A thorough working knowledge of your motorhome is important if you are going to get

the most out of the convenience and safety items built into your unit. Be as familiar with it

as you are with your personal car or truck. Study all the booklets included in your Owner’s

Information Kit. These booklets cover details of operation for the major appliances and

equipment built into your motorhome for your comfort, convenience and safety. Your

selling dealer should provide you with a complete walk through of your vehicle at the

time of purchase. Any questions and concerns should be addressed at that time.

The vehicle licensing laws vary from state-to-state. Check with your state license bureau

or nearest branch oce for the requirements of your state. Be sure to renew your license

if it has expired or will expire during your trip. Your motorhome is considerably larger and

heavier than your car, therefore certain precautions should be exercised. A CDL license

may not be required to operate your motorhome, but Damon Motor Coach recommends

you attend a CDL class to better understand the motorhomes driving and handling

characteristics. Damon Motor Coach wants your driving experience to be pleasant and

enjoyable.

Talk to your insurance agent about the appropriate coverage for your motorhome. Always

carry your policy card.

Follow a consistent schedule of inspection and maintenance for your motorhome.

Your continuing safety and comfort depend on it. This manual includes recommended

maintenance intervals and instructions. Adherence to these schedules will minimize

the possibility of failure of any important system or part of your motorhome. The time

spent inspecting and maintaining your motorhome will provide you with many years of

recreational pleasure. Improper inspections or maintenance neglect may invalidate your

Limited Warranty.

Proper loading is one of the most important considerations when traveling in a

motorhome. Your motorhome is built to withstand a certain maximum load. Check the

Federal Certication Label located in the driver’s area to determine the safe load limits.

For safety’s sake, NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTORHOME. This chapter contains information

about proper loading and weighing of your motorhome.

Know how to control your motorhome on the highway. Be familiar with passing and

stopping requirements, and problems that can develop. Know how to brake properly,

how to back up and how to turn. Practice in a secluded place until you become familiar

with the handling characteristics and techniques of your motorhome. Don’t overlook the

laws of your state that govern driving a motorhome. Your state Motor Vehicle Department

oce can provide you with the applicable vehicle codes that spell out your rights and

responsibilities as a motorhome owner.

Whenever you depart, be it from your home, rest area, or campsite. You should perform

these pre-travel checks:

Should be inspected before each trip for uneven wear, road damage, foreign objects,

peeling or bulging, and correct tire pressure. Heat generated by surface friction will

increase the tire’s air pressure, therefore do not bleed air out of a hot tire. Check tire pressure

after the vehicle has been parked for at least one hour. Inate tires to recommended

pressure as indicated on the Federal Certication Label located above the Drivers area.

(See maintenance schedule on page 73 .)

Proper tire ination is extremely important.

When purchasing a new tire, be certain it is the same size and has the

same ply rating and load range as the original tire. DO NOT mix radial ply

with bias or bias-belted tires.
