  • Page 20: Chapter 3 Using Your Rv

    CHAPTER 3 USING YOUR RV In this chapter, you will find three areas of useful information to assist you with correct equipment, traveling, and finally, actually using your recreational vehicle. EQUIPMENT Tow Vehicle Begin your camping experiences by obtaining a tow vehicle which will adequately transport your recreational vehicle to and from your chosen destinations.

  • Page 21: Front Landing Jacks

    is adjustable at two inch intervals for variance in trucks and their suspension systems. For best performance while towing any recreational vehicle, have both as level as possible. When towing out of level, weight on axles will not be equalized. Axle on lowest end will carry more weight approximately 100 lbs.

  • Page 22: Traveling

    IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. TRAVELING Weights For safety reasons and federal regulations, KZRV desires to provide the most accurate weight specifications possible to our new owners. On the exterior left front corner of the coach you will find the Federal PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com...

  • Page 23: Weighing Vehicle (Loaded Or Unloaded)

    “Vehicle Identification Number” sticker. While required by the federal government, this tag supplies much more information concerning your coach, such as: VIN number, date/month of manufacture, tire size rating, plus information about weights as described below. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): is the value specified as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.

  • Page 24: Loading The Trailer-Distribution

    The second sticker is “Trailer Weight Information” located on the inside screen entry door. It, again, gives you the GVWR plus two other weight information items, and their descriptions. SAMPLE DECAL RECREATIONAL VEHICLE TRAILER CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY V.I.N. 4EZH02495061659 THE WEIGHT OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED ___1785__kg or___4725__lbs CAUTION: A full load of water equals __452__kg or __996__lbs of cargo@ 1kg/L(8.3lb/gal)
  • Page 25 Excessive weight behind axle, tends to develop sway and “fishtailing” of the trailer. KZRV does not restrict what cargo you choose to carry, providing: weight limits and capacities are not exceeded, distribution of weight is performed as listed in this manual, possibly affecting warranty coverage due to overweight and improper handling during travel.

  • Page 26: Towing

    7. Remember to drive slower on wet and icy highways to keep control of your vehicle. Tires All KZRV towable coaches are equipped with appropriate tires for recreational vehicles. Tires are radial in design using components to offer excellent strength and mileage in all kinds of weather conditions.

  • Page 27: Safety First-Basic Tire Maintenance

    CAUTION It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each journey, and at least once per week to obtain the maximum life of the tires. With proper care, the performance of fuel economy and handling on the road will be better.

  • Page 28: Steps For Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure

    For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle. Gauges can be purchased at tire dealerships, auto supply stores, and other retail outlets. Steps for Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure Step 1: Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle’s tire information placard, or certification label.

  • Page 29: Tire Balance And Wheel Alignment

    wear indicators that let you know when it is time to replace your tires. These indicators are raised sections spaced intermittently in the bottom of the tread grooves. When they appear “even” with the outside of the tread, it is time to replace your tires. Another method for checking tread depth is to place a penny in the tread with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you.

  • Page 30: Maximum Load Rating

    This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions. TIRE SPEED RATING Each original tire installed on KZ RV recreational vehicle have a speed rating of 75 MPH or greater, Please note maximum load rating, tire pressure and speed rating as imprinted on the sidewall of tire.

  • Page 31: How Overloading Affects Your Rv And Tires

    Water and propane also need to be considered. The weight of fully filled propane containers is considered part of the weight of the RV before it is loaded with cargo and is not considered part of the disposable cargo load. Water however, is a cargo weight and is treated as such.

  • Page 32: How To Change A Tire

    should never exceed the tire limitation for load or air pressure. If you discover that your tires cannot support the actual weights, the load will need to be lightened. Note: Tires are warranted by the manufacturer of their respective brand and are to be serviced and warranted by a service center.

  • Page 33: Wheel Bearings

    Wheel Bearings All wheel bearings are pre-lubricated during assembly of axles and brakes. Your coach ( since 2004 ) may have “ultrulube” method, which includes grease cap and plug. To lubricate bearings, remove rubber cap and use standard grease gun, place 6 to 8 shots of grease into bearings, ( if you forgot to repack the bearings ), before leaving on your trip.
