of winterizing your motorhome based upon the model of your unit.
Please read, understand and follow all instructions before beginning.

Air Pressure (all models)

This method will utilize an air hose to blow excess water from the water lines.
1. Make sure all holding tanks are empty.
2. Run the pump until it is dry, this will take approximately 15-20 seconds.
3. Make sure that the five (5) valves in the utility center are set up in the
antifreeze/sanitize configuration.
4. Using an air hose and adapter, blow air through the city water connection.
5. Leave the faucets, drains and toilets open. Any remaining water will blow out in five
to ten minutes.
6. Pour one cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze into all drain P-traps.

73
Storing Your Unit...

Utility Center with Antifreeze

1. Drain the water tank and water heater completely by opening all faucets and low
point drains until the tank and water heater are empty. Make sure all holding tanks are
empty.
2. Position the “Control Valves” on the “Utility Panel” to the “Antifreeze/Sanitize
Lines” configuration. The low point drains located directly below the utility center
must be closed for the antifreeze to siphon through the lines.
3. Attach the intake hose to the “City Water Connection.”

I WARNING: Do not use Ethylene Glycol (automobile antifreeze) or

methanol (windshield washer fluid) in your fresh water system. They are
harmful and can be fatal if swallowed.
4. Put the free end of the hose into a jug of Non-Toxic RV Antifreese. You will need
more than one gallon of antifreeze.
5. Turn the “Water Pump Switch” to the “ON” position and open each faucet until the
antifreeze flows through. Do not forget to run the antifreeze through the toilet.
6. Pour at least one cup of antifreeze into each drain to protect the p-traps.
7. Before using the water system again, open the valves A, B, and C, then thoroughly
sanitize and flush the whole system. (See instructions under “Sanitizing – Units with
Utility Centers.)

BATTERY
Preparation of battery(ies) for winter storage must be carefully considered, especially the
auxiliary battery. Component parts attached to a battery will discharge it in one to three
months. Discharged batteries are subject to freezing, breaking and permanent damage. If
you are storing your motorhome for an extended period, it is important to charge the
battery(ies) every thirty days to maintain a charged condition at 1.265 specific gravity.
Disconnect and/or remove the battery to prevent minor amp draw. If removed, store the
battery in a cool, dry place and maintain the charge. The positive cable must be protected
from contacting metal surfaces.

I WARNING: If you replace or unhook your battery, ensure that the wires
are connected properly whenever it is hooked up: Positive-Black;
Negative-White.

74
 Storing Your Unit...
Prior to Storage

. NOTE: If storing for the winter, be sure all winterizing steps are followed. Refer to
winterizing section.

0 Drain and flush all holding tanks; fresh water, gray water, black water and hot water
tanks.
0 Drain all water lines.
0 Close the LP gas tank valve(s). If your tanks do not already have a cover, purchase at
least a vinyl LP tank cover. Make sure the regulator is covered.
0 Disconnect 120-volt electric power to the RV.
0 Remove all batteries from the RV and store in a place where they won’t freeze.
Batteries that have been frozen will never hold a proper charge.
0 Check your roof and other surfaces to ensure there is no damage and potential leakage
that might otherwise go unnoticed until it is too late.
0 Inspect and reseal, as necessary, all sealant and putty tape. Refer to information earlier
in this chapter.
0 Turn off 12-volt/120-volt/LP gas to the refrigerator; defrost and clean. Use crumpled
newspaper or open boxes of baking soda in the refrigerator to eliminate odors during
storage.
0 Remove all perishable items from the interior. Include in this any items that are
susceptible to freezing, if storing during the winter months.
0 Cover all external outlets, such as furnace, exhaust, etc. to prevent “critters” from
entering.
0 Thoroughly wash the interior and the exterior of your RV.
0 Close all windows and roof vents.
0 Cover tires that are exposed to sunlight to prevent weather checking and other UV
damage.
0 Cover the roof air conditioner.
0 Store your RV indoors, under a roof or consider the purchase of a tarp to cover your
RV during storage. Make sure you invest in a good tarp that can “breathe.
0 Turn all cushions on edge to prevent the entrapment of moisture/mildew during long
term storage.
0 Do not use hydraulic leveling jacks during storage.
During Storage Period
0 Remove snow loads from the top of your RV to prevent damage to the unit’s structure.

