INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended to be supplemental to the primary 'Owner’s Manual' supplied with your new RV
which is included within the Owner Information Packet. Throughout this manual you may find reference
directing you to the primary owner’s manual for further information and instruction. The contents of this
manual will provide you with information specific to your ramp model RV and will not include the basic
functions of the RV. Please refer to your primary owner’s manual for basic RV features, functionality,
and warranty coverage. Read through the entirety of this manual prior to using your RV as some
functionalities explained within are dependent upon learning operating procedures of other functions to
operate them successfully.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Shown below are various hazard warnings you will find throughout this manual. They are used to alert
you to potentially dangerous or hazardous situations. When you see these symbols, please read them
carefully, and follow their instructions to help prevent damage to your recreational vehicle and for your
personal safety as well as others nearby.
Please be advised that this ramp model RV has many potential ‘pinch points’ in different areas that may
cause injury if not made aware of. Some but not all of these might include the ramp door, patio railings,
patio side step, electric bunk lift system, roof access ladder, and patio doors. Please familiarize yourself
and any users that may operate this equipment in an effort to minimize potential injury.
 DANGER indicates an immediately hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
 WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
 CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
 NOTICE is used to address particularly important information that is
not necessarily injury related and may include situations involving
property damage or issues which may void warranty.

CARGO AREA SAFETY
The following label has been placed on the interior near the main entry door that reads:
DO NOT REMOVE THIS LABEL
Cargo Area Ventilation System
The cargo area of your ramp model RV is equipped with special 'ram-air' venting at each sidewall (one
located high and the other located low), that provides for fresh air flow to the cargo area while traveling.
When used properly the two vents, as a system, create a flow of fresh air that effectively ventilates
gasoline and exhaust vapors from the interior cargo space. Keep in mind however that gasoline, oils and
exhaust vapors may permeate interior items such as curtains, fabrics, bedding, and even paneling and
cabinetry materials. Venting the cargo area may not remove or prevent petroleum odors from eventual
build-up in your RV. The best method is to keep the cargo area well ventilated from the very beginning
of ownership.
Using the ram-air vents
The vents must be opened from the interior. Move the handle either forward or rearward in the desired
direction. The handle will stop in either position and will be locked in place until closed. The ram-air
system works most effectively when the forward vent is opened toward the front of the RV to create a
scooping effect while the rear vent is positioned with the opening toward the rear. These vent positions
create an air flow that scoops fresh air into the cargo area and draws vapors out the rear vent.

CARGO LOADING AND RAMP USAGE
Weight Distribution
Loaded RV's must remain within GVWR and GAWR limits. However, proper load distribution is of
particular importance for cargo ramp RV's. Cargo ramp RV's are designed to carry a variety of vehicles
and cargo in the cargo storage area. These cargo items are typically heavy, and consideration must be
given to how they are loaded. Because the greatest storage area is at the rear of the vehicle the biggest
concern is maintaining the correct hitch weight percentage. Vehicles loaded incorrectly can have too
little weight resting on the hitch and can become unstable when towing. Refer to the 'Distributing Your
Load' section of the 'On The Road' chapter in your primary owner’s manual for more specific
information. Also consult with your tow vehicle manufacturer for their recommendations regarding tow
vehicle and its proper set-up.
Cargo Placement
Large heavy items should be loaded where they can be securely tied down. Once you have the heavy
items located, check the hitch weight. If the hitch weight is significantly more or less than as outlined
above and in the 'Distributing Your Load' section of your primary owner’s manual, make the necessary
adjustments to get close. Then other smaller items can be brought in and placed accordingly to bring the
hitch weight into the recommended range. Smaller items should be located so that they do not move
during travel. Don't forget that it is possible to load one side heavier than the other. Doing this can create
a very hazardous situation when cornering as well as potentially overload the tires. Top heavy loads can
cause problems not only in cornering but also in hard braking. They tend to make the RV 'dive' in hard
braking conditions. This suddenly increases tongue weight and can decrease tow vehicle front axle
loading just when you need steering and brakes the most. Never place heavy objects or add-on devices
hung on the rear or placed across the tongue A-frame. These locations place heavy objects where they
will dramatically affect handling in corners or bumps.
 Exceeding the GAWR or GVWR of your tow vehicle or RV can cause
undesirable handling characteristics and may create a safety hazard.
Do not install any type of weight carrying rack, frame, or hitch to
any part of the chassis, or body component of the RV unless specified
by Outdoors RV. Add-ons such as these may void your warranty on
structural components.
 Do not store or carry propane containers, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids inside your RV.
 Consult with your tow vehicle manufacturer for their
recommendations regarding tow vehicle and its proper set-up.
 Move cargo and/or vehicles to maintain proper balance. Do not
exceed GVWR (total weight rating) or GAWRs (axle weight ratings)
of the trailer or tow vehicle.
 Please check with your tow vehicle manufacturer for your towing
specifications.

