from the main entry door. A hold back mechanism will secure the main door against the side of the
trailer.
IMPORTANT: It is always a good idea to lock the entry door deadbolt before traveling. This will
reduce the possibility of the door opening on the road.
WINDOWS: Windows in your camper are either slider or torque pane type. Slider windows may be
opened by pulling out the latch knob--when the slider window is closed the latch will automatically
lock into place. Torque windows may be opened and adjusted by turning the knob or crank located at
the bottom corner of the window.
EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW: The emergency exit window provides an escape route in case the
camper must be evacuated under emergency conditions. To operate the window, pull the red
handle(s) and push the window out. IMPORTANT: DO NOT BLOCK THE EMERGENCY EXIT
WINDOW.
SECTION TWO
NOTICE TO CAMPERS:
•
Campers, trailers and 5
th
-wheels need adequate ventilation at all times.
•
Make sure that the fresh air vent to the heating system is not blocked. Be careful not to pile
snow over the fresh air vent. Do not seal windows, doors or ventilator openings with tape.
•
If heavy snowfall piles up around vents on roof, the snow should be removed.
•
When using LP Gas appliances provide adequate ventilation. Check burners for proper
combustion. Your attention to these details at all times is the only way to assure the safety of
your family.
•
Never use an unvented LP Gas fired heater for additional heat in the camper.
•
Never try to interchange LP Gas or natural gas in a heater unless the appliance has been
specifically approved or converted for the change by a licensed technician.
•
Always shut off the LP Gas supply while in route and routinely check connections in the line.
•
Always check to make sure that the generator–optional equipment--has adequate ventilation
and that vents and exhaust have not been blocked by snow or other objects.
•
Be sure to have your generator--optional equipment--checked at least once a year to insure
the unit is in proper running order and exhaust system is free of leaks and damage.
SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Tight feeling across the forehead, headache,
chest tightness, nausea, vertigo, and general malaise. Such symptoms are too often ignored or
blamed on the “flu bug.” The nervous system may be so suddenly and completely impaired that there
is no chance to escape. PREVENTION IS THE BEST PLAN.
Be sure your CO Detector is functioning properly anytime a generator is in use.
EMERGENCY LIFESAVING TREATMENT FOR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:
1.
Remove the victim to fresh, but not cold air.
2.
Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped or is difficult.
3.
Contact a physician as soon as possible.
