MERGENCY TOPPING
Always carry road flares or reflective warning signs to display if necessary. Pull off
the roadway as far as possible for emergency stopping or tire changing. Turn ON
your RV hazard warning flashers. If traveling at night, use three red warning
indicators such as flares, reflectors or lanterns, as follows:
1. Place the first warning indictor on the traffic side of the RV, directed at the
nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100 feet behind the RV in the center of
the lane and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet in front of the RV in the center of the
lane and away from the traffic approaching from behind.
The hazard-warning flasher provides additional safety if the RV is stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible hazard to other motorists. When the
flasher is on, it serves as a warning to others to approach and overtake your
vehicle with caution.
For personal safety, always stand off the road and out of the way of traffic.
Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of warning indicators

MERGENCY OWING
