PLANNING AND PREPARATION
Each year millions of Americans embark on trips
using some type of recreational vehicle. Proper plan-
ning of your trip will ensure a pleasurable experience.
A thorough knowledge of your RV is important if you
are going to get the most out of the convenience and
safety items built into your vehicle. Be as familiar with
it as you are with your personal car or truck. The
booklets included in your Owner's Information
Package cover details of operation for the major ap-
pliances and equipment built into your motor home
for your comfort, convenience and safety. Later sec-
tions in this manual will also explain how to operate,
maintain, and service important components and
systems in your motor home.
LOADING AND WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Proper loading is one of the most important con-
siderations when traveling in an RV. Your motor home
is built to safely carry a certain maximum load. For
safety's sake, NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTOR
2
HOME. This manual contains a detailed section that
explains proper loading and weighing of the vehicle.
HA VE IT ALL UNDER CONTROL
Remember, your new motor home is a large vehicle
and requires different driving skills than a passenger
car. Later in this manual we'll outline some tips on
how to become familiar with the handling character-
istics and driving techniques that you need to know
to be a safe motor home driver. Of course, don't
overlook the laws of your state or province that govern
driving a motor home. Your state or provincial Motor
I
Vehicle- Department can provide you with the appli-
cable vehicle codes that spell out your rights and
responsibilities as a motor home owner.
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN
Follow a consistent schedule of inspection and
maintenance for your motor home. Your continuing
safety and comfort depend on it. This manual includes
a section outlining maintenance intervals. Adherence
to these schedules will minimize the possibility of
failure of any important system or part of your motor
home. The time spent inspecting and maintaining your
motor home will provide you with many years of
recreational pleasure.
