Driving Safety Tips
1. When backing the motorhome, have a
person stand to the rear on the driver's side
to guide you.
2. Before departing on the trip, check your
routes for height restrictions. Remember,
some tunnels prohibit motorhomes with LP
gas systems.
3. While travelling, make sure all occupants
correctly use their seatbelts.
4. While travelling, make sure all doors are
closed and that cabinets, drawers, and
loose objects are secure.
5. Instruct your family about what to do in case
of fire, and periodically hold fire drills.
6. Maintain a properly charged fire extinguisher.
7. Ensure LP Gas and smoke detectors are
unobstructed and in proper working order at
all times.
8. Keep a well-stocked first aid kit onboard the
motorhome.
9. Check tires often while travelling. Make it
a habit to check tire pressures before each
trip, and each time you refuel.
10. If you have a cellular phone, carry it with
you for emergencies. Do not text or use the
phone while driving.
● Do not drink and drive. Do not allow
others to do so.
● Do not text and drive.
● Do not use a cell phone while driving.
Always use a hands-free system while
driving.
Travel Tips
As you travel with your motorhome, you will
learn a great deal from your own experiences.
Share your experience with other motorhome
owners, and learn from them as well. Read RV,
outdoor, and camping magazines for camping
and travel tips. The following basic suggestions
also may make your travel and camping easier
and more enjoyable:
1. Make sure all compartment, refrigerator, and
freezer doors are closed securely. Carefully
open these doors after travelling: the
contents may have shifted while travelling
and may fall when you open the door.
2. Know the height and width of your
motorhome,
and
clearance.
3. Use your mirrors while driving to determine
whether you are crowding the centre line or
the outside edge of the highway. Remember,
your motorhome requires a much different
driving style than your family car.
4. When towing a vehicle, make sure the
combined weight of the towed vehicle
does not exceed the GCWR as stated on
the vehicle certification label located on the
passenger door frame (US models only).
5. Check your route carefully before you travel.
Some jurisdictions prohibit vehicles with LP
gas containers to drive through highway
tunnels.
6. Fill your water tank with clean, fresh, potable
water only. Do not use a new hose to fill the
tank–it may leave a taste of rubber or vinyl.
7. Conserve water, especially when showering.
The holding tanks have a limited capacity.
8. Dump sewage only at approved dumping
sites.
9. Store all liquids in plastic containers with
tight seals.
10. Watch the levels in your holding tanks. Dump
regularly to avoid unnecessary buildup and
potential odor. After dumping, add water to
the black water tank to prevent solids from
settling in the tank. Without adequate liquid
in the black water tank, dumping can be
difficult or impossible.
11. Be careful not to leave odor-causing food or
materials in your motorhome for extended
periods of time. Make sure wet clothing and
towels are fully dried before storing.
12. Make sure your fire extinguisher is ready for
use and that you know how to operate it.
