This vehicle is equipped with the latest systems, appliances and operational equipment
making it considerably more complicated than a normal automobile.
The use of three way systems; 120V, 12V and propane needs careful consideration as the availability of energy in both the 12V
and propane systems has a limited capacity and volume. Due caution should be applied and in case of doubt, clarication
from the authorized Triple E dealer or our factory service department should be obtained.
Do not modify the unit in any way. Unauthorized modication may impair the function or life of the vehicle and could
lead to an accident. Modications that are not approved byTriple E may void the warranty and transfer responsibility
for the changes to the owner.
This manual is intended to be a guideline. This manual despite our best eorts should not be considered comprehensive
in all details. We invite you to use this manual to help you learn the basics about your vehicle. The component operation
instructions i.e. fridge, stove, etc. are incluced in the owner's information package.

2 SAFETY
Safety, comfort and ease of operationare key considerationsduring thedesign and manufacturing ofallTriple EMotorhomes.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read, understand and follow all instructions in the Motorhome, chassis
and appliance or auxiliary system manuals and from safety signs on the vehicle. Specic items, procedures or instructions
are identied with the key words IMPORTANT, CAUTION and WARNING to emphasize areas of special concern. These key
words are dened as:
IMPORTANT: This word is used to highlight or emphasize a specic procedure, information or result for a system or
the vehicle.
CAUTION: This word is used to highlight or emphasize a specic procedure or information that if not followed will
result in damage to a system or the vehicle.
WARNING: This word is used to highlight or emphasize a specic procedure or information that if not followed
can involve your personal safety as well as cause vehicle damage.
The safety glyph identies an area that involves the personal safety of the operator, passengers or a bystander. Always
read, understand and follow the instructions and information in the safety sign or manual instruction. Do not take chances
with safety. Most accidents can be prevented.
In this section we have compiled a series of items relating to safety that everyone should follow. Although this compilation
is thorough, we realize that it does not cover everything. Each person has the responsibility of following all listed safety
items covered in this and other manuals.
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY
1. The most important safety feature on this vehicle is a safe operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read, understand
and follow all safety and operating instructions in the vehicle, chassis, appliance and system manuals. Most accidents
can be prevented.
2. A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualied to operate this vehicle.
An untrained or uninformed operator exposes themselves, passengers and other drivers/vehicles/property to possible
serious injury or death and property damage.
3. Do not modify the vehicle in any way. Unauthorized modication may impair the function and/or safety and could
aect the life of the vehicle.
4. All approved driver and passenger seats are equipped with seat belts. When occupied while driving, each must be locked
in the forward facing direction. Each driver and passenger must occupy only the approved seats and fasten seat belts
when the unit is moving. Do not allow any passengers in the vehicle unless they have their seat belt attached while
in an approved seat. When the vehicle is moving, no one should be using the sleeping, cooking, bathroom, or living
areas.
5. Always fasten the seat belt low on the torso and keep it snug to transmit the force from the belt into the hip/pelvic
area of the body. Pregnant women should wear a lap/shoulder belt whenever possible. Wear the belt snug and low
throughout the pregnancy.
6. Review the location, function and operation of the escape window with everyone who will be riding in or using the
motorhome. Inspect the locking mechanism.
7. Establish a monthly re extinguisher inspection program to keep the extinguisher in good condition and fully charged.
Inspect the extinguisher again prior to a vacation or trip.
8. Always exercise extreme care and caution when climbing onto and walking on the roof.

CLASS B+& C MOTORHOME
18
2.2 DRIVING SAFETY
1. Only trained and licensed drivers are allowed to drive this vehicle.
2. Observe all applicable road and driving regulations. Check with local transport authorities if you have any questions.
3. Inspect the vehicle before driving. Adjust, repair or replace components or systems to maintain vehicle in good driving
condition. Do not drive the motorhome unless it is in good condition.
4. Do not make adjustments such as seat position, tilt steering wheel etc. while driving.
5. A motorhome is considerably larger and heavier than an automobile and results in dierent handling characteristics.
Allow more space for stopping, turning, passing, parking, accelerating etc. during operation. The extra height results in
dierent stability characteristics. Drive at a slower speed when turning, cornering or on rough terrain. Use extra care
in adverse conditions such as rain, darkness, snow, sleet, icy surface, hilly terrain, rough roads or soft surfaces. When
towing a vehicle or trailer allow for extra starting and stopping time. See Section 3.1.3 for vehicle or trailer towing.
6. Maintain brakes in top condition at all times. Allow extra distance for stopping. Be extra vigilant in adverse surface
conditions such as wet, icy, slushy, rough or a soft surface when applying the brakes. After going through water, slush
or snow, apply the brakes carefully in an open area to check if one side grabs. Use gentle pedal pressure to dry the
brakes and restore uniform operation. Do not operate vehicle if uneven brake action persists.
2.3 FUEL (MOTOR AND LP GAS)
1. Do not smoke when lling vehicle fuel tank, generator fuel tank or LP gas tank.
2. Extinguish all pilot lights before refuelling.
3. Do not ll the LP gas tank when the generator is running.
4. Do not bring or store fuel or LP gas containers, gasoline or other ammable liquids in the vehicle. Vapours can be released
causing breathing diculties or an explosion or re. LP gas containers vent excess pressure into the atmosphere.
5. Do not ll LP gas containers more than 80% of capacity. Overlling can lead to excessive venting or gas ow and result
in an explosion or re.
6. Do not use an open ame to check for an LP gas leak. Use soapy water and watch for the bubbles. Close valve on tank
and latch all covers, caps and doors after lling system.
7. Do not connect natural gas to the LP system.
8. Install LP gas regulators with the pressure regulator vent facing downward. Do not obstruct vent hole. In cold weather,
condensation can get into the regulator and cause freeze-up. Use a light bulb to thaw out. Do not use an open ame
or heat lamp to thaw out.
9. Turn igniter knob to create a spark at the burner when burner is turned on. Large volumes of gas can lead to an explosion
and re if igniter is not turned when the burner is turned on. Turn burner o and let gas dissipate before trying to relight
if it does not light immediately.
10. Do not use the furnace when the vehicle is moving. Turn the gas o at the LP container.
11. Do not obstruct LP gas compartment when parking to provide access to master valve to gas system. Open access allows
emergency workers to close master valve if an emergency occurs.
