Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
Travel Trailer Sway Control (customer supplied)
Sway control devices are available to reduce the sway produced by crosswinds, air displace-
ment caused by other vehicles passing you in transit, incorrect weight distribution, excessive
speed, the RV tires dropping onto the shoulder of the road, etc. The use of sway control will
help to control the side-to-side movement and keep sway in check. Consult your dealer for
additional information.
A sway control device (customer supplied) should be used with your tow ve-
hicle/travel trailer combination. Consult with your Dealer to obtain the proper
equipment for your needs.
Suggestions for sway situations:
Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator.
Turn the steering wheel as little as possible. Natural lag time reaction when coun-
ter-steering to correct sway could possibly make it worse.
If the trailer is equipped with electric brakes, using the hand control will help to
keep the vehicles aligned.
As soon as possible, stop to determine the cause of the sway. Check all equipment
and load distribution. If the problem cannot be solved immediately, contact your
dealer for a service appointment. Reduce your speed until the issue is resolved.