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Jayco and most individuals who purchase RVs manufactured by Jayco agree to resolve any
disputes they may have with one another through binding arbitration, rather than court
proceedings. Each individual who purchases an RV manufactured by Jayco has the option
of signing a document at or near the time of sale that contains the language set forth below.
The consumer’s signature binds Jayco and the consumer to resolve any potential disputes
by binding arbitration. If you have questions regarding this, please contact Jayco or
American Arbitration Association at the numbers below.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT
I am entitled to receive a copy of this Agreement, and I may review it with my attorney before
signing. I and anyone making claims on my behalf, or through me, shall submit any and all
claims I may have in connection with my recreational vehicle (RV) against any retail dealer,
manufacturer, or supplier of component parts, to binding arbitration under the federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-14, to the extent permissible under federal law. I agree that if I
have a claim relating to my RV, I will allow the dealer and Jayco to inspect it and make
necessary repairs. If my claim is not then satisfied, I will notify Jayco and binding arbitration
proceedings will be held after I have paid an initial fee of $125 to the American Arbitration
Association and I cannot pursue my claim in court or in any administrative proceeding.
Arbitration will be administrated by the America Arbitration Association (AAA), pursuant to its
Commercial Arbitration Rules, unless and until Jayco designates a different administrator, in
which event a notice will be mailed to your last known address. If my claim is less than $10,000,
Jayco will pay the initiation fee and arbitrator’s fees in excess of $125, and the arbitrator shall
not award damages in excess of $10,000. If my claim exceeds that amount or is not specified, I
will pay one-half of the fees and costs in excess of $125. I, the dealer, and Jayco will each pay
their own costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration hearing. The claim will be
heard by a single arbitrator, and will be held thirty (30) days after the claim is filed, unless all
parties agree to a later date. The arbitrator shall be selected from a panel named by the AAA,
pursuant to its rules. The arbitrator shall be permitted only to award actual damages for
financial loss, and shall not award damages for personal injury (or mental anguish, or other
intangible claims), or punitive damages. Statutes of limitation, which would apply to a court
proceeding for my claim, will apply to commencement of arbitration proceedings. If I default on
any obligation to a lender in connection with my RV, my lender may exercise all of its rights
without regard to this agreement. If I file a claim in court without having first complied with this
agreement, I will be required to pay all fees, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, for
dismissal or referral to arbitration. This agreement will apply to me, my heirs and assigns, and
anyone who purchases or leases my RV from me or operates or occupies it with my permission
or without objection by me. Nothing in this agreement enlarges my rights or gives me any rights
or claims I would not otherwise have. FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO FILE A CLAIM
OR ABOUT THE ARBITRATION PROGRAM, CALL JAYCO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT
574-825-0608, OR THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AT 800-778-7879.

and camping, that all parts manufactured by Jayco, and for three (3) years on the its structural integrity, are free from sub-
stantial defects in material and workmanship. This warranty begins on the date the vehicle is sold to the first retail con-
sumer purchaser or, if the dealer places the vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the vehicle is first placed in

This warranty may be transferred only once during the warranty period, with a proper application and a $100 processing
fee. Contact your dealer or Jayco for details.

terial and manufacturing defects.

ing, mildew, effects of moisture condensation inside the vehicle, or mishandling, neglect, abuse, misuse, lightning
or other acts of nature, or corrosive atmospheres which can result in rusting , oxidation or pitting.
(5) Minor imperfections, which do not affect the suitability of the vehicle for its intended use.
(6) Normal and routine maintenance such as inspections, lubricating, adjustments, tightening of screws, tightening of

sumer’s request to have repairs performed at a location other than an authorized dealership.
(9) Tires, Batteries, Microwave, Television, VCR and DVD players that are supported by other established dealer net-

responsibility of that manufacturer.

JAYCO’S RESPONSIBILITY
Any part of the vehicle subject to warranty, which is found to be defective in material or workmanship, will be repaired or
replaced at Jayco’s option without charge to the customer for parts or labor. While any Jayco dealer can perform the war-
ranty service, we recommend the purchaser return to the selling dealer. If the customer has moved or is touring the United
States or Canada, please contact the nearest Jayco dealer for service or for purchasing parts.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

In the event that a substantial defect in materials or workmanship is found to exist in parts warranted by Jayco, Jayco will
bear the cost of the repair or replacement of such defective materials or workmanship, provided that the owner:
(A) Notifies an authorized Jayco dealer or Jayco of the defect (If you are traveling or have recently moved, locate the
nearest Jayco authorized dealer on the Internet at www.jayco.com.) no later than 10 days after the expiration of the
warranty.
(B) Schedules an appointment and promptly takes the vehicle to the Jayco service center for necessary repairs.
(C) Pays any freight or transportation costs, or import duties or fees involved.
No action to enforce this warranty shall be commenced later than three (3) months after expiration of the warranty period.
NOTE: Jayco does not control the scheduling of service work at dealerships. You
may encounter some delay in scheduling or completion of work.
If the above steps have been taken and the repairs still have not been made, the customer should contact Jayco, at P.O. Box
460, Middlebury, Indiana 46540, Attn: After Market Services.

