Section 4: Vehicle Operation
When using full hook-up, connect the sewer hose to the campsite sewer hook-up.
If applicable, start the refrigerator and the cooling or heating system.
NOTE: For extended dry camping, management of all your resources
is essential. Check your battery levels and conserve battery power, use it
sparingly

Emergency Stopping

Always carry road flares or reflective warning signs. Pull off the roadway as far as possible
for emergency stopping. Turn ON your vehicle hazard warning flashers. If traveling at
night, use three red warning indicators such as flares, reflectors or lanterns as required by the
Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic Ordinance as follows:
1. Place the first warning indicator on the traffic side of the recreation vehicle, directed at
the nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100 feet behind the recreation vehicle in the center
of the lane and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet in front of the recreation vehicle in the center
of the lane and away from the traffic approaching from behind.
NOTE: Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of warning
indicators.
For personal safety, always stand off the road and out of the way of traffic.

Please contact an emergency road service provider or a qualified service facility for assis-
tance,
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the information contained

by towing equipment.

to the exterior of your unit. Damage resulting from misplaced straps is
