Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety related, but
the most important is your common sense. If you
are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable
material, or any other hazardous material, you
surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly
increased.
You will find many safety recommendations in this
section and throughout the manual. The following
recommendations are the ones we consider to be the
most important.

Appliances and Equipment

The appliances (stove, refrigerator, etc.) can be
operated on LP gas. LP gas is flammable and is
contained under high pressure. Improper use may
result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to
follow all instructions and warnings in this manual
as well as those in the specific owner's manuals of
the appliances and equipment.

Lug Nut Torquing

Making sure lug nuts on trailer wheels are tight and
properly torqued is an important responsibility that
trailer owners and users need to understand and
practice. Inadequate and/or inappropriate wheel nut
torque (tightness) is a major cause of lug nuts
loosening in service. Wheel Lug Nuts should be
torqued at (95ft.lbs) Loose lug nuts can rapidly
lead to a wheel separation resulting in potentially
serious safety consequences. See torque pattern
below.

Tire Safety

Properly maintained tires improve stopping,
traction, and load-carrying capability of your
vehicle. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety
Manual included with your owner's packet

Towing and Weight Distribution

Weight distribution is an important factor when
loading your travel trailer. A camper with the cargo
distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-
free towing.

Control Sway

Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a
trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of
your trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and
tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death.

Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which
could cause an accident or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
in addition to notifying nüCamp RV, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open
an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect
exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or nüCamp RV, Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle
Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-
800- 424-9153), go to http://www.safercar.gov, or
write to:
Administrator,
NHTSA,