 Warranty/Service
PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS:
Purchaser shall notify Jayco and deliver this vehicle for warranty service within a reasonable time after discovery of the
defect and in no event later than ten (10) days after expiration of the warranty period. All incidental and consequential ex-
penses incurred by Purchaser in obtaining warranty service shall be borne by Purchaser. No action to enforce this warranty
shall be commenced later than three (3) months after expiration of the warranty period.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to perform the care, maintenance and assure correct load distribution as outlined in the
Jayco owner’s manual. Other, separate manuals outline additional component care and maintenance. Please review all
manuals supplied with your unit, and contact your dealer or the supplier if you have questions. Any damage to the vehicle
as a result of the Purchaser’s failure to perform such care, is not covered by the Jayco warranty.

INSTALLATIONS NOT COVERED

Jayco cannot and does not accept any responsibility in connection with any of its towable products, for additional equip-
ment or accessories installed at any dealership or other place of business, or by any other party other than Jayco, Inc. In-
stallation of equipment or accessories installed by any other party other than Jayco, Inc. will not be covered under the
terms of Jayco’s limited warranty.

PARTS AND DESIGN CHANGES:

Jayco may make parts and design changes from time to time without notice and repair and replacements may be made with
new or different parts. Jayco reserves the right to make changes in the design or material or its products without incurring
any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously manufactured.

DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES:

You and any other user of Jayco products shall not be entitled to any consequential or incidental damages, including
without limitation, loss of use of the unit, inconvenience, lodging, damage to personal property, alternate transporta-
tion, phone calls, meals, lost income or earnings. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have
other rights, which vary from state to state.

DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:

Jayco does not authorize any person to create for it any other obligation or liability in connection with the vehicle. Any
implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose applicable to this vehicle is limited in duration
to the duration of this written warranty. The performance of repairs is the exclusive remedy under this written war-
ranty or any implied warranty. Jayco shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from breach
of this written warranty or any implied warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
will last or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may
not apply to you.

WARRANTY REGISTRATION:
Your warranty registration records should be completed and delivered to the manufacturers of component parts. Your
Jayco Dealer will assist you in filling out the Jayco product warranty registration form, which must be returned to Jayco
within ten (10) days of your taking delivery of your Jayco product. Your Jayco warranty will not be registered unless the
warranty registration is completed and mailed to Jayco. Failure to file this warranty registration can cause you delays in
obtaining the benefits of your Jayco Limited Warranty.

TERMS AND REPRESENTATIONS

By my signature(s) on the face side of this form, and in order to induce Jayco, Inc. to transfer its
Limited Warranty, I represent the following:

1. That I have received and read a copy of the Jayco Limited Warranty and Owner’s Manual.

2. I understand that the unit is to be used only for recreational camping and travel.

3. That all information provided by me on the face side of this form is true and correct.

4. I understand that I am purchasing a pre-owned recreational vehicle and Jayco, Inc. does not
make any representation as to is present condition.

5. I understand and agree that all my claims against Jayco must be arbitrated and that a court
will enforce the arbitration award. The terms of arbitration are set forth below:

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT

I am entitled to receive a copy of this Agreement, and I may review it with my attorney before
signing. I and anyone making claims on my behalf, or through me, shall submit any and all
claims I may have in connection with my recreational vehicle (RV) against any retail dealer,
manufacturer, or supplier of component parts, to binding arbitration under the federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-14, to the extent permissible under federal law. I agree that if I
have a claim relating to my RV, I will allow the dealer and Jayco to inspect it and make
necessary repairs. If my claim is not then satisfied, I will notify Jayco and binding arbitration
proceedings will be held after I have paid an initial fee of $125 to the American Arbitration
Association and I cannot pursue my claim in court or in any administrative proceeding.
Arbitration will be administrated by the America Arbitration Association (AAA), pursuant to its
Commercial Arbitration Rules, unless and until Jayco designates a different administrator, in
which event a notice will be mailed to your last known address. If my claim is less than $10,000,
Jayco will pay the initiation fee and arbitrator’s fees in excess of $125, and the arbitrator shall
not award damages in excess of $10,000. If my claim exceeds that amount or is not specified, I
will pay one-half of the fees and costs in excess of $125. I, the dealer, and Jayco will each pay
their own costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration hearing. The claim will be
heard by a single arbitrator, and will be held thirty (30) days after the claim is filed, unless all
parties agree to a later date. The arbitrator shall be selected from a panel named by the AAA,
pursuant to its rules. The arbitrator shall be permitted only to award actual damages for
financial loss, and shall not award damages for personal injury (or mental anguish, or other
intangible claims), or punitive damages. Statutes of limitation, which would apply to a court
proceeding for my claim, will apply to commencement of arbitration proceedings. If I default on
any obligation to a lender in connection with my RV, my lender may exercise all of its rights
without regard to this agreement. If I file a claim in court without having first complied with this
agreement, I will be required to pay all fees, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, for
dismissal or referral to arbitration. This agreement will apply to me, my heirs and assigns, and
anyone who purchases or leases my RV from me or operates or occupies it with my permission
or without objection by me. Nothing in this agreement enlarges my rights or gives me any rights
or claims I would not otherwise have. FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO FILE A CLAIM
OR ABOUT THE ARBITRATION PROGRAM, CALL JAYCO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT
574-825-0608, OR THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AT 800-778-7879.

