Chapter 9 - Exterior Systems
When locking and unlocking the main door, there is a dead bolt and a latch bolt which
are keyed separately. Unlock both, pull the latch open, and pull out on the door handle.
The main entry door is a two piece door. You can use the screen door separately from the
main door by unlatching it. Slide the screen handle cover closed to keep insects out of
your motorhome. If the door needs adjustment, see a Damon dealer for service.
Adjacent to each entry door is an entry assist handle for convenience and safety in
entering and exiting your unit.
The electric step is automatic. When the ignition switch is activated, the step will
automatically retract. When the door is opened, the step will extend automatically even
if the engine is running. If the switch for the step is in the OFF position, the step will fail to
operate automatically. If the step malfunctions, check the battery voltage, fuses, switch
alignment, and verify that the step switch is in the ON position.
The lower compartment doors have a pocket latch. To open, simply insert your ngers
under the ap and pull up. The door will continue to rise on the gas assisted struts until
fully open. Push down to close the compartment, and the latch will close automatically.
The doors under the slide-out and doors that are mounted below gas red appliances
with exhaust may have a prop rod so the exhaust does not damage the door. Most models
have pass-through compartments for storing longer items. Always keep the doors locked
when traveling to prevent accidental opening or theft.
Damon motor coaches have plywood reinforced roofs which are strong enough to walk
on. Use the two piece ladder to climb up on the roof for inspecting the roong seal and
components. Remember to store and secure the lower section before traveling. Take the
ladder into consideration when backing up or parking your motorhome.
Your motorhome is equipped with an electric awning. The electronic controls for the
awning are located on a switch panel, that may be near the entry door, or in an overhead
cabinet.
The awning is a convenient way to extend your campsite to include a patio within your
location. When using the awning, always set one side lower than the other to allow for
water runo. For complete instructions on the use of your awning, please refer to the
instructional guide in your Owner’s Information Kit. When used properly, your awning
provides a comfortable atmosphere during your camping excursions.
The manufacturer of the awning recommends the following:
If heavy wind and/or rain conditions exist, retract the awning and
place it in the storage position.
