Additional Safety Considerations

1. Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see
sanitizing instructions).
2. Keep water connection fittings from coming in contact with the
ground or drain hose to reduce chance of contamination.
3. Enlist services of a Qualified RV Technician to test, repair or
replace propane or electrical appliances.
4. Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily
accessible location.
5. Insure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated.
Watch tire inflation closely. Under-inflated tires will overheat.
Check the tire pressure before each trip while the tires are cold.
6. Check and tighten the wheel lugs regularly (every 50 miles when
new until 200 miles are reached and then check the lugs every
500 miles).
7. Check the brakes BEFORE entering in a busy highway, not while
traveling.
8. Always block the trailer wheels solidly before unhitching.
9. Before leaving a camp area with a trailer in tow, insure:
a. The safety pin or locking lever is seated.
b. The breakaway wire is attached to the tow vehicle.
c. All jacks are raised so that they cannot touch the ground.
d. The 110-volt AC electrical cord is properly stored.
e. The safety chains are attached to receiver.
f. All interior lights are off.
10. Observe and obey the warning labels attached to your vehicle
concerning propane, water, electricity and loading.
11. Extinguish all campfires before leaving your campsite.
