OVERVIEW
This manual has been prepared by Oliver Travel Trailers in conjunction with the
component manufacturers to provide information and instructions covering the
operation and maintenance of your travel trailer.
Read all component manuals and validate warranties by mailing the individual warranty
cards as some component manufacturers require. Always keep this owner’s manual with
your travel trailer for easy reference, making sure to comply with all notes and warnings. A
careful owner is the best insurance against an accident.
This owner’s manual is as current as possible at the time your travel trailer was produced.
However, since our products are constantly being upgraded and improved, some
standard items and/or options may vary. If this occurs, follow the separate component
manufacturer’s instructions provided in their literature.
We reserve the right to change the construction or material of any part(s) at any time
without incurring the obligation to install such changes on delivered units.
Oliver Travel Trailers, Inc. is furnishing you with this guideline to assist you through your
travels. If further assistance is needed, please contact our technical support department
at (888) 526-3978 during our normal business hours of Mon-Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM CST.
GETTING ACQUAINTED
Throughout the manufacturing process, your travel trailer has been inspected by
trained personnel and then again prior to delivery. Along with the new smell comes the
knowledge that you will be the first to set up camp and extensively use all the standard
and optional systems.
When traveling far from home you definitely do not want any unexpected surprises or
frustrating questions. Spend a weekend camping at home. Make a point to use and
become familiar with all the systems both inside and out. How long does the stored water
last? How much battery power does it take to keep your beverages ice cold? Find out
what camping items are really needed, or not needed at all.
Take note of any concerns or ideas you might have that would make things better. Call us
with your questions or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
Best Regards,
The Oliver Family

LP SYSTEM SAFETY
SAFETY REGULATIONS
These guidelines are for the safe usage of the LP gas systems and appliances.
The following warnings are posted throughout your recreational vehicle to provide
information on the LP gas system. They have been installed not only because of
requirements to do so but also as a constant reminder to our customers to exercise
proper caution when using or being around LP gas appliances and equipment. We are
listing them here so that you may study them and make sure that you and your family
understand and follow them.
⚠ WARNING DO NOT PLACE PROPANE CYLINDERS INSIDE THE
VEHICLE. PROPANE CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SAFETY DEVICES THAT RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE
BY DISCHARGING PROPANE IN TO THE ATMOSPHERE.
PROPANE GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. CAN LEAD TO A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
A warning label is located near the LP gas container. This label reads:
⚠ DANGER ALL PILOT LIGHTS, APPLIANCES, AND THEIR IGNITERS
(SEE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS) SHALL BE TURNED
OFF BEFORE REFUELING OF MOTOR FUEL TANKS AND/
OR PROPANE CONTAINERS. CAN CAUSE IGNITION OF
FLAMMABLE VAPORS, WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
⚠ WARNING DO NOT FILL PROPANE CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN
PERCENT OF CAPACITY. A PROPERLY FILLED CONTAINER
CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY PERCENT OF ITS VOLUME
AS LIQUID PROPANE.
OVERFILLING PROPANE CONTAINER(S) CAN RESULT IN
UNCONTROLLED PROPANE FLOW, WHICH COULD LEAD
TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
15
SAFETY
⚠ WARNING THE PROPANE PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE
WITH PROPANE ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT NATURAL
GAS TO THIS SYSTEM. SECURELY CAP INLET WHEN NOT
CONNECTED FOR USE. AFTER TURNING ON PROPANE,

SOLUTION. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN
AMMONIA OR CHLORINE TO TEST FOR LEAKS. CAN LEAD
TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
⚠ WARNING THE PROPANE REGULATOR MUST ALWAYS BE INSTALLED
WITH THE REGULATOR VENT FACING DOWNWARD. THE
PROPANE REGULATOR COVER MUST BE KEPT IN PLACE
TO MINIMIZE VENT BLOCKAGE THAT COULD RESULT
IN EXCESSIVE PROPANE PRESSURE CAUSING FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
⚠ WARNING DO NOT STORE ANY ITEMS THAT EMIT A SPARK OR A
FLAME IN THE COMPARTMENT! FAILURE TO ADHERE TO
THIS WARNING MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
ALL ITEMS MUST BE COMPLETELY SECURED!
The following labels has been placed in the trailer near the range area:
BEFORE COOKING:
• Turn on the main cabin exhaust fan. See the MaxxAir Fan operating instructions in
the manufacturer’s manual.
This warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an
adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply
in a travel trailer is limited and proper ventilation when using the cooking appliances will
avoid dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be
used for comfort heating as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is
used for long periods of time. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or death.
⚠ DANGER DO NOT USE GAS COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT
HEATING. CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,
WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

