TOWING

TRAVEL ONLY WITH THE PROPER HITCHTotal enjoyment of your travel trailer can beobtained only when you have had the correcthitch installed. Experience has proven that theFRAME TYPE EQUALIZING HITCH with sway

control is far superior to all others and severalstates now require that an equalizing hitch beused whenever towing trailers of approximatelythe size and weight of Holiday Rambler TravelTrailers. A ball and socket type coupling is used.A 25/16" diameter ball is used for additionalsafety.

4

EQUALIZING HITCHA frame equalizing hitch is just what theterm implies-it is either bolted or welded toframe of the tow vehicle so that it becomesextension of the frame itself and distributes tongue weight of the trailer to the front andrear wheels of the car. By adjusting the chain

links of the spring, or torsion bar, the towvehicle and the trailer can be made to ride Ithe correct position. Ask your dealer for ademonstration.

ADVANTAGES OF THE EQUALIZING HITCThe main advantage of this h itch is theability to equalize most of the trailer's tongueweight on the four wheels of the car. This giadded traction to the front wheels, as well as

those in the rear. A frame hitch usually resultin an easier riding car with more road clearana neater appearance from the rear, and saferoperation.


10/103

Good travel trailering procedure meansmastering a few basic techniques, such ashitching, towing, backing, and parking.HITCHING1. Trailer hitch should be jacked until it

clears th e hitch ball height on the towvehicle. Hitch ball height should beapproximately 19" on the Royal Holiday,17" on the Holiday Rambler and Trav'ler

and 16" on the Holiday Vacationer. 5

Improper hitch ball height may result inpoor towing characteristics such as sway.

2. The first basic technique to master isbacking the tow vehicle. Many drivers askanother person to guide them when theyback the car to th e trailer tongue,however, this can also be done withoutany assistance.Position the tow vehicle and trailer in astraight line, approximately eight feet fromeach other, then sight directly down th ecenter of the car to the trailer jack stand.Start backing slowly, keeping th e car centerline directly aligned with the jack stand.Continue backing until you think you areabout one foot from the trailer hitch.Stop, get out, and judge the distance anddirection you must move. Get in the caragain, leave the door open, and sighting onthe ground by the open door, pick areference point on th e ground and back upslowly to bring the ball under the trailertongue. After a few trial practices, you willmaster the technique.

Hooking the trailer to the tow vehicle is easy.First lower the trailer hitch.Engage the lock and retainer clip.Raise the tongue by cranking the jackstand. If the lock is engaged properly, itwill cause the to w vehicle to be raised.This in turn will make it easier to installthe equalizing hitch bars and assure aproper connection of the coupler to thehitch ball.Next hook up the electrical plug, thesafety chain, and the break-a-way switch.Be sure to attach the break-a-way switchto a part of the tow vehicle that is notpart of the hitch assembly.Bring the jack stand up to clear the roadwhile traveling.Put on your mirrors.Check your lighting system on the towvehicle and trailer_ This includes runninglights, stop and taillights, and directionblinker signals_

10_ Periodically pull the pin on th e breakswitch and attempt to pull the trailerforward. If the break-a-way switch isoperating correctly, the trailer wheels no t turn.

11. Check inside trailer. Be sure vents areclosed, refrigerator and entrance doorslocked.

All of the above is a must before gettingunderway. See drawing for proper equalizati

TOWINGCheck in all directions and accelerate slowly,

gradually to a safe speed. Don't forget to checkin your rearview mirrors frequently. Whenpassing, remember you have another vehicleattached to your tow vehicle, therefore you willneed more space in turning out, passing andreturning to your proper lane. You must allowfor slower pickup and greater distance.When you come to a hill, accelerate a bitmore than usual, but don't be afraid to shiftdown, even with an automatic transmission-underno circumstances lug the engine. There areusually two sides to every hil l-up and down. Ifit takes low gear to climb the hill, go down theother side in low gear.You will have very little trouble on gradualturns, but for sharp left and right turns youmust swing wide. Don't be afraid to putt outbeyond the walk line before making the turn.When being overtaken, passing or meeting anoncoming bus or truck, or other large vehicle, anair bubble (or air turbulence) may beencou ntered and may cause you to feel thetrailer sway. When this occurs either a slight 7

acceleration or a simultaneous application of thetrailer brakes only will help overcome the swaysensation, however, appl ication of the tow vehiclebrakes at the beginning of a sway situation willaccentuate the sway and may cause you to losecontrol of your vehicle.

