using your camper.
This manual has been provided by Jayco, Inc. for the sole purpose of
providing instructions concerning the operation and maintenance of this vehicle
and its components. Nothing in this manual creates any warranty, either expressed
or implied. The only warranty offered by Jayco, Inc. is as set forth in the limited
warranty applicable to this vehicle.
The owner's failure to provide required service and/or maintenance could
result in the loss of warranty. The owner should review Jayco's limited warranty
and the limited warranties of all other manufacturers offering them that are

WARNING: Review the compatibility of your tow vehicle with
I
the trailer you will be towing. You should not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating of the trailer (GVWR). Know your loaded hitch
weight and select a hitch that is adequate for that weight. You, as the
owner, are responsible for the safey and compatibility of your tow
vehicle and trailer selections. Consult your hitch and tow vehicle
manufacturers with any questions before you tow your trailer. You are
responsible for the maintenance of your tow vehicle and trailer. Do not
exceed the tow or cargo capacity of your tow vehicle, and remember that
the GCVWR relates to towing capacity and does not necessarily indicate
braking capacity. Do not overload your trailer with additions, cargo, or
tank fluids to exceed the GVWR of the trailer. Do not load your trailer
so that it is unbalanced from front to rear or from side to side. You must
clearly understand how your particular tow vehicle capacities are
calculated. Make sure your tow vehicle is mechanically sound for your
intended usage and pay particular attention to suspension components,
tires and tire pressure. We recommend that you use sway control devices
and weight distributing hitches with all Jayco towable products. Many
states have lower speed limit requirements for tow vehicle/trailer
combinations. Obey all traffic laws and use your seatbelts at all times.
We recommend that you do not exceed 55 MPH when towing a trailer.
There are private RV driving schools and some RV clubs offer driving
seminars as part of their club activities. Recreation vehicle publications
and the Internet can be a source of information regarding RV driver
education as well as many other topics to help you learn to safely use
your recreation vehicle.
