Section 4 - Towing & Set-Up - Jayco 2015 Jay Flight DST Owner's Manual

JAYCO TOWABLE
Driving safety and protection against injury cannot be fully ensured. However, we
recommend you pay special attention to the following:

Keep the tires inflated to the specified levels. Replace the tires before they
are excessively worn.

The propane cylinder(s) should be turned off when traveling. Most
refrigerators will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours without running while
you travel.

Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect the
performance and handling of your tow vehicle. Do not operate the tow vehicle
cruise control on icy or extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic or
in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be maintained.

IRE ARNESS
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, tail
lights, 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).
When attaching wires to your tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape all the
connections for moisture protection.
White 1 Ground
Blue 2 Brakes
Green 3 Running lights
Black 4 Auxiliary battery charge line
Red 5 Stop & left turn
Brown 6 Stop & right turn
Yellow 7 Back up
The connector plug may build up corrosion with extended use and should be
cleaned periodically to insure good electrical contact. Make sure the connector
plug is kept clean and protected from road elements as you travel.
T
OWING
Your RV braking system is rated for operation at GVWR not GCWR.
Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid or
debris in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing characteristics and may
result in property damage or personal injury.
You will find that your RV will travel safely and comfortably at most posted trailer
highway speed limits. However, it will take longer than a passenger automobile to
reach that speed. Keep this in mind when overtaking and passing another vehicle.
Allow more time to go around the vehicle you are passing.
