CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO RV OWNERSHIP
Welcome to the world of Recreational Vehicle travel. The purchase of
your KZRV product allows you to enter this type of camping and leisure
travel. Your coach has been designed and engineered to offer many of
the comforts of home. KZ Recreational Vehicles are designed and
constructed to be used as temporary living quarters for camping and
travel uses. The coaches are not intended for hauling cargo except Toy
Haulers and then only within weight limits.
This Owner’s Manual was prepared to assist you in understanding the
proper use and operation of various containment systems, servicing and
maintenance of component parts, as well as explanation of your warranty
protection. If this is your first RV travel coach, you will want to acquaint
yourself with all aspects and information found in this manual plus
manuals supplied by component manufacturers.
These materials will reflect the most current information available for the
user. Some components and items may not be in your coach as they
may be options on different models.
Keep this Owner’s Manual in your recreational vehicle for handy
reference. Get to know your new vehicle and howit operates. You should
carefully read and understand these instructions, as well as information
supplied by the manufacturers of separately warranted products, since
they contain important operating, safety, and maintenance instructions.
If you have questions that are not adequately answered by this manual
or other booklets, consult your dealer. If they cannot satisfactorily answer
your questions, they will call our staff for additional information.
Every effort has been made to provide you with a safe and dependable
product. Your vehicle complies with applicable requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, State Regulations, and Canadian
Standards Association (CSA), where applicable, and complies with
requirements of ANSI Standard 1192, the nationally recognized
“Standard for Recreational Vehicle – Installation of Plumbing, Heating
and Electrical System”. The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association
(RVIA) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) periodically inspect
our production lines and assist us in maintaining strict compliance with
installation and safety standards for those systems. Your follow-up with
periodic safety inspections and a program of preventive
maintenance is important for the continuation of safe and trouble-
free operation.

8
Camping is a great way to relax and enjoy the outdoors with your friends
and family. Please remember to tread lightly on our beautiful land and
leave only your footprints so that others may enjoy nature as much as
you did.
Safety Considerations
The terms NOTE, CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER have specific
meanings in this manual as well as component and vendor manuals.
A NOTE provides additional information to make a step or procedure
easier or clearer. Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, but
would not be likely to cause damage or personal injury.
A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment damage could result.
Disregarding a CAUTION could cause permanent mechanical damage.
However, personal injury is unlikely.
A WARNING is giving notice to user that potential injuries may occur to a
person from equipment and mechanical failure. Disregarding a
WARNING may result in serious physical injury to occupant.
A DANGER alerts the owner of areas where safety measures MUST be
strictly adhered to, as such failures can be dangerous. Disregarding a
DANGER could cause serious injury and possible loss of life.
Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
KZRV.
If NHTSA, in addition, receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation. If it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or
KZRV.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free
1-800-424-9393 or write to:
NHTSA
US Department of Transportation
Washington, DC 20590
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the
Hotline.

Safety When Emergency Stopping
It is wise to carry road flags and/or triangular warning devices to be used
when necessary. When pulling off a highway, use your four-way hazard
lights as warning flashers, even if only to change drivers. Pull off the
roadway completely, if at all possible, to change flat tires or any other
emergency needs.
Additional Safety Considerations
1. Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see
sanitizing instructions).
2. Keep water connection fittings from coming in contact with the
ground or drain hose to reduce chance of contamination.
3. Enlist services of a qualified technician to test, repair, or replace
any propane or electrical appliances.
4. Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily
accessible location.
5. Insure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated.
Watch tire inflation closely. Under-inflated tires will overheat.
Check the tire pressure before each trip while the tires are cold.
6. Check and tighten the wheel lugs regularly (every 50 miles when
new until 200 miles are reached, then check the lugs every 500
miles).
7. Check the brakes BEFORE entering a busy highway, not while
traveling.
8. Always block the trailer wheels solidly before unhitching.
9. Before leaving a camp area with a trailer in tow, insure:
a. The safety pin or locking lever is seated.
b. The breakaway wire is attached to the tow vehicle.
c. All jacks are raised so that they cannot touch the
ground.
d. The 110-volt electrical cord is properly stored.
e. The safety chains are connected.
f. All interior lights are off.
10. Observe and obey the warning labels attached to your vehicle
concerning propane, water, electricity, and loading.
11. Extinguish all campfires before leaving your campsite.
Extended Use or Cold Weather
Your KZ Recreational Vehicle has been built for enjoyment in a
recreational manner. This recreational vehicle is not intended to be used
as full time living quarters. Nor is this a four season unit. Using this unit
in freezing conditions is not recommended. However, if a unit is used in
freezing weather, following are guidelines to follow. Any problems
resulting from freezing are not covered under the warranty.