BACKING AND PARKING

After arriving at your destination, your nexttask is picking a good level parking space andbacking into it. A recommended procedure forbacking into a space is this:1. Stop near the site, get out and look it

over. (Check the site for lower hangingtree limbs, posts, large rocks, etc.)2. Always try to place the site to your left.This way you can see what the trailer is

doing while you are backing. If the site ison you r right, you will be backi ng intoyour bl ind side, which is more difficult.


13/103

4.

With everything clear, maneuver therecreational vehicle into position forbacking into the site.Now grasp the steering wheel at thebottom, never at the top when you backup. Move your hand on the steering wheelin the direction you wish the trailer to go.If the site is on your left, move yourhand to the left and back slowly, watchingthe trailer. When the trailer starts into theturn, start following it by easing up on thesteering wheel. The trailer will move intoposition.

Stopping your recreational vehicle is just asimportant as starting, perhaps more so. You nowhave the combined weight and length of yourtowing vehicle and trailer to consider. Youshould try to anticipate stop signals, side traffic,etc. Deccelerate slowly, if possible, and shiftdown to prevent abrupt stops, which put unduestrain on springs and shock absorbers of bothtow vehicle and trailer. Slow stops will also

TOWING GUIDELINESNEVER attempt to tow or use a RecreatioVehi'cle without proper instructions.1. Never exceed applicable speed limits.2. Always consider the effects of wind,weather, road surface, and traffic con

when selecting your speed.3. Always use extreme caution when godownhill. Excessive speed while goingdownhill may cause you to lose cont

your vehicle.4. Never, under any circumstances, passanother vehicle while going downhill

may cause you to lose control of yovehicle.

5. Never attempt to pass another vehiclesharp curve or where your view of throad ahead is otherwise restricted.

6. Always check the operation of your brakes, lights and breaka-way switch embarking.

7. When being overtaken, passing or meeting anoncoming bus, truck, or other large vehicle, an airbubble (or air turbulence) may be encountered andmay cause you to feel the trailer sway. When thisoccurs a slight accelleration and/or applying thetrailer brakes only will help overcome the swaysensation; however, application of the tow vehiclebrakes at the beginning of a sway situation willaccentuate the sway and may cause you to lose .control of your vehicle. 9

Danger: Improper use of a recreation vehicle maycause bodily inj ury and/or physical damage to thevehicle operator, occupants and others in thevicinity. When using your recreational vehiclealways follow the proper instructions. When towinga travel trailer always use caution, follow the aboveguidelines and request additional instructionswhenever you are uncertain. Failure to recognizeand compensate for hazards and conditions asso-ciated with recreational vehicles may causeexplosions, electrical shocks, traffic accidents orother physical damage or serious bodily injury.

equipped with 10" electric brake assemblies.The brakes are actuated by highly efficient

electromagnets which are energized by currentfed to them through the controller mounted inyour tow vehicle. These electromagnets aresubject to wear and will need to be replacedperiodically.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENTThe twoshoe electric brakes are similar to

automotive type brakes and the method ofadjustment is the same as on most automotivebrakes.

The brake adjusting screw is located at thebottom of the brake and is accessible through anopening in the backing plate which is sealed witha plug. After removing the plug, the adjustingscrew may be turned in either direction with astandard brake adjusting tool. While spinning the

wheel, turn the adjusting screw until the wheelhas a heavy drag. Then back off only untii thewheel turns freely. Replace the plug to keep ou tdirt and moisture.If brake trouble arises, check the following:1. Poor connection at battery, resistor,

controllers or car plug.2. Corroded connections.3. 8roken or pulled wires at connector.4. Broken or pulled wires at backing plates.5. Shorted wires, check all wires for broken or

frayed insulation.TIRES

All Holiday Rambler manufactured trailersare equipped with tires designed for sustainedhigh speed turnpike towing and are rated tocarry the weight of the trailer plus a nominalamount of clothing, dishes, and personal items.

Inflate tires to the proper pressuredesignated by the manufacturer. While travelingbe sure to check the air pressure rn all tiresbefore you start rolling. It is important thatpressure check is made when tires are cool. 13

The Royal Holiday and Holiday Ramblerare equipped with 8.55 x 15, 6 P.R., STS,whitewall tires.The Holiday Trav'ler is equipped with 8.55x 15, 6 P.R., STS, blackwall tires.

The Holiday Vacationer is equipped with 8.2x 14, 4 P.R., blackwall tires.

