Leveling Your Trailer; Stabilizer Jacks; Tent Set Up - Jayco JAY SERIES Owner's Manual

Leveling Your Trailer

Leveling your RV is critical for several
reasons. Your camping experience will
be more pleasant in a level unit. It is
important for your RV to be level for
proper operation of items such as the
refrigerator, the slideout system and
draining tanks, if applicable.
Using blocks under the RV tires is a common way to level the unit. Blocks for this purpose
can be purchased from various RV resources or made out of wood. The proper size of
blocks are required to prevent causing damage to the tires. Make sure the blocks used cover
the entire footprint of the RV tire. Refer to Fig. 6 for proper tire blocking.

Stabilizer Jacks

1. Insert the crank onto the stabilizer jack shaft.
2. Turn it clockwise to lower the jack. Continue lowering the jack until the frame of the
trailer begins to rise slightly.
3. Equalize the jacks for best support. This may require that you adjust each jack several
times. When not parked on cement, you may wish to place a wood or hard plastic
block under the jack for convenience.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS TO LEVEL
THE UNIT. It is important to remember that the stabilizer jacks are to
be used only for support while occupying and moving around the
trailer. They are not designed to bear the weight of the trailer.

Tent Set Up

WARNING: Never leave your folding camping trailer plugged into the
120-volt AC outlet while it is folded down. This would make the
converter continue to run, which can cause overheating and present a
fire hazard.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the lifter system, never move your
folding camping trailer unless the roof is lowered as in the travel
position and the roof latches are fastened.
NOTE: Make sure that you have followed the procedures for seasoning the folding
camping trailer tent the first time you use it. Refer to the "Before You Travel..."
chapter for instructions to follow.
