Section 3: Pre-Travel Information Tow Vehicle If you plan to tow your recreation vehicle with a tow vehicle you already own, or if you plan to purchase a new one, make sure the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or your recreation vehicle does not exceed your tow vehicles towing rating.
Page 36
Section 3: Pre-Travel Information OCCC Label (Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity The upper portion of this yellow label is feder- ally required and includes the maximum Occu- pant & Cargo Carrying Capacity that may be placed in or on the trailer as it was manufac- tured and weighed before leaving the factory.
Section 3: Pre-Travel Information Loading Your Recreation Vehicle Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR for either axle. Overload- ing your RV may result in adverse handling characteristics and dam- age to the RV. DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight.
RV’s GVWR and the hitch weight. Using an oversized or undersized hitch can cause damage to the RV frame. Jayco cannot be responsible for the tow vehicle suspension system. The fi- nal ball height after the tow vehicle/travel trailer combination is completely hooked up is a factor that must be considered.
Page 39
Section 3: Pre-Travel Information Travel Trailer Hitching Procedure The following procedure will help to assist you in securely hooking up your recreation ve- hicle to your tow vehicle. Make sure the trailer wheels are blocked. Turn the tongue jack crank to raise the travel trailer tongue above the hitch ball. Open the coupler latch on the travel trailer hitch.
Page 40
Section 3: Pre-Travel Information Suggestions for sway situations: Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator. Turn the steering wheel as little as possible. Natural lag time reaction when coun- ter-steering to correct sway could possibly make it worse. If the trailer is equipped with electric brakes, using the hand control will help to keep the vehicles aligned.
Section 3: Pre-Travel Information Wire Harness/Connector Plug A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is wired into your trailer to connect electrical power from the tow vehicle for travel. This supplies power to the RV brakes, taillights, clearance lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc. Wiring to operate your brakes must be the same size in both the tow vehicle and RV (the RV brake wiring is 12-gauge wire).
Page 42
Section 3: Pre-Travel Information Your RV must be weighed fully loaded (with food, clothing, fuel, water, propane, supplies, etc). Weigh the RV including the tongue weight, while detached from the tow vehicle. This actual overall weight must be less than or equal to the GVWR for safe operation. If the overall weight is greater than the GVWR, some contents must be removed until the actual overall weight is less than or equal to GVWR.
A caution label has been placed in an area near the battery disconnect switch on your RV. The Jayco luxury fifth wheel models have the battery disconnect switch located in the same compartment with the propane tanks. Depending on the model of RV and manufacturer (Jayco or Highland Ridge) your RV will have one of these two labels shown below.
Page 44
Section 4: Vehicle Operation When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear or range. Avoid conditions that require excessive and prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short inter- vals to allow them to cool. The tow vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling downhill speed and can lengthen brake life.
Page 45
Section 4: Vehicle Operation The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your RV’s electric brake opera- tion. To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle battery and charging system working properly. Brake Controller (customer supplied) The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work in conjunction with the RV electric brakes.
If you do not have a Jayco factory installed hitch receiver, towing items behind your Jayco RV, or overloading the rear, will void the warranty and may result in: damage to the RV or add-on items, towing difficulties, property dam- age and/or personal injury.
Page 47
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Stowable Entrance Door Step (if so equipped) Do not try to lift the steps while the door is closed. This may cause dam- age to the steps and the door. When returning steps to the stored position: adjustable feet may have to be retracted to fit inside the door opening.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Lift the steps and rotate up into the doorway. Steps will automatically latch into brackets on each side of the door frame as they are lifted in place. 10. Close the entrance/screen door Entrance Door Always hold onto the entrance door when opening or closing it. Damage caused because you failed to do so is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Stabilizer Jacks DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS TO LEVEL THE RV. It is important to remember that the stabilizer jacks are to be used only for support while occupying and moving around the RV. They are not designed to support the weight of the RV.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation 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: Place the first warning indicator on the traffic side of the recreation vehicle, directed at the nearest approaching traffic.

Dropping it can cause the instrument • to lose reliable calibration. Damaged tools must not be used and must be removed from service for evaluation •...
Page 54
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Tire wear should be checked frequently. Once a wear pattern becomes firmly established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is cor- rected. Tire Pressure Failure to follow proper inflation guidelines may result in tire failure, which, under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or accidents that may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Your RV may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The system has sensors installed on the tire valve stems. Tire temperatures and pressures are displayed only on the JayCommand Smartphone App, which connects through Bluetooth to your BM- Pro Mini control system.
Page 56
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Rotating the tires: TPMS sensors – DO NOT MOVE WITH THE TIRES! The TPMS sensor on the front tire (on either side of the trailer) STAYS at the front tire position when rotating tires. The TPMS sensor on the middle tire (on either side of a 3 axle trailer) STAYS at the middle tire position when rotating tires.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation Installing tire sensors Tire sensors come already paired to the RVMaster system from the factory. Sensors come on a card (See TPMS sensor kit photo above), that shows where each sensor should be installed on the RV.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation To raise the recreational vehicle, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main frame rail. It must be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire. Tire Replacement Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire manufacturer or the store representing the brand installed on your recreation vehicle.

