Towing
If your RV is equipped with the Command Control Bluetooth system, make sure you turn off
your battery disconnect switch according to the following instructions.
BEFORE TOWING YOUR RV ON THE ROADWAY: TURN
OFF THE BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH!
Certain components inside the RV can unexpectedly activate which
could result in personal injury or property damage.
A caution label has been placed in an area near the battery disconnect switch on your RV.
The Jayco luxury fifth wheel models have the battery disconnect switch located in the same
compartment with the propane tanks. Depending on the model of RV and manufacturer
(Jayco or Highland Ridge) your RV will have one of these two labels shown below.
Your RV braking system is rated for operation at GVWR not GCWR.
Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid
or debris in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing characteristics and
may result in property damage or personal injury.
The propane cylinder(s) should be turned off when traveling. Most re-
frigerators will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours without running
while you travel.
Your RV will travel safely and comfortably at highway speed limits. It will take longer than
a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Allow more time to go around vehicles you are
passing. Avoid situations that might require sudden momentum changes as the length of the
tow vehicle/RV combination affects your ability to quickly cut back into traffic. Swerves
and sharp turns, especially at high speeds, could result in loss of control of the tow vehicle/
RV. Slow down in advance of dips, bumps and railroad tracks to reduce the jolting to your
tow vehicle/RV combination. Proceed slowly and let the trailer tires pass over them before
accelerating.
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect the performance and han-
dling of your tow vehicle. Do not operate the tow vehicle cruise control on icy or extremely
wet roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic or in any other traffic situation where a constant
speed cannot be maintained.
When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear or range. Avoid conditions that