When parking your trailer, attempt to park ina shaded area so that your tires are shieldedfrom the direct rays of the sun. Correct airpressure should be maintained. Check your tiresfrequently during this nonoperating period.

All tires are covered by manufacturers'guarantees. In case of a defective tire contact thnearest tire manufacturer's dealer. He will makean adjustment according to the terms of the tireguarantee. Never dispose of a defective tire -return it to your tire dealer for his inspection.


19/103

TIRE CHANGINGWhen it becomes necessary to change a tire,never use a bumper jack. A scissor, screw orhydraulic jack should be used for this purpose.Place it under the axle and raise until the tireclears the fender and ground. If it is necessary

to leave the 'trailer in this position until the tireis repaired, place a block under the hub or axleand lower the trailer until it rests on the block.

For Holiday Ramblers and Holiday Trav'lersequipped with optional Mor-Ryde Suspensionfollow the" Royal Holiday" tire changinginstructions.

SERVICING AXLE, HUB OR BRAKEIf servicing to the axle, hub or brake

assemblies is required, contact your HolidayRambler Dealer. When requesting information orreplacement parts, refer to the number stampedon the metal identification tag which is attachedto the axle.

BREAK-A-WAY SWITCHThis switch is located on the A-frame. The

looped cord for this switch should be attachedto a stationary part of the tow vehicle - notover the hitch ball. When this cord is pulled, itautomatically sets the trailer brakes, providing thtrailer battery is charged. It must be pointed outhat this is an emergency switch and should notbe used as a parking brake. If this cord istripped accidentally or purposely, replace thecord as soon as possible. Otherwise the brakemagnets will be damaged.

SYSTEMSAUTOMATIC STABILIZATIONCONTROL SYSTEM (ASCS)

(OPTIONAL ON HOLIDAY VACATIONER)

16

A. There are many typical "over the road"driving conditions that will significantlydisturb a tow vehicle and trailercombination, such as:

Uneven road surfaces.Side or gusty winds: for example, moderately strong cross wind caneasily create a half ton side force the tow vehicle and trailercombination when traveling at 60MPH!Passing or meeting a large vehiclesuch as a bus, truck or other largevehicle: the pressure and vacuumareas created by the large vehicle wcause considerable side motion to atravel trailer.Sharp or sudden turns encountered normal driving.

B. The ASCS is a dramatic new electronicdevelopment that adds a new dimension safety and ease of trailer traveling byautomatically activating the trailer brakesreduce the swerving action of the trailerwhen traveling at highway speeds.


22/103

C.

D.

E.

The automatic corrective action of theASCS is instantaneous; therefore i t is no tsubject to normal _driver reaction time.Thus, the potential for a massive build-upof a dangerous condition such as a"jack-knife" will be greatly reduced.There is no interference with regularbraking action of trailer or towing vehicle.The CONTROL UNIT adjustment permitsthe driver to select (while driving) thedegree of automatic stabilization controlbest suited to the trailer load and drivingconditions.

SAFETY FEATURES OF THE ASCSThe ASCS offers not only greater towing

ease in "over the road" travel bu t moreimportant provides a basic and significant safetyfeature that cannot be duplicated even by analert driver. This is possible because th e ASCS isautomatic and instantaneous. Thus, driver reactiontime is eliminated which is, under the bestconditions, at least 3/5 of a second. This means 17

that a towing vehicle and trailer combinationtraveling at 60 MPH will actually go at least 66feet after a signal to act has been receivedbefore the driver could possibly respond. Thebenefits of automatic and instantaneous correctivaction are self-evident because the first fewmoments of any swaying or swerving action areoften the most critical. The ASCS provides atowing vehicle-trailer combination withexceptional stability in "over the road" highwaytravel under common driving conditions includingside -wind and gusty wind conditions.PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

It has long been recognized that when a towingvehicle-trailer combination is in motion and thetrailer starts to sway, swerve, or approach a"jack-knife" condition, the most effectivecorrective means is to apply only the trailerbrakes. This is what the ASCS is designed to doinstantaneously, automatically, and in a controllemanner. Since driver reaction time is eliminated,the immediate corrective action of the ASCS wilgreatly reduce the potential for a massivebuild-up of dangerous sway conditions.


23/103

GROSS WEIGHT OF TRAILER AND TOWINGVEHICLEThe gross weight of the trailer is directlyrelated to th e braking effort required. A

convenient adjustment located in the towingvehicle on the CONTROL UN IT permits thedriver to adjust and test, while driving, theamount of automatic stabilization control bestsuited to the towing vehicle-trailer combination.

