Rear Bumper; Holding Tank(S) And Trailer Weight (If Applicable) - Jayco Jay Feather 2005 Owner's Manual

Rear Bumper

I
CAUTION: Do not add items to the trailer's rear bumper. Attachments
to the bumper could damage the trailer and lead to adverse driving and
towing conditions.
Your trailer's rear bumper is not designed to accommodate items attached to or carried on
it. Damage from improper modifications to the trailer is not covered by the Jayco Limited
Warranty.

HOLDING TANK(S) AND TRAILER WEIGHT (IF APPLICABLE)

I
WARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste in
your holding tanks. Towing your trailer with one or more full or nearly
full holding tank(s), could cause towing difficulties and result in
property damage or personal injury.
The weight of holding tank contents are not calculated into the cargo carrying capacity of
the trailer. The extra weight will greatly diminish the cargo weight available to you.
Traveling with full holding tank(s) could possibly causing you to exceed the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) of the unit. Potential damage to suspension components, such as
springs, tires and axles, could result.
If your trailer's holding tank(s) are located behind the axles, the weight of a full tank will
reduce the hitch weight. Trailer sway and other handling difficulties can be the result of the
hitch weight being too light.
If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty the tank(s), use caution when
towing. Maintain lower speeds for better control of the trailer until you reach the nearest
dumping station.
