Video Transcription:
00:11
hi I’m Jessica with four-wheel camper
00:15
I’m a service tech I’m going to
00:17
introduce this camper here we’re working
00:19
with a hawk front dinette and I’m just
00:23
going to go around this camper do a
00:25
walk-through with you and we’re just
00:27
going to work on the outside and then
00:29
we’ll work our way in on this side of
00:32
the camper you’ve got your propane and
00:34
the rear of the fridge a little bit of
00:36
access panels here so I’m going to open
00:39
up this door here you’ve got the two ten
00:42
gallon tanks they’re empty to begin with
00:45
your when you get these filled you’re
00:47
going to want to make sure that you have
00:49
your tanks purged of air let the propane
00:54
facility know that you have brand new
00:56
tanks so they purge the air and once you
00:58
get these full then you’re gonna want to
01:01
hook up you’re gonna run one at a time
01:03
just hook up your hose to this fitting
01:05
here tighten it on and then you’re gonna
01:10
open up your propane tank on the top of
01:12
the valve here just turn it slowly all
01:18
the way and then secure your door here
01:23
you have the venting for the fridge the
01:26
back side of the fridge when you open up
01:27
this vent you have some storage area
01:29
feel free to use that area and then you
01:33
just secure it just like that okay let’s
01:36
go over some of the stuff on the driver
01:38
side of the camper here got a lot more
01:39
going on on this side you’ve got your
01:41
shower hookup just open that up and you
01:44
click it up all the way now this is
01:47
where your temperature control is gonna
01:48
go you just match up this little piece
01:50
here
01:50
into here have your lever point into the
01:53
off position the more you turn it to the
01:56
left
01:56
the warmer it’s gonna get okay so to
01:59
turn on the shower it’s this head on the
02:02
head here just turn it a quarter turn
02:03
turn it off just like that
02:06
now to remove it turn it to the off
02:08
position should be able to pull it out
02:10
just fine and then here you’ve got
02:15
actually to shut that
02:17
here you’ve got the backside of your
02:18
furnace this area is going to get really
02:21
hot so be careful when you’re getting
02:23
set up here okay now this is where your
02:27
gray water comes out you’ve got to take
02:29
the cap off or your sink will stop up
02:32
this is a hose thread so you can you can
02:36
collect your gray water using any
02:38
remnant of hose to a bucket there is
02:42
other types of containment systems
02:45
available this is one of them it’s a
02:46
collapsible bucket it’s easy to carry
02:48
and it packs down very well considering
02:52
you have to carry everything that you
02:53
take along with you okay so now I’m
02:56
going to go into explaining a little
02:58
more about connecting to power each
03:01
camper is going to come with a standard
03:02
shore power plug so to access that you
03:06
open up the lid there and then you’re
03:08
just gonna match up the terminals here
03:10
it only goes on one way push it on and
03:14
then it’s a quarter turn to the right to
03:16
lock it on and then you’re gonna spin
03:19
this lock nut on to there till it
03:21
threads on and then you’re gonna connect
03:24
to your power source so charging off a
03:26
shore power is the most efficient way to
03:28
run your camper at any opportunity that
03:32
you can use your camper on shore power
03:34
do it if you want to charge your camper
03:37
you need to make sure that the kill
03:39
switch is pulled on and that’s inside
03:41
the camper so if that’s not pulled on
03:44
it’s still possible to use all of your
03:46
appliances run off of shore power but if
03:49
you want to charge your camper you got
03:50
to make sure that that switch is pulled
03:52
out I just want to stress that the other
03:55
way to charge your camper is going to be
03:57
to drive your truck that’s going to get
03:59
some charge to your batteries also the
04:01
solar is going to charge your batteries
04:03
but this should be using the shore power
04:05
plug is going to be the most efficient
04:06
way okay moving right along we’ve got
04:10
the backside of your water heater here
04:12
got a little viewing window to see the
04:14
pilot to open it maybe for cleaning
04:17
purposes just turn this little latch
04:19
here so that allows the door to open and
04:21
then you can see the back of your water
04:24
heater here having the water heater
04:26
allows you to carry an additional six
04:28
gallons of water on top of your 20
04:30
gallon water
04:30
tink so you had a 26 gallon potential
04:34
this is self igniting and fully sealed
04:38
so to close it you’re just going to pull
04:42
on that latch flip it down and there you
04:44
go to open up the water door your water
04:48
