Propane
Purchase propane from a reputable propane facility. Contaminated propane is a common cause of system failure
and is not covered under any warranty.
Propane
The BBQ quick disconnect (If Equipped) is regulated to 10 P.S.I. Please ensure that all devices connected to this
are either rated for high "pressure" or have their own regulator. Many grills sold in the United States are "low
pressure" (1/2 P.S.I.) and will require an additional regulator to step the pressure down to a useable level. If
hooked directly to the BBQ quick disconnect, there will be a severe fire hazard.
Propane Leak
Detector
Do not block the air circulation in the area where the Propane Leak Detector is located.
Propane Leak
Detector
Battery disconnect switch must be in the "ON" position for the propane detector to function.
Flammable
Liquids and
Gasses
Do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside your vehicle.
Heating

Roadtrek Inc.

11
Battery
Battery acid can burn your skin and damage clothing. Protective eye wear and gloves should be worn while
handling batteries. Effective June 2010, all Roadtrek Inc installed batteries are sealed AGM or Lithium
batteries that do not require the addition of water.
Battery
Disconnect the inverter/charger prior to disconnecting the auxiliary battery.
Generator
The Roadtrek is supplied with an optional DC generator located either behind the rear axle on the driver’s side or
in the engine compartment. Never submerge the generator. Use a spotter when launching a boat or crossing
streams.
Waste Water
Storage and
Dumping
Close the black water gate valve before using the waste water system.
Freezing
Under moderate subfreezing conditions, antifreeze is required in the exterior fresh water, grey water and the
black waste water tank. Use RV antifreeze in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Electrical
Servicing
This unit has a 12-VoltDC, 110VAC and optional 36-volt solar system. These systems need to be disconnected
before working on them.
Before You Head Out
Your new Roadtrek is ready to go with just a little bit of preparation. To prepare for your first trip, you should:
•Read this manual.
•Contact your dealer with any questions.
•Plan your trip.
Then use this quick checklist:
•The day before your trip:
oCharge your RV batteries by plugging in overnight. (*With your standard Lithium batteries, your inverter must be in the On position.*)
oCool your refrigerator by turning it on.
oChill any beverages or other refrigerated items in your home refrigerator.
oFlush and fill your fresh water tank with clean tap water.
•The day of the trip:
oLoad the refrigerator with beverages and other perishable items (from your home refrigerator).
Roadtrek Inc.

12
Coming Home
When you come home, there are a few maintenance tasks you should do to get your Roadtrek ready to go for next time. Refer to other sections in
this manual for the procedures listed here.
•On your way home, dump the grey and black waste water tank at a convenient facility. See the HOW TO’s: Waste Water Dumping for a
concise description of the procedure to do this. Some RV parks and gas stations will let you dump for a fee, some city wastewater plants
will let you dump for free but there is no real pattern, so local knowledge is vital in locating dump stations.
•The website http://www.sanidumps.com is a good resource. The website with maps for each state and province is
http://www.sanidumps.com/maps/help.php.
•At home, flush the water tank and fill it with fresh chlorinated water if you will be using it in the next few days. Otherwise, drain the tank.
Don't let water you are planning to use sit in your tank for more than a week or so, and don't let any water sit in your tank for more than
two weeks, whether you plan on using it or not. Over time, the chlorine evaporates allowing bacteria to grow.
•To flush the tank, fill it using the fill port located on the driver's side body panel located just behind the front axle under the running board
or the gravity fill located on the passenger side front door pillar. (See images below) (Picture 12.2).

Coming Home (Continued)
•Plug in the shoreline connection overnight to fully charge batteries.
•Turn off and clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to let it air out.
•If you plan on storing your Roadtrek for an extended period, turn off the Battery Disconnect Switch and the Inverter Switch to keep from
draining your AGM or optional Lithium battery(ies).
•* If you turn everything off, your solar panels (If Equipped), will keep your coach batteries charged to a safe level while your Roadtrek is
parked.
oSolar panels will only keep your Roadtrek charged when parked outside.
•If you don't turn everything off, even with solar panels, you will probably come back to dead batteries.
oBecause electronic systems on your coach need small amounts of electricity even when off, the batteries will completely be drained
over a period of time.
oWith optional Lithium batteries, the battery switch(es) need to be on so the solar panel(s) can provide a charge to them. Turn the
switch(es) off at the end of the day to maintain the battery charge.
•If you are not planning on storing your coach for an extended period, it is recommended that you plug in your coach to charge the batteries
to keep them from draining.
oPlug your coach into a dedicated power outlet. (Dedicated outlets supply a cleaner line of electricity supplied to the coach) (Picture
14.1 On Next Page)
oTurn on your battery disconnect switch. (Picture 14.2 On Next Page)
oIf your motorhome is equipped with Roadtrek’s optional EcoTrek Lithium battery system, turn on your Lithium Battery switches and
make sure theblue light is illuminated. (Picture 14.3 On Next Page)
oTurn your inverter to the On position. (Picture 14.4 On Next Page)

Interior Living Space
Do not attempt to close the cabinet doors while the latch button is pressed in. This could break the latch. Always make sure the button is
out before attempting to close a cabinet door. (Picture 15.2)
It is not recommended to keep large, round, and/or heavy objects in a cabinet unsecured as they may roll around and apply excessive
pressure to the inside of the cabinet doors as you drive. The objects may shift position with vehicle motion and cause injury when the
cabinets are opened. For this reason, Roadtrek recommends that you are aware of the weight and stability of objects that you store in
overhead cabinets.
The cabinet hinges may go out of adjustment due to heavy weight stored in the cabinet, experience large swings in temperature or
humidity, frequent travel on bumpy roads at high speeds frequently and sometimes as part of normal wear and tear. You will know the
cabinet is out of adjustment when it will not open with the button out, or not latch with the button in.

Cabinets
Your Roadtrek is equipped with cabinet latches which
prevent the door from opening while the vehicle is in
motion. The push buttons on the cabinet latches toggle
from latched (button in) (Picture 15.1) to unlatched
(button out) (Picture 15.2) by pressing the button.
To open a cabinet, press the button to unlatch and pull
gently on the button, and the cabinet door will open.
To close a cabinet, make sure the latch is still open
(button out), then close the door. Once the cabinet door
is closed, press the latch button in to lock the cabinet.
Roadtrek Inc.

16
Cabinets Continued
To open a cabinet stuck shut with the button out, apply pressure UPWARD with your thumbs on both bottom corners of the cabinet door while
simultaneously applying gentle pressure to open it, as shown above left. (Picture 16.1)
DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR OPEN BY PULLING OR PRYING ON IT - you will break the latch.
The screw in the top part of the hinge nearest the pivot point adjusts the vertical location of the door (Picture 16.2). Screw out to raise the door
and screw in to lower the door or fix doors that won't stay shut when latched, as shown above left.
Cabinet Adjustment
The screw on the long bracket hinge is used to apply or reduce the friction needed on your cabinet door to open and close the cabinet door
smoothly. Using an allen wrench, turn the screw to the right to tighten the hinge and put more friction on your cabinet door. Turn the screw to the
left to loosen the pressure that is applied and allow for the cabinet to be opened with less force. (Picture 16.2.)
Apply Moderate Upward Pressure and
Gentle Outward Pressure with One or Two
Fingers on the Bottom Corners of the Door
to Open a Stuck Cabinet.
Adjustments to the Cabinet Hinges Will
Allow for Tightening and to Loosen the
Friction Required to Open and Close the
Cabinet Door.
