CANADIAN TRAFFIC RULES AND ROAD SIGNS
TRAFFIC RULES
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
Permitted blood alcohol levels are mandated by the Provinces and Territories and will vary. Please do not drive
under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs!
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Traffic lights are suspended across the intersection. Left turn arrows indicate that you can safely turn
left while the oncoming traffic is still stopped at a red light.
After you have come to a complete stop and made sure the intersection is clear of all vehicles, cyclists and
pedestrians, you may turn right despite a red light in the U.S. and Canada except for the island of Montreal in
Québec. Exceptions are often limited to certain times and clearly posted as below.
Example on the left: Turning right is prohibited on a red light.
Example on the right: Turning right is prohibited from Monday to Friday, 7AM - 9AM and
4PM - 6PM (no matter whether there are traffic lights or not).
SEAT BELT
Canadian and U.S. laws require driver and all passengers to be seated with the seat belt fastened when the
vehicle is in motion.
SPEED LIMITS
The Speed limit in most urban areas is 50 km/h, and on highways either 80 or 100 km/h, unless otherwise
posted.
PEDESTRIANS
Canadian drivers are usually very polite and considerate. Pedestrians have the right of way.
DRIVER'S LICENSES
We require your national license for RV rentals. Foreign licenses are generally accepted in Canada. However,
we recommend carrying an international driver's license in addition, unless your original license is issued in
English or French.
GPS SYSTEMS AND HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Your RV's external dimensions and gross vehicle weight (GVW) are shown on a windshield sticker and in the
manual. GPS systems do not provide any information on height restrictions on your planned route. Always
check restriction signs for tunnels, overpasses, gas stations, roof constructions, ferries, etc.! Drive-thrus at fast
food outlets or entry ways to hotels/motels are too low for RV’s!
As a general rule: the minimum clearance must be 3.70 m or 12 ft. for all of our vehicles.
HOV Lane (High Occupancy Vehicle Lane)
HOV lanes are for vehicles with two or more people inside. These lanes may only be used by vehicles
that carry the minimum required number of people. The HOV lane symbol is a diamond,
which is indicated on many HOV signs and above all, on HOV lanes. Example of signs:
Left: HOV lane for buses and vehicles with at least 3 people starts here.
Right: From 5AM to 11PM, this lane is an HOV lane for buses and vehicles with at least 3
people only. During the time from 11PM to 5AM, this lane may also be used by vehicles with fewer people.

Van Conversion
Truck Camper
C-Small
Fraserway RV’s NOT allowed on HOV lanes:
Adventurer 4, Overlander
C-Medium, C-Large, C-XLarge
A-Class
PARKING
Regulations vary from province to province. Parking is only permitted in the driving direction of the traffic lane.
Parking is not permitted within 6 meters on either side of:
-Pedestrian crossings
-Stop signs
-Traffic control signals
-Curves or corners
-Fire hydrants
-Entrance/Exit of hotels, theatres, public meeting places, schools, fire departments, playgrounds
CAUTION:
A yellow curb side marks a no-parking zone.
If your vehicle uses more than one parking spot, you have to pay for the number of spots used!
EMERGENCY VEHICLES
If a police car, fire truck, or ambulance with flashing lights and/or sirens approaches (from ahead or the rear),
pull over to the right and wait until the vehicles have passed.
If you are stopped by a police car, pull over to the right, remain seated, open the window and wait for the
officer to approach. Keep your hands visible on the steering wheel and follow the orders of the officer.
STOP SIGNS
You must always come to a complete stop at the stop line. The driver that arrived at a 4-
way stop first has the right-of-way. When two cars arrive at the same time, yield to the
car on your right-hand side. The same rule applies if traffic lights are not working.
Canadians are usually disciplined and courteous. Only one car at a time can cross the intersection.
TOLL BRIDGES
If you are aware that you have crossed a toll bridge on your journey, please inform us upon return of the RV to
avoid additional administrative charges. Fraserway RV will be billed directly by the company responsible for
collecting the toll fee. Some crossings will require direct payment on the spot. Please use the truck lane to
avoid any height restriction issues.
ACCIDENTS
Most accidents happen while parking the RV. This damage can be easily avoided if a passenger gets out of the
vehicle to help the driver manoeuvering by giving directions.
Never settle or admit any wrong-doing at the accident scene! If needed, call the Police. If possible, make notes,
take pictures, and exchange information with the other party.
Always call our OnRoad-Service and fill in the accident report, which you will find in the "Emergency" section of
the instruction manual. The police will not attend to minor accidents without personal injury.
SCHOOL BUSES Canadian school buses are yellow. They signal to stop all traffic (no passing!) using
flashing red lights and/or a swing-out stop sign. It is against the law to pass a stopped
school bus. All traffic must come to a halt to ensure children can get on and off the bus
safely. Once the signals have been turned off and/or the stop sign has been pulled, the
traffic can move again in both directions. Failure to obey this traffic rule is a serious
offence. Only if the road is separated by a median can the oncoming traffic slowly proceed without stopping.

