Taillight Confi guration:
Taillights come in different confi gurations
referred to as a 2-wire or 3-wire confi guration.
A 2-wire confi guration has all red lenses. A
3-wire confi guration usually has red and amber
lenses. Amber is used for turn signals only and
red for taillight and brake light. These systems
are electrically different. Whenever hooking
a 2-wire system to a 3-wire system, or vice
versa, a converter box must be installed for
correct taillight function. A taillight converter
is available from auto and RV supply stores.
DO NOT attempt to wire a tow plug connector
if unfamiliar with these systems. A trained
technician will install the proper converter so
the taillights and turn signals work correctly
on the motorhome and towed vehicle or trailer
when the tow plug connection is made.
Tow Plug Connection:
The motorhome is pre-wired from the factory
with an electrical connection for towing. The
connection is located on the rear cap, near the
hitch receiver. Convoluted tubing protects the
tow harness wires. Current draw should not
exceed 7.5 Amps for each designated light
circuit. Within the electrical connection is a
positive terminal for use when towing a trailer
equipped with a battery. The positive terminal
maintains the charge of the trailer battery.
When preparing a tow plug connection, strip
the wires 3/8". Twist the wire strands and place
under the clip and secure the screw. Make sure
there are no loose strands of wire that could short
against the case or other terminals. DO NOT
accidentally mirror image the trailer connection.

CAUTION:
Positive terminal connection of the tow
plug remains live at all times. When
towing a trailer equipped with a battery,
unplug the electrical tow connection
when parked. Failure to unplug the tow
connection may result in discharged
chassis batteries.
To Tow Car or Trailer:
1. Connect a tow car or trailer to the
motorhome with safety chains rated for
the weight being towed.
2. Make the electrical connection and
perform a light check before starting a
trip and at each rest stop.
3. Check the tires frequently. Flat tires
on a towed vehicle cannot be detected
from the motorhome while driving.
A fl at tire is a safety hazard and will
cause extensive damage.

REAR VIEW SYSTEM

The motorhome is equipped with a rear vision
system. This system includes up to three cameras
and a dash mounted monitor. The cameras are
located at the rear and sides (optional) of the
motorhome. The select button on the monitor is
used to alternate camera views.
When the rear view system is on, the camera
view will automatically change to the rear view
when the transmission is placed in reverse. The
camera view will also change when a turn signal
is activated to display the corresponding camera
view. This system may be used while driving in
forward, reverse or when parked.
