Vinyl Tire Cover (if so equipped)
Your tires are manufactured with components that cause "bleeding" onto the tire cover. To
prevent this, it is recommended to use a separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.) between
the tire and the cover.
Seasonal Set-Up
If you are setting up in a seasonal campsite, consult your authorized dealer for guidelines in
properly setting up your travel trailer. Proper set up will insure your safety along with get-
ting the most effective use from your RV and its features.
You should also familiarize yourself with all site requirements and local zoning ordinances
that may apply.
When setting up your seasonal campsite make sure:
The campsite is properly graded and sloped to prevent water accumulation under
the travel trailer.
All load bearing supports and footings meet the local enforcement agency require-
ments for size, capacity and application.
