HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING
Before the beginning of each travel season, the furnace should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected.
Any obstructions, debris, or lint which may obstruct free air flow or impede the operation of the air
circulation system should be removed. For example, accumulated dust or lint could possibly obstruct the
orifices for the pilot light or may accumulate on the blower blades and unbalance the operation of the
blower. Additionally, any debris in the ductwork, when heated by the furnace, could emit unpleasant
odors or possibly become a fire hazard.
The furnace system should be periodically cleaned. Annually is recommended unless the motorhome is
subjected to dust levels significantly greater than average, in which case more frequent cleaning is
recommended. The Owner’s Information Package provides recommended cleaning tips and procedures.
When needed, a more thorough cleaning should be performed by a qualified service technician.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
The factory-installed air-conditioning system is designed for 120 VAC power supplied either from the
external power cord or from the generator. For the best cooling scenarios, park the motorhome in a
shady location whenever possible and close drapes on those windows exposed to direct sunlight.
The air-conditioned, cooled air is emitted through
“chill grill” vents, which are located in the center of the
coach. The return air vents have a filter that prevents
dust from flowing back through the air conditioning
system. The return filters can be easily removed and
cleaned with warm water and a mild cleaning solution.
To remove the filter, simply pull the vent down and lift
the filter from inside the opening.
