Back up the tow vehicle so the hitches are about two feet apart. -
Page 20: Hitching The Travel Trailer
When using lubrication pads make it a matter of routine maintenance to inspect for pad wear. Before and after each trip, all nuts, bolts, safety pins and other hitch related hardware should be inspected. 1. Inspect the kingpin box mounting bolts at least every 2,000 miles. Using a torque wrench, tighten kingpin box bolts to 60 to 70 ft. -
Page 21: TypesOfHitches
Types of Hitches Weight-Carrying Hitch: The tow vehicle rear axles and tires, with a weight carrying hitch, must carry all trailer tongue weight. With heavier trailers this causes the vehicle to lower itself over the rear axle, causing a weight shift from the front wheels. -
Page 22: RideHeightAngle
• Attach breakaway cable to the tow vehicle, allowing enough slack for making tight turns. The breakaway switch cable should be attached to a place on the tow vehicle separate from the hitch assembly. Periodically pull out the breakaway switch pin and attempt to drive forward. If the breakaway system is operating correctly the trailer wheels will not turn. -
Page 23: Backing Up The Recreational Vehicle
Backing up the recreational vehicle When backing up the driver should be comfortable using the mirrors and/or the co-pilot’s directions for assistance. Practice using the co-pilot’s guidance in a large, unobstructed parking lot. Select a solid, level site, located on the roadside with a direct field of vision from the roadside mirror. If the site is on the curbside the driver will have to use the curbside mirror for backing up, which has a blind spot. -

Page 123: Lp-Gas System
LP-Gas system This section contains information and knowledge for the operation and care of the various Liquefied Petroleum (LP-Gas) system equipment found in the recreational vehicle. The recreational vehicle is equipped with several appliances and various equipment which are capable to operate on LP-Gas. Some items discussed may not be applicable to all units. -
Page 124: Operation
Operation Upon first application of power the detector cannot detect LP-Gas or sound the alarm for two minutes after it has been turned on. At the end of the start cycle the LED will turn green, indicating full operation. If an unsafe level of gas is detected, an alarm will immediately sound. -
Page 125: Care.of.the.detector
WARNING: If the alarm sounds and no danger is evident, open all doors and windows to air out the recreational vehicle. Exit the recreational vehicle and turn off the gas at the LP tank. Do not enter the recreational vehicle until the alarm stops. If the alarm sounds again after the gas is turned back on, turn the gas off. -
Page 126: Lp-Gas Tank
LP-Gas tank Capacity The recreational vehicle LP-Gas system is designed to accommodate two 30 pound (7.08 gallons) storage tanks. This is the only approved size for use. Filling Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide and other publications list refueling stations. Many travel parks sell LP-Gas. -

LP-Gas VaLVes Operating & Monitoring Open both LP-Gas primary shut-off valves. The tank to which the “lever” on the changeover valves point is the service tank. As long as there is fuel in the service tank the full-empty indicator on top of the valve will show green. -
Page 128: Lp-Gas Regulator
LP-Gas reGuLator The regulator is the heart of an LP-Gas system. The LP-Gas in the tank is under high pressure. The regulator reduces the pressure of gas so it is safe to use with various appliances. The regulator on the recreational vehicle is a two-stage regulator. -
Page 129: Lp-Gas Distribution Lines
This formula can be useful when trying to determine the approximate length of time a tank of LP-Gas will last. Generally, LP-Gas appliances do not operate continuously. An example would be the typical cycling of the furnace or water heater. Determining How Long a Tank of LP-Gas Will Last: •... - Page 130 LP-Gas Tanks and Cylinders: An alloy steel two-piece welded and brazed tank is used on all towable products. The marking on the collar, DOT 4BA240, identifies the DOT specifications and service pressure. Other pertinent information included on the collar is the water capacity (WC) and the tare weight (TW), both of which are measured in pounds, and the Manufacture date (one of the most important items).
