RAKING TOPPING
Your motor home 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.
When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear (or lower range if you
have automatic transmission). Avoid conditions that require excessive and
prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short intervals to give
them a chance to cool.
The vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling downhill speed and
can lengthen brake life. The distance required to stop the motor home is greater
than an automobile's. Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a slippery
surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.
Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance
or cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