We are interested in your satisfaction. Only by having your complete confidence and
satisfaction with our product and its service can we assure our continued success as
manufacturers of recreation vehicles. We have found that continuing a pleasant and
effective relationship through our independent, authorized dealers is equally as important

dealer will cordially assist you in providing service, maintenance, selection of options and
instructions concerning the operation of your vehicle.
If you have a problem with your motorhome that requires service, please follow these
instructions in sequence.

After Market Services
Jayco Incorporated
P.O. Box 460
Middlebury, IN 46540
Email: [email protected]
Business Hours: Monday – Friday 8:00 – 5:00 EST
Give all the above information as requested, along with the serial number of the unit in
question and we will make every attempt to help you resolve your repair needs. It is
important that you contact your selling independent, authorized dealer before Jayco.
In most cases, the independent, authorized dealer can provide the service you require.
If you are traveling and are unable to locate an independent, authorized Jayco dealer, or an
authorized dealer for the component part needing service, contact your selling
independent, authorized dealer for assistance.

. NOTE: Service at a non-authorized Jayco dealer needs prior authorization. You

will be asked to return any mechanical parts replaced before reimbursement
consideration is made. Unauthorized or improper repairs may void Jayco’s
warranty and the warranty on the component part.

Please keep your owner’s manual, your copy of the warranty registration form and
any other related papers in your RV.
Please bear in mind that most problems arise from misunderstandings concerning warranty
coverage and service. In most instances, you will be referred to the independent, authorized
dealer level and your repair needs will be resolved at the independent, authorized dealer’s
facilities.
CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW NOTICE: If you have determined that your
vehicle has nonconformities under the California Lemon Law, you must provide
written notice of the claimed defects directly to Jayco in Middlebury, Indiana at
the address for warranty service, and permit Jayco to perform a final repair
attempt.

 Warranty/Service

Independent, Authorized Dealer

When you purchased your Jayco RV, we trust you had a pleasant experience. We consider
the network of independent, authorized dealers to be some of the best in the RV business.
This group of independent contractors is an integral part of Jayco’s continued success.
Throughout this manual, we will refer you to your independent, authorized dealer for
assistance with certain component parts or procedures. If you are traveling outside your
independent, authorized dealer’s area, you are never far from another independent,
authorized Jayco dealer, with over 300 dealerships in our network.
Your independent, authorized dealer has inspected and serviced your new Jayco RV. The
independent, authorized dealers are available for service and maintenance to your
motorhome. All warranty repairs should be performed by an independent, authorized
dealer unless Jayco gives prior approval.
Some RV dealers may be a service center for manufacturers of products warranted
separately. To reduce delays, contact your independent, authorized dealer for service
available through them. If your independent, authorized dealer is not a service center for
the product in question, they can assist you in finding service.

Parts
Parts are available at dealerships or your independent, authorized dealer can order parts for
you as needed. All retail parts inquiries should be routed through your independent,
authorized dealer.

Owner’s Responsibility
As a new owner of a Jayco recreation vehicle, you are responsible for understanding
how your trailer, and its various component parts, work and need to be maintained.
You are also responsible for the regular and proper maintenance of your RV. This
will help you prevent conditions arising from neglect that are not covered by your
Jayco Limited Warranty.
Maintenance service should be performed in accordance with this owner’s manual and any
other applicable manuals.
As the owner, it is your responsibility and obligation to return the RV to an independent,
authorized dealer for repairs and service. Reference your Jayco Limited Warranty for
additional information. Because the independent, authorized dealer where you purchased
your RV is responsible for its servicing before delivery and has an interest in your
continued satisfaction, we recommend that inspection, warranty and maintenance services
be performed by that independent, authorized dealership.
