CANADIAN TRAFFIC RULES AND ROAD SIGNS
TRAFFIC RULES
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
Permitted blood alcohol levels are mandated by the provinces and territories. 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 red.
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 generally 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.

Page | 3
Fraserway RV’s allowed on HOV lanes:
Van Conversion
Truck
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. As a general rule, parking is only permitted in the driving direction
of the traffic lane. Parking is not permitted within 6 meters 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 generally marks a no-parking zone. If your vehicle uses more payable parking
spots, 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 is 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.

Page | 4
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.
ROAD SIGNS

CABIN
All vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The Ford F-350/F-
450 V8 engine displacement is 6.2 to 6.8 litres and an output of up to 440 hp.
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch has 4 different key positions:
POSITION 0 (OFF): The ignition is off.
POSITION I (ACCESSORY) allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to operate while the engine is not
running.
POSITION II (ON): All electrical circuits are operational. Warning lamps and indicators are illuminated.
POSITION III (START) cranks the engine. Please release the key as soon as the engine starts.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the ignition key in position 0 or Iwithout the engine running for too long to to
prevent the engine battery from losing all of its charge.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The gear selector is on the right-hand side of the steering column. The instrument cluster displays the current
position. Your right foot must be depressing the brake pedal to shift. The gear selector has the following
positions:
P
PARK
to start or turn off the engine. The key can only be pulled 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.
+/-
MANUAL
can be used to shift up or down manually by pressing the +and –button.
CAUTION:
We strongly recommend selecting D for all normal driving
conditions! Please only select the MANUAL position for
extreme conditions.
TOW/HAUL (OVERDRIVE OFF)
While driving in mountainous terrain and on routes that require frequent speed changes we recommend using
the Tow/Haul or Overdrive function ①to prevent the transmission from shifting to the highest gear, gives the
vehicle some extra power when going uphill and braking assistance from the engine when going downhill to
reduce the risk of overheating brakes.
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 turn the
function on/off.
CRUISE CONTROL
The RV is equipped with Cruise Control. The minimum speed required for its use is 50 km/h. We do not
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.

VEHICLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FUEL
This diesel operated engine requires Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (D1/D2).
A N D A D D I T I O N A L
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), in known
in Europe as "AdBlue". This converter automatically injects the DEF into the
exhaust system. Your diesel vehicle will be filled up with DEF prior to your
rental. Some driving styles (e.g. frequent accelerating), however, require
more frequent re-fills than others. In that case, buy new DEF as soon as
possible, which is available at many gas stations, auto repair shops or at Ford dealers. The DEF tank inlet ①is
right beside the diesel tank inlet. 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. After the refill, the warning light remains on for a while, but after 50 kms,
if not sooner, the board computer readjusts.
WARNING:
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.
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.

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, doubts or concerns, 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 when the tires are cold!
Tire pressure (cold): Ford F-350 +: 65 PSI (front) –80 PSI (rear)*
Ford F-450 +: 75 PSI (front) –60 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.
WARNING:
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 under the passenger-side rear seat of the truck. They are accessed by pulling the
side lever on the back rest and folding the back rest forward.

IMPORTANT:
Never use the awning in stormy weather or in strong winds!
The awning must be retracted when the RV is unattended.
Before extending the awning make sure that sufficient space is available.
Do not repositioning the vehicle with the awning extended, and always be sure the awning is retracted before driving
Make sure that the awning lighting is switched off when not needed or when awning is retracted because it draws power
from the coach battery if left switched on.
There is a wind sensor in the awning, powered by 2 watch batteries. If these batteries are getting 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 next to the entrance door.
CAUTION:
The renter is liable for all damage resulting from improper operation of the awning.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
12V DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM
The camper is equipped with a 12V dual battery system. The vehicle and camper batteries are both charged by
the alternator while you are driving but discharge independently from each other.
The camper batteries are located in one of the external compartments of your camper.
Vehicle battery: Provides power to the engine and driver's cabin.
Coach batteries: Provide power to the camper.
CAUTION:
Please do not overload the camper batteries because they cannot sufficiently recharge if they lose
too much voltage. Once the charge state of the camper batteries has reached a very low level, the
alternator can no longer adequately recharge them solely by driving. In that case, the camper
batteries must be recharged using the exterior power cable (110V) on the campground for at least
8 hours. We are not responsible for any cost or lost time due to overloaded camper batteries.
BATTERY SWITCH POSITION
The main switch for turning the camper batteries on and off is located either in the battery compartment on
the outside of the camper, or in the compartment below the entrance door. This switch must be in the ON
position to supply 12-volt power to the appliances and camper. When there is no power in the camper, always
check to see if this switch may have been set to OFF accidentally and reset to ON if necessary.
To be ON the switch must be PULLED out!