EFFECT ON BRAKE AND TI RE LIFEIn actual use th e swaying or swerving time is

very small compared to the regular "brakingtime". Since corrective action is controlled, andapplied only when necessary. Usually a driverwill instinctively "hit the brakes" whever heexperiences a noticeable swaying or swervingcondition. Under the circumstances he will 18

generally apply the brakes longer than thewould because the swaying or swerving actiowill be more advanced and thus require mocorrection. This is due to normal human retime. The ne t result is that the additional ubrakes and related tire wear is practicallynegligible.EFFECT ON GENERAL DRIVING'

Under normal driving conditions when nswaying or swerving occurs, the brakes areapplied because no corrective action is requiNow, if swaying or swerving does occur, thebrakes are momentarily applied only to theextent necessary to correct the side motion.summary, the corrective action of the ASCSinstantaneous, positive, and proportional toamount of correc tion requ ired. It has very effect on forward speed; in actual use it iscomparable to the reaction received bymomentarily lifting your foot off the gas p


24/103

PASSING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDSIn normal highway travel, there are occasions

when it is required to change traffic lanes, suchas in passing. This will introduce side motion,but usually no significant swaying or swervingunless an extremely sharp turn is made. Aunique feature is built into the ASCS so thecorrection is applied only when needed. Whenboth towing vehicle and trailer experienceessentially the same side motion (as whenchanging traffic lanes) no correction is applied.However, if a very sharp turn is made and thetrailer does receive a rebound swaying orswerving motion the ASCS will provide correctiveaction. An additional safety feature is providedso that if the towing vehicle and trailer approacha dangerous condition wherein both towingvehicle and trailer experience a severe sidemotion, the ASCS will instantaneously fullyapply the trailer brakes as a corrective measure. 19

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONSThe ASCS may be left "ON" at all times

with the proper CONTROL UNIT DIALSETTING and is ready for immediate use at anytime. (No power is drawn when not in use.)

NOTE: When SPEED CONTROL PACKAGEis used, the ASCS is automatically turned "OFF"below 23 mph and turned "ON" at 29 mph.

To check or establ ish a new position proceed asfollows:1. Trailer and towing vehicle fully loaded and

ready for travel.2. Set CONTROL UNIT dial to "5" and turn

"ON" ASCS.3. Drive 40 mph on straight level road.

Momentarily depress "TEST" pushbuttonon CONTROL UNIT.


25/103

4. Adjust CONTROL UNIT dial, so towingvehicle will receive a definite gentle pull(braking action) from the trailer. Do notadjust the control unit to a position whereno braking action is felt. If no brakingaction is felt at any position on thecontrol unit, the ASCS is NOT WORKING.Immediately contact your dealer.

5. The green signal light (CONTROL UNIT) willindicate braking action is taking place ontrailer. Note: This signal light also serves as acheck on the regular brake system byindicating when regular brake action occurs.

6. The ASCS is independent of regular trailerbrake system, draws no power when not inuse and may be left "ON" at all times.(NOTE: If SPEED CONTROL PACKAGE isnot used, the ASCS can be manually turned"OFF" at slow speeds.)IMPORTANTFor maximum performance of your car andtrailer i t is important that they are loadedproperlv -and that all tires are correctlyinflated. 20

Your trailer is equipped with a unique 12volt110 volt combination electrical system. Theseseparate systems can be used individually ortogether.

110 VOLT SYSTEMThe power source for this system is any city

or park power system. Your trailer is equippedwith a 25' grounded leadin cord. Simply plug inthis cord to the power source and your 110 voltsystem is operational. Whenever possible, hook upto grounded sources. You'll find it . convenient tocarry a three way electrical adaptor, as all parksdo not use the same type of outlet.The breaker box contains three circuitbreakers. This box is grounded directly to theframe. A circuit directory is located at thebreaker box.


27/103

All 110 volt wires are 12/2 Romex wire withcommon ground. All 110 volt wire connectionsare protected by a split cap/insulator andwherever a 110 volt wire crosses an aluminumsidewall stud or rafter, it is held away from thealuminum by a nylon grommet.

Use only 40 watt bulbs in the bathroomfixture and 60 watt bulbs in the other 110 voltfixtures. Larger bulbs will warp the plasticfixture shades.