SAFETY
⚠ WARNING GAS COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE
OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATING:
• OPEN VENTS OR WINDOWS SLIGHTLY OR TURN ON
EXHAUST FAN PRIOR TO USING COOKING APPLIANCE.
• GAS FLAMES CONSUME OXYGEN, WHICH SHOULD BE
REPLACED TO ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION.
• IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
⚠ DANGER IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS AND
ALL SMOKING MATERIALS.
. SHUT OFF THE PROPANE SUPPLY AT THE CONTAINER
VALVE(S) OR PROPANE SUPPLY CONNECTION.

Fire safety is an important part of owning a recreational vehicle. The following basic rules
of fire prevention can reduce the possibility of a fire. Make sure that everyone in your
recreational vehicle is familiar with the location of exits, including the emergency exit
window, which is located at the rear of your travel trailer.
Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations:
• Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches or lighters away from children;
• Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;
• Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended;
• Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials;
• Never store flammable liquids in the recreational vehicle.
• Keep cooking surfaces clean.
• Never allow children to play with the LP gas or electrical equipment.
• Never use an open flame as a flashlight.
• Always repair faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components.
• Locate and repair LP leaks immediately.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Never clean with a flammable liquid.
• Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant liquid.
If a fire does start, make sure to follow these basic rules of safety.
1. Have everyone evacuate the recreational vehicle as quickly as possible.
2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is large,
(cannot get within 10 feet) or the fire is fuel-fed, get clear of the recreational vehicle
and have the fire department handle the emergency.
3. Make sure you know how to use the fire extinguisher. Read the label on the fire
extinguisher and study the information in this manual to become familiar with the
safe operation and maintenance of the extinguisher.
18
4. Feel doors before opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is cool, open it slowly
and check for fire and heat before you proceed. DO NOT open a hot door – use an
alternate escape route. Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Take short shallow breaths
through a wet cloth if possible.
DO NOT return to your trailer, until fire ocials say that it is safe.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there. Call
the Fire Department from outside of the travel trailer at a safe location.
EMERGENCY EGRESS REAR WINDOW
⚠ WARNING DO NOT UTILIZE THIS RV UNLESS FULLY SET UP AND
EMERGENCY EXITS ARE ACCESSIBLE. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
In the event of a fire or other emergency situation and you cannot exit the trailer from the
door, you can escape through the Emergency Egress Rear Window.
TO EXIT FROM THE EGRESS REAR WINDOW:
1. Push the TV up to secure it up and under the cabinet to gain access to the rear egress
window.
2. Raise the night shade and lower the day shade, exposing the window without a shade
in the way. (You can also pull the frame off the window if necessary)
3. At the bottom left of the window screen, pull the red tab to remove the screen from
the window.
4. Pull the red handles on the right and left sides of the window to unlock.
5. Push the window open and exit the trailer.

injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Trac Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Oliver Travel Trailers.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation and 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 Oliver Travel Trailers.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. USE OF A TOW VEHICLE
WITH A TOWING CAPACITY LESS THAN THE LOAD
RATING OF THE TRAILER CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF
CONTROL, AND MAY LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
• DO NOT TRANSPORT PEOPLE OR PETS INSIDE THE
TRAILERS. THE TRANSPORT OF PEOPLE PUTS THEIR
LIVES AT RISK AND MAY BE ILLEGAL.
• OVERLOADED TRAILERS CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF
CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE; THIS COULD LEAD TO
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
• DO NOT EXCEED THE TRAILER’S GROSS VEHICLE
WEIGHT (GVWR) OR AN AXLE’S GROSS AXLE WEIGHT
RATING (GAWR).
• ALWAYS TEST DRIVE YOUR HITCHED TOW VEHICLE
