RAVELING
To get the full enjoyment of traveling in your new Trek, careful preparation is necessary.
Good planning and preparation will lead to less potential trouble while traveling and when
you reach your destination.
This chapter gives some general guidelines for traveling in your coach. It includes
checklists to help you avoid forgetting those important details, tips for getting the most
from your equipment and other helpful ideas. The information is very general. For more
specific descriptions of your coach and its systems please read the appropriate sections
elsewhere in this manual and the manufacturer's manuals.

RIP REPARATION

Your First Trip

The front end of your coach was aligned prior to your house portion being built. Once the
house is added to the frame, the geometry of the suspension changes.
NOTE: Before your first trip we recommend that you load the coach complete
with fuel, holding tank fluids and your stored belongings. Then have the
coach realigned. This will maximize the potential handling characteristics
of the coach.
Ideally, your first trip should be a weekend trip, close to your dealer. This will allow you
to return for answers to any questions and for minor repairs or adjustments that may be
needed.

Leaving Home

Before you leave your home for a trip in your coach, make sure that your home is prepared
for your absence. You will want to be confident that your belongings will be cared for and
that your house is protected against dangers such as burglary and fire.