Ramp Model Features
Ramp Loading Awareness
The cargo loading ramp gives you complete access to the cargo area. When lowered, the loading ramp
allows you to easily load rolling cargo such as bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts or side-by-side
UTVs. This section outlines safety precautions you should be aware of when loading and unloading
cargo and vehicles.
Take caution when using the loading ramp of your RV. There are a few potentially hazardous conditions
you should be aware of:
 Ramps and Inclines: With the ramp down and in loading position you may experience steep
inclines that will transition to near flat as you enter the RV. Use caution while walking across
this transition.
 Dissimilar Surfaces: Your loading ramp has a textured surface that provides additional 'traction'
while walking up and down the inclined surface. This textured surface, as you will notice, is a bit
different feel that that of the flooring material on the cargo area floor and again in the kitchen
area. Be aware of these surface transitions as they may potentially cause you to lose your footing.
Additionally the textured surface of the ramp, however 'gritty' it may feel, may become slightly
slippery when wet or oily.
 Awkward, Heavy, or Unbalanced Loads: Carrying objects or driving vehicles up and down the
incline of the ramp may cause a feeling of un-balance. Proceed up the ramp cautiously until you
are completely onto the main floor of the RV.
 Trailer Creep: This is a potential situation where the tongue jack may come off the ground and
the RV begins to roll when loading extremely heavy objects. See 'Loading Procedure'' for
instruction preventing this scenario.
 Ramp Maximum Capacity: The ramp maximum capacity is 3000 lbs. in the ramp position with
the load evenly distributed and a maximum 1000 lbs. per wheel contact. Exceeding load limits
may lead to collapse and possible injury and will void the ramp warranty.
Safety Items to Consider While Loading Motorized Vehicles
 Inspect ramp assist cable connections for wear and latching mechanism for proper operation
before each trip. Have adjusted or repaired as required before using.
 Wear protective equipment while loading and unloading vehicles into and out of the RV. This
includes but not limited to a motorcycle type helmet, leather boots, appropriate gloves, and eye
protection.
 Never allow people or pets to stand in the path of equipment when loading or unloading. Keep
bystanders away from the ramp when loading or unloading.
 Keep body parts completely clear of the ramp door hinge pinch area at all times.
 Verify operation of parking brakes on any vehicles you are loading or unloading.
 Inspect ramp and floor surfaces for water or oils that may cause slippery situations.
 The following conditions could lead to a potentially hazardous
situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Take the time to read and understand these situations and the
following safety items...