CABIN
All vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The V8 engine
displacement is 6.7 litres and an output of up to 330 hp.
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch has 5 different key positions:
POSITION A (ACCESSORY) enables use of the vehicle's electrical system (radio etc.) without
the engine running or the ignition being turned on.
POSITION B (LOCK) turns off the engine and locks the steering wheel in place. Please note that removing the
key is only possible when the switch is in this position.
POSITION C (OFF) turns off the engine and the entire electrical system without locking the steering wheel. The
key cannot be removed in this position!
POSITION D (ON): all circuits are active and the warning lights are on. This is the position the
key is in while the engine is running.
POSITION E (START) cranks the engine. Please release the key as soon as the engine starts.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The gear selector is on the right-hand side of the steering column. The shift lever must be pulled towards the
steering wheel to move from one gear selection to another. Your right foot must be depressing the brake pedal
to shift from P (park) to R (reverse) or D (drive). The gear selector has the following positions:
P
PARK
to start or turn off the engine. The key can only be removed while in this position.
R
REVERSE
to reverse the vehicle. The rear view camera is activated automatically.
N
NEUTRAL
select this position for towing only!
D
DRIVE
most efficient position for all normal driving conditions.
M
MANUAL
to choose the gears manually. We DO NOT recommend use of this option!
DIESEL ENGINE BRAKE
The diesel engine brake can be used together with the Tow/Haul function. When activated,
braking assistance from the engine is boosted providing enhanced handling and control, and
reduced brake and transmission wear while going downhill. Press the button on the dashboard
(to the right of the steering wheel, below 4WD) to switch the function ON or OFF.
TOW/HAUL
The Tow/Haul function optimizes the shifting performance and reduces the potential for
transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting when driving in mountainous
areas. This provides extra power when going uphill and braking assistance from the engine
when going downhill to reduce the risk of overheating the vehicle’s brakes. Select this
function by pressing the button at the end of the shift lever.
CRUISE CONTROL
The RV is equipped with Cruise Control. The minimum speed required for its use is 50 km/h. We do
recommend not using the cruise control on mountain roads because it would cause irregular shifting and
accelerating resulting in excess transmission wear and increased fuel consumption.

Page | 6
PROGRAMMING
1. Turn cruise control on using the ON button.
2. Accelerate by pressing SET + until reaching the desired speed. Release the button
and the speed will be maintained. Alternatively, the foot pedal can be used to
increase speed, then briefly press the SET + button to maintain speed automatically.
3. Speed can be reduced by pressing SET -.
4. After each time the brake pedal is depressed, the vehicle will lose speed. Press RES
and the vehicle’s speed will automatically resume to its previously set level.
5. Press CANCEL to pause the cruise control.
6. Press OFF button to turn off the cruise control.

