TOWING
TRAVEL ONLY WITH THE PROPER HITCH
Total enjoyment of your travel trailer can be
obtained only when you have had the correct
hitch installed. Experience has proven that the
FRAME TYPE EQUALIZING HITCH with sway
control is far superior to all others and several
states now require that an equalizing hitch be
used whenever towing trailers of approximately
the size and weight of Holiday Rambler Travel
Trailers. A ball and socket type coupling is used.
A 25/16" diameter ball is used for additional
safety.
4
EQUALIZING HITCH
A frame equalizing hitch is just what the
term implies-it is either bolted or welded to the
frame of the tow vehicle so that it becomes an
extension of the frame itself and distributes the
tongue weight of the trailer to the front and
rear wheels of the car. By adjusting the chain
links of the spring, or torsion bar, the tow
vehicle and the trailer can be made to ride In
the correct position. Ask your dealer for a
demonstration.
ADVANTAGES OF THE EQUALIZING HITCH
The main advantage of this h itch is the
ability to equalize most of the trailer's tongue
weight on the four wheels of the car. This gives
added traction to the front wheels, as well as
those in the rear. A frame hitch usually results
in an easier riding car with more road clearance,
a neater appearance from the rear, and safer
operation.
Good travel trailering procedure means
mastering a few basic techniques, such as
hitching, towing, backing, and parking.
HITCHING
1. Trailer hitch should be jacked until it
clears the hitch ball height on the tow
vehicle. Hitch ball height should be
approximately 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 in
poor towing characteristics such as sway.
2. The first basic technique to master is
backing the tow vehicle. Many drivers ask
another person to guide them when they
back the car to the trailer tongue,
however, this can also be done without
any assistance.
Position the tow vehicle and trailer in a
straight line, approximately eight feet from
each other, then sight directly down the
center of the car to the trailer jack stand.
Start backing slowly, keeping the car center
line directly aligned with the jack stand.
Continue backing until you think you are
about one foot from the trailer hitch.
Stop, get out, and judge the distance and
direction you must move. Get in the car
again, leave the door open, and sighting on
the ground by the open door, pick a
reference point on the ground and back up
slowly to bring the ball under the trailer
tongue. After a few trial practices, you will
master 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 jack
stand. If the lock is engaged properly, it
will cause the tow vehicle to be raised.
This in turn will make it easier to install
the equalizing hitch bars and assure a
proper connection of the coupler to the
hitch ball.
Next hook up the electrical plug, the
safety chain, and the break-a-way switch.
Be sure to attach the break-a-way switch
to a part of the tow vehicle that is not
part of the hitch assembly.
Bring the jack stand up to clear the road
while traveling.
Put on your mirrors.
Check your lighting system on the tow
vehicle and trailer_ This includes running
lights, stop and taillights, and direction
blinker signals_
10_ Periodically pull the pin on the break-a-way
switch and attempt to pull the trailer
forward. If the break-a-way switch is
operating correctly, the trailer wheels will
not turn.
11. Check inside trailer. Be sure vents are
closed, refrigerator and entrance doors
locked.
All of the above is a must before getting
underway. See drawing for proper equalization.

TOWING
Check in all directions and accelerate slowly,
gradually to a safe speed. Don't forget to check
in your rearview mirrors frequently. When
passing, remember you have another vehicle
attached to your tow vehicle, therefore you will
need more space in turning out, passing and
returning to your proper lane. You must allow
for slower pickup and greater distance.
When you come to a hill, accelerate a bit
more than usual, but don't be afraid to shift
down, even with an automatic transmission-under
no circumstances lug the engine. There are
usually two sides to every hill-up and down. If
it takes low gear to climb the hill, go down the
other side in low gear.
You will have very little trouble on gradual
turns, but for sharp left and right turns you
must swing wide. Don't be afraid to putt out
beyond the walk line before making the turn.
When being overtaken, passing or meeting an
oncoming bus or truck, or other large vehicle, an
air bubble (or air turbulence) may be
encou ntered and may cause you to feel the
trailer sway. When this occurs either a slight
7
acceleration or a simultaneous application of the
trailer brakes only will help overcome the sway
sensation, however, appl ication of the tow vehicle
brakes at the beginning of a sway situation will
accentuate the sway and may cause you to lose
control of your vehicle.
BACKING AND PARKING
After arriving at your destination, your next
task is picking a good level parking space and
backing into it. A recommended procedure for
backing into a space is this:
1. Stop near the site, get out and look it
over. (Check the site for lower hanging
tree 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 is
on you r right, you will be backi ng into
your bl ind side, which is more difficult.
3.
4.
With everything clear, maneuver the
recreational vehicle into position for
backing into the site.
Now grasp the steering wheel at the
bottom, never at the top when you back
up. Move your hand on the steering wheel
in the direction you wish the trailer to go.
If the site is on your left, move your
hand to the left and back slowly, watching
the trailer. When the trailer starts into the
turn, start following it by easing up on the
steering wheel. The trailer will move into
position.
Stopping your recreational vehicle is just as
important as starting, perhaps more so. You now
have the combined weight and length of your
towing vehicle and trailer to consider. You
should try to anticipate stop signals, side traffic,
etc. Deccelerate slowly, if possible, and shift
down to prevent abrupt stops, which put undue
strain on springs and shock absorbers of both
I tow vehicle and trailer. Slow stops will also

