Fleetwood 1997 Discovery Owner's Manual page 55

Driving your motor home will be different from dtiving your
family car or uuck. Your motor home is large and heavy. You
may have to adjust or learn new driving techniques to safely
operate your motor home.
Your motor home is equipped with a diesel engine. Diesel-
equipped vehicles are less responsive than gas-powered
vehicles. Acceleration will be slower. Attempts at "jack-
rabbit" starts fi'Om stops may damage the engine and drive-
u'ain components. If you anticipate overtaking and passing
other vehicles, remember that your motor home may not
achieve the required speed as quickly as you expect.
