See the below photo of the fridge and freezer vents (located on the outside of where your fridge sits). Please do not force water into these vents when you wash your motorhome. Normal washing/rain is fine, but not pressured water over the vent areas.

External power point:

If you have an external power point and have children with you, switching it off with the isolation switch is recommended as it can be a hazard. The switch is located in the kitchen overhead cupboard.

Rearview camera:

See below the basic instructions on how to operate your rear view / reversing camera. This is located at the top of the dashboard.

  • ON and OFF with the POWER button on the right.
  • Push the CAM button to alternate between your two views: one looking down when backing up, the second looking back to give you a view of the traffic behind you.
  • The SETTING button allows you limited settings (no audio).

Please Note:

DO NOT put the camera on MIRRORING. This lets you view a mirrored image of the traffic behind you, which is a big hazard.

 

Reversing Sensors:

If you have a bike rack on the back of your motorhome and it is triggering your reversing sensors, you can simply turn it off.

In the 300 series, the speaker is located under the passenger seat, and in the 700 series, it is under the glove box at the bottom of the dash.

See below the photo of the speaker under the seat, with the arrow pointing to the On / Off switch on the 300 Series.

See below the photo of the speaker under the seat, with the arrow pointing to the on/off switch on the 700 Series.
