Carbon Monoxide.

Under normal conditions your coach should be free from Carbon Monoxide at any given time. Due to the safety hazards of Carbon Monoxide (CO), each Gulf Stream motor home is equipped with a CO Detector. Carefully read the instructions included with your CO detector to ensure proper use and maintenance. Most CO detectors require only occasional dusting and weekly testing.

TOW VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS Prior to hitching and pulling your travel trailer or fifth wheel, make sure your tow vehicle is properly suited and equipped for such use. Read your tow vehicle’s owner’s manual sections on trailer towing, Gross Combined Weight Rating, hitch requirements, sway control requirements, braking requirements, and all related areas for proper towing. EQUALIZING HITCH LOAD COMPARISON SWAY CONTROL Except for the very light folding tent campers, most trailers should employ some type of sway control device. There are several types of these devices available, operating on different principles such as friction, cam action, and computer operated braking of the trailer wheels. HITCH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT If the spring bars on the equalizer hitch are fitted with chains for fastening to the trailer “A” frame, the selection of the proper link to be used at the connecting point can best be chosen by “hitching up” on a level road or driveway. After hitching up the trailer visually inspect how level the tow vehicle/trailer combination is and adjust the chain link selection accordingly. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Plug the pigtail on the fifth wheel or travel trailer into the electrical harness on the truck.

Be sure there is enough slack to allow the vehicle to turn without disconnecting the pigtail. Make sure all lights and the brakes work prior to moving the fifth wheel or travel trailer.

Check your Federal ID label (FIG. 2) to see what the maximum rating for your axles is and make sure they are not overloaded.

The Tire and Loading Information label (Fig.

4) located on the side of the trailer will show the proper tire size for your coach and the recommended air pressures. WHEEL NUT TORQUE Wheel nut torque is a very important safety measure that should be checked often.

Travel trailer tires may carry higher loads than typical passenger car tires. Further, travel trailer tires on tandem axle trailers are subject to high side-to-side load stress when making slow or tight turns. ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM The electric brakes on your travel trailer of fifth wheel are similar to those on your automobile; the difference being that they are activated by 12 volt electrical impulse as opposed to a hydraulic system. The impulse comes from a brake controller, which in affect regulates the flow of electrical current to the trailer brakes. This equipment is available only on models that have generator preparation.

ELECTRICAL Your GULF STREAM is equipped with two (2) separate electrical systems that provide your vehicle with power on the road and in camp. A chassis 12 volt DC system and a 110 volt AC system are installed. Listed below are components that might be used in Gulf Stream vehicles and the maximum amperage draw each one has.

Whether your power supply is 30-amps or 50-amps this chart may help you decide which components you can safely use for an extended period without damage. replace it with a new fuse of the proper rating.

CLIMATE DIFFERENCES The appliances in your vehicle will not function if the LP gas does not vaporize. Propane will continue to vaporize down to –44 degrees F. Propane has become the main type of LP gas used in RVs in recent years. Butane should never be used. The LP gas dealer will have the correct type or blend for his locale.

REGULATOR PRESSURE Have the gas regulator checked at the beginning of each season and whenever a problem occurs. Proper line pressure is 11 inches of water column. Your RV dealer or gas supplier can perform this needed check. GAS TANK AND REGULATOR FREEZE-UP LP gas regulator freeze-up can be prevented if owners are aware of its causes. CITY WATER Open the CITY WATER INLET DOOR and connect a hose to a city pressurized water faucet and to the vehicle’s CITY WATER INLET.

Some models have a separate water fill for the FRESH WATER TANK. Others have a selector switch to select either LOCAL SUPPLY or FRESH WATER TANK.

Prepare a chlorine solution using 1 gallon of water and ¼ cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution). With tank empty, pour chlorine solution into the tank.

Use 1 gallon solution for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. This procedure will result in a residual chlorine concentration of 50 PPM in the water system. separate BLACK WATER HOLDING TANK. Some models may have a second GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK to accommodate various floorplans and features. Which tank each sink drains into may vary from one model to another. The drainage system also includes vents that carry odors caused by drain water and waste out of the RV, while also equalizing air pressure.

clean the drain hose. Repeat as necessary. Follow the same procedure for the GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK. A repeat flush is not necessary. When the tank is empty, push the dump valve handle in until it seats. Remove the hose, wash and replace it in its storage location. Replace termination outlet cap.

HOLDING TANK MAINTENANCE Keep your tanks well flushed out when the vehicle is not in use. Turn ON all faucets and OPEN the HOT and COLD WATER PIPE DRAIN VALVES. Leave these valves in the OPEN position. These valves are located either under the galley sink or in an exterior compartment, and permit the water to drain onto the ground below the RV. RANGE Also operated with LP gas are the range burners and the oven (optional). The basic operation is the same as the units in your home except that extra care must be taken to provide adequate ventilation in your RV. Unlike your home, the RV has limited air space, thus, a limited amount of oxygen available for combustion.

Your furnace is designed to sustain a desired temperature in the vehicle at most times. Due to varying weather conditions, the furnace may not be able to keep up with sub-freezing temperatures. The amount of vehicle occupants and the position the vehicle is parked may help or hinder the furnace’s ability to keep up with freeze conditions. Consult the furnace owner’s manual for more information.

FORMALDEHYDE If you notice an odor in your recreational vehicle – it could be formaldehyde Gulf Stream is an industry leader in reducing emissions of formaldehyde from the products used in constructing its RV’s. Formaldehyde is commonly found in nearly all homes and buildings. It is a colorless gas that is released into the home from a variety of indoor sources.
