WARNING: Review the compatibility of your tow vehicle with the trailer you will be
towing. You should not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating of the trailer (GVWR).
Know your loaded hitch weight and select a hitch that is adequate for that weight.
You, as the owner, are responsible for the safety and compatibility of your tow vehicle
and trailer selections. Consult your hitch and tow vehicle manufacturers with any
questions before you tow your trailer. You are responsible for the maintenance of
your tow vehicle and trailer. Do not exceed the tow or cargo capacity of your tow
vehicle, and remember that the gross combined vehicle weight rating (GCVWR)
relates to towing capacity and does not necessarily indicate braking capacity. Do not
overload your trailer with additions, cargo, or tank fluids to exceed the GVWR of the
trailer. Do not load your trailer so that it is unbalanced from front to rear or from side
to side. You should clearly understand how your particular tow vehicle capacities are
calculated. Make sure your tow vehicle is mechanically sound for your intended usage
and pay particular attention to suspension components, tires and tire pressure. We
recommend you use antisway devices and weight distributing hitches with all Jayco
towable products (excluding fifth-wheels, which use a different type of hitch). Many
states have lower speed limit requirements for tow vehicle/trailer combinations. Obey
all traffic laws and use your seatbelts at all times. We recommend that you do not
exceed 55 MPH when towing a trailer. Consult an expert for specific driver education
when towing a trailer. There are private RV driving schools and some RV clubs offer
driving seminars as part of their club activities. Recreation vehicle publications and
the Internet can be a source of information regarding RV driver education as well as
many other topics to help you learn to safely use your recreation vehicle.
