                   The BBQ quick disconnect (If Equipped) is regulated to 10 P.S.I. Please ensure that all devices connected to this
                   are either rated for high "pressure" or have their own regulator. Many grills sold in the United States are "low
   Propane
                   pressure" (1/2 P.S.I.) and will require an additional regulator to step the pressure down to a useable level. If
                   hooked directly to the BBQ quick disconnect they will be a severe fire hazard.

                 Servicing        before working on them.

Before You Head Out
Your new Sunlight is ready to go with just a little bit of preparation. To prepare for your first trip, you should:

   •   Read this manual.
   •   Contact your dealer with any questions.
   •   Plan your trip.
Then use this quick checklist:

   •   The day before your trip:
          o Charge your RV batteries by plugging in overnight. (*If equipped with optional Lithium batteries, inverter must be in on position.*)
          o Cool your refrigerator by turning it on.
          o Chill any beverages or other refrigerated items in your home refrigerator.
          o Flush and fill your fresh water tank with clean tap water.
   •   The day of the trip:
          o Load the refrigerator with beverages and other perishable items (from your home refrigerator).

                                                                                                            © Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc., R00

Coming Home

When you come home, there are a few maintenance tasks you should do to get your Sunlight ready to go for next time. Refer to other sections in
this manual for the procedures listed here.
       On your way home, dump the black waste water tank at a convenient facility. See the HOW TO’s: Waste Water Dumping for a concise
       description of the procedure to do this. Some RV parks and gas stations will let you dump for a fee, some city wastewater plants will let you
       dump for free but there is no real pattern, so local knowledge is vital in locating dump stations.
   •   The website http://www.sanidumps.com is a good resource. The website with maps for each state and province is
       http://www.sanidumps.com/maps/help.php.

   •   At home, flush the water tank and fill it with fresh chlorinated water if you will be using it in the next few days. Otherwise, drain the tank. Don't
       let water you are planning to use sit in your tank for more than a week or so, and don't let any water sit in your tank for more than two weeks,
       whether you plan on using it or not. Over time, the chlorine evaporates allowing bacteria to grow.

Coming Home (Continued)
  •   Plug in the shoreline connection overnight to fully charge batteries. View your battery voltage on your coaches monitor panel.
  •   Turn off and clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to let it air out.
  •   If you plan on storing your Sunlight for an extended period, turn off the Battery Disconnect Switch and the Inverter Switch on your monitor
      panel to keep from draining your AGM or Optional Lithium battery(ies).
  •   * If you turn everything off and you have optional solar panels, the panels will keep your coach batteries charged to a safe level while your
      Sunlight is parked.
           o Solar panels will only keep your Sunlight charged if parked outside.
  •   If you don't have solar panels, it is required that you check your coach battery state of charge every week and charge them as necessary.
  •   If you don't turn everything off, even with solar panels, you will probably come back to dead batteries.
           o Based on the electronic systems on your coach needing small amounts of electricity even when off, you will probably come back to
               dead batteries over a period of time.
           o If your coach is equipped with optional Lithium batteries, the battery switch(es) need to be on so the solar panel(s) can provide a
               charge to them. Turn the switch(es) off at the end of the day to maintain the battery charge.
  •   If you are not planning on storing your coach for an extended period, it is recommended that you plug in your coach to charge the batteries
      to keep them from draining.
           o Plug your coach into a dedicated power outlet. (Dedicated outlets provide a cleaner line of electricity supplied to the coach) (Picture
               14.1 On Next Page)
           o Turn on your battery disconnect switch. (Picture 14.2 On Next Page)
           o If your Sunlight is equipped with standard AGM battery turn on your inverter switch.
           o If your Sunlight is equipped with the optional EcoTrek Lithium battery, turn on your Lithium Battery switch and make sure blue light
               is illuminated. (Picture 14.3 On Next Page)
           o Turn your inverter to the on position. (Picture 14.4 On Next Page)

Interior Living Space
                                              Cabinets

                                               Your Sunlight is equipped with cabinet latches which
                                               prevent the door from opening while the vehicle is in
                                               motion. The push buttons on the cabinet latches toggle
                                               from latched (button in) (Picture 15.1) to unlatched
                                               (button out) (Picture 15.2) by pressing the button.
                                               To open a cabinet, press the button to unlatch and pull
                                               gently on the button, and the cabinet door will open.
                                               To close a cabinet, make sure the latch is still open
                                               (button out), then close the door. Once the cabinet door
                                               is closed, press the latch button in to lock the cabinet.
                 Picture 15.1                                                                                                 Picture 15.2

     Push Button for Cabinet Latches                                                                              Push Button for Cabinet Latches
           In Closed Position.                                                                                         In Opened Position.

