MAINTAINING YOUR INVESTMENT...

Your trailer is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However, maintenance is

important to retain its condition as near new as possible and preserve the warranty. The

information in the following pages is supplied to provide guidance for your maintenance

routine. Many of the component part manufacturers supply information for their

equipment. Refer to all instructions supplied with your trailer when performing

maintenance. Proper maintenance will give you many trouble free miles.

NOTE: Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your trailer.

NOTE: Failure to properly maintain your trailer can cause numerous problems and

it voids Jayco's warranty as well as the warranties of many of the component part

manufacturers.

Caution: We recommend that you do not take your recreation vehicle through

automatic car washes. Extreme caution should be used if utilizing any type of

pressure sprayer around all attachments, doors, windows, appliance vents, etc.

Avoid forcing water inside the unit, which could possibly damage component parts.

Make sure that you have routine maintenance performed for your hitch system according to

the hitch manufacturer's recommendations. If you have questions, consult with your hitch

installer, independent, authorized dealer and/or the hitch manufacturer.

Refer to the landing gear manufacturer's instructions supplied with your trailer for

complete maintenance information. If you have questions, consult with your independent,

authorized dealer and/or the landing gear manufacturer.
