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. Always be aware of
these differences when traveling.
The key to safely operating
a motorhome is inspection.
Undetected problems could cause
problems on the road and may
result in lost time and increased
repair costs. Several states require
a special license endorsement and
motorhome inspection prior to
registration. Know and observe
the laws of the states in which
the motorhome will be traveling.
Laws vary from state to state. A
systematic inspection conducted
prior to moving the motorhome can
help ensure nothing is overlooked
and will assist in familiarizing the
owner with the motorhome.
Perform a general 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.

Familiarize Yourself

The location of the driver's seat
is higher and farther to the left than
most vehicles causing a different
perspective of the roadway. Use
the outside mirrors to gauge the
center of the road and to check
conditions behind the 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 starting out.

Mirror Adjust

Adjust the mirrors prior to starting
out. Have an assistant help to ease
the mirror adjustment process.