12 VOLT SYSTEIV,tThe interior 12 volt system is connected to apower converter. All roof vent fans, stovecanopy, ceiling lights, air compressor, and furnaceoperate on 12 volt electricity.The power source for this system is througheither the converter or the trailer batteries.

CONVERTERWhen your trailer is plugged into a 1power source, the converter provides a re

DC current to the 12 volt system and asame time charges your trailer batteries. Bthis unit transforms 110 voltage throughrectifiers. There are no moving parts.Should the line voltage be removed, .trailer batteries will automatically supplycurrent. There is no relay switch. to operis there any series element between the and accessory equipment to cause voltageThe converter is located in the trunk.

12 VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERThe circuit breaker is mounted in the trunkarea. It protec ts your trailer's 12 volt wiring andbatteries from any electrical overloads which mayarise in your tow vehicle wiring and visa versa.

As soon as an overload occurs in the line, thebreaker "kicks off", and when the overload iscorrected, the breaker resets itself automatically.

EXTERIOR LIGHTSAll exterior lights should be checked aftereach trailer/tow vehicle hookup to make sure

that each light is operating properly. Don'toverlook the brake and turn signal lights - trythem to be safe. If none of the exterior lightsfunction after hooking up, check the connectorto see that it is properly inserted. If anindividual bulb is inoperative, check the bulb andthe ground wire for that light. 24

------------------...

Your trailer gas system is made up of bottlegas tanks, gas valves, a gas pressure regulator andgas lines - all of which assist in the operationof the gas appliances in your trailer.

GAS BOTTLESThe two 28 pound bottle gas tanks are

conveniently located on the A-Frame. Thesetanks are fitted with manual gas valves. Theconsumption of the gas in a full tank willdepend on how often and how many gasappliances you utilize. Under normal summertrailering conditions, a single bottle of gas shouldlast at least 3-4 days. Of course, this time isshortened appreciably during cold weathertrailering when the furnace is in almost-continuous operation. We suggest that, except inemergencies, you have your gas bottles refilledrather than exchange them for full ones.

Thearrow on the handle points toward the cylinderthat has been exhausted. This handle should berotated to the opposite position whichimmediately changes the reserve cylinder to theservice cylinder. The higher pressure on theservice side will hold the reserve unit closed so

the empty cylinder can be disconnectedwithout loss of gas. The cyl inder valve on theexhausted cylinder should be closed beforeloosening the pigtail connection. The fullreplacement cylinder is then properly located onthe base, the pigtail is made up leaktight, and

cylinder valve opened. The full cylinder isnow connected to the system on the reserve side of the manifold so that it will cut in automatically when the service cylinder becomes.exhausted. 27

GAS LINESThe primary line, attached to the underbelly,

is black pipe. All secondary lines leading fromthe primary line are copper tubing and areattached with flare fittings.Cut-off valves are located on each gasline under the trailer. These valves should beclosed before the removal of any gas appliance.

If any of these lines are ruptured, do notattempt to splice them - always run a new line.GAS LINE CHECK

Although your LP gas system was checkedfor possible gas leaks prior to del ivery, it isfeasible that gas leaks might occur throughvibrations as a result of rough terrain traveling.It is recommended that you have your systemchecked once a year by your Dealer.

SElF CONTAINED TOILET SYSTEMYour trailer toilet system has been very

carefully developed to give years of satisfacservice in two types of usage:1. Your own complete toilet facilities while

the road o r when parked without beingconnected to a sewer line.

2. Stationary use when connected to sewerwater lines for overnight or lengthy stayThese two uses have two separate and

distinctly different sets of conditions about When travel ing, the idea is to save the precspace in the holding tank until it is convento dump it. This means using as little wateflushing as possible while maintaining cleanli

However, when connected to a sewer linthe tank space is not so important becausetank can be emptied at will.


34/103

How To Use the System When ConnectedTo A Sewer Line1. KEEP THE HOLDING TANK DUMP VALVE

CLOSEDEmpty the tank every few days (every day isall right). The idea is to send a large volumeof sewage through the tank and drain hose atone time. This practice sets up a swirlingaction and high currents which floats thetoilet paper and other solids completely away.

2. AVOID ACCUMULATIONS OF SOLIDSIt is a very poor practice to keep the tankvalve open or partially open when connectedto a sewer or gopher hole. It is not like ahome toilet where a large volume of water isused at each flush. There is usually no tenough liquid to float all of the solids in asingle flush. The result is that all of theliquids go, leaving some solids. I n time thisbuilds up into trouble. The end result can bea disagreeable cleaning job.