TOWING GUIDELINES
NEVER attempt to tow or use a Recreational
Vehi'cle without proper instructions.
1. Never exceed applicable speed limits.
2. Always consider the effects of wind,
weather, road surface, and traffic conditior -
when selecting your speed.
3. Always use extreme caution when going
downhill. Excessive speed while going
downhill may cause you to lose control o'
your vehicle.
4. Never, under any circumstances, pass
another vehicle while going downhill as th
may cause you to lose control of your
vehicle.
5. Never attempt to pass another vehicle in
sharp curve or where your view of the
road ahead is otherwise restricted.
6. Always check the operation of your traile'
brakes, lights and breaka-way switch befol
embarking.
7. When being overtaken, passing or meeting an
oncoming bus, truck, or other large vehicle, an air
bubble (or air turbulence) may be encountered and
may cause you to feel the trailer sway. When this
occurs a slight accelleration and/or applying the
trailer brakes only will help overcome the sway
sensation; however, application of the tow vehicle
brakes at the beginning of a sway situation will
accentuate the sway and may cause you to lose .
control of your vehicle. 9
Danger: Improper use of a recreation vehicle may
cause bodily inj ury and/or physical damage to the
vehicle operator, occupants and others in the
vicinity. When using your recreational vehicle
always follow the proper instructions. When towing
a travel trailer always use caution, follow the above
guidelines and request additional instructions
whenever you are uncertain. Failure to recognize
and compensate for hazards and conditions asso-
ciated with recreational vehicles may cause
explosions, electrical shocks, traffic accidents or
other physical damage or serious bodily injury.

..
The Holiday Vacationer wheel bearings
should be checked and repacked every 10,000
miles or at least once a year. Use automotive
type wheel bearing grease.
Repack bearings as follows:
1. Make certain the inner bearing is well
lubricated with grease forced into the
bearing cage and around all rollers.
2.
Place the bearing into the bearing cup
inside the hub and tap the grease retainer
into place against the hub's inner surface.
Wipe off excess grease.
3. Mount the drum on the spindle, flush
against the inner surface.
4. Pack the outer bearing with grease and
place on spindle inside the hub.
I nstall washer and spindle nut. Rotate the
drum while tightening axle nut. When the
bearing begins to bind, back off the nut
one castellation.
Turn the drum by hand to be sure
rotation is free, then insert the cotter pin
through the spindle. Bend both ends of
cotter pin over the spindle and install the
grease cap.
The Royal Holiday, Holiday Rambler and
loliday Trav'ler are equipped with an oil bath
{stem for wheel bearing lubrication. The oil
)Vel is visually checked by viewing the oil level
t the see through plastic axle end cap. The oil
,vel should be up to level indicated in
lustration. Check oil level periodically. The hub
ap must be removed for this inspection. Should
he oil level decrease, immediately contact your
loliday Rambler dealer. Do not attempt to add
,il.
IRAKES
The Royal Holiday, Holiday Rambler, and
10liday Trav'ler are equipped with 12" electric
lrake assemblies. The Holiday Vacationer is
12
equipped with 10" electric brake assemblies.
The brakes are actuated by highly efficient
electromagnets which are energized by current
fed to them through the controller mounted in
your tow vehicle. These electromagnets are
subject to wear and will need to be replaced
periodically.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The twoshoe electric brakes are similar to
automotive type brakes and the method of
adjustment is the same as on most automotive
brakes.
The brake adjusting screw is located at the
bottom of the brake and is accessible through an
opening in the backing plate which is sealed with
a plug. After removing the plug, the adjusting
screw may be turned in either direction with a
standard brake adjusting tool. While spinning the
v
'-.-,
wheel, turn the adjusting screw until the wheel
has a heavy drag. Then back off only untii the
wheel turns freely. Replace the plug to keep out
dirt 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 trailers
are equipped with tires designed for sustained
high speed turnpike towing and are rated to
carry the weight of the trailer plus a nominal
amount of clothing, dishes, and personal items.
I nflate tires to the proper pressure
designated by the manufacturer. While traveling
be sure to check the air pressure rn all tires
before you start rolling. It is important that
pressure check is made when tires are cool.
13
The Royal Holiday and Holiday Rambler
are equipped with 8.55 x 15, 6 P.R., STS,
whitewall tires.
The Holiday Trav'ler is equipped with 8.55
x 15, 6 P.R., STS, blackwall tires.
The Holiday Vacationer is equipped with 8.25
x 14, 4 P.R., blackwall tires.
When parking your trailer, attempt to park in
a shaded area so that your tires are shielded
from the direct rays of the sun. Correct air
pressure should be maintained. Check your tires
frequently during this nonoperating period.
All tires are covered by manufacturers'
guarantees. I n case of a defective tire contact the
nearest tire manufacturer's dealer. He will make
an adjustment according to the terms of the tire
guarantee. Never dispose of a defective tire -
return it to your tire dealer for his inspection.