10
1. For winter use in freezing conditions, more protection may be
required. Use skirting and/or insulation below floor level to
provide additional protection.
2. Remember, water freezes at 32°F whether fresh or drainage.
Proper care must be used to protect any system at 32°F or
lower. Local recreational vehicle dealers and campground
personnel may be able to advise you on needed protection.
3. Energy requirements, such as propane and electrical supplies,
must be adequate. Protect your propane regulator from freeze
ups.
4. During cold weather, you will experience more condensation
than normal. Using ventilation or a dehumidifier may be needed.
Condensation
Causes:
A. Condensation occurs when warm moist air contacts a cold
surface, such as rain touching a tent. Awning fabric with people
breathing warm moist air against it inside, due to normal
breathing, is also a cause of condensation.
B. When cooking food or taking a shower, warm moist air circulates
throughout coach attaching itself to cooler surfaces. Forming
beads and running down walls or windows.
C. Normal breathing will emit approximately 1/2 pint of moisture
into the air per person, per day. The more occupants, the
greater quantity of condensation you may find.
Solutions:
1. When taking a shower, open bath roof vent approximately 1/2
inch allowing warm moist air to escape.
2. Use the power vent over range when cooking.
3. If condensation is found in cabinets or closets, open door slightly
to equalize temperature and provide ventilation.
4. Opening windows and roof vents, when possible, allowing warm
moist air to escape is the best way to reduce condensation.
5. Under extreme conditions, you may need to use a dehumidifier
to remove moist air conditions.
In camping, models which have tents or fabric bunk areas, it is even more
important to avoid condensation drops from roof areas. Opening the tent
window at the person’s head will allow air to flow across roof, reducing or
avoiding condensation.
Uncontrolled condensation can cause dampness, mildew, etc., inside
your recreational vehicle. Be sure to make strong efforts to control
condensation.

11
Interior Ventilation
A new coach always has a peculiar aroma in it due to all the components
used to build it, such as paneling, plywood, carpet, etc.
Allowing fresh air to move and circulate throughout a new recreational
vehicle for several minutes can remedy that smell.
Numerous ways are provided to circulate air:
1. Open windows.
2. Power hood vent above cooking stove.
3. Roof vents.
Different brands/models have different features, such as remote control,
rain sensor, variable speed control switch, etc.
Carefully read the operating instructions placed in your coach by the
manufacturer of the various components.
Continuous living in your recreational vehicle could cause
accelerated wear to components above recreational use.

12
CHAPTER 2
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Basic Service Procedures
Both KZRV and your KZRV Dealer has a strong and dedicated interest in
maintaining the highest quality customer relations with its owners. Your
satisfaction with your KZ recreational vehicle and your KZRV dealer is
our primary concern. By producing high quality products, we want to
assure our customers of our support with parts and service availability.
Our dealer network is the first choice to serve and supply your
needs for your recreational vehicle. Our authorized dealers will
pleasantly assist in providing service maintenance needs plus parts,
options, and information concerning your recreational vehicle.
Should you experience a problem with service availability, please follow
the steps in the order listed below:
1. Contact your selling dealer’s service department for an
appointment. Describe to the best of your knowledge the
nature of the problem. Please keep appointments to
establish a good, workable relationship.
2. Contact the owner or general manager of the dealership
should the initial attempt fail with the service department.
3. Contact: Customer Relations Department

Phone: [phone]
Hours: 8am –5pm EST
Email: [email protected]
Website: http: //www.kz-rv.com
Give all the above information as requested along with the VIN
number of the coach in question. We will make every attempt
to resolve your problem.
Please bear in mind that most problems arise from misunderstandings
concerning warranty coverage and service. In most instances, you will
be referred to the dealer level and your concerns will be resolved with the
dealer’s facilities and personnel.
Dealer
Your authorized KZRV dealer has performed a PDI (pre-delivery
inspection) on your recreational vehicle. Since your dealer is authorized
to sell KZRV products, they are also there to supply parts, optional

