Basic Set-Up Instructions

Introduction
As of the printing of this informative brochure,
Livin' Lite has produced a number of different
models, each with its own unique set up and you
should be sure to go over their set-up thoroughly
with the selling dealer prior to leaving the sales lot.
Set-Up Procedures
Before attempting to set up the trailer, carefully
read and understand these instructions. Setting
up your trailer requires forethought and care.
Your trailer is designed to be efficient and
comfortable. Careful attention to detail and
thoroughness during set up will ensure that
you will benefit from all the features and
comfort built into your trailer.
During storage or after your trailer has been set-
up, you may notice slight rippling or waviness
of the aluminum exterior sidewall panels if your
trailer is sitting in the sun. This is caused by the
normal expansion of the materials as they warm
up. As the temperature goes down these panels
will tend to return to their original shape. This
condition is typical and not covered under the
Livin' Lite Recreational Vehicles, Inc. warranty.
Leveling and Stabilization
Leveling of your trailer at the site is essential.
A level trailer is not only necessary for comfort
but stabilization is recommended to keep the
trailer from jouncing while unhitched when
people are moving inside the trailer.
Stabilizer jacks are intended to stabilize the
trailer body while the trailer's full weight is
supported by the tongue jack and running
gear. Stabilizer jacks are not designed to lift
or support its entire weight.
Conventional Trailer Leveling Procedures
1. If the site is not an asphalt pad, concrete
slab or other prepared surface, be sure it
is as level as possible. Be sure the ground
surface is not soft and will support the
weight of the trailer on the stabilizing jacks
or other support devices.
2. Before uncoupling, level the trailer from side
to side with suitable lengths of 2" x 6" wood
blocks under the trailer wheels. Place the
2" x 6" wood blocks on the ground surface
forward of the trailer wheels, and tow the
trailer onto the 2" x 6" blocks. Block the
trailer wheels so the trailer cannot roll.
3. Uncouple the trailer from the tow vehicle
and level the trailer front to rear. It may be
necessary to place a sturdy 2" x 6" wood
block under the jack post to support the
jack post on soft ground surfaces.
4. Check the level of the trailer with a
carpenter's level
lengthwise on the trailer floor. Acceptable
level is when the bubble is within the
marked area of the bubble level.
5. After stabilizing the trailer, be sure the
trailer frame is not twisted, buckled, or
stressed. Check that the door operates
freely and does not bind.
6. Before resuming travel, be sure all
stabilizers are removed or fully retracted.
I
Do not attempt to raise or otherwise
place all of the weight of the trailer on the
stabilizer jacks.
I
Aftermarket stabilizer stands must be
placed only under chassis frame rails.