TIRE CHANGING
When it becomes necessary to change a tire,
never use a bumper jack. A scissor, screw or
hydraulic jack should be used for this purpose.
Place it under the axle and raise until the tire
clears the fender and ground. If it is necessary
to leave the 'trailer in this position until the tire
is repaired, place a block under the hub or axle
and lower the trailer until it rests on the block.
For Holiday Ramblers and Holiday Trav'lers
equipped with optional Mor-Ryde Suspension
follow the" Royal Holiday" tire changing
instructions.

SERVICING AXLE, HUB OR BRAKE
If servicing to the axle, hub or brake
assemblies is required, contact your Holiday
Rambler Dealer. When requesting information or
replacement parts, refer to the number stamped
on the metal identification tag which is attached
to the axle.
BREAK-A-WAY SWITCH
This switch is located on the A-frame. The
looped cord for this switch should be attached
to a stationary part of the tow vehicle - not
over the hitch ball. When this cord is pulled, it
automatically sets the trailer brakes, providing the
trailer battery is charged. It must be pointed out
that this is an emergency switch and should not
be used as a parking brake. If this cord is
tripped accidentally or purposely, replace the
cord as soon as possible. Otherwise the brake
magnets will be damaged.

AUTOMATIC STABILIZATION
CONTROL SYSTEM (ASCS)
(OPTIONAL ON HOLIDAY VACATIONER)
16
A. There are many typical "over the road"
driving conditions that will significantly
disturb a tow vehicle and trailer
combination, such as:

Uneven road surfaces.
Side or gusty winds: for example, a
moderately strong cross wind can
easily create a half ton side force on
the tow vehicle and trailer
combination when traveling at 60
MPH!
Passing or meeting a large vehicle
such as a bus, truck or other large
vehicle: the pressure and vacuum
areas created by the large vehicle will
cause considerable side motion to a
travel trailer.
Sharp or sudden turns encountered in
normal driving.
B. The ASCS is a dramatic new electronic
development that adds a new dimension in
safety and ease of trailer traveling by
automatically activating the trailer brakes to
reduce the swerving action of the trailer
when traveling at highway speeds.
C.
D.
E.
The automatic corrective action of the
ASCS is instantaneous; therefore it is not
subject to normal _ driver reaction time.
Thus, the potential for a massive build-up
of a dangerous condition such as a
"jack-knife" will be greatly reduced.
There is no interference with regular
braking action of trailer or towing vehicle.
The CONTROL UNIT adjustment permits
the driver to select (while driving) the
degree of automatic stabilization control
best suited to the trailer load and driving
conditions.
SAFETY FEATURES OF THE ASCS
The ASCS offers not only greater towing
ease in "over the road" travel but more
important provides a basic and significant safety
feature that cannot be duplicated even by an
alert driver. This is possible because the ASCS is
automatic and instantaneous. Thus, driver reaction
time is eliminated which is, under the best
conditions, at least 3/5 of a second. This means
17
that a towing vehicle and trailer combination
traveling at 60 MPH will actually go at least 66
feet after a signal to act has been received
before the driver could possibly respond. The
benefits of automatic and instantaneous corrective
action are self-evident because the first few
moments of any swaying or swerving action are
often the most critical. The ASCS provides a
towing vehicle-trailer combination with
exceptional stability in "over the road" highway
travel under common driving conditions including
side -wind and gusty wind conditions.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
It has long been recognized that when a towing
vehicle-trailer combination is in motion and the
trailer starts to sway, swerve, or approach a
"jack-knife" condition, the most effective
corrective means is to apply only the trailer
brakes. This is what the ASCS is designed to do,
instantaneously, automatically, and in a controlled
manner. Since driver reaction time is eliminated,
the immediate corrective action of the ASCS will
greatly reduce the potential for a massive
build-up of dangerous sway conditions.
GROSS WEIGHT OF TRAILER AND TOWING
VEHICLE
The gross weight of the trailer is directly
related to the braking effort required. A
convenient adjustment located in the towing
vehicle on the CONTROL UN IT permits the
driver to adjust and test, while driving, the
amount of automatic stabilization control best
suited to the towing vehicle-trailer combination.
EFFECT ON BRAKE AND TI RE LIFE
In actual use the swaying or swerving time is
very small compared to the regular "braking
time". Since corrective action is controlled, and
applied only when necessary. Usually a driver
will instinctively "hit the brakes" whever he
experiences a noticeable swaying or swerving
condition. Under the circumstances he will
18
generally apply the brakes longer than the ASCS
would because the swaying or swerving action
will be more advanced and thus require more
correction. This is due to normal human reaction
time. The net result is that the additional use of
brakes and related tire wear is practically
negligible.
EFFECT ON GENERAL DRIVING'
Under normal driving conditions when no
swaying or swerving occurs, the brakes are not
applied because no corrective action is required.
Now, if swaying or swerving does occur, the
brakes are momentarily applied only to the
extent necessary to correct the side motion. In
summary, the corrective action of the ASCS is
instantaneous, positive, and proportional to the
amount of correction requ ired. It has very little
effect on forward speed; in actual use it is
comparable to the reaction received by
momentarily lifting your foot off the gas pedal.
PASSING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS
In normal highway travel, there are occasions
when it is required to change traffic lanes, such
as in passing. This will introduce side motion,
but usually no significant swaying or swerving
unless an extremely sharp turn is made. A
unique feature is built into the ASCS so the
correction is applied only when needed. When
both towing vehicle and trailer experience
essentially the same side motion (as when
changing traffic lanes) no correction is applied.
However, if a very sharp turn is made and the
trailer does receive a rebound swaying or
swerving motion the ASCS will provide corrective
action. An additional safety feature is provided
so that if the towing vehicle and trailer approach
a dangerous condition wherein both towing
vehicle and trailer experience a severe side
motion, the ASCS will instantaneously fully
apply the trailer brakes as a corrective measure. 19