13
equipment, and provide service repairs, warranty, etc. as needed. First
choice for warranty repairs is your selling dealer. Other dealers can be
used, however; prior approval is required.
Some recreational vehicle dealers may be authorized service centers for
certain manufacturers of products warranted separately. Check with your
dealer before contacting anyone else to reduce delays. If the dealer is
not an authorized service center for the product in question, they can
assist you in obtaining authorized service.
Factory
Service repairs can be performed at the manufacturing facility in
Shipshewana, Indiana. Should your KZRV product be in need of major
repairs and your dealer recommends factory repairs, please follow the
steps listed below for such work.
1. Your dealer must make an appointment with service personnel
at the factory PRIOR to your arrival.
2. Any freight costs are the responsibility of the owner as listed in
the warranty coverage schedule.
Parts
Stocking of parts varies from dealer to dealer. Any authorized dealer can
order any required part to be shipped to their dealership. All parts are
obtained through authorized KZRV dealers only.
Owner’s Responsibility
When owning and using a recreational vehicle, it is important to perform
regular and normal maintenance. This is recommended twice a year,
spring and fall, to prevent undesired deterioration of your coach. Weather
elements play an important function on sealants and other components
requiring normal maintenance.
As an owner and operator, it is your responsibility and obligation to
inspect and return your coach to an authorized dealer for repairs as
required. Your authorized selling dealer is always your first choice and
they certainly have continued interest in your satisfaction. As your
manufacturer, we recommend that inspection and service be performed
by your selling dealership.
If you are traveling and are unable to locate an authorized KZRV dealer,
or an authorized dealer for the component needing service, please call
our customer service office at [phone]. Service at a non-
authorized dealer MUST have prior authorization. You may be asked to
return any mechanical parts replaced before reimbursement

14
consideration is made. Unauthorized or improper repairs may void the
warranty of that component. Always keep your owner’s manual in your
coach along with a copy of your warranty registration with you when
traveling.
Seasonal Site
When placing your unit on a camp site in the spring and returning it in the
fall to your home, it’s classified as a “seasonal site”.
Performing repair work on such a site is not recommended for numerous
reasons: available parts, tools, space, weather conditions, etc.
Any service repairs which require a service technician also require the
unit to be taken to a service facility, preferably your selling dealer.
Warranty coverage does not include trip or service call costs for such a
trip. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide for such expenses.

CHAPTER 3
USING YOUR RV
In this chapter, you will find three areas of useful information to assist you
with equipment, traveling, and finally, actually using your recreational
vehicle.
Equipment
Tow Vehicle
Begin your camping experiences by obtaining a tow vehicle which will
adequately transport your recreational vehicle to and from your chosen
destinations. Your most important measuring tool is the GVWR, Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating, to cross match the capability of your selected tow
vehicle.
Most auto and truck manufacturers provide trailer towing guides for their
products. Ask your local automotive dealer for a copy or call the factory’s
direct lines for information. Many tow vehicles, including mini-vans, have
special towing package options available for small travel trailers. Tow
vehicles with long wheel bases perform better than those with short wheel
bases.
A second factor is GCWR, Gross Combined Weight Rating, which refers
to the total weight of the tow vehicle and any vehicle in tow as a
“combined” weight. This information, supplied by the tow vehicle
manufacturer, is related to the capability of the tow vehicle.
The condition of the suspension in your tow vehicle is also an important
factor. Make sure your tow vehicle is in good operating condition and
follow the factory recommended maintenance guidelines.
Hitches - Travel Trailer
After obtaining your tow vehicle, it is very important to choose, and have
installed, a correct hitch system with weight distributing bars to
accommodate your coach, if so required. This selection and installation
should be done by a professional hitch service center, which may or may
not be your selling dealer.
Weight distributing hitches apply leverage between the tow vehicle and
trailer. This assists in equalizing the weight distribution between vehicles,
resulting in both vehicles traveling level. The condition of the tow
vehicle’s suspension system will affect the towing performance capability
of your equipment.