BOARD COMPUTER
Our trucks are equipped with an
information display for drivers to monitor
vehicle systems, receive alerts, and
program and configure certain vehicle
features. Use the steering wheel controls
to cross, make selections and adjustments
that will appear in the information display
within the instrument cluster. Use the left-hand controls on the steering wheel to scroll through and make
selections from within your information display.
Gauge Mode
displays features such as transmission temperature and compass data. Diesel-specific
information includes engine oil temperature and exhaust filter information.
Trip A and B
includes trip distance, trip time, fuel used and average fuel economy.
Fuel economy
also provides instant fuel economy, fuel history in select increments and saves your last five
resets.
Truck apps
includes details about trailer features and should be ignored.
Settings
menu delivers a variety of features such as Driver Assist, vehicle, language, units and more.
Information
menu contains more technical information about the unit which is mainly used for technical
inspection. Please do not make any changes in here.
DEFAULT ALARM SETTING
When turning off the engine, an alarm setting message will appear on the dash board. ALWAYS set to
“perimeter sensing”; otherwise the alarm may sound simply from vibrations or by a person moving inside the
vehicle. Unfortunately, the setting defaults back to all sensors upon restart, therefore this setting needs to be
changed each time the engine is turned off.
AUTOMATIC STEP
The RV is equipped with an automatic electric step ①. The power
switch ② is located on the wall just inside the camper door.
When it is switched ON, the step will automatically extend when
the door is opened and retract when the door is closed. To keep
the step extended while camping, set the power switch into the
OFF position with the steps out.
Use the directional arrows to switch between
“All Sensors” and “Perimeter Sensing”.

VEHICLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DIESEL FUEL
This vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine and requires ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
(D1/D2). Please use big-brand stations for refuelling, such as Esso, Shell, Chevron, Husky,
Petro Canada, Irving, etc. The fuel available at independent stations is often of a lower
quality which can cause problems by clogging fuel pumps, etc., resulting in trip disruption
and expensive repairs.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID/DEF
To reduce the diesel exhaust emissions, the vehicle is equipped with a diesel catalytic converter which uses
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), known in Europe as "AdBlue". This converter automatically injects the DEF into the
exhaust system. The DEF tank will be topped up prior to the rental. Some driving styles and environmental
conditions (e.g. frequent accelerating, smoky air) may demand more frequent re-fills than others.
A warning lamp on the dashboard will illuminate when the DEF range drops below 500 kms. In some vehicles,
only the remaining kilometres is indicated while other vehicles have a DEF gauge similar to a fuel gauge (see
picture). When the DEF tank is low, refill it as soon as possible. DEF fluid can be purchased at many gas
stations, auto repair shops (e.g. Napa), or at Ford dealers.
DEF TANK Refill DEF very slowly and completely; otherwise, the board computer will not be
reset and when the remaining kilometre reading has reached 0 the vehicle will go
into the speed restriction mode and finally into the idle mode.
Approximate filling capacity: up to 6 gallons / 22.7 litres
The warning light remains on for a brief period after the refill, but after driving 50
kms or sooner the board computer will readjust.
CAUTION:
Do not start the vehicle under any circumstances if DEF was erroneously filled into the diesel tank.
If started, the engine would suffer significant damage, which is not covered by your insurance.
Diesel in the DEF tank, as a result of using the incorrect tank inlet, does not damage the engine or
catalytic converter but causes heavy smoke in the exhaust fumes.
ENGINE OIL
The engine oil level must be checked every 1500 kms. The engine should be cold when its oil level is checked.
ONLY SAE 5W-40 OIL can be used for topping up Diesel engines. Please keep receipts for oil that is purchased
for reimbursement upon return of the vehicle. Thank you for your care and attention.
CAUTION:
The renter is liable for ALL damage resulting from use of improper fuel, oil, or other engine fluids.
If you have any questions, please call our OnRoad-Service.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES
We change the oil of our Diesel vehicles every 15,000 kms according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
The oil change light may illuminate earlier as it is programmed to a different schedule. The odometer reading
of the last oil change is indicated on a sticker on the windshield. If the window sticker indicates that an oil
change is due, please call our OnRoad-Service for direction to an authorized auto repair shop. Please keep
receipts for all oil purchases and present them for reimbursement upon return of the vehicle.

