STORAGE
Exterior
Compartments
Extedor storage compartments should accommo-
date most
of
your storage needs. All
of
the stor-
age compartments, except the
LP gas tank
compartment, can be locked. Fire prevention reg-
ulations require that the
LP gas tank compattment
be unlocked at
all
times.
Please note: Your motor home could be over-
loaded or out
of
balance
if
not properly loaded.
Refer to the
Motor Home Loading section
of
the
011
The
Road
chapter
of
this manual, and follow
the loading and weighing instructions in that
section. When storing equipment and supplies:
• Always keep tools and equipment stored in
areas where they will not shift while
traveling.
• Whenever possible, place heavy articles in
storage compartments which are low and in
the best location for weight distribution.
Pack articles carefully in the storage
compartments to minimize shifting.
If
nec-
essary, use straps to prevent movement.
•
Be
sure liquid containers are capped and
cannot tip or spill.
• Secure all glass containers and dishes
before traveling.
• Exterior storage compartments may not be
watertight in all conditions. Carry any arti-
cles which could be damaged by water
inside the motor home.
WARNING
Do
not store flammable, volatile liquids or hazardous
chemicals inside the motor home or
in
outside stor-
age compartments. Toxic fumes from these
liquids or
chemicals may enter the interior of the motor home.

pull open.
Closets may be equipped with 12-volt lights that

SLIDE-OUT ROOMS
(If
Equipped)
Your new motor home may be equipped with an
optional slide-out room. The slide-out room(s)
are designed
to
provide additional living space.
A detailed operating and maintenance guide is
included
in
your Owner's Illformation Package.
Read all instrnctions for these systems carefully
before operating the slide-onts.
In some installations it may be necessary to
slide the driver's seat to the full forward position
and place the seat back in the full upright posi-
tion prior to moving the slide-out room in or out
to prevent the room from striking or
rnbbing
against the seat back.
For operation
of
the slide-out room the follow-
ing is required:
• Transmission in neutral
• Parking brake engaged
• Slide-out key or switch activated
Always exercise caution when operating the
slide-out room.