Hitch Height Specifications - Travel Trailer
Due to axles being either straight or drop bars, the ball
height will vary. To find the correct height for the ball
hitch, set your trailer on a flat surface in level position.
Measure from the inside of the ball socket to the
ground, approximately 18 to 22 inches as shown, for
correct spacing. You may wish to add 1 to 2 inches
to this amount to compensate for sag of suspension
of the tow vehicles when hooked to the trailer.
Hook-Up - Travel Trailer
Hooking up your travel trailer is not difficult and gets easier with practice.
The following procedure will help you until you become more
experienced.
1. To raise the tongue of the trailer above the hitch ball on hitch,
turn the crank on the jack or use optional power jack.
2. Open the coupler latch.
3. Back the tow vehicle into proper position.
4. Turn the crank on the jack to lower the coupler onto the ball
hitch.
5. Close the coupler latch after completely seated. To secure
coupler latch, it is recommended that you install a latch pin or a
lock.
6. Install weight distributing bars (equalizer), when required, as
recommended by hitch supplier.
7. Retract the tongue jack completely.
8. Attach the cable for the breakaway switch to the tow vehicle.
9. Attach safety chains as per your state laws.
10. Plug in your 12-volt, 7-way electrical cord and connector from
the trailer to the tow vehicle connector.
Below are listed numerous items that should be inspected and tested
before traveling:
- All lights working on outside of coach.
- Stabilizer jacks in retracted position.
- Steps in retracted position.

FRAME &
COUPLER
GROUND
Trailers with tandem axles need to travel as level as possible,
avoiding different weights on each axle plus handling
conditions.
Using an oversized or undersized hitch can cause damage to
the frame of your travel trailer and/or tow vehicle.

- Refrigerator door latched completely.
- Loose items in secure position.
- Test brakes for operation before entering roadway.
The Safety Chain - Travel Trailer
Safety chain requirements will vary from state to state. The chain
supplied with your coach meets SAE requirements for maximum gross
trailer weight.
1. Cross the left chains under the coupler and attach to the right
mounting ring on the receiver hitch.
2. Take right chain under the coupler and attach it to the ring on
the left on the receiver hitch.
Traveling
Weights
For safety reasons and federal regulations, KZRV provides accurate
weight specifications to owners. On the exterior left front corner of the
coach you will find the Federal “Vehicle Identification Number” sticker, as
required by the federal government. This tag supplies information
concerning your coach, such as: VIN number, date/month of
manufacture, tire size rating, plus information about weights as described
in this manual.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the value specified as the load
carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground
interfaces. Tires will be rated 10% higher or more than the axle,
becoming the GAWR rating.
Gross VehicleWeight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum permissible weight
of this trailer when fully loaded. It includes all weight at the trailer axle(s)

and tongue. This includes ALL cargo, options and liquids.
Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) is the weight of this trailer as
manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the trailer axle(s)
and tongue. If applicable, it also includes full generator fluids, including
fuel, engine oil and coolants.
Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) is equal to the GVWR minus each of the
following: UVW, full fresh (potable) water weight (including water heater),
and full propane weight.
Weighing Vehicle (Loaded or unloaded)
The proper method to weigh the coach is to use a truck scale. Place
coach axles (tires) and tongue jack 12” to 24” from the edge. Unhook the
tow vehicle and move forward 6” to 8”. Now record total weight. Re-hook
the tow vehicle and remove the weight from the front support. Be sure
no part of tow vehicle is on the scale. Now record the axle weight only.
The difference between the two weights is the hitch weight.
KZRV suggests you also weigh each side (2 tires) separate to find
balance of pounds per side. It is possible to have 1 side correct and the
other side overloaded. Often, the slide side or refrigerator side will be
slightly heavier than the other side.
The second sticker is about the allowed weight of cargo to be placed in
your coach. Location of the sticker is on the inside of your coach, on the
screen door, or inside of a cabinet door. It provides listed total allowable
weight of cargo minus liquids allowed, water and propane.

Loading the Trailer - Distribution
Your recreational vehicle has been engineered to make maximum use of
the available space for living and storage areas. The equipment and
supplies you take along while traveling can be carried safely, provided
the additional weight is distributed properly. Proper weight distribution
within your trailer is an important factor in safety and efficiency of your
trailer brakes, hitching, and how your tow vehicle will pull the trailer. DO
NOT put excess weight in the rear only. Excessive weight in the rear area
tends to develop sway and “fishtailing” of the trailer.