Page | 12
HOOK-UP TO THE POWER GRID (110V)
A power cable is provided with the camper for connecting to the 110V power supply at the
campsite. The regular plug is for a 30 AMP connection which is standard at most campgrounds.
An adapter is provided for occasions when only 15AMP connection is available. All electrical
appliances of the camper and the hook up at the campsite should be switched OFF before
connecting the RV. Use the 110V hook-up whenever possible in order to preserve and recharge
the camper batteries. The camper batteries recharge while the camper is connected to an
electrical hook-up and the fridge will automatically switch to 110V operation if set to AUTO.
CAUTION:
Please do not to overload the camper batteries. They cannot sufficiently recharge if they lose too
much voltage. Once the charge has reached a very low level, the alternator can no longer recharge
them solely by driving. In that case they must be recharged using the exterior power cable (110V)
on the campground for at least 8 hours. We are not responsible for any cost or lost time due to
overloaded coach batteries. Complete drainage of batteries can damage them and the charging
system. In this case, the charging system and the batteries would have to be checked and
potentially replaced, by a technician.
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
Fuses for the internal 12V or 110V power circuit are located in the fuse box at the main bed 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.
110V BREAKERS
The 110V fuses secure power to the microwave, convection oven, roof air conditioner, and AC power outlets.
If one of these appliances does not work, this may be due to a tripped breaker. Please check, and if this is the
case, first fully switch the breaker into the OFF position and then back into the ON position.
After connecting the power cable, tighten the black ring to prevent accidental
unplugging.

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 ①.Then check the outlets for power outlets are supplied with power again. The reset
button is usually located beside the bathroom sink.
15 AMP ADAPTER
A 15AMP adapter is provided for occasions when 30AMP connection is not available. It connects to the plug
end of the power cable and converts the socket from a 30 to a 15AMP plug.
SOLAR SYSTEM The camper is equipped with a solar system on the roof, which recharges the
coach battery when exposed to sunlight. The solar system is automated and does
not require manual operation. Please do not make any changes to the default
settings on the control panel.

PROPANE BOTTLES
Stove top burners, oven, water heater, furnace and refrigerator are
operational by propane operated. To ensure that sufficient propane is
available, the camper is equipped with two propane bottles which are
located in one of the external compartments of the camper. For the hold
capacity, please see the "Vehicle Specifications" chapter. The main valve
for the propane supply is directly on the tank.
The bottles are full at the start of rentals and do 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.
①②③④
The small black lever must point
to the opened bottle. Otherwise,
the gas flow is blocked.

Page | 14
CAUTION:
If 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 battle. Immediately open all windows and doors. Once the alarm stops, make sure that
all switches on the stove top are properly turned off.
In such cases, avoid open fire under all circumstances!
Prior to any refuelling, propane refilling or ferry rides, the main valve of the propane bottle 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 bottle is closed. Please open the valve.
-The propane bottle is empty. Please refill.
-The lever located on the distributor between the bottles does not point to
the opened propane bottle, i.e. the propane supply is blocked. Please turn
lever towards the opened propane bottle.
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 bottles. 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 camper 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
outside wall of the camper.
CAUTION:
Never empty the freshwater 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.

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 in use for an extended period of time.
-when the camper is connected to 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 camper.
3.Connect the other end of your 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
camper when not using the pressure regulator.
5.Open all water taps of you’re the camper slowly to ventilate the pipes.

WATER HEATER
The camper 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.
Push the water heater switch ①into the ON position. The red LED ②illuminates
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.
Troubleshooting: Water Heater
Problem
Cause/Solution
The water heater LED does not
illuminate when the water heater is
turned 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 coach battery level is too low.
SHOWER The shower service lever is on the faucet of the wash basin. The connecting
piece between the hose and the faucet is a plastic nozzle (photo on the
left). Pull this nozzle up so that the water flow to the faucet is redirected to
the 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
For outside shower use, ensure that either the RV is hooked up to the campground's water connection or the
water pump is switched on to draw water from the tank. There is a sliding button on the outside shower head
to control the water flow. 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
The use of chemicals in the black water tank prevents clogging and ensures thorough drainage. The chemicals
deodorize and decompose waste. They are available in liquid, powder, and tablet form and should be added
after each time the black water tank has been drained. Drop the chemicals through the toilet along with two
CAUTION:
It is important that the water heater is turned off while refueling or
driving!

