GENERAL DRIVING TIPS
Remember that your motor home is heavier than acar, making it less
maneuverable and harder to stop; Also, because of its greater side surface area,
. it is more easily affected by cross winds andlor overtaking traffic. Allow extra
distances for passing and stopping, and drive at a moderate speed, particularly
in traffic and in gusty wind conditions.
Be aware of the extra height of your motor home. Check for low hanging
tree branches or other obstructions whenever you drive or park. Avoid low
overhangs when pulling in for service. Always check overhead clearances of
overpasses and bridges. Before leaving on a trip, check your route. Some
tunnels prohibit motor homes with LP gas systems.
When parking parallel to a curb, be sure to allow fOl' poles or obstructions
as the front and tear portions of the motor home swing wider than an
automobile. When parkirigonan incline, turn the front wheels into the curb in
the direction of the roll to aid the parking brake. When parking set the parking
brake.
WARNING
. Do not park or idle the motor home over combustible
materials such as tali grass or dried leaves.
Combustible materials may catch fire from the hot
exhaust gases, soot or sparks that could escape
through corrosion holes or cracks. This is particularly
important ifthe exhaust system has not been properly
maintained.
