Troubleshooting guide

4. Winter Use and Freeze Precautions:
Please be advised that if you are traveling to an area where there exists a
possibility of freezing temperatures your motorhome must be winterized.
This is due to the fact that most RVs are not designed for use in sub-
freezing climates. We STRONGLY recommend that the unit is kept
winterized until a warmer climate is reached. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in charges for damages.
Please inform our staff if you will be traveling to a climate where freezing
temperatures are likely to occur.
The following steps MUST be followed before traveling to areas with freezing
temperatures:
1. All water must be drained from the fresh water tank and water lines.
2. Water Heater drain plug must be removed. Water heater valves must be
put into bypass mode.
3. You must purchase 4 gallons of RV/Marine Antifreeze. You must use a
non-toxic antifreeze designed for winterizing RV’s and boats. DO NOT
USE REGULAR AUTOMOBILE ANTIFREEZE!!! Pour the antifreeze into
the empty fresh water tank and turn on the water pump. Allow the
antifreeze to replace any remaining water in the system by opening each
valve where water would normally flow. e.g. sink, toilet, shower, etc.
4. When in freezing areas, never let your holding tanks fill more than ½ tank.
Renter will be fully responsible for any and all freezing damage that may
occur to the rental vehicle. If the renter travels to an area where freezing
temperature exist without following the winterization procedures above, El
Monte will assume no liability for any loss of use, or inconvenience,
resulting from a malfunction of the plumbing system.
I. TELEVISION (if so equipped)
1.
Television Hook Up: To get a better signal, you can either hook up to a TV
cable at a campground, or you can use your roof TV antenna. The external cable
hookup is either at the left rear corner of the vehicle, or in a compartment on the
left side. The internal hookup is generally next to the electrical outlet in the TV
area.