TIRES
TIRE PRESSURE - TIRE CHECK
Please check tire pressures regularly. The tires should be cold when the pressure is checked!
Tire pressure (cold): 95 PSI (front) –110 PSI (rear)*
*The recommended tire pressure is also indicated on the tires and/or on a sticker inside the driver-side door
frame. The wheel nuts should be visually checked every time you leave a campground.
CHANGING THE TIRES
Tires should only be changed by authorized personnel of the FORD Road-Side Assistance program or of KalTire
24-Hour Service. Please contact our OnRoad-Service whenever a tire change is required. These numbers are
listed in the "Emergency" appendix. Please only attempt to change a wheel if there is no way to contact us for
assistance. Changing a wheel is at your own risk. The wheel nuts of the changed wheel must be checked after
100 kms or sooner and retightened if necessary. Failure to do so could cause serious accidents.
CAUTION:
The renter is liable for damage resulting from improper tire change or non-preformed checks.
STORAGE LOCATION FOR TIRE CHANGE TOOLS
The jack and tools are located in the driver’s cabin behind the two back seats.

IMPORTANT:
Never use the awning in stormy weather or in strong winds!
The awning must be retracted overnight or when the RV unattended.
Before extending the awning make sure that sufficient space is available.
Do not reposition the vehicle with the awning extended, and always be sure the awning is retracted when leaving the campground!
Make sure that the awning lighting is switched off when not needed or when awning is retracted as it draws power from the coach batteries if left
switched on. There is a wind sensor in the awning, powered by 2 watch batteries. If the batteries are going low a sensor will start to beep or cause
the awning to move on its own. If this occurs simply shut off the awning’s main power switch until the next operation of the awning is needed.
If the awning will not extend or retract simply turn off the main power switch of the house batteries, wait 10 seconds and then turn it back on
again. This will reset the electric system and the awning should operate again.

AWNING
Our vehicles are equipped with an awning. The control switches are located on the wall just inside the camper
door.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
12V DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM
The living area of the RV is equipped with a 12V dual battery system. The engine battery provides power to the
engine and driver's cabin, and coach batteries provide power to the living area of the RV. Both batteries are
charged by the alternator while driving but discharge independently from each other.
CAUTION:
Please do not overload the coach batteries because they cannot sufficiently recharge if they lose
too much voltage. Once the charge state of the coach batteries has reached a very low level, the
alternator can no longer adequately recharge them solely by driving. In that case, the coach
batteries must be recharged using the exterior power cable (110V) on the campground for at
least 8 hours. Renters are liable for any cost or lost time due to overloaded coach batteries.
BATTERY SWITCH POSITION
The main dial ① for switching the coach batteries on and off is located directly
next to the side entrance door at floor level. This switch must be in the ON
position to supply 12-volt power to the appliances and the RV’s living area.
When there is no power in the RV, always check to see if this switch may have
been set to OFF accidentally and reset to ON if necessary. ①
12V appliances: Inside and outside lighting, water heater, water pump, fan heater, awning, bathroom vent,
fridge and slide-out.
CAUTION:
The renter is liable for all damage resulting from improper
operation of the awning.

Intact fuse Faulty fuse
HOOK-UP TO THE POWER GRID (110V)
CONVERTER
A power converter automatically converts 110V power to 12V power for use by 12V appliances. The converter
is located in the fuse box. No manual operation is required as it is fully automatic.
FUSES & FUSEBOX
The fuses for the internal 12V or 110V power circuit are located in the fuse box which is located near the
entrance door at floor level.
12V PLUG-IN (BLADE-TYPE) FUSES
The 12V plug-in fuses protect the inside and outside lighting, water heater, water
pump, heater fan, fans, bathroom vent, fridge, awning and slide-out. If an
appliance doesn’t work, a fuse might be blown. When the connecting wire in the
middle of the fuse is broken the fuse has to be changed. Our RV’s are equipped
with spare fuses which are usually placed in one of the kitchen drawers.
POWER OUTLETS & RESET BUTTON
While connected to a 110V power grid or while the generator is running, the living area is
supplied with power and the integrated power outlets can be used. The power outlets do not
supply power while driving. Only 12-volt power is available while driving.
If the power outlets do not work while connected to a 110V source, please check if the reset
switch has been tripped. To do this, press the reset button ①then check the outlets for power
again. The reset button is located at the outside power outlet on the passenger side.
MICROWAVE
A minimum of 110V/15AMP hook-up is required to operate the microwave oven. If a 15AMP connection is
used and, in addition to the convection oven, other 110V appliances are turned on, there is a risk of a circuit
overload which might cause the main fuse (110V breaker) to trip. To operate multiple 110V appliances we
recommend a 30AMP connection.
ROOF AIR CONDITIONER
110V/30AMP hook-up is required to operate the roof air conditioner.
A power cable is provided with the RV for connecting the vehicle to the
110V power hook-up at campsites. The regular plug is for a 30AMP
connection which is standard at most campgrounds. An adapter is
provided for occasions when only 15AMP connection is available. All
electrical appliances in the RV and the hook up at the campsite should be
switched OFF before you connecting the RV. Use the 110V hook-up
whenever possible in order to preserve and recharge the coach batteries.
After connecting the power cable ①, tighten the black ring ②to prevent
accidental unplugging.

