most motorhomes will be easier to work on
if they are raised by a hoist of ramps. This
can be accomplished by driving the vehicle upon
several sections of 2 x 12 lumber nailed together
to form a wedge. Figure 1 shows how these
ramps may be constructed if you are doing your
own installation.
4.
CAUTION: Motorhomes are very heavy.
whatever methods are used to elevate the
vehicle must be of sufficient capacity for the
vehicle weight involved. never work under any
vehicle supported only by a jack of any kind. dO
NOT USE concrete blocks or other masonry items
that may collapse under the vehicle weight.
5.
Pay particular attention to the routing of any
wires. keep them away from exhaust heat,
moving parts and sharp edges that may cause
cuts or other damage. route or tie wires away
from critical areas as required. keep all wires a
minimum of 6” from hot exhaust parts, 8” or more
is recommended whenever possible.

A general assembly diagram is provided in
addition to the specific step or section
diagrams in the text (Figure 2 ). The general
assembly diagram shows relationships of
individual components for reference: however,
numbered step-by-step procedures should be
followed for proper assembly sequence.

The banks motorhome Stinger is designed
to fit Class “A” 454 Chevrolet engine/

have to be relocated or modified to accommodate
the banks stinger.