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The ASCS may be left "ON" at all times
with the proper CONTROL UNIT DIAL
SETTING and is ready for immediate use at any
time. (No power is drawn when not in use.)
NOTE: When SPEED CONTROL PACKAGE
is 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 as
follows:
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" pushbutton
on CONTROL UNIT.
c_
4. Adjust CONTROL UNIT dial, so towing
vehicle will receive a definite gentle pull
(braking action) from the trailer. Do not
adjust the control unit to a position where
no braking action is felt. If no braking
action is felt at any position on the
control unit, the ASCS is NOT WORKING.
Immediately contact your dealer.
5. The green signal light (CONTROL UNIT) will
indicate braking action is taking place on
trailer. Note: This signal light also serves as a
check on the regular brake system by
indicating when regular brake action occurs.
6. The ASCS is independent of regular trailer
brake system, draws no power when not in
use and may be left "ON" at all times.
(NOTE: If SPEED CONTROL PACKAGE is
not used, the ASCS can be manually turned
"OFF" at slow speeds.)
IMPORTANT
For maximum performance of your car and
trailer it is important that they are loaded
properlv -and that all tires are correctly
inflated.

--.. -...
Your trailer is equipped with a unique 12
volt110 volt combination electrical system. These
separate systems can be used individually or
together.
110 VOLT SYSTEM
The power source for this system is any city
or park power system. Your trailer is equipped
with a 25' grounded leadin cord. Simply plug in
this cord to the power source and your 110 volt
system is operational. Whenever possible, hook up
to grounded sources. You'll find it . convenient to
carry a three way electrical adaptor, as all parks
do not use the same type of outlet.
The breaker box contains three circuit
breakers. This box is grounded directly to the
frame. A circuit directory is located at the
breaker box.
(
l
All 110 volt wires are 12/2 Romex wire with
common ground. All 110 volt wire connections
are protected by a split cap/insulator and
wherever a 110 volt wire crosses an aluminum
sidewall stud or rafter, it is held away from the
aluminum by a nylon grommet.
Use only 40 watt bulbs in the bathroom
fixture and 60 watt bulbs in the other 110 volt
fixtures. Larger bulbs will warp the plastic
fixture shades.
12 VOLT SYSTEIV,t
The interior 12 volt system is connected to a
power converter. All roof vent fans, stove
canopy, ceiling lights, air compressor, and furnace
operate on 12 volt electricity.
The power source for this system is through
either the converter or the trailer batteries.
CONVERTER
When your trailer is plugged into a 110 volt
power source, the converter provides a regulated
DC current to the 12 volt system and at the
same time charges your trailer batteries. Basica!iy,
this unit transforms 110 voltage through
rectifiers. There are no moving parts.
Should the line voltage be removed, .the
trailer batteries will automatically supply 12 volt
current. There is no relay switch. to operate, nor
is there any series element between the batteries
and accessory equipment to cause voltage drop.
The converter is located in the trunk.
Do not store anything on top of the
converter. It has a grille in the top for
dissipation of heat which must remain open.
BATTERIES
When a 110 volt power source is not
available, your trailer batterie,; provide 12 volt
current to the same points as the converter.
22 These batteries are located in the trunk.
.'
,
.'
.
The batteries can be recharged by your tow
veniciis\,electrical s'ystem with the proper hookup
while in transit or/through the converter when
plugged into' a 110,volfpower source. Frequently
check to' see that' the batteries have' sufficient
water. ..-
Do not store items near or above the battery
that could make contact with the battery
terminals, This cou Id create an electrical short,
If you store your trailer during the winter
months, remove the batteries and store them in
a warm place. Befors, removing the batteries,
mark the positive and negative wires,
Should trouble arise, have your batteries
checked by your Royal ,Holiday Dealer or any
gasoline service station to, see that they are
properly charged.
CAR CONNECTOR