Section 4: Vehicle Operation Vinyl Tire Cover (if so equipped) Your tires are manufactured with components that cause “bleeding” onto the tire cover. To prevent this, it is recommended to use a separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.) between the tire and the cover. Seasonal Set-Up If you are setting up in a seasonal campsite, consult your authorized dealer for guidelines in properly setting up your travel trailer.
Page 61
Section 4: Vehicle Operation The procedure for tying down the travel trailer is as follows: Position and install the ground anchors to line up with the provided tie-down brackets. Connect the straps to the frame and ground anchors. Tighten the straps using the tensioning device provided with the ground anchors. Use caution to avoid over-tensioning the straps as this may pull the trailer off the piers.
Section 4: Vehicle Operation To reinstall the hitch, reverse these steps (tighten the bolts to 60-70 ft/lbs torque). It is your responsibility to take your travel trailer to the dealer for warranty or service repair (refer to the Limited Warranty). Awnings (if so equipped) Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV in transit.
Section 5: Slideout Systems Electric Slide Room(s) (if so equipped) The mechanical components of the slide out are gear driven. Electric powered slideout room systems have a manual override to allow you to extend or retract the slideout room(s) in case of a power loss.

Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores. Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.
Section 6: Electrical System Solar Prep (if so equipped) Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug in that will allow the batteries to be trickle charged using a free standing solar panel. In most models, the solar panel kit is a customer purchased and installed option.
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System Exhaust Gas Fumes Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless. If you are in a recreation vehicle with either a nearby tow vehicle engine running or the generator (if so equipped) running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into the recreation vehicle.
Page 98
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System recommended. Hand tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as over tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak. NOTE: All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time of manufacture.
Page 99
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System Be sure to securely re-install DOT cylinder(s) after they have been removed for filling or replacement. Always close the service valve and install a dust cap or plug when transporting or storing disconnected containers whether full or empty. ASME tanks are permanently mounted to the RV and are commonly used on RV mo- torhomes.
Page 100
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System LP Gas Container Overfill Never allow your propane tank to be filled above the maximum safe level as indicated by the fixed liquid level gauge. Do not allow the visible gauge to be used for filling. Overfilling the propane container above the liquid capacity indicated on the container, could allow liquid propane to enter the system that is designed for vapor only creating a hazardous condition.
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System at the end of the propane supply hose is made of brass so that pipe sealants are not necessary to prevent leaking. It also has a left-handed thread, which means that it is turned clockwise to remove, and counter-clockwise to tighten.
Page 102
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System Propane Leak Test Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration of the copper and brass components.
Page 103
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System Cooking With Propane Gas Do not turn gas range burner controls to ON and allow gas to escape before lighting. Do not use portable fuel burning equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal grills or stoves) inside the recreation vehicle. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreation ve- hicle.
Page 104
Section 7: Fuel & Propane System Traveling With Propane NOTE: Some states prohibit propane appliances to be operated dur- ing travel, especially in underground tunnels. Know the laws for the areas where you travel. Use care when fueling your motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers.

Section 8: Plumbing System NOTE: This light will not appear on touchscreens, RV remote controls or on a WiFi app, it will only appear on the Command Center switch panel. Fresh Water System All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system odors.
Section 8: Plumbing System 12-volt Water Pump and Switch There must be sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump when your recreation vehicle is not hooked up to city water. Once activated, the water pump (also known as the demand pump) will self-prime, and provide water.
Page 111
Section 8: Plumbing System Turn ON the water at the water source. Open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some “air pockets.” Allow these to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets. The water heater (if so equipped) will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
Section 8: Plumbing System Draining the Fresh Water System Water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A recreational vehicle with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to the water lines (normally located near the water tank). These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by opening the valves and all faucets.

Section 8: Plumbing System Bypass Mode: operation diverts the flow of water around the water heater keeping water out of the water heater. Hot water bypass valve handle (B) should point inline with the hot water outlet line. Cold water bypass valve handle (A) should point inline with the cold water inlet line.

