dRIvINg & sAFETY
Section Two contains information on driving
tips, emergency situations, towing, safety
devices, weighing the motorhome and tires.
NOTE:
The motorhome has electronic
data recording devices that may
record information about direction,
road speed, engine speed, brake
application, steering attitude or
other vehicle operating data. Data
recording devices can be present in
engines, transmissions, ABS (Antilock
Brake Systems) or other systems
affiliated with operation of the vehicle.
Information from data recording
devices can be examined in case of
an accident. Contact the component
manufacturer to learn more about
these devices.
Inspections
Differences between a passenger automobile
and a motorhome are significant. Be aware of
these differences when traveling. The key to
safely operating the motorhome is inspection
and maintenance. Problems on the road can
result in lost time and increased repair costs.
Several states require a special driver's license
endorsement and vehicle inspection prior to
registration. Traffic laws do vary between
states. Be aware of these varying state traffic
laws.
Conduct a systematic detailed inspection
prior to moving the motorhome. Examine
the condition of the motorhome and the
surrounding area. Look "high and low" when
walking around the motorhome.

motorhome. The dashboard may include more
gauges and controls than are normally found
in passenger automobiles. Become familiar
with these gauges and their indications before