12 VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breaker is mounted in the trunk
area. It protects your trailer's 12 volt wiring and
batteries from any electrical overloads which may
arise in your tow vehicle wiring and visa versa.
As soon as an overload occurs in the line, the
breaker "kicks off", and when the overload is
corrected, the breaker resets itself automatically.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked after
each trailer/tow vehicle hookup to make sure
that each light is operating properly. Don't
overlook the brake and turn signal lights - try
them to be safe. If none of the exterior lights
function after hooking up, check the connector
to see that it is properly inserted. If an
individual bulb is inoperative, check the bulb and
the ground wire for that light.

------------------...
Your trailer gas system is made up of bottle
gas tanks, gas valves, a gas pressure regulator and
gas lines - all of which assist in the operation
of the gas appliances in your trailer.
GAS BOTTLES
The two 28 pound bottle gas tanks are
conveniently located on the A-Frame. These
tanks are fitted with manual gas valves. The
consumption of the gas in a full tank will
depend on how often and how many gas
appliances you utilize. Under normal summer
trailering conditions, a single bottle of gas should
last at least 3-4 days. Of course, this time is
shortened appreciably during cold weather
trailering when the furnace is in almost
-continuous operation. We suggest that, except in
emergencies, you have your gas bottles refilled
rather than exchange them for full ones.
: \!
AUTOMATIC CHANGEOVER
GAS REGULATOR
OPTIONAL ON HOLIDAY VACATIONER
This regulator provides uninterrupted gas
service for your LP-gas system. Because it
incorporates two-stage regulation, delivery pressu re
is remarkably constant, resulting in better overall
performance of all appliances of load
or cylinder pressure.
This regulator was set at approximately 11"
W.C. during construction and we recommend that
this pressure be maintained at all times. The
most 'common cause of appliance lighting
problems are a resu It of a poorly adjusted
regulator.
Note the red throw-over knob on the
regulator. The arrow on the knob will always
point toward the gas bottle that is in service.
Movement of the knob will not shut down the
system as long as there is fuel in any gas bottle
connected to the system.
26
The following procedure shou Id be followed
when the service gas bottle is exhausted. The
service gas bottle should not be considered
exhausted until the "red flag" appears in the
window of the regulator.
NOTE: During extreme cold weather
conditions the indicator may show a partial red
indication (half red, half white). Service cylinder
should not be considered empty until indication
is full red.
CHANGING CYLINDERS
ROYAL HOLIDAY, HOLIDAY RAMBLER
& HOLIDA Y TRA V'LER
The following procedure should be followed
when the service cylinder is exhausted and the
indicator shows red under a light load. The
arrow on the handle points toward the cylinder
that has been exhausted. This handle should be
rotated to the opposite position which
immediately changes the reserve cylinder to the
service cylinder. The higher pressure on the
service side will hold the reserve unit closed so
that the empty cylinder can be disconnected
without loss of gas. The cyl inder valve on the
exhausted cylinder should be closed before
loosening the pigtail connection. The full
replacement cylinder is then properly located on
the base, the pigtail is made up leaktight, and
'the cylinder valve opened. The full cylinder is
now 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 LINES
The primary line, attached to the underbelly,
is black pipe. All secondary lines leading from
the primary line are copper tubing and are
attached with flare fittings.
Cut-off valves are located on each gas
line under the trailer. These valves should be
closed before the removal of any gas appliance.
If any of these lines are ruptured, do not
attempt to splice them - always run a new line.
GAS LINE CHECK
Although your LP gas system was checked
for possible gas leaks prior to del ivery, it is
feasible that gas leaks might occur through
vibrations as a result of rough terrain traveling.
It is recommended that you have your system
checked once a year by your Dealer.
PLUMBING SYSTEM
28
SElF CONTAINED TOILET SYSTEM
Your trailer toilet system has been very
carefully developed to give years of satisfactory
service in two types of usage:
1. Your own complete toilet facilities while on
the road or when parked without being
connected to a sewer line.
2. Stationary use when connected to sewer and
water lines for overnight or lengthy stays.
These two uses have two separate and
distinctly different sets of conditions about them.
When travel ing, the idea is to save the precious
space in the holding tank until it is convenient
to dump it. This means using as little water for
flushing as possible while maintaining cleanliness.
However, when connected to a sewer line,
the tank space is not so important because the
tank can be emptied at will.
..
How To Use the System When Connected
To A Sewer Line
1. KEEP THE HOLDING TANK DUMP VALVE
CLOSED
Empty the tank every few days (every day is
all right). The idea is to send a large volume
of sewage through the tank and drain hose at
one time. This practice sets up a swirling
action and high currents which floats the
toilet paper and other solids completely away.
2. AVOID ACCUMULATIONS OF SOLIDS
It is a very poor practice to keep the tank
valve open or partially open when connected
to a sewer or gopher hole. It is not like a
home toilet where a large volume of water is
used at each flush. There is usually not
enough liquid to float all of the solids in a
single flush. The result is that all of the
liquids go, leaving some solids. I n time this
builds up into trouble. The end result can be
a disagreeable cleaning job.
29
Should this ever happen, the best method of
cleaning the tank is to close the valve, fill
the tank about half full of water, and then
drive the vehicle for fifty miles or so. The
turbulence and surging of the water will
usually dissolve the solids into suspension and
the tank can be drained. You can add a
little soap, or tank deodorizer, but nothing
else.
3. USE THE TOILET ON AUTOMATIC
The mechanism is designed to partially refill
the bowl after each use with clean fresh
water, and is as sanitary as the toilet in
your own home.
In fact, your new toilet system is as
convenient, clean, and safe as a home style
unit, and even more modern than many.
How To Use the System When Parked
Without A Sewer Line Connection
AUTOMATIC FLUSH
When traveling and you are anticipating
finding a dumping station, or being connected
to a sewer line every few days, you can use
the toilet on automatic flush if you wish. It
uses very little water. The holding tank will
provide space for the requirements of two
adults for two to four days, or longer. All
you t,ave to do is to be careful not to hold
the sliding valve blade open too long.
Don't worry about your fresh water supply
as it is readily available almost anywhere.
Pressure or hand refill of your fresh water
tank is seldom a problem.
30
Things Not To Put Into the Toilet and Tank
1. FACIAL AND OTHER SIMILAR TISSUES
Unlike toilet paper, nearly all of facial tissues
are impregnated and treated to give them wet
strength. This quality makes .it almost
impossible to dissolve them in the tank. Most
toilet papers dissolve after a period of time,
especially if agitated by traveling. However,
facial and similar tissues do not. So never
put them in the tank. Also, white toilet
paper dissolves much faster than colored
papers. Selfdisintegrating toilet paper is
recommended and is available from most c a m p i n ~ -
supply stores.
2. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS AND BLEACH
This is a fairly common practice, and always
does m ore harm than good. The harm is tha
detergents remove lubricating oils and greases
They actually do no good at all. It is far
better to use a sewage tank deodorizer whicl
you can obtain from your Dealer.
19
HEn