Section 8: Plumbing System Put the sanitizer solution in the fresh water tank. Insert one end of a hose (or funnel) in the gravity fill inlet; insert the other end into a container holding the chlorine solution. Do not use your non-toxic drinking water hose. Pour the chlorine solution into the gravity fill.
Page 115
Section 8: Plumbing System NOTE: If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as necessary. The vinegar solution may damage the water heater or the water filter, so both must be bypassed again before performing this operation.

Section 8: Plumbing System NOTE: The winterization process may vary slightly due to different plumb- ing configurations between models. NOTE: Appliances must be winterized. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for possible additional information or contact Customer Service for assistance. If you chose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the follow- ing information before starting.
Page 117
Section 8: Plumbing System RV water filter should be removed for winteriz- ing. Refer to Water Purification System section. Your RV may have a cartridge type water filter. Remove the cartridge filter (if so equipped), and replace it with a bypass hose supplied with your RV.
Page 118
Section 8: Plumbing System Close the black tank drain. Winterizing with Antifreeze Method Requires non-toxic RV antifreeze in the water lines and does not require any special tools. Use ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other product or commodity should be used.
Page 119
Section 8: Plumbing System Water can accumulate in the flexible hose and dump connector of the macera- tor system. When winterizing the RV, antifreeze must be added to the macera- tor system. Winterizing the Macerator System (if so equipped) Ensure all tanks are empty. Pour RV antifreeze into the empty black water tank.
Section 8: Plumbing System Water Heater The water heater manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature when the water heater is activated. Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used the water heater for two weeks or more.
Page 121
Section 8: Plumbing System High altitude deration Operation of the water heater at high altitudes may require derating. If the water heater is not properly derated, lack of sufficient oxygen for combustion may produce improper burner operation. Pilot outage caused by burner lift-off or sooting from a yellow burner may occur, indicating the possibility of carbon monoxide.
Section 8: Plumbing System Outside Shower (if so equipped) A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water may be included for use outside of your recreational vehicle. Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water. Open the outside shower compartment door.
Section 8: Plumbing System The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at the faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal and does not indicate a leak or defect. Maintenance Refer the manufacturer’s user guide or label instructions for detailed cleaning information.

Section 8: Plumbing System Black/Grey Water Holding Tanks Dump the gray and black water holding tanks before traveling to avoid carrying unnecessary weight. The weight of the holding tank contents is not calculated into the RV cargo carrying capacity. Traveling with full holding tank(s) could cause you to exceed the individ- ual tire ratings and/or the RV GAWR or RV GVWR.
Page 125
Section 8: Plumbing System Black and Grey Tank Drains There are labels on the exterior of the recreation vehicle indicating the location of the grey and black tank drains (also called dump valves). Always drain the black water holding tank first so the grey tank wastewater can help rinse any solids or debris from the dump outlet and sewer hose.
Section 8: Plumbing System Black Tank Flush (if so equipped) The black tank flush inlet is typically located on the utility center panel. The location may vary depending on your model. The inlet color may be either white or black. Attach a garden hose connected to a pressurized fresh water source to the black tank flush inlet.
Page 127
Section 8: Plumbing System The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flush- ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank.

Section 9: Heating & Cooling Air Conditioner The air conditioning system is controlled by a thermostat. Cooled air enters the RV through the grill. Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating the air conditioner. Do not operate the air conditioner without the return air filter. Operating the system without the filter allows the lint and dirt that is normally stopped by the filter to accumulate on the cooling coil of the air conditioner.
Section 9: Heating & Cooling NOTE: For RV models with touch screens, the powered roof vent(s) may be controlled on one of the selectable screens on the touch screen. Ceiling Fan (If So Equipped) Be careful to avoid placing any object in the path of the ceiling fan blades! Turn the ceiling fan ON/OFF using an interior wall switch.

Be sure the ladder is securely in place before climbing to the upper bunk. When storing the wood ladder, place the bottom of the ladder back into the tray in the storage compartment.
Section 13: Exterior Cleaning The Exterior To protect your recreation vehicle’s exterior finish, wash it often and thoroughly. For recreation vehicles with painted exterior graphics, if desired you may wash and wax your vehicle 60 days after purchase. The exterior paint needs time to cure before any wax is applied to the exterior surface.
Page 152
Section 13: Exterior Drying the recreation vehicle is just as important as washing your vehicle. Tap and well water contain many chemicals that could water stain your vehicle’s finish. We suggest using a damp natural or synthetic chamois. Other drying products such as lint-free micro-fiber towels work as well.
Section 13: Exterior Damaged paint To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as soon as pos- sible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. Use the closest automotive paint (available locally) match possible when touch-up paint is needed.
Section 13: Exterior Windows Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms. Con- densation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the tracks. The window “glass” can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc.