29

Should this ever happen, the best method ofcleaning the tank is to close the valve, fillthe tank about half full of water, and thendrive the vehicle for fifty miles or so. Theturbulence and surging of the water willusually dissolve the solids into suspension andthe tank can be drained. You can add alittle soap, or tank deodorizer, bu t nothingelse.

3. USE THE TOILET ON AUTOMATICThe mechanism is designed to partially refillthe bowl after each use with clean freshwater, and is as sanitary as the toilet inyour own home.In fact, your new toilet system is asconvenient, clean, and safe as a home styleunit, and even more modern than many.


35/103

How To Use the System When ParkedWithout A Sewer Line ConnectionAUTOMATIC FLUSHWhen traveling and you are anticipatingfinding a dumping station, or being connectedto a sewer line every few days, you can usethe toilet on automatic flush if you wish. Ituses very little water. The holding tank willprovide space for the requirements of twoadults for two to four days, or longer. Allyou t,ave to do is to be careful not to holdthe sliding valve blade open too long.Don't worry about your fresh water supplyas it is readily available almost anywhere.Pressure or hand refill of your fresh watertank is seldom a problem. 30

Things Not To Put Into the Toilet and1. FACIAL AND OTHER SIMILAR TISSU

Unlike toilet paper, nearly all of facialare impregnated and treated to give thestrength. This quality makes .it almostimpossible to dissolve them in the tanktoilet papers dissolve after a period of especially if agitated by traveling. Howefacial and similar tissues do not. So neput them in the tank. Also, white toilpaper dissolves much faster than colorepapers. Selfdisintegrating toilet paper isrecommended and is available from most csupply stores.

2. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS AND BLThis is a fairly common practice, and adoes m ore harm than good. The harmdetergents remove lubricating oils and gThey actually do no good at all. It isbetter to use a sewage tank deodorizer you can obtain from your Dealer.


36/103

,3. DO NOT USE ANTIFREEZE, AMMON lAS,

ALCOHOLS, OR ACETONES IN YOURTANKSuch liquids as those above may causedamage to your tank, valve parts, tankfittings, or drain hose. They do no good andmay cause a lot of trouble. Drain your tankto prevent freezing.

31

How To "Gopher Hole"Dig a hole about 18 inches, or 20 inches in

diameter down to a depth of 40 inches or so.Dig a very slight channel for a lead in for theend of the drain hose.Place a cover (wood, metal, or other) overthe hole and shovel some of the dirt over thecover. This seals the hole.

WATER SYSTEM

Your trailer water system is comprised ofpressure tank, an ai r compressor and wasupply lines.

WATER FILLER VALVEThis assembly is located on the exterior of

the trailer and is connected to the pressure tanby a 1Yo" threaded pipe. The filler cap containa builtin pressure relief valve set atapproximately 125 psi. If the system shouldexceed this pressure, this relief valve will allevithe pressure in the water system. There is alsowater check valve in the hose connection of thassembly.


38/103

FILLING OF WATER SYSTEMUse potable water only, sanitize, flush and

drain before using.First, be sure the air compressor is off andALL AIR HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THEWATER SYSTEM. The water system can befilled with a bucket by removing the filler capor with a garden hose by securing it to the hoseconnection. When filling with a hose, open allfaucets so that ai r can escape. Once you have asteady flow of water, close the faucets andcomplete the filling. If you connect your trailerto a trailer park or city water system where thewater pressure is excessive, a water pressureregulator should be connected to the supplyhose.

DRAINING OF WATER SYSTEMThe entire system should be drained when

not in use. You'll find drain plugs in the waterlines. An inspection plate has been provided inthe underbelly in order to gain access to thisplug. The entire system will drain through thisplug bu t it is recommended that the waterheater be drained at the same time. Fasterdraining can be accomplished by opening allfaucets. 33

PRESSURE TANKThis system has a 30 gallon capacity. But

because an air head to maintain pressure isneeded, the tank will hold slightly less.

Distasteful mineral substances found insome water sources may be objectionable. On theRamblers, Trav'lers, and Vacationers, theseminerals can be removed from the tank bywashing the tank with a diluted chlorine orbaking soda solution. Follow with a thoroughrinsing of lukewarm water. (The Royal has awater purifier as standard equipment and thisprocedure should not be necessary.)