Ramp Model Features
Loading Ramp Operation
Your loading ramp incorporates two compression latch handles, one on each side of the ramp which
serve to provide ramp securement while traveling and as a grab handle when lowering the ramp. The
compression latches can be locked from the exterior as well.
Opening the ramp first requires that you release the compression latches (unlock if necessary). Pull each
handle outward then rotate 90 degrees to unlatch. At this time you may then open the ramp door.
Before closing the ramp, ensure that the compression handle latch (inside) is rotated to clear the ramp
frame and that the ramp support cables are tucked inside and out of the way.
Loading Procedure
1. Hitch the RV to the tow vehicle before loading and unloading heavy objects into the cargo area.
Select a parking site where the ramp bumpers, when ramp is opened, will rest on a flat surface.
You will want to minimize twisting or bending of the ramp framework. This bit of preventative
awareness will extend the life of your loading ramp greatly.
2. Set the tow vehicle parking brake and locate wheel chocks in front and behind the RV tires on at
least one axle, both sides of the RV. DO NOT use the emergency breakaway switch on the RV.
3. Lower the rear stabilizer jacks on the RV.
4. Fully raise electric bunk/sofa assembly. Refer to 'Bunk Lift Operation and Safety' further on in
this manual.
5. Remove and store the carpet kit and any tables that may be installed. Locate and ready all
necessary tie-down straps.
6. Unlock the loading ramp and lower it to the ground.
7. You may then swing out the patio railing and open the patio doors to allow full access into the
cargo area. See corresponding sections for additional information on operating the patio feature.
8. Depending upon the cargo you expect to carry you may need to plan ahead for positioning your
cargo to make best use of tie-down ring locations and to verify that you will be able to fit
everything into place.
9. Use extreme caution when loading or unloading ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles or other motorized
vehicles. These machines are generally heavy and may be hot from operation and/or covered
with dirt, oil, or other substances that may make them slippery.
10. Make sure that the door seals and hinge area are free of any debris such as mud or snow before
closing the loading ramp.
 Ramp Maximum Capacity: The ramp maximum capacity is 3000 lbs.
in the ramp position with the load evenly distributed and a maximum
1000 lbs. per wheel contact. Exceeding load limit may lead to
collapse and possible injury.

Ramp Model Features
Loading Motorized Vehicles
Always follow the instructions in the owner’s manual for the motorized vehicles you will be hauling. If
not available, the following suggestions provide you with a generalized procedure for loading.
1. Follow the 'Loading Ramp Operation and Procedure' listed above.
2. Shift vehicle into its lowest gear before ascending ramp.
3. Approach straight on, not at an angle. If you are off to one side and the ground is uneven where
the ramp touches the ground, an unbalanced situation can occur.
4. Align front wheels with ramp so that the vehicle will be driven straight in.
5. The operator should apply slight throttle smoothly and climb the ramp at low speed. Too much
or sudden increases in throttle will cause the vehicle to be harder to control and may cause the
vehicle to impact cabinetry inside the RV or flip over backwards.
6. Stop when you have reached the location in which you have planned to secure your vehicle with
the cargo tie-down rings.
7. After loading, close fuel valves on gasoline powered vehicles. Put in park. Turn ignition key off.
Set parking brake. For manual clutch vehicles, leave parked in reverse or low gear with brake
set.
Cargo Tie-Down Rings
The cargo area of your ramp model RV is equipped with cargo tie-down rings that must be used when
transporting heavier items that will likely roll or tip while traveling. Tie-down straps are not included
with your RV and must be purchased separately. Cargo tie-down rings are rated at 2500 lbs. maximum
loading capacity however structural limitations to the RV floor may reduce that maximum rating. Do not
over tighten tie-down straps as this may cause damage to the attachment hardware, floor structure
and cargo. Use tie-down straps rated in excess of the weight of the cargo to be secured. Be sure to attach
and secure each tie-down strap so that it cannot come loose, unfastened, opened or released while the
RV is in motion. Also use edge protection whenever a tie-down strap could be damaged or cut at the
point where it touches a sharp or rough edge of any cargo item.
Top heavy items will likely need additional strapping as they are very likely to tip over when turning,
braking or accelerating. It is important to use enough tie-down straps to secure your load so that it will
not move in any direction. Keep handlebars, mirrors, etc. away from interior walls. Interior walls and
cabinet finishes can be damaged by items working loose and rubbing. This type of damage is not
covered under warranty.
Secure the Load
Some vehicles or equipment may benefit by locating 'chock' blocks in front and rear of its tires to help
minimize any shifting. Adding chocks is strictly an additional safety precaution and does not reduce the
need for strapping the cargo in securely.
Secure the vehicle with tie-downs straps. A minimum of four straps, (one at each corner) is
recommended. The attachments points you select on your equipment must be strong enough to support
the weight of the equipment. If securing ATV, UTV, motorcycle or other vehicle, refer to your vehicles
owner’s manual for specific securement locations. Any attachment to a decorative piece of chrome or
plastic will usually not be a good tie-down point and may cause damage to your equipment and RV.
While transporting, motorized cargo with manual transmissions should be left in first or reverse gear.
Vehicles with automatic transmissions should be left in the 'Park' position.