Smell of rotten eggs
Please open all windows and doors, turn off the propane, and check if
there is a leak in the propane system. If this is not the case, your coach
batteries may have been overloaded. A propane leak must be repaired in
a repair shop, and an overheated battery must be replaced. Please
contact our OnRoad-Service, and we will make an appointment for you.
GENERATOR
Your RV is equipped with an integrated generator providing your vehicle with 110V power
(AC) when it is not hooked up to the power grid on the campground. In addition, the coach
batteries will be charged slowly. The generator draws fuel from the propane tank.
The generator must be OFF while driving!
Turning the Generator ON
1.Turn off all electrical devices.
2.Press and hold the switch in the STOP (PRIME) until the Start/Stop switch LED flashes.
3.Press and hold the switch in the START position until the generator starts.
4.Wait 30 to 40 seconds for the power circuit to close. The microwave will beep to indicate power connection

start
-Propane is not available. Ensure propane service valve is open and tank is not empty.
-Start button pressed and held for enough time. It needs to be pressed for approx. 10
seconds (sometimes longer).
-Weak coach batteries. Start and run the engine for a few minutes and then try to start
the generator again.
-Blown or burnt out fuse. Please check the fuses in the fuse box and on the generator,
and replace plug-in fuses if required
Fuse is tripped
The circuit is overloaded. If too many appliances are used simultaneously, the fuse may
be tripped while the generator is running. Please turn off the appliances and check the
110V breaker in the fuse box. If all breakers in the fuse box are in the ON position,
please also check the breaker right on the generator (see below picture). Then try to
start the generator again.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Never use the generator compartment for storage. Please keep the compartment clean and dry at all times.
2.Do not use the generator when the RV is parked in high grass or in scrubby terrain because the heat of the
exhaust fumes may cause a fire in dry conditions.
3.Do not touch the generator while it is running or shortly after it has been turned off to avoid burns.
SOLAR SYSTEM There is a solar panel on the roof of your RV which continuously charges the coach
battery when exposed to sunlight. The solar power system is automated and does not
require manual operation. Please do not make any changes to the default settings on
the control panel.
INTERIOR CONTROL PANEL
Level Check
Use this button to check the level of the black and grey holding tanks, fresh water
tank, propane tank and house batteries.
PROPANE TANK
Stove top burners, oven, water heater, furnace and refrigerator are all propane operated. The RV is equipped
with an integrated propane tank, which is located underneath the vehicle. Tank inlet, main service valve and
the fill level indicator are located on the tank.
The propane tank is full at the start of rentals and does not need to be full when returned at the end of rentals.
Refilling that may be required while travelling is the expense of renters. Refilling can be done at most fuel
stations and some private campgrounds. Service personnel will do the refilling. There is no self-service for
propane.

