Parking Procedures; Towing Hitch - Tiffin Motorhomes WAYFARER 2017 Owner's Manual

PARKING PROCEDURES

To park the motorhome in any unfamiliar terrain, examine the site for surface irregularities,
slopes or inclines, and other items such as stumps, rocks, external connections for
power/water/sewage and also examine the area immediately above the parking site for
obstructions like tree branches and limbs, signs, overhead wiring.
If the motorhome is to be backed into the parking site, try to have that site be on the driver's
left-hand side, as this will allow the driver to watch the rear of the motorhome. Back up slowly
and use the side mirrors and the back-up camera as a guide or, better yet, have another person
outside providing guidance to help park the motorhome.
When the motorhome is finally situated, shift the transmission into park, set the foot-operated
park brake, and then turn "off" the engine.
If the motorhome is to be powered externally, connect the 120 VAC power to the motorhome.
Turn "on" the LP gas valve at the LP tank. Connect the fresh-water supply and sanitize the
water systems as needed. Connect the waste drain hose to the external sewer hook-up. Start
the refrigerator, water heater, and furnace; as warranted. Light the oven pilot light, as needed.
Certain appliances, such as the refrigerator, will not work properly, if the motorhome is not
level, so be sure to complete the motorhome-leveling process before activating any of the
appliances.

TOWING HITCH

The Wayfarer is fully capable of towing
typical motor vehicles.
The motorhome is equipped with a
Class 2; 5,000-pound towing hitch
(Figure 2-10) and associated
connector.
The wiring connector features a 7-pin
connector. The tongue weight is not to
exceed 10 percent of the towing
capacity. If it is desired to connect a
trailer brake actuator, the plug for the
actuator is located to the left of the
steering column under the dash.
The motorhome is capable of towing light loads and instructions are found in the chassis-manufacturer's
literature in the Owner's Information Package provided with the Wayfarer.