7
Ramp Model Features
The vehicles ignition key should be turned off and removed, the parking brake set, the run/stop switch in
the stop or off position and the fuel lever turned to the off position.
Unloading Motorized Vehicles
The safest method of unloading is to push the vehicle to the ramp, allowing it to roll down the ramp
while carefully braking to ensure control of the vehicle. If you loaded your vehicle forward, front in, that
means that you will unload it in reverse. Driving a motorized vehicle in reverse down the ramp is not
recommended. A slight turn of the handlebars or a slip of the wheel can cause your vehicle to fall, tip or
roll sideways. If you are on the vehicle you can be injured or killed.
Unload the vehicle safely as follows:
1. Be sure the back tires of the vehicle are aligned squarely with the ramp, and there are no people,
pets or obstructions in the unloading area at the end of the ramp. Ensure that the ground surface
will support the vehicle, and that the vehicle cannot roll away uncontrolled.
2. Stand at the front of the vehicle.
3. Push the vehicle backward in line with the ramp.
4. As the rear tires start down the ramp let it roll slowly backwards, braking enough to control the
speed but not so much as to skid and lose control.
ON-BOARD FUEL STATION
Fuel Transfer System
The fuel transfer system allows you to store gasoline for use in motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV's or
other vehicles and equipment while at a campsite. This system consists of a fuel tank, fuel tank fill neck
with cap, fuel gauge, fuel transfer pump, fuel transfer master shut-off switch with timer, and fill hose
with nozzle.
This system also includes, as required by C.A.R.B. (California Air Resources Board), a charcoal carbon
canister which contains and recycles gasoline vapor emissions that may otherwise escape into the
atmosphere. The fuel pump master switch housing, which is located near the fuel station compartment,
also contains a fuel gauge to allow monitoring the fuel level in the tank.
To fill the on-board fuel tank, remove the filler cap and fill the tank with the grade of gasoline required
by your equipment. Note: This fueling system is designed to be used with unleaded fuel only. ECI
fuel systems are not meant to be used with unleaded gasoline with more than 15% ethanol blend.
When replacing the fuel fill cap, be sure it seats squarely and firmly onto the fill pipe neck.
 Any damage to the RV caused by inadequately secured cargo will not
be considered for warranty coverage.
 Exceeding the Cargo Carrying Capacity of the RV or its loading
ramp may void warranties.

Ramp Model Features
Fuel Transfer System Safety
Static electricity related incidents when refueling are extremely unusual. They appear to happen most
often during cool or cold and dry climate conditions. In rare circumstances, these static related incidents
have resulted in a brief flash fire occurring at the fuel fill point. You can minimize these and other
potential fueling hazards by following safe refueling procedures.
A build-up of static electricity can be caused by reentering a vehicle during refueling. If you return to
the fuel fill pipe during refueling, the static may discharge at the fill point, causing a flash fire or small
sustained fire with gasoline vapors. If you cannot avoid getting back into the vehicle, always touch a
metal part of the vehicle with a bare hand, such as the door, or some other metal surface, away from the
fill point upon exiting the vehicle.
Here are some additional refueling safety guidelines when refueling your vehicle or filling gasoline
storage containers:
 Turn off vehicle engine: Disable or turn off any auxiliary sources of ignition: the RV furnace,
water heater, cooking appliances, and any pilot lights. Turn off main propane valve.
 Do not smoke, light matches or lighters while operating the refueling system, or when using
gasoline anywhere else.
 Never jam or otherwise try to lock the refueling lever 'open' on the nozzle.
 Do not re-enter your vehicle during refueling. If you cannot avoid reentering your vehicle,
discharge any static build-up BEFORE reaching for the nozzle by touching something metal with
a bare hand, such as the body or frame, away from the nozzle.
 In the unlikely event a static caused fire occurs when refueling, leave the nozzle in the fill pipe
and back away from the vehicle. Turn off the fuel pump master switch immediately.
 Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle tank, which can cause gasoline spillage.
 Never allow children under licensed driving age to operate the pump.
 Avoid prolonged breathing of gasoline vapors. Use gasoline only in open areas that get plenty of
fresh air. Keep your face away from the nozzle or container opening.
 Never siphon gasoline by mouth. Never put gasoline in your mouth for any reason. Gasoline can
be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Contact an emergency medical service provider immediately.
 Keep gasoline away from your eyes and skin; it may cause irritation.
 Remove gasoline soaked clothing immediately.
 Use gasoline as a motor fuel only. Never use gasoline to wash your hands or as a cleaning
solvent.
 All pilot lights, appliances, and their igniters (see operating
instructions) shall be turned off before refueling of motor fuel tanks
and/or propane containers.
 Before dispensing fuel, turn off all engines, fuel-burning appliances,
and their igniters (see operating instructions).
 Do not dispense fuel within 20 ft (6.1m) of an ignition source.
 Can cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or
explosion and result in death or serious injury.

