Vehicle Master Battery Switch
The red nob to the right of the battery is a master on/off switch for power to the entire vehicle. It is primarily
used for storage parking.
Vehicle Security Lockout
To start the RV, you must first disable the security kill switch for the ignition. To do so, use the small white
square tag on the key chain and touch it to the black patch to the right of the steering wheel on the dash panel. It
will beep and you are then able to start the RV. If you forget and attempt to start the vehicle, the horn will beep
once to remind you the security lockout is still armed.
Master Battery Switch
There is a master battery switch for cabin power located at the entrance step. Note: In addition to the generator
or city power connection, the master battery switch must be turned on for the AC and refrigerator thermostats to
function. It also needs to be on to start the generator. It is intended as a master kill switch for the cabin when
remote camping to keep the house battery from being drained when the unit is vacant.

City Electric Power Source
- The shore line hookup is located in the panel at the exterior rear on the RV driver side. The large black
cable/plug must be unattached from the internal receptacle and plugged into the park’s electric access box. The
RV uses 30 amp hookups.
- The generator should be off before plugging in cable to hook up to city/park electric power source or
reattaching the cable to the outlet inside the RV bin. Cable must be plugged in to the RV outlet to complete the
circuit for generator power to the RV.
- An adapter for use in powering to a conventional 110v outlet is in the rear access panel. I do not recommend
using this for long term or heavy use. It is primarioly for lighting, refrigerator, and charging the house batteries.
- Circuit Panel is located below the refirigerator. Extra fuses are onboard in the toolbox. There is also a master
circuit switch located directly on the generator under the acess panel, to the right side of the start button.

Generator Power
How to start
1) Start button –located by the stovetop
2) In the event of a dead generator battery, there is a battery hot swap button (emergency start) which
allows you to start the generator from the vehicle battery. It is located to the left of the steering wheel.
Start the vehicle, push the button upwards, and then re-try the generator start button. You can then turn
off the vehicle.
Note: AC should be off when starting, to minimize power draw on warm-up.
The generator has a master breaker located directly on it, underneath the access panel, which can be
checked if you experience electrical difficulty, such as the power is on but the AC will not function.
The generator battery is located under the side entry door step.
Fuel tank level - at ¼ tank, fuel supply for generator ends, as a safety feature to prevent you from depleting the
RV fuel tank and then not being able to drive to a gas station.

AC
The Thermostat is located on the wall beside the dining table. There is a time delay built in for compressor to
kick in. Please turn off when shutting down generator or disconnecting from park electric so that it is off for
future startup. If AC does not come on, check generator circuit breaker. Round AC vents are located throughout
the cabin so that you can direct the airflow. Heat ducts are located on the floor and along the bottom of
cabinetry.
Water
- The water hookup for city water is located on the exterior, mid driver side of RV. Use the hose supplied with
the RV to hook up to a city water source.
-If you are not hooked up to a city water source, the water pump (on panel beside the stove) needs to be on, for
sinks or toilet, to provide water pressure. You also need water in the onboard water tank. This step is not
necessary when hose attached to city water source. The fill valve for the onboard tank is located inside a small
bin on the rear driver side corner of the RV. It is a gravity fill system.
-Water level monitor for onboard freshwater tank, is located on the test panel beside the stove.
-Water heater needs to be turned on 5 minutes prior to use. It is propane heated. I recommend turning it off
after needed use. On/Off switch located on the test panel by the stove. Propane gas level monitor is also located
on the test panel..