CAUTION:
When used properly, propane use is very safe. Nevertheless, all our vehicles are equipped with a
propane detector that triggers an alarm when an elevated concentration of propane is detected
in the air. Propane is highly flammable and explosive. Therefore, please be sure to strictly follow
the operating instructions for all propane-operated devices in the vehicle.
If you notice a smell of sulfur or rotten eggs, or if the propane alarm sounds, extinguish all open
flames immediately, do not operate any electrical switches, and please close the main valve of
the propane tank. Immediately open all windows and doors. Once the alarm stops, make sure
that all switches on the Stove top are properly turned off, i.e. are in the OFF position.
In such cases, avoid open fire under all circumstances!
Prior to any refuelling, propane refilling or ferry rides, the main valve of the propane tank MUST
be closed. All propane-operated appliances, such as the fridge, stove and heater, must first be
turned off.
Troubleshooting: Propane
Problem
Cause/Solution
Propane operation of the
appliances does not work.
-The propane valve on the tank is closed. Please open the valve.
-The propane tank is empty. Please refill.
No propane supply after main
valve has been turned on
after a refill or ferry trip.
Please open the valves very slowly because otherwise. The safety shut-off
valve, may be triggered preventing the propane from flowing to the end
devices. Allow 1 to 2 minutes for the propane to reach the devices.
Propane alarm is triggered or
there is a smell of sulfur or
rotten eggs inside the RV.
Immediately close the main valve on the propane tank. There may be a leak in
the system. Open doors and windows so that any propane can escape to the
outside. Avoid open fire under any circumstances until the smell has
dissipated, and do not operate any electrical switches. The system must be
inspected by a technician. If there is no problem with the propane system, the
smell may indicate a coach battery overload or short circuit. If this is the case,
you should be able to see a white powder (sulphuric acid) on or around the
battery. Please do NOT touch it, because the acid is corrosive! Please call our
OnRoad-Service so that we can arrange for an appointment with a technician.
WATER SYSTEM
FRESHWATER TANK (POTABLE WATER/TANK FILL)
The RV is equipped with an integrated fresh water tank. It is not automatically refilled by hooking up to the city
water connection. It must be refilled separately through the "Potable Water" or "Tank Fill" inlet on the
passenger side.
CAUTION:
Never empty the fresh water tank entirely because this may damage the water pump. Renters are
liable for damage expense and/or loss of time resulting from insufficient water tank level.
Troubleshooting: Freshwater Tank
Problem
Cause/Solution
Freshwater tank
remains empty
despite refilling.
Be sure not to confuse the freshwater tank inlet (passenger side) with the city water
connection or the sewer flush (both at the driver side). The freshwater tank does not
automatically refill through the city water connection but must be refilled separately.

Page | 17
WATER PUMP The water pump switch must have switched ON (illuminated in red) to draw water
from the fresh water tank. The switch for the water pump is on the battery and
tank level panel.
Please turn off the pump
-while driving,
-when not use it for an extended period,
-when the RV is connected to the city water hook up.
This prevents overheating. Renters are liable for damage resulting from overheating.
Troubleshooting: Water Pump
Problem
Cause/Solution
Water pump does not
start.
1. The 12 Volt plug-in fuse is blown. Please check the 12V plug-in fuses and
replace where necessary.
2. The battery voltage is too low. Please check the coach battery level on the
battery and tank indicator panel, and if necessary, recharge the battery.
3. The pump is faulty. Please call our OnRoad-Service.
Constant “grunting”
sound from the pump.
1. Water tank is empty. Please refill.
2. Loose connection in the water system. Please call our OnRoad-Service.
CITY WATER CONNECTION
The RV can be connected directly to the pressurized fresh water system of the campground with the provided
water hose and pressure regulator. Please note the following steps:
1. Please ask the campground staff for the available water pressure at their sites. Use of the pressure
regulator is required for pressures of 40 PSI or higher. Please also use the pressure regulator when the
water pressure is not known.
2. Connect one end of the water hose to the city water connection at the driver side of the RV.
3. Connect the other end of the water hose to the water pressure regulator and the regulator to the
water tap of the camp site when the water pressure is 40 PSI or higher. If the pressure is lower than 40
PSI, connect the other end of the hose directly to the tap.
4. Please open the water tap of the camp site half a turn only to avoid excess pressure on the water lines
of the RV when not using the pressure regulator.
5. Open all water taps of the RV slowly to ventilate the pipes.