       Do not attempt to close the cabinet doors while the latch button is pressed in. This could break the latch. Always make sure the button is out
       before attempting to close a cabinet door. (Picture 15.2)

       It is not recommended to keep large, round, and/or heavy objects in a cabinet unsecured as they may roll around and apply excessive
       pressure to the inside of the cabinet doors as you drive. The objects may shift position with vehicle motion and cause injury when the
       cabinets are opened. For this reason, Ewin Hymer Group North America recommends that you are aware of the objects that you store in
       overhead cabinets.

       If you load a large amount of weight into a cabinet, experience large swings in temperature or humidity, ride on bumpy roads at high speeds
frequently, or sometimes as part of normal wear and tear, the cabinet hinges may go out of adjustment. You will know the cabinet is out of
adjustment when it will not open with the button out, or not latch with the button in.

                                                                                                     © Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc., R00

            Fingers on the Bottom Corners of the Door                                                Friction Required to Open and Close the
                    to Open a Stuck Cabinet.                                                                       Cabinet Door.

To open a cabinet stuck shut with the button out, apply pressure UPWARD with your thumbs on both bottom corners of the cabinet door while
simultaneously applying gentle pressure to open it, as shown above left. (Picture 16.1)

      DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR OPEN BY PULLING OR PRYING ON IT - you will break the latch.
The screw in the top part of the hinge nearest the pivot point adjusts the vertical location of the door (Picture 16.2). Screw out to raise the door and
screw in to lower the door and fix doors that won't stay shut when latched, as shown above left.

Cabinet Adjustment
The screw on the long bracket hinge is used to apply or reduce the friction needed on your cabinet door to open and close smoothly.
Using an allen wrench, turning the screw to the right will tighten the hinge and put more friction on your cabinet door where turning left will loosen
the pressure that is applied and allow for the cabinet to be opened with less force. (Picture 16.2.)

Immediately above the refrigerator in the kitchen galley is a slide out drawer for silverware and other uses. (Picture 17.2 on Previous Page.)
Immediately under the sink is a pull-out storage drawer which can be used for storage for food, dinnerware or other uses. (Picture 17.3 on Previous
Page.)
Immediately beneath the pull out upper storage drawer there is a second door below. Within this area is the grey water tank for the kitchen galley.
(Picture 17.4 on Previous Page.) (*Note – Due to the components that are in this compartment, it is not recommended for storage items.
Items may cause damage to the water tank or the water lines that are contained within.)
To drain the kitchen galley grey water tank, use the grey tank drain located on the driver’s side of the vehicle near the city water intake valve
between the front and rear axles. (Picture 17.5 on Previous Page.) (*Note – The grey/black water tank hose is removable and has a bayonet
fitting to connect and drain the kitchen galley grey water tank.) (See hose housing in picture 38.2 and 38.3 .)
Across from the galley cabinetry on the passenger side of the vehicle is a secondary storage compartment. This compartment has a small upper
storage at the front and the lower level has full open storage the length of the passenger side seating area. (Picture 18.1 and 18.2) (*Note – If
Equipped, this compartment also houses the vehicles jack and spare tire replacement kit, info will be further covered later in this
manual.) (*Note – To access this storage area, the vehicles exterior passenger sliding door must be opened or you can remove the
seating and backrest cushions and lift up on the board to expose the entire storage area.) (Picture 18.3)

Table Legs and Leg Mounts
The table(s) can be set up to use either for front seating or galley lounge area for dining, computer, gaming, or other recreational use. (See Pictures
and Further Description on Page 21 and 22.) The table legs are stored in the rear passenger side between the bathroom and rear chassis door.
(Picture 20.3)

The leg keys into a T-Nut fitting in the slot of the floor plate(s). (Picture 20.1) *Note – All table leg floor plates come with covers, remove and
store in a safe place before inserting T-Nut into the floor plate. *

To install the table leg in the floor plate, unscrew the T-Nut all the way on the end of the table leg and insert the T-Nut into the slot in the floor plate.
Rotate the table leg clockwise until the table leg is secure and does not wobble. If it does not tighten after 2-3 turns, remove the table leg unscrew
the T-Nut all the way and repeat. (Picture 20.2)

     If it's set up right, it will lock in place with little effort. If not setup correctly don’t force the T-Nut. Remove and insure that the T-Nut is fully
extended and check the keyway on the floor for any obstructions.

