• Ensure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Proper inflation should be
monitored closely. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating of a tire, which could
result in a blowout.
• Check and tighten wheel lugs after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and then again after 50
miles. Check periodically thereafter.
• Check brakes in a safe area - not while traveling a busy highway.
• Always block trailer wheels solidly before unhitching.
• Before leaving a camp area with a trailer in tow, insure that the safety pin or locking
lever is seated, breakaway wire is attached to tow vehicle, the jack is raised so that it
cannot touch the ground, the dolly wheel removed, 120-volt electrical cord properly
stored, safety chains are connected, and all interior lights are off.
• Observe the warning labels attached to your vehicle concerning LP gas, water, electricity
and loading.
• Observe the maintenance chart in Chapter 7 related to your respective unit.

As with your automobile, it is important that you protect yourself and others with