Page | 17
buckets of water or hold the flushing lever of the toilet open with the water pump running for 10 seconds so
the chemicals dissolve and activate.
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 camper 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 can only be emptied at designated disposal stations. These DUMPING,
SANI or DISPOSAL stations can be found on most campgrounds, at some gas stations and rest
areas along main roads and highways. The wastewater tanks should be emptied regularly, (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 off through
the sewer hose.
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.

HEATING
The camper 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).
CAUTION:
NEVER run the furnace for an extended time WITHOUT a power connection. If the camper is not
hooked up to a 110V power grid (on the campground), the heater may become overloaded. The
fan consumes power that could quickly drain the camper batteries. The stress on the batteries
can be mitigated by setting the thermostat to the lowest possible temperature for comfort. The
renter is liable for repairs and loss of time due to battery overload!
THERMOSTAT
To start the furnace, put the main switch ①into the ON position ⑤, then set the
temperature control ②to the highest ④level to start. The burner ignites within 30
seconds. Adjust the temperature control ②to the desired level after the fan starts
blowing warm air. The main switch ①can be stiff and may require a little extra force to
switch on or off . To turn the furnace off, set the temperature control to the lowest ③
level and put the main switch into the OFF position ⑥(to the right until it clicks in
place). The fan remains on for about a minute after turning off the furnace.
Troubleshooting: Heater
Problem
Cause/Solution
The heater blows only cold air.
-The set temperature has already been reached
-Main valve of propane bottle is closed
-Propane bottle is empty
(Test fridge and stove for a problem with propane supply.)
The heater fan does not start.
-Empty coach batteries.
-Loose wire/contact in thermostat. Please call our OnRoad-Service.
Furnace fan comes on and
shuts off after 20-30 seconds
Sail switch needs to be cleaned, please call our OnRoad-Service at 1-866-
535-6601 for further instruction.
COOKING AREA
STOVE
The stove elements burn propane. The burners have no safety valves. Propane flows when an element is
turned up but is not aflame. Please always ensure elements are turned off when not in use and that the flames
of the burners haven’t been extinguished by just a draft of air with propane escaping unnoticed.
Ignition
Press in the knob of the corresponding element and turn it counter-clockwise (propane flow can be heard).
Ignite the element by turning the spark knob or using a gas lighter. Turn the element’s knob to desired level
and release.
Turning Off
To shut off an element, turn the corresponding knob back to the OFF position. Be sure that the knob clicks into
place and is locked so it can no longer be turned.

Page | 19
OVEN
The oven’s burner is fueled by propane. Propane flows when the burner is turned up but is not aflame. Please
always ensure the control knob is turned fully to OFF when not in use.
Ignition
The pilot light is underneath the tray in the back of the oven. To light the oven, turn the
oven knob to the PILOT ON position and keep it pressed in. At the same time, light the
pilot light using a gas lighter. Wait for about 1 minute, then slowly release the knob
while turning it to the desired oven temperature. The burner will now fully ignite.
Power off
Turn the knob back into the OFF position to turn off the oven.
CAUTION:
The stove and oven must be turned off while you are driving and must NEVER be used to heat the
living area. We recommend always opening a window or skylight when the stove and/or oven is in
use. Make sure the oven door is properly closed because the plastic knobs above can melt.
FRIDGE
AUTOMATIC VS. PROPANE MODE
When the fridge is set to AUTO ③ it automatically selects the available energy source. When the camper is
not connected to a 110V source of power, the fridge will run by gas (ensure a propane tank is open). When the
camper is connected to 110V the fridge will automatically switch to AC operation. We recommend keeping the
fridge set to AUTO mode. When the fridge is set to GAS ④it runs by propane only.
CAUTION:
1.Park the RV in a level spot. Parking in spaces that are not level impedes the cooling process and
damages the fridge.
2.Always be sure to close the fridge and freezer doors completely.
3.Before arriving at a fuel station or a ferry please turn off the fridge and shut off the propane.
After leaving a fuel station or ferry, reopen the propane valve first and then restart the fridge.
The control panel for the fridge is located above the freezer behind the door:
