12 Interior Features
Bedspread
As a furnished part of the bedroom suite, a bedspread with matching pillow accessories (Figure 12-1) is included with the motorhome.
The bedspread and pillow shams are “for dry-cleaning only.” As the bedspread was made with materials treated for stain resistance, dry-cleaning will prolong the life of these materials. The curtains in the bedroom are colorcoordinated with the bedspread and accessories to provide a pleasing décor for the bedroom area.
Flooring
Porcelain ceramic tile (Figure 12-2 and Figure 12-3) is standard throughout the motorhome with the exception of the slide-out rooms, and the bedrooms, which are carpeted. For routine cleaning, sweeping or vacuuming the floor would be sufficient. If more thorough cleaning is warranted, the flooring can be cleaned with a damp mop and water. For more stubborn stains, a mixture of soap-free household cleaner (e.g., vinegar, ammonia, or comparable products) and water can be used.
Do not saturate the floor surfaces with water, as this could damage the flooring substrate. Do not use any abrasives (cleansers, scouring pads, and the like) as they can scratch or mar the flooring surfaces and might cause damage to the flooring.
Safe
The Allegro Bus contains a safe (Figure 12-4). This safe can be used to hold valuables, important documents, and other items you might want to protect during your travels. The safe is located in the rear bedroom closet.
Rear Fireplace
To operate the rear fireplace (Figure 12-5), Fireplace Enabled must have a green light on the Slides tab. The slide box containing the fireplace must be fully extended to operate the fireplace.
NOTE: If the fireplace is on and the slide containing the fireplace is retracted even for a second, the fireplace will deactivate, and Fireplace Enabled will cease to have a green light on the Slides tab. To return the functionality of the fireplace, fully extend the slide-out, and turn the fireplace back on. |
NOTE: The fireplace will not automatically turn back on if the slide is moved. Once Fireplace Enabled has a green light, the fireplace must be turned back on for operation. |
Heated Tile Floor (Optional)
Your Allegro Bus might be equipped with an optional heated tile floor. The heated tile floor does not heat the air but gently warms the surrounding surfaces and occupants, allowing for a lower thermostat setting than traditional heating methods while providing the same comfort level.
Peak floor temperature is 25-30 degrees above ambient floor temperature.
The system uses a controller (Figure 12-6) that regulates the floor temperature by means of a sensor built into the floor, thus ensuring that the temperature sensed by the controller and the owner are the same. The optional heated tile floor provides clean, quiet heat, with no blowers or transformers, and it creates no hum or noise. The thermostat makes a quiet clicking as it switches on.
For further operating instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s literature in the Owner’s Information Package.
Ceiling
The ceiling (Figure 12-7 and Figure 12-8) in the motorhome is covered with a padded-vinyl headliner, which can be easily cleaned with a damp, soft cloth, and a mild detergent.
Clean around all vent areas to prevent any build-up of dirt, grease, or other accumulations.
Ceiling Fan
The ceiling fan (Figure 12-9) operates on 12V power and features a two-speed fan (low and high).
There is a switch on the fan itself to allow for the desired rotation, clockwise or counter clockwise.
To change rotation, be sure the main fan switch is in the OFF position.
Window Treatment
Throughout the Allegro Bus, the window treatments consist of two shades—solar and blackout (Figure 12-10).
The solar shade enables one to see out during the daytime, motorhome. The blackout shade creates complete privacy for nighttime.
The shades are located on all the windows in the living area and the bedroom, as well as in the cockpit.
The shades can be controlled by using the automatic control switch (Figure 12-11).
Wall Sconce
The Allegro Bus comes with a decorative wall sconce (Figure 12-13), which provides an attractive lighting design to the interior of your motorhome.
