EQUIPMENT - INTRODUCTION
This section covers the basic operation and
care of equipment found in the motorhome,
most of which are provided for entertainment
and comfort. More detailed information about
specic equipment may be found in the OEM
manuals. Optional equipment will also be
discussed in this section which may not apply to
all motorhomes.
INFORMATION
Detailed information with CAUTION or
WARNING instructions for the various
electronics, other than what is provided
in this section, can be found in the OEM
manuals.
ENTRY STEP
Operation
The exterior electric entry
step features retractable steps,
automatic retraction with
the ignition key in the RUN
position and a last out feature.
NOTE
When dry camping it is
important to note that
when the switch is illuminated, all step
circuits are active and drawing current
from the chassis battery. Chassis battery
disconnect switch must be on for entry
step to operate.
Operating the Entry Step:
1. With the entry door open, turn the
step switch on. Ensure the chassis
disconnect switch is on.
2. Close the door. The step should retract
and lock in the IN position.
3. Open the door. The step should extend
and lock in the OUT position. The step
will retract when the door is closed.
4. When the switch is turned off, the step
should remain in the extended position.
Close the door and turn on the ignition
switch. The step will retract for travel.
5. With the power switch off, the step
extended, the entry door closed and the
ignition turned on, the ignition override
system will engage to automatically
retract the step.
6. Turn the ignition off and open the door.
The step will extend and lock in the
OUT position. This is the “last out”
feature. When the ignition is on the
step will always activate with door
movement, regardless of the power
switch position.
WARNING
Turning the ignition switch to the ON
position while the motorhome is parked
will cause the entry step to retract.
Visually confirm that the entry step
is fully extended prior to exiting the
motorhome.
CAUTION
High curbs can impede step operation.
Use care when parked on side streets.
If the entry step fails to operate:
Verify that the entry step switch is ON.
Check the main power supply for the step:
a 25 Amp fuse located in the roadside
front electrical panel.


A magnetic door
jam switch is used
to control step
operation. Use a
separate magnet to
apply a “trigger” to
the door jam switch. Rotate test magnet
to align polarity eld.
WARNING
If the motorhome is driven with the
step in the extended position there is the
possibility of causing major damage to
both the step and the motorhome.
CAUTION
Keep fingers, clothing and other
hardware away from moving
components.
NOTE
Clean and inspect step more frequently
in adverse weather conditions. Mud,
snow, road salts and sand could quickly
break down lubricant and corrode
painted surfaces.
NOTE
The steps are self lubricating and
require no maintenance.
Step Cover
An electrically operated stepwell cover will
extend and retract using the switch on the center
console. Power is supplied by a 15 Amp circuit
breaker in the roadside front electrical panel.
