    Your purchase of a Jayco RV allows you to enter this unique world of camping and leisure in a grand style. Your Jayco RV has been designed and engineered to offer you many comforts of home that will make your camping experience as enjoyable as possible.
  • Page 11: Safety Considerations

    If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Jayco, Inc. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
  • Page 12: Electrical System Safety

    It is very important to have the LP gas turned off during refueling of tow vehicles. Some states prohibit traveling with LP container(s) open, especially in underground tunnels. Never allow gas containers to be filled above the liquid capacity indicated on the container.

    • Using an oversized or undersized hitch can cause damage to the frame of your travel trailer. • Jayco, Inc. cannot be responsible for the suspension system of the tow vehicle. The final ball height after the travel trailer is completely hooked up is a factor to be considered when towing a travel trailer.
  • Page 19 2-5/16" The Hitching Procedure – Conventional Travel Trailer Hooking up a conventional travel trailer is not difficult and will become easier with practice. The following procedure will help you until you become more experienced. 1. Turn crank on jack to raise tongue of travel trailer above hitch ball on hitch.
  • Page 20: The Safety Chain - Conventional Travel Trailers

    • Entrance steps should be in the retracted position. • Refrigerator door should be closed and locked. • All loose items should be secured. • Brakes should be tested for operation prior to entering roadway. • Tire pressure should be checked and maintained per the tire pressure stamped on the tire sidewall.
  • Page 21: Hitches - Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer

    9. When unhitching, make sure you do not forget to lower the tailgate. Towing While towing your Jayco travel trailer, you need to be aware of the extra weight behind your vehicle. The following list contains some pointers to remember while traveling.
  • Page 22: Traveling

    The sum of this rating is the weakest link of the tires, wheels, springs, axles, or brakes. The weight provided in the Jayco literature for your travel trailer is based on standard equipment on that particular model and is “dry” (i.e. no liquids or cargo). Remember that any options or personal cargo added must be subtracted from the available cvargo capacity.

  • Page 42: Residential Stools (Resort Model Only)

    Residential Stools (Resort Model Only) Prior to transit, remove tank lid and place in safe location. Flush toilet to empty tank. Using Toilet and Tank System When camping you should always have four to six inches of water in the toilet bowl. The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flushing to ensure wastes will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
  • Page 43 the tank (see directions for draining below) and close the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open when hooked up to the park’s sewer system. To empty tank: 1. Place travel trailer as level as possible to make drainage easier. 2.
  • Page 44: Lp Fuel System

    LP FUEL SYSTEM It is because of the LP gas system that your RV has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove, water-heater, and furnace. This system has containers that contain the fuel and also regulators to control the pressure of the fuel and supplies the gas vapor to the various appliances.
  • Page 45 to 80%, the maximum level for safety, a liquid will appear replacing the vapor. Stop filling immediately and close both valves; HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. WARNING: A propane container should never be filled beyond 80% of its capacity.
