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
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. 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 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 toknow 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.

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 road
way 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 logs 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.
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.

9
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.
Continuous living in your recreational vehicle could cause
accelerated wear to components above recreational use.