Ramp Model Features
Fuel Transfer System Operation
1. Lower the RV tongue jack to the ground. This will help to reduce the possibility of static
discharge while refueling.
2. Close any vents and/or windows in the vicinity of the fueling station to prevent fuel vapor from
entering the RV.
3. Turn the fuel transfer pump switch ON. This will provide power to the fuel pump. It also sets an
internal timer that allows the pump to operate up to 5 minutes. When the pump stops, it will be
necessary to reset the pump switch by turning it off then back on to allow an additional 5 minutes
of run time.
4. Remove the fuel hose and nozzle from its compartment.
5. Place the nozzle into the equipment fuel filler and squeeze the handle to allow fuel to flow. Be
careful not to overfill the equipment fuel tank.
6. When finished, release the nozzle handle and return the nozzle and hose to its compartment and
shut off the pump switch. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
7. Lock the fuel transfer nozzle compartment door to prevent unauthorized use. The nozzle
compartment must be locked at all times when not dispensing fuel.
It is recommended that the fuel pump be operated at least once a month to keep the system functioning
properly.
GASOLINE GENERATOR
Your ramp model RV includes a 4.0 KW (4000 watts) gasoline generator intended for use when
camping 'off-grid' or remote areas where no 120 volt service is available. Gasoline fuel for the generator
is supplied from the On-Board Fuel Station. See operating manual on DVD included in your owner
information packet for specific operation and maintenance.
QUICK ACCESS HOME DEFENSE SAFE

 CHECK to be sure the locking pins are securely fastened at both ends of each sofa regardless of
sofa position.
 ALWAYS raise the bunk and sofa(s) to the FULL UP or FULL DOWN position when the RV is
being towed to avoid damaging the bunk and/or sofa(s) as a result of bouncing. If additional
cargo height is needed you may secure sofa(s) in the STORAGE position (against the wall) with
backrest travel lock placed in the LOCK position and locking pins secured (See accompanying
photos).
 NEVER operate the bunk lift with any items other than bedding on the bunk mattress.
 NEVER travel with any items other than bedding on the bunk. Loose items can become
projectiles.
 NEVER operate the bunk lift while any person(s) are on the bunk platform or sofa(s).
 ALWAYS ensure that the area above, below and adjacent to the bunk lift is free from
obstructions before operating.
 ALWAYS check before operating bunk lift to ensure bedding is not over-hanging the ends of the
bunk where it could become entangled or caught up in the mechanism.
 ALWAYS use care when loading cargo or vehicles in the area of the bunk lift to avoid damage
to the bunk lift mechanism.
 ALWAYS properly secure loads in the area of the bunk lift to avoid damage to the bunk lift
mechanism from shifting or falling loads.
ROOF ACCESS LADDER
Ladder Operation
The roof access ladder which is located at the driver side of your ramp model RV is a stow-able ladder
that unfolds away from the sidewall to provide access to the roof. Remove the travel safety pins, pull
ladder toward you and down until the ladder is firmly in place. Before driving away ensure that the
ladder is stowed in the folded position against the sidewall and both travel safety pins are fully
inserted.
EXTERIOR HI-PRESSURE SPRAYER
Your ramp model RV is equipped with an exterior sprayer hose and nozzle that provides an adjustable
hi-pressure spray pattern that works great for hosing off muddy or dusty 4-wheelers, motorcycles and
other equipment prior to loading into your ramp model RV.
The sprayer system uses a stand-alone high-pressure water pump independent of your primary water line
system. It draws water from your on-board freshwater tank only and is not interconnected to the
city/park pressurized water lines in your RV. For the sprayer to function, it will require that there be
water in your fresh water holding tank. See additional literature supplied in your owner information
packet.