Front Table and Front Swivel Seats

     This vehicle will not drive unless the front seats are forward facing and locked. The vehicle will not go into gear.
The two captain's seats in the front of your Sunlight are adjustable fore-and-aft by pulling up on the metal bar under the front seats. (Picture 22.2)

      Always return the seats to the forward-facing position before driving. They must lock into position for the vehicle to operate.

To create a front lounge area, first ensure that the seats are fully upright by lifting up on the outside plastic release handle and bringing the backs of
the seats forward. (Picture 22.1) Do not attempt to pivot a reclined seat. Use the forward-aft adjustment bar while pivoting the seats to allow the
sides of the chairs to clear the armrests on the vehicle doors, the console cover, and other obstructions. (Picture 22.2) Do not force the seats
around. Swiveling the driver's seat may require you to loosen the telescopic steering wheel adjustment and adjust the steering wheel. Opening the
front doors slightly will allow you to clear the door armrests easily but is not required.

      The nightshade curtain blocks airflow. If you leave the window open, then close the nightshade, close all other windows, and then close the
side door, it is possible for the curtain to get blown out of the track. Always close the window prior to closing the nightshade.

      The window shades set slide to the right and left. The plastic clip on the nightshade covering is not a pull tab; it is a locking tab. Always pull on
the aluminum bar. (Picture 24.3) *Failure to do so could cause damage to window screen or cause the screen guide to come off track.* The
shades are configured so that the nightshade side covers the window opening for additional privacy.

Ventilation
Your Sunlight is equipped with 2 ceiling mounted ventilation fans; 1 in the washroom area and the other in the kitchen galley area. (Picture 26.1
shows ventilation fan in washroom area.)

     When cooking or using the galley stove, ensure the ventilation fan is operating in this area.
The fans have covers that must be raised by pushing up on the curved handle. (Picture 26.2)
Raise the cover, then push the red button to turn the fans on. (Picture 26.3)
For more details, please refer to the appliance manual.

     Turn the fan off and close the cover completely before driving. The cover will rattle and might be damaged by wind pressure if you drive with it
open.

     Open the side windows and open the nightshade slightly to allow for airflow.

Bathroom Facilities
Using the Toilet

The bathroom in your Sunlight contains a macerating toilet. (Picture 29.1)

To flush the toilet, use your foot to press the foot pedal located at the bottom left of the toilet to expel the waste, then release the foot pedal.

      Do not use standard toilet paper which will clog your black water tank - use only camping grade paper which will dissolve easily when it gets
wet. *For detailed information on this appliance consult the Products/Appliance Owner's Manual that accompanies your coach.

Shower Setup:
The Sunlight comes with a rear washroom/toilet area. It takes several steps to create the washroom. An outline to those steps is as follows:
*Please refer to pictures starting on page 31.*

The sliding shower door is held in place by a clear plastic strap and button snap. (Picture 31.1 Next Page)
Open the storage cabinet door (left side) directly opposite the sliding shower door to reveal catch magnets on the inside of the door at the top and
bottom. (Picture 31.2 Next Page)
Unsnap sliding shower door strap and slide shower door across washroom until magnets on shower door arm catch magnets attached to storage
cabinet door. (Picture 31.3 Next Page)

Slide shower curtain all the way around enclosing the washroom area. (Picture 31.4 Next Page)
Unscrew the drain stopper from the bathroom floor and store for safe keeping. (Picture 31.5 Next Page)

    When finished showering, air dry or wipe off sliding shower door and shower curtain before securing.

  Taking A Shower
     •   To take a shower, unscrew the drain stopper in the bathroom floor and store for safe keeping and reinstallation after your
         shower.

     •   Release loop fastener straps retaining the shower curtain and slide the shower curtain along its track to enclose the shower
         space.

     •   Pull the faucet/showerhead up and adjust the water temperature as desired. There is a water cutoff on the handle to
         conserve water.

     •   When finished, either towel off or air dry the curtain and sliding shower door before storing it.

     •   Refasten the drain stopper to prevent the contents of the waste tank from sloshing up into the shower area while driving.

                                                                                                       © Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc., R00
