RV Manual
Return to Rental Rates Page

We are developing an online Manual so that you may enjoy your RV to it's fullest. This is a work in progress and is subject to change at any given time.  It is also a generic peace of work and is meant only as a general guide, it should not be taken as absolute fact.  Each RV is distinct and individual in it's own right, do not take anything written here literally as it may or may not apply to the exact RV you will be using.  Some information provided in these pages are only suggestions.  Please read Your RV page as we have more helpful information.


Televison & VCR

If additional equipment requiring 12-volt power is installed in the motor home, obtain the 12-volt source from a properly fused battery circuit. Consult an authorized 120-Volt  VCR.

120/12-Volt Television The optional 120-volt/1 2-volt television can operate from a 12-volt power source (battery) as the motor home delivered. Care should be taken so the batteries are drained while using the TV on 12-volt power.

The television can also be operated on 120-volt power from the generator or public utility by removing the 122 cord from the rear of the TV and installing the 120 cord. Both 120- and 12-volt cords cannot be used at same time. To use TV on 12-volt power, the cords m be exchanged.

VCR The optional 120-volt VCR can operate only when t motor home is connected to 120-volt power from either public utility or the generator.

Please read our Electrical System page for more information.

 

TV Antenna

The roof-mounted antenna is designed for receptor VHF and UHF television signals.

Before traveling, remember to lower the antenna secure it to prevent damage to the antenna, motorhome roof, or objects in the path of the antenna, such overhead wires. DO NOT TRAVEL WITH THE ANTENNA RAISED.

NOTE. The antenna booster power supply must be turned off to prevent battery drain. A red indicator light will glow when the unit is on.

TV Ghosts And FM Flutter The television and radio systems in your motor home have been chosen to provide good performance, many varied signal conditions. Occasionally, thought, you may experience distortion, i.e. "ghosts" on TV of when listening to FM broadcast.

If distortion becomes a nuisance, try these tips:

  1. Use the "park cable" TV antenna in remote rather than the roof antenna of your motor if the campground provides cable hook-up.
  2. Re-orient the television antenna, Sometimes the antenna will pick up a stronger signal turning or rotating the antenna throughout its range.
  3. With FM Stereo signals, switch the unit to MONO, if possible. Some of the phase and noise components of a stereo signal will disappear in MONO mode.
  4. Reduce the treble setting to reduce background noise. Although not yielding the best high-frequency performance, at least you maybe able to reduce the irritation of the distortion.