Ramp Model Features
Exterior Hi-Pressure Sprayer Operation
1. Ensure that you have an adequate amount of water in your fresh water holding tank to complete
your spraying needs and still have enough water remaining for the rest of your campout.
2. Locate the coiled sprayer hose and spray nozzle and connect to the exterior spray port adjacent to
the high-pressure water pump/air compressor compartment on the exterior driver side of your
RV.
3. To make the connection, first open the cover to expose the hose connector inside. The connector
has an outer sleeve that must be pushed inward while simultaneously inserting the male hose end
into the spray port connector. When completely inserted, release the outer sleeve. Hose should
remain locked into place in the spray port connector.
4. Turn 'ON' the power switch located inside the water pump/air compressor compartment.
5. After a few short moments the water line will have pressurized and you can begin using the
sprayer.
6. The nozzle spray pattern is adjustable much in the same way as the sprayer you would use on
your garden hose at home.
7. When finished, turn 'OFF' the pump switch. Open sprayer nozzle to eliminate pressure in the
hose and also to allow water to drain.
ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
The on-board air compressor system is an optionally installed feature which allows you to air up tires
and can be used to blow compressed air (air blower nozzle not included). The system includes air hose,
tire chuck with built-in pressure gauge, air compressor pump and air reserve tank. See additional
literature supplied in your owner information packet.
The air compressor and its connection are located in the water pump/air compressor compartment on the
exterior driver side of your RV.
Air Compressor Operation
1. Locate the coiled air hose and connect to the air fitting adjacent to the air compressor inside its
compartment.
2. Similar to the hi-pressure sprayer, the air hose fitting has an outer sleeve that must be pushed
inward while simultaneously inserting the male hose end into the connector. When completely
inserted, release the outer sleeve. Hose should remain locked into place in the fitting.
3. If inflating tires, attach the provided tire air chuck into the other end of the coiled hose. This
connection is performed the same way at each end of the hose.
4. Turn 'ON' air compressor switch. The air compressor pump will come on. Allow a few minutes
for the air tank and hose to pressurize if system has not yet been used.
5. When the air compressor pump has stopped you will have full air pressure and can begin using.
6. Remember to turn air compressor switch 'OFF' when finished using.
Note: This kit is NOT designed to run air powered tools. The compressor is designed to run at a 20%
duty cycle with a maximum run time of 6 minutes. You must allow adequate time for the compressor
motor to cool between cycles. The air compressor pump is equipped with an air filter that must be
inspected periodically to ensure that is does not become clogged with dust and/or debris. Clean and dry
filter or replace.

FULL−VIEW PATIO DOORS
Operating Procedure
The patio doors equipped on your ramp model RV provide additional ventilation and lighting as well as
full access to the cargo area. Door glass can be raised and lowered similar to the screen door at your
home. The glass can also be removed for cleaning and stowing if desired. Remember to always lower all
glass panels to their lowest position (screen open) before travel. The patio doors can be opened two
different ways, outward for loading the cargo area or by sliding the panels for normal passage onto the
ramp. At the top of each door set on the interior side you will find a bolt latch with release strap that
locks each side into their closed position. Pull the release strap to unlatch and open doors outward from
their closed position. When returning the doors to their closed position, ensure that each door has been
positioned onto its sliding guide track located on the exterior at the top of each door before attempting to
latch. When properly latched doors will slide open and closed for normal passage onto the ramp. For
security purposes the doors can be locked from the inside only.
IN−FLOOR STORAGE COMPARTMENT (If Equipped)
The in-floor storage compartment provides a heavy-duty steel storage space perfect for tie-down straps,
tools, or equipment that you may not want store in other areas of your RV. The compartment is strong
enough that it can be driven on with four-wheelers and side-by-sides without risk of damage. DO NOT
STORE GASOLINE OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS IN THIS COMPARTMENT OR INSIDE YOUR
RV AT ANY TIME.
Shown at the right is the top of the patio
door positioned with its guide bracket in
the guide track (viewed from ramp side).
When closing the patio doors from the
open loading position, be sure that the
guide bracket is positioned in the track
otherwise the door may become damaged
while attempting to latch it closed.
 Doors must be latched, and all glass panels in down position during
travel.
