Page 42: Tires
The tire designed for the motorhome is a very technical and precisely engineered product. To obtain the maximum wear and best service out of the tires, it is helpful to understand the function of a tire. A tire is a “container” that holds air. It is the combination of air and tire casing that suppor...

Check the tire pressure regularly. If a tire is punctured by a nail or screw, creating a slow leak, it may eventually be spotted if it is a front tire or an out- side rear dual. However, if there is a leak on an inside dual, the chances of spotting it without an air pressure check are very slim. If ...

The motorhome 120/240 volt ac system can be operated from three different power sources. Shore power is the most efficient and should be used whenever possible. The on board generator has a limited amount of 120 volts ac output power. This can be used when shore power is unavailable. The inverter/co...

The inverter can be set-up for stand-by power operation. If for any reason ac input is discontinued to the motorhome, the inverter will automatically provide ac power. When ac power is resumed, the inverter will automati- cally return to “stand-by” mode. The stand-by mode is activated by momen- tari...