fill you’re going to use the round key
04:49
that comes with your key set now there’s
04:57
a larger cap here this is where you’re
05:00
going to fill your water tank you’ll use
05:02
a freshwater hose looks like this and
05:06
basically you’re just going to hook up
05:09
your water supply put that end of the
05:11
hose into here you’re gonna fill the
05:13
water tank and replace the cap and if
05:18
you want water in your water heater
05:19
you’re gonna go inside make sure the
05:21
valve is open
05:21
you’re gonna pressurize your system
05:24
that’s gonna send the six gallons of
05:26
water into your water heater and then
05:29
you’re going to come back out and then
05:31
remove the cap off and add an additional
05:35
six gallons back to your main tank so
05:37
that you can still carry your full
05:38
twenty six gallons of water now to the
05:41
right of that fill area is your city
05:46
city water hookup this is where you
05:49
would hook up your hose if you were
05:51
going to use a camp water supply you
05:56
would need a regulator inline here so
05:58
you’d have your water hose to the
06:01
regulator which would screw into this
06:03
brass fitting and then from here you
06:06
would be using that water supply to
06:09
power your sink or shower or what have
06:12
you now for winterization purposes
06:15
you’re going to use something that would
06:16
call a blowout plug and that comes
06:19
standard with all the campers that have
06:20
a water system also same thing where the
06:23
regulator would screw in is where your
06:26
blowout plug would screw and you’re just
06:27
gonna screw that into this brass fitting
06:29
remove that black cap and then when
06:32
you’re ready to after you’ve removed all
06:35
the water out of your camper by draining
06:36
it through the back valve here that’s
06:39
when you would use the blowout plug and
06:41
you would hook up a compressor to
06:44
the tip of this and you would make sure
06:46
all of your valves are open inside make
06:48
sure the sink is turned on so that the
06:51
water can all move out and you would
06:54
just apply some air pressure to that to
06:57
get the water out of your lines for
07:00
camping in in areas where it’s below
07:02
zero that’s it to that okay on this side
07:08
of the camper you’ve got an additional
07:11
plug for your solar so should you want
07:13
to upgrade to a fold out solar panel
07:16
that’s where you’d hook that up and then
07:19
on the back here you’ve also got a drain
07:21
valve right now it’s closed so to open
07:23
it you just flip that around to the
07:24
other side it’s gonna empty your tanks
07:28
through gravity also on the back of your
07:31
door here you have the door catch that
07:33
just connects to this here and that’s
07:35
spring-loaded very easy to use
07:38
you’ve got your door handle to climb in
07:40
and you’ve also got a porch light amber
07:43
LED there so you’ve got on your key set
07:46
a purple key that’s going to go to the
07:49
camper door lock it’s going to lock both
07:50
the deadbolt and the latch okay so to
07:56
access this you’re going to slide this
07:57
piece out of the way and then to release
07:59
the screen off the door you’re going to
08:01
just pull down on that lock that [ __ ]
08:04
and then the purple key is going to work
08:08
both of these locks the small deadbolt
08:11
and then also on your key set you’ve got
08:14
a square looking house key that’s going
08:17
to go to the house deadbolt
08:18
okay and then when you shut the door
08:22
automatically it connects to the screen
08:27
that’s how you do it
08:29
all right so I want to take a quick
08:30
minute and just show you how quick it is
08:32
to pop up this camper I think you’ll
08:36
find you’re pleasantly surprised just
08:39
how quick this goes together let me get
08:42
this latch here okay we’re going to go
08:49
around to the back here I’m going to
08:51
open up the door
08:54
open I get these latches in the back of
08:57
the campers to here let’s go to the
09:03
passenger side and let’s get these two
09:08
okay so the latches are all done let’s
09:11
head on in grab that handle step in
09:16
carefully I’m gonna turn and I’m gonna
09:19
face the door and I’m gonna undo this
09:20
barrel bolt I’m gonna push on this panel
09:23
undo that barrel bolt I’m gonna push up
09:26
on the push board and before I lock up
09:30
this folding panel I’m gonna fish out
09:32
this strap behind it now I’m gonna
09:35
proceed to push that panel and lock it
09:37
shut wrap that strap around the knob and
09:39
button snap it now I can take off that
09:43
bungee I’m gonna work my way to the
09:45
front here I’m going to push up on this
09:48
push board as soon as I can free up a
09:51
hand I’m gonna push forward lock up that
09:54
panel button snap it up and there we go
10:02
see how easy that was
10:07
that’s it
