Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO)
detector/alarm. It is usually located in the main sleeping area.
If the indicator sounds, it is an indication that carbon monox-
ide gas is present. This may occur while idling in high traffic
concentrations or in campgrounds where other vehicles as well
as your motor home are contributing to the carbon monoxide
level in the surrounding air. Sounding of the alarm does not
indicate a faulty alarm. The detector is doing its job of warn-
ing you of potentially high concentrations of carbon monox-
ide. See the section on Carbon Monoxide in this manual.
Test the CO detector/alarm after the motor home has been in
storage, before each trip, and at least once a week during
use. Please refer to the operating instructions included in
your Owner's Information Package.
The only safe and approved towing methods are either an
under reach wheel lift device, as installed on a minimum
3-ton tow truck chassis, or a flat bed trailer. Most tow truck
operators willing and able to tow motor homes will be famil-
iar with these devices. Be prepared to give the tow truck
operator at least the following information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
When towing with an under reach lift device, the vehicle must
be towed from the front, either on the rear wheels (if opera-
tional) or on a heavy duty dolly. Consult your Chassis
Operafor's/Owner's Guide/Manual. Contact the chassis assis-
tance center prior to calling a tow company to receive tow
instructions and possible assistance with coordinating the tow.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the disabled vehicle.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off LP gas appliances and the LP gas tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the towed vehicle.

CAUTION
Do not tow the motor
home
from
the
rear.
Towing from the rear will
cause serious overload-
ing of the front tires and
suspension,
possibly
resulting in tire or front
suspension failure. The
rear frame extensions are
not designed to withstand
the load imposed by
lift-
ing from the rear.
