INTERIOR CHECK LIST (BEFORE DRIVING OFF)
13. Check rear view mirror adjustment, inside and outside. Adjust curtains if necessary for maximum
visibility.
14. Secure children in a Federally Approved Child Restraint Device.
15. Fasten your lap belts.
16. Check that step light goes out and that electric step has retracted.
SAFETY SEAT BELTS
In the forward driver's area of the motorhome, safety seat belts are provided for the use of the driver and the
right front passenger. Safety belts are available for other seats. It is strongly recommended that all
occupants remain seated with their safety belts firmly attached while the motorhome is in transit. The driver
should adjust his seat so that he is able to reach all controls easily with the belt on, especially able to use all
the travel on the foot brake. The belt should be placed as low as possible around the hips to prevent sliding
out from under them in case of accident. This places the load of the body on the strong hipbone structure
instead of around the soft abdominal area. Two people should never try to use the same seat belt.
Warning:
Device. Failure to use proper restraints while in transit can result in severe or fatal injuries.
Child restraint devices are designed to be secured with lap or lap/shoulder belts. All instructions supplied
by the restraint manufacturer must be followed. Statistics have shown children are safer when properly
restrained in a rear seating position than in a front seating position.
Often the children traveling in motorhomes are grandchildren. There are times when our love for
grandchildren makes us hesitate to properly supervise their actions. Don't hesitate when it comes to their
safety. Make sure they are properly restrained.
IF YOU WON'T BUCKLE UP FOR YOURSELF, BUCKLE UP FOR THEM.
