April 10, 2025

To start the refrigerator in a 2023 Grand Design Momentum 21G:

1. Press and hold the power button at the top of the refrigerator for a few seconds until it turns on.
2. Use the plus (+) or minus (–) buttons to adjust the freezer and refrigerator temperatures. The freezer and refrigerator sections are marked on the display.
3. Set the temperature; 5 is the coldest setting.
4. The refrigerator must be turned on manually whether using shore power or battery.

Note: This model uses a 12V refrigerator, not a propane one.

Page 184: Exterior Care
Exterior Care Exterior Care The RV exterior is comprised of many different materials includ- ing; fiberglass gel-coat, automotive grade paint finishes, plas- tics, glass, sealant, and aluminum. There is an increased chance of damage to the exterior finish, the longer a foreign substance remains on the surface. Fre- quent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your RV from this damage.
Page 185 Exterior Care • Carefully clean the joints and flanges of the slideout, doors, etc. where dirt is likely to remain. • If chalking occurs, first wash and wax a small area to see if the luster returns. • Have your dealer inspect the RV If the exterior becomes scratched, nicked or cracked.
Page 186 Exterior Care Cleaning the Exterior, Continued Waxing your RV Wax your RV once or twice a year, or when painted surfaces do not shed water well. Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of wax to the painted surfaces. After the wax has dried, polish the RV with a dry, soft cloth.

Page 202: Glossary
Glossary Glossary AC ELECTRICITY—Alternating current also known as shoreline power. For purposes of this manual, it refers to 120-volt AC (abbreviated 120 VAC). AMP—Short for ampere, the electric current unit of measure. RV sites with electric hookup will specify the maximum amps supported, which generally come in units of 20, 30, or 50 amps. The RV power connector must match the various plugs of the site amp rating.
Page 203 12-volt DC (abbreviated 12 VDC). DEALER—For purposes of this manual, this refers to the independent dealer authorized to sell and/or service your camper by Grand Design RV. This term will be used in this context unless specified otherwise.
Page 204 Glossary DRAIN TRAP—This is the curve that is in all drains. Water is trapped in the curve and creates a barrier so tank odors cannot escape through the drain. DRY CAMPING—Camping when there is no city water hookup or shore power (i.e., using only the water and power available in the camper and not from any other source).
Page 205 Glossary FULL TIMERS OR FULL TIMING—The term used for people who live in their RV full time, or at least the vast majority of their time. GALLEY—The kitchen in an RV. GENERATOR—An engine powered device fueled by gasoline or diesel fuel, and some- times propane, for generating 120-volt AC power.
Page 206 Glossary HEAT STRIP—A heat strip is an electric heating element located in the air conditioning system with the warm air distributed by the air conditioner fan and ducting system. They are typically 1500 watt elements (about the same wattage as an electric hair dryer) and have limited func- tion.
Page 207 Glossary JACKKNIFE—90% angle obtained from turning/backing fifth wheel or travel trailer with tow vehicle. Jackknifing a short bed truck towing a fifth wheel without the use of a slider hitch or extended fifth wheel pin box can result in damage to the truck cab or breaking out the back window of the truck cab from the truck and fifth wheel "colliding".
Page 208 Glossary PART TIMERS—The term used for people who use their RV more than usual (more than just a few weekend trips a year), but who still use it less than full time. PATIO MAT—Carpet or woven mat for use on ground outside of RV. Used whether or not a concrete patio pad is available where camping.
Page 209 Glossary SELF CONTAINED—RV which needs no external electrical, drain or water hookup. Thus, it can park overnight anywhere. Of course, self-contained units can also hook up to facilities when at campgrounds. SANITIZATION—Refers to the camper’s fresh water system that has been sanitized with chlorine bleach before use or after storage.
Page 210 Glossary TRAILER BRAKES—Brakes that are built into the trailer axle systems and are activated ei- ther by electric impulse or by a surge mechanism. The overwhelming majority of RVs utilize electric trailer brakes that are actuated when the tow vehicle's brakes are operated, or when a brake controller is manually activated.
Page 211 Glossary WEIGHT & LOAD—These terms are generally used interchangeably. For the purposes of understanding RV applications: Vehicles have WEIGHT, which impart LOADS to tires, axles and hitches. Scale measurements taken when weighing, are LOADS carried by the tires. The measured "loads" are used to calculate Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Axle Weight (GAW), Gross Combination Weight (GCW), and hitch loads.