WATER HEATER The RV is equipped with a propane-operated water heater which supplies
heated water to the faucets and showers. The water heater refills
automatically drawing the cold water available from the freshwater tank or
city water connection.
Press the water heater switch ①into the ON position. The red LED ②
illuminates for approximately 15 seconds and goes out at the same time
that the propane burner can be heard igniting. The water reaches a
temperature of approximately 50 to 60 degrees Celsius (120 to 140
degrees Fahrenheit) and requires a heating time of approx. 20 to 30
minutes. The water heater will automatically reignite as required to
maintain the water temperature as long as the switch ①is in the ON position.
CAUTION:
It is important that the water heater is turned off while refueling or driving!
Troubleshooting: Water Heater
Problem
Cause/Solution
The water heater LED does not
illuminate when the water
heater is switched on.
-Water is already hot.
-12V plug-in fuse for the water heater has blown.
-Reset needed at the water heater itself
The water heater does not
work at all.
-Not enough propane.
-Not enough power because the level of the coach battery is too low.
SHOWER
The showers have a sliding button on the shower head (picture on the right) to control the water
flow. The water flow can be stopped while taking a shower to save water and space in the grey
water tank.
Troubleshooting: Shower
Problem
Cause/Solution
The water in the shower
does not drain away.
-The grey water tank is full. Please empty it as soon as possible.
-The shower drain is clogged up. Please remove any residue blocking the drain.
OUTSIDE SHOWER
Only biodegradable shower gels and shampoos are permitted for outside shower use. These products are
available at outdoor and camping stores. Please consider the environment and follow these rules.
TOILET
CHEMICALS
To ensure that the toilet can be used without the risk of clogging, it is necessary to add special chemicals to the
black water tank. These chemicals deodorize and decompose at the same time. They are available in liquid,
powder and tablet form and should be added every time the black water tank has been. After you have added
the chemicals to the black water tank pour two buckets of water into the toilet or flush at least four times to
help the chemicals dissolve and work.
CAUTION:
Only use biodegradable or 1-layered toilet paper. Do NOT dispose of diapers, hygiene articles, Q-
tips, etc. in the toilet UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Avoiding this prevents clogging, repairs and
time loss that would be at the renter’s expense.

Troubleshooting: Toilet
Problem
Cause/Solution
The toilet is clogged
up.
-The black water tank might be full. Please empty it at the dump station of your
campground or a Sani dump.
-Pour some hot water into the toilet. It will flow to the wastewater tank and should
help dissolve solid waste quickly. It only works if no objects are causing the problem.
WASTEWATER
The RV is equipped with two separate waste water tanks. The grey water tank holds the waste water drained
from the sinks and shower. The black water tank holds waste flushed down the toilet. Please use plenty of
water with each flush of the toilet to prevent clogging.
The tank capacities are limited. Tanks must therefore be emptied regularly.
EMPTYING THE WASTEWATER TANKS
CAUTION:
-NEVER leave the vehicle unattended while draining the wastewater tank.
-Do not leave the drain valves open while the RV is connected to a permanent sewer drain at the
site because this may lead to crusting and clogging in the black water tank. The renter is liable
for any damage resulting from improper use of the system.
-The wastewater tanks must be emptied at designated disposal stations only. These DUMPING,
SANI or DISPOSAL stations can be found at many campgrounds and at some gas stations and rest
stations along main roads and highways. The wastewater tanks should be emptied regularly, i.e.
every two or three days.
Troubleshooting: Wastewater Tanks
Problem
Cause/Solution
The RV is hooked up to the city water
connection and water comes out of the toilet
and/or the ventilation pipe on the roof.
You accidentally connected the water hose to the sewer flush.
Turn off the water and connect the hose to the "City Water"
hook-up.
The wastewater tanks are indicated to be full
although they have just been emptied.
-Paper, grease or food can get stuck on the sensors inside the
tank causing false readings.
-There is no clog if water can be heard running through the
sewer hose.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
The RV is equipped with a furnace which is operated by 12V and fueled by propane. Ensure that a propane
bottle is open and the batteries are charged or the camper is hooked up to a 110V power grid. The furnace is
controlled using the thermostat (see below).
Grey water drain pipe
1. Remove cap.
2. Twist on sewer hose using bayonet joint.
3. Put sewer hose in dump pit.
4. Open black valve, leave it open when empty.
5. Open grey valve, leave it open when empty.
6. Flush with at least 2 buckets of water through the toilet.
7. Close grey and black drain valve.
8. Remove and store sewer hose.
9. Close cap.