3. DO NOT USE ANTIFREEZE, AMMON lAS,
ALCOHOLS, OR ACETONES IN YOUR
TANK
Such liquids as those above may cause
damage to your tank, valve parts, tank
fittings, or drain hose. They do no good and
may cause a lot of trouble. Drain your tank
to 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 the
end of the drain hose.
Place a cover (wood, metal, or other) over
the hole and shovel some of the dirt over the
cover. This seals the hole.
HOLIDAY TRAV'LER AND HOLIDAY VACATIONER
ROYAL HOLIDAY AND HOLIDAY RAMBLER

WATER SYSTEM
Your trailer water system is comprised of a
pressure tank, an air compressor and water
supply lines.
WATER FILLER VALVE
This assembly is located on the exterior of
the trailer and is connected to the pressure tank
by a 1 Yo" threaded pipe. The filler cap contains
a builtin pressure relief valve set at
approximately 125 psi. If the system should
exceed this pressure, this relief valve will alleviate
the pressure in the water system. There is also a
water check valve in the hose connection of this
assembly.
FILLING OF WATER SYSTEM
Use potable water only, sanitize, flush and
drain before using.
First, be sure the air compressor is off and
ALL AIR HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE
WATER SYSTEM. The water system can be
filled with a bucket by removing the filler cap
or with a garden hose by securing it to the hose
connection. When filling with a hose, open all
faucets so that air can escape. Once you have a
steady flow of water, close the faucets and
complete the filling. If you connect your trailer
to a trailer park or city water system where the
water pressure is excessive, a water pressure
regulator should be connected to the supply
hose.
DRAINING OF WATER SYSTEM
The entire system should be drained when
not in use. You'll find drain plugs in the water
lines. An inspection plate has been provided in
the underbelly in order to gain access to this
plug. The entire system will drain through this
plug but it is recommended that the water
heater be drained at the same time. Faster
draining can be accomplished by opening all
faucets.
33
PRESSURE TANK
This system has a 30 gallon capacity. But
because an air head to maintain pressure is
needed, the tank will hold slightly less.
Distasteful mineral substances found in
some water sources may be objectionable. On the
Ramblers, Trav'lers, and Vacationers, these
minerals can be removed from the tank by
washing the tank with a diluted chlorine or
baking soda solution. Follow with a thorough
rinsing of lukewarm water. (The Royal has a
water purifier as standard equipment and this
procedure should not be necessary.)
WATER PURIFIER
(STANDARD ON ROYAL HOLIDAY)
The Royal Holiday "Total System" water
purifier (filter) is located in the main water line
next to the storage tank. This device is designed
to fine filter all of the water from the tank
through a unique activated carbon filter which
absorbs organic tastes and odors. This taste
absorbing filter enables you to purify any
questionable water in your storage tank with
Chlorine (common household bleach) without any
unpleasant residual taste. Please review detailed
water purifier instructions for correct procedures.
: I '
AIR COMPRESSOR
This unit is located near the pressure tank
and is equipped with a manual toggle switch.
This 12 volt unit is turned on after you've
completed filling your water system by either the
bucket or hose method. Before turning the
compressor on, be sure that the filler cap is
tight and the hose connection check valve is
properly sealed. The compressor is completely
automatic in that it will activate itself when the
water pressure drops to 20 psi, and shuts itself
off after it raises the pressure to approximately
30 psi.
The compressor is an oiless fractional CFM
12 volt DC unit. This unit requires no
lubrication and is treated to prevent corrosion.
Avoid excessive running of air compressor
with too many cycles in a short time period.
Excessive running indicates a low voltage
condition or an air or water leak in the system.
34
If trouble arises, (1) Check for a possible
air or water leak in the system, (2) Check for
poor connection at the battery or at the
compressor, (3) or check for a blown circuit
breaker in the air compressor circuit. If none ( ,
these causes are apparent, contact your Holida\
Rambler Dealer. Caution: Do not use air
compressor to blowout water lines when
winterizing.
WATER SUPPLY LINES
All cold water and many hot water lines
in the heat cradle and are protected by
insu lation and the heating system.
WATER DRAINAGE LINES
All sink, shower and tub drain lines are
equipped with drainable P-traps. All of these
lines bypass the septic holding tank and
term inate beyond the gate valve.

