PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
chemicals used during the winter months will
damage the paint, inviting rust and other
deterioration. Periodically inspect the exterior
exposed areas, clean and repaint the steel
members occasionally and whenever you
notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure
protection.
If rust occurs, the frame should be cleaned and
painted.
We
recommend
Rust-Oleum®
Rusty
Rust-Oleum® gloss black paint (follow the
directions on the paint can). To prevent rust or
corrosion, you may wish to purchase a
commercial treatment application such as
Ziebart®, etc. Rust or frame damage resulting
from lack of routine maintenance voids the
Towable Limited Warranty.

The E-Z Lube feature on your axles provides
the ability for the bearings to be periodically
lubricated without removing the hubs from the
axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that
have been specially drilled and fitted with
grease zerks in their ends. When grease is
pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the
inner bearing and then flows back to the outer
bearing and eventually back out the grease
cap hole. An operator's manual is supplied by
the axle OEM that covers the maintenance of
your axles. If you have further questions,
consult with your independent, authorized
dealer and/or visit the manufacturer's website.
The convenient lubrication provisions of the
E-Z Lube and the oil lubrication must not
replace periodic inspection of the bearings.
Wheel Bearings
Your RV wheel bearings require maintenance
just as any other vehicle wheel bearings. Make
sure you read, understand and follow the axle
OEM operator's information. If you have
further questions, consult with your RV dealer
and/or visit the OEM website.

Proper care and maintenance of your tires is
essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel. Taking time to
become educated on the special qualities of
RV tires and care they require will enhance
your travel enjoyment. Refer to tire information
supplied with your trailer's literature.
Routine maintenance on your RV is important,
but it cannot be overstated just how critical
proper tire maintenance is to the safety,
operation and durability of your new RV. For
safe operation and maximum weight carrying
capacity, it is imperative that the tires are
inflated to and maintained at the listed tire
pressures on the Federal Certification label
affixed to the lower front corner of the exterior
roadside sidewall on the RV. You must follow
the manufacturer's inflation guidelines for
maximum load capacity; under-inflation is just
as dangerous as over-inflation.
