WARNING: For traveling safety, it is extremely important to read,
understand and follow the towing, hitching and loading cargo
information provided in the "Before you Travel..." chapter. If you do
not understand the information provided, please consult your
independent, authorized dealer.
• Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).
• Prevent water connections from coming in contact with the ground or drain hose to
reduce chance of contamination.
• Have a certified RV technician repair and maintain the gas or electrical appliances.
• Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily accessible location.
• Carefully read the loading section in the "Before you Travel..." chapter related to
your trailer.
• Ensure that the tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Monitor the tire
pressure closely for proper inflation. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating
of a tire, which could result in a blowout.
• Check and tighten the wheel lugs after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and then again
after 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers). Check periodically as described in the axle
manufacturer's manual thereafter.
• Check the brakes in a safe area - not while traveling on a busy highway.
• Always block the trailer wheels solidly before unhitching from the tow vehicle.
• Never move the unit while people are inside.
• Before leaving a camping area towing a trailer, refer to the "Preparing to Travel
Home..." chapter and review all applicable instructions.
• Observe the warning labels attached to your vehicle concerning LP gas, water,
electricity and loading.