Cleaning of Refrigerator
To clean the interior lining of the cabinet,
use a lukewarm weak soda solution. The radiator,
ice trays, and shelves must be cleaned with warm
water only. Never use strong chem icals or
abrasives to clean these parts or the protective
surface will be spoiled. IT IS IMPORTANT
ALWAYS TO KEEP THE CABINET CLEAN.
To Shut Down Refrigerator
To shut down the cabinet temporarily, it is
only necessary to set the temperature regulator
to "0." If, for any reason, refrigeration is not
required over a period of weeks, the gas taps or

flANGE AND OVEN
The gas range and oven in your trai ler was
designed to provide easy, fast and economical
ookin9. It is built to operate on LP gas.
c When the unit is furnished with both a top
rghter pilot and an oven lighter pilot, both
'ilo
ts
must be lighted. Please refer to instructions
P n the name plate for lighting. After lighting and
adjUsting the pilot, automatic lighting is provided.
a When using, do not leave burner on without
cooking utensil, for excessive heat may cause
:razing and damage to the porcelain burner
grates.
Cleaning the range is made easy by raising
the top for access. Use a detergent and warm
water. The burner port holes may be cleaned
with wooden tooth picks. Do not use metal pins
or other metal objects for cleaning port holes for
the holes may be enlarged.
For safety and good service for your unit,
the following is a list of things not to do: 40
1. Do not use the oven or burners as a
heater.
2. Do 'not leave the gas burning while
traveling and especially while refueling
your vehicle.
3. When range is equipped with a cover, dl

Rambler Dealer.
WINTERIZATION
WINTER USE
Your coach is built to keep you comfortable in
cold weather. The insulated construction along
with the efficient heating system will keep you
o snug while enjoying hunting, skiing, or other
winter activities. (Note: Never use the cooking
stove for heat.) Be sure there is adequate
circulation of air throughout the coach when
using during winter months. It is wise not to
t overload closets, dr,!wers, and other storage
spaces during winter. Furthermore, if possible,
leave a closet, cabinet, .and storage door open a
crack to aid air circulation throughout. A slightly
If,' opened roof vent or window will aid in
controlling excessive moisture build up which is
noticeable as condensation.
41
WINTER STORAGE
The following information is furnished as a
suggested method of preparing your trailer for
winter 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 all
air and water is out of lines. Repeat this
procedure, and repressurize system until each
faucet and valve has been air and water
drained. To properly drain the toilet faucet
valve, it is recommended that the line be
disconnected and air be blown into the line.
(A tubeless tire valve can be used.) Caution: Do
not use trailer air compressor to blow water out
of lines.
2. Remove the drain plug from tub or shower
trap. A small amount of winterizing agent
shou Id be put in the kitchen sink and
lavatory drain.
3. Drain holding tank. To prevent shaft on gate
valve from rusting, a metal lubricant shou Id
be appl ied to the shaft. Caution: Do not use
automobile antifreeze in traps. Use only
non-toxic R.V. type anti-freeze.
4. Close gate valve and water valve.
5. Apply a coat of aluminum roof coating to all
seams, around stacks, and roof vents.
6. All windows should be closed tight so that
snow does not blow in. Plastic garment bags
can be cut to fit inside window screens, and
sealed around the window casing with
masking tape.
7. Put graphite in all locks.
42
8. Trailer should be blocked up enough to
remove some of the weight from the tires, at
the same time level the trailer. Hub caps
should also be removed.
9. Assuming your trailer is being stored outside,
and in the vicinity of your home, you might
want to consider filling your gas bottles with
propane for emergency use in case of a
power failure; however, if you elect to fill
your bottles, all connections should be
tightened and all inside valves closed tightly.

