hitch manufacturer instructions to adjust the
weight-distributing hitch to the proper height.
If you have additional questions, consult with
your dealer. Jayco cannot be responsible for
the suspension system of any tow vehicle.
There are a variety of tow vehicle suspension
systems available that will affect the ball
height, stability and levelness of a hooked up
RV. Make certain your Dealer is aware of the
tow vehicle you are using so a compatible
hookup is achieved. Depending on the model,
your required travel trailer hitch ball diameter
is either 2" or 2-5/16" (consult your dealer for
assistance).

A sway control device (customer supplied)
should be used with your tow vehicle/travel
trailer combination. Consult with your
Dealer to obtain the proper equipment for
your needs.
Sway control devices are available to reduce
the sway produced by
displacement caused
passing you in transit, incorrect weight
distribution, excessive speed, the RV tires
dropping onto the shoulder of the road, etc.
You will also want to discuss this purchase
with your Dealer.
The use of a sway control device will help to
control the side-to-side movement and keep
sway in check.
Suggestions for sway situations:
Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator.
Turn the steering wheel as little as
possible. Natural lag time reaction when
counter-steering to correct sway could
possibly make it worse.
If the trailer is equipped with electric
brakes, using the hand control will help to
keep the vehicles aligned.
As soon as possible, stop to determine
the cause of the sway. Check all
equipment and load distribution. If the

A weight distributing hitch system provides a
more stable tow vehicle/RV combination. This
system will spread the weight evenly to
distribute it to the tow vehicle front and rear
axles and the trailer axle. Consult with your
dealer to familiarize
operation and requirements of the weight
distributing hitch system. Be certain your tow
vehicle can carry the hitch weight.

Failure to maintain the brakes in proper
working condition as specified in the
operator's manual supplied by the axle
OEM will cause property damage, personal
injury and possibly death. Consult with your
dealer for assistance.
The electric brakes are designed to work with
the tow vehicle brakes. To maintain proper
braking performance, both the RV and tow
vehicle brakes must be used together.
Separate use of the braking systems will
cause accelerated wear and damage.
When your RV is new, it is impossible to
adjust the brake shoes precisely. It takes
approximately 1,000
medium to heavy stops to "burnish" fit or
"seat" the shoes to the brake drum. After
the initial break-in period your brake shoes
must be adjusted accurately for best
performance and increased durability.
Braking system components include:
Tow vehicle battery
Brake controller
Wire harness/connector plug
Trailer battery
Breakaway switch