WATER PURIFIER(STANDARD ON ROYAL HOLIDAY)The Royal Holiday "Total System" water

purifier (filter) is located in the main water linenext to the storage tank. This device is designedto fine filter all of the water from the tankthrough a unique activated carbon filter whichabsorbs organic tastes and odors. This tasteabsorbing filter enables you to purify anyquestionable water in your storage tank withChlorine (common household bleach) without anyunpleasant residual taste. Please review detailedwater purifier instructions for correct procedures.


39/103

I '

AIR COMPRESSORThis unit is located near the pressure tank

and is equipped with a manual toggle switch.This 12 volt unit is turned on after you'vecompleted filling your water system by either thebucket or hose method. Before turning thecompressor on, be sure that the filler cap istight and the hose connection check valve isproperly sealed. The compressor is completelyautomatic in that it will activate itself when thewater pressure drops to 20 psi, and shuts itselfoff after it raises the pressure to approximately30 psi.

The compressor is an oiless fractional CFM12 volt DC unit. This unit requires nolubrication and is treated to prevent corrosion.Avoid excessive running of air compressorwith too many cycles in a short time period.Excessive running indicates a low voltagecondition or an air or water leak in the system.

34

If trouble arises, (1) Check for aair or water leak in the system, (2) Chpoor connection at the battery or at tcompressor, (3) or check for a blown breaker in the air compressor circuit. Ithese causes are apparent, contact your Rambler Dealer. Caution: Do not use acompressor to blowout water lines whwinterizing.

WATER SUPPLY LINESAll cold water and many hot water

in the heat cradle and are protected byinsu lation and the heating system.

WATER DRAINAGE LINESAll sink, shower and tub drain lines

equipped with drainable P-traps. All of lines bypass the septic holding tank andterm inate beyond the gate valve.

WINTERIZATION

WINTER USEYour coach is built to keep you comfortable incold weather. The insulated construction alongwith the efficient heating system will keep yousnug while enjoying hunting, skiing, or otherwinter activities. (Note: Never use the cookingstove for heat.) Be sure there is adequatecirculation of air throughout the coach whenusing during winter months. It is wise no t tooverload closets, dr,!wers, and other storagespaces during winter. Furthermore, if possible,leave a closet, cabinet , .and storage door open acrack to aid air circulation throughout. A slightlyopened roof vent or window will aid incontrolling excessive moisture build up which isnoticeable as condensation. 41

WINTER STORAGEThe following information is furnished as a

suggested method of preparing your trailer forwinter storage:1. Close all faucets and pressurize system. Open

water heater valve until all water is out. Open the water line drain valve (under

trailed. Open one faucet at a time until allair and water is out of lines. Repeat thisprocedure, and repressurize system until eachfaucet and valve has been air and waterdrained. To properly drain the toilet faucetvalve, it is recommended that the line bedisconnected and air be blown into the line.(A tubeless tire valve can be used.) Caution: Dono t use trailer air compressor to blow water ouof lines.2. Remove the drain plug from tub or showertrap. A small amount of winterizing agentshou Id be pu t in the kitchen sink andlavatory drain.


47/103

3. Drain holding tank. To prevent shaft on gatevalve from rusting, a metal lubricant shou Idbe appl ied to the shaft. Caution: Do not useautomobile antifreeze in traps. Use onlynon-toxic R.V. type anti-freeze.4. Close gate valve and water valve.5. Apply a coat of aluminum roof coating to allseams, around stacks, and roof vents.6. All windows should be closed tight so that

snow does not blow in. Plastic garment bagscan be cu t to fit inside window screens, andsealed around the window casing withmasking tape.7. Put graphite in all locks. 42

8. Trailer should be blocked up enough toremove some of the weight from the tithe same time level the trailer. Hub capshould also be removed.9. Assuming your trailer is being stored ou

and in the vicinity of your home, you want to consider filling your gas bottlespropane for emergency use in case of apower failure; however, if you elect toyour bottles, all connections should betightened and all inside valves closed tig

CARE OF EXTERIOR FINISHYour trailer has been finished with a high

grade automotive enamel for durability andbeauty. Wash it fr911uently using a mild detergentin lukewarm water. If you travel on roads thathave been salted to melt ice, wash your traileras soon as possible.