CARE OF EXTERIOR FINISH
Your trailer has been finished with a high
grade automotive enamel for durability and
beauty. Wash it fr911uently using a mild detergent
in lukewarm water. If you travel on roads that
have been salted to melt ice, wash your trailer
as soon as possible.
A good automotive cleaner-wax should be used
occasionally to remove tree sap, road tar, insects,

In
This laminate surface resists alcohol, fruit
acids, most drugs, cosmetics, and household
chemicals. It's best to avoid contact with dyes,
strong laundry bleaches and blueing. Indelible
inks may stain. Since this type of ink is used on
food packages, be careful when unpacking
groceries on a DAMP countertop.
The surface is resistant to scratches and hard
knocks. It won't crack or craze with normal use.
But slicing can damage the finish, so confine
sharp knife blades to a chopping board.
The lam inate resists heat up to 275 degrees

care as fine furniture. An occasional application
of furniture wax will protect these surfaces
against scuffs and mars.
Interior Doors and Drawer Fronts
All of these items have a Y,' celetex core
faced with plastic lam inate and may be cleaned
the same as the counter tops. Due to the cell
structure of the celetex, it is possible to
puncture these panels and fronts with sharp
objects or by severely tightening drawer pulls and
door knobs. Punctures of this nature are not
covered by Royal Holiday Warranty.

Raval HolidaV Master Control Panel
The master control has four indicating meters
and two warning lights. The meters indicate
Drinking Water Level, Holding Tank Level,
Battery Current charge or discharge, and battery
condition. A % full Holding Tank turns on a red
warning light. Switching the water pressure Pump
on also turns on a red warning light. Spring
loaded switches save power by activating circuits
only when manually depressed. Four 20 amp
reset type circuit breakers are provided for the
12 volt DC power circuits.
50
WATER LEVEL INDICATOR:
The Water Level Indicator has a manual
compensator which allows the customer to
accurately adjust the unit for correct readings ir
all types of water. The unit also has a solid
state voltage regulator which prevents inaccurate
readings due to voltage f,luctuations.
To calibrate the water level meter, complete -
the following:
1. Fill the tank with water.
2. PRESS and HOLD the switch on thE
front of the panel, in the meter or
test position.
3. While holding the switch down, turn
the LEVEL ADJUST KNOB on the
front of the panel until the meter
reads FULl.
The water level meter is now calibrated. TI
ensure accurate readings, recalibrate the meter
each time the tank is filled.

HOLDING TANK LEVEL INDICATOR:
I The Holding Tank Circuit receives a signal
I 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 Level
Adjust control allows the meter to be adjusted
to read FULL when it is less than full. The
I Blue switch must be depressed to read the tank
I
level.
,., When you switch your Thermasan control to
the "On" position as you travel down the
highway, the green light will glow indicating that
the system is Ready. .
As the speed of your veh icle reaches thirty
plus miles per hour, the specially designed Speed
Sensor in line between the transmission and
speedometer sends a message to the electronic
monitoring circuit.
Simultaneously, the Thermasan Heat Sensor is
the adequate BTU 'flow in the engine
exhaust. When a superheated condition is
reached that annihilates the millions of bacteria
cracks the odor molecules and disintegrates the'
51
sol ids into micron sizes, another message is
transmitted to the controls,
When both heat and speed conditions are
met, the Metering I njection Pump is actuated to
withdraw the wastes from the holding tank and
transfer it through the corrosion-resistant,
heat-tolerant, impact-proof connection system. At
this point, the Red Reaction Light signals the
driver that wastes are moving through the lines
- "Destination Waste Destruction."
The Holding Tank Evacuation Probe is a
self-cleaning, non-clogging screen that removes the
waste suspension which has been created by
holding tank agitation and bio-chemical reaction.
The line flow is governed by the pump to assure
just the right positive displacement rate to allow
complete waste destruction.
Wastes are introduced into a high volume
stream of heat energy in the engine exhaust
through the stainless-steel Thermasan Sanijector
which is affixed to the exhaust pipe at its
hottest point. The Sanijector will not affect
engine back pressure or the life of the exhaust
system and insures complete waste dispersion for
instant into a bacteria-free, invisible,
harmless emission that complies with Federal
Register, Volume 33, No. 108, Par. 2, and
National Sanitation Foundation Standard No. 24.
f
l
HOW TO WINTERIZE YOUR THERMASAN SYSTEM
Fill 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 dump
valve and leave the tank empty.
When dry, close the dump valve and add a
little lubricating oil to both the tank valve and
the toilet valve. Drain or blow the water out of
the toilet bowl overflow trap. Drain the water
from the inlet lines to your toilet.