A good automotive cleaner-wax should be usedoccasionally to remove tree sap, road tar, insects,and industria.! smoke that may damage thesurface.Aerosol cans of Royal Holiday enamel areavai lable from your Dealer.This paint, however, can only be used on steelparts of trailer chassis. Do not use on aluminumexterior.CLEANING OF CARPET

The carpeting is 100% nylon. Simple vacuumingis all that's required to keep your carpet cleanand fresh looking.Vacuum cleaners should always be 'pushedslowly to enable the vacuum action to removeembedded soil. Do no t vacuum when carpet iswet because of the danger of electrical shock.

47

It is recommended that you use a carpetrake on your shag carpeting after vacuuming.

Spot and stain removal can be accomplished busing any normal procedure that you would usein your home to clean your carpet. Use eitherdry powder or wet shampoo. (Do no t soakcarpet).

The surface is resistant to scratches and hardknocks. It won't crack or craze with normal use.But slicing can damage the finish, so confinesharp knife blades to a chopping board.The lam inate resists heat up to 275 degreesF, including boiling water. Pots and pans, straightfrom the oven or burner should be placed onasbestos lined hot pads. Keep irons on theirboards and lighted cigarettes in their ashtrays.

The master control has four indicating metersand tw o warning lights. The meters indicateDrinking Water Level, Holding Tank Level,Battery Current charge or discharge, and batterycondition. A % full Holding Tank turns on a redwarning light. Switching the water pressure Pumpon also turns on a red warning light. Springloaded switches save power by activating circuitsonly when manually depressed. Four 20 ampreset type circuit breakers are provided for the12 volt DC power circuits.

50

WATER LEVEL INDICATOR:The Water Level Indicator has a man

compensator which allows the customeraccurately adjust the unit for correct reaall types of water. The unit also has a state voltage regulator which prevents inreadings due to voltage f,luctuations.

To calibrate the water level meter, cthe following:

1. Fill the tank with water.2. PRESS and HOLD the switch

front of the panel, in the metest position.

3. While holding the switch dowthe LEVEL ADJUST KNOB ofront of the panel until the mreads FULl.

The water level meter is now calibraensure accurate readings, recalibrate theeach time the tank is filled.


56/103

HOLDING TANK LEVEL INDICATOR:I The Holding Tank Circuit receives a signalI from each of three probes installed in the tank.I They sense when the tank is 1/3, 2/3, or 3/3,I', full. The meter will indicate accordingly. A LevelAdjust control allows the meter to be adjusted

to read FULL when it is less than full. TheI Blue switch must be depressed to read the tankIevel.,., When you switch your Thermasan control tothe "On" position as you travel down thehighway, the green light will glow indicating thatthe system is Ready. .

As the speed of your veh icle reaches thi rtyplus miles per hour, the specially designed SpeedSensor in line between the transmission andspeedometer sends a message to the electronicmonitoring circuit.

Simultaneously, the Thermasan Heat Sensor is~ e t e c t i n g the adequate BTU 'flow in the engineexhaust. When a superheated condition isreached that annihilates the millions of bacteriacracks the odor molecules and disintegrates the' 51

sol ids into micron sizes, another message istransmitted to the controls,When both heat and speed conditions aremet, the Metering Injection Pump is actuated towithdraw the wastes from the holding tank andtransfer it through the corrosion-resistant,heat-tolerant, impact-proof connection system. Atthis point, the Red Reaction Light signals thedriver that wastes are moving through the lines- "Destination Waste Destruction."

The Holding Tank Evacuation Probe is aself-cleaning, non-clogging screen that removes thewaste suspension which has been created byholding tank agitation and bio-chemical reaction.The line flow is governed by the pump to assurejust the right positive displacement rate to allowcomplete waste destruction.

Wastes are introduced into a high volumestream of heat energy in the engine exhaustthrough the stainless-steel Thermasan Sanijectorwhich is affixed to the exhaust pipe at itshottest point. The Sanijector will not affectengine back pressure or the life of the exhaustsystem and insures complete waste dispersion forinstant c o n v e ~ s i o n into a bacteria-free, invisible,harmless emission that complies with FederalRegister, Volume 33, No. 108, Par. 2, andNational Sanitation Foundation Standard No. 24.

HOW TO WINTERIZE YOUR THERMASAN SYSTEMFill your tank about one half full and drive

a few blocks, no more than a mile is necessary.Repeat two or three times, then open dumpvalve and leave the tank empty.

When dry, close the dump valve and add alittle lubricating oil to both the tank valve andthe toilet valve. Drain or blow the water out ofthe toilet bowl overflow trap. Drain the waterfrom the inlet lines to your toilet.
