SECTION 4 – VEHICLE OPERATION
The rear vision camera aids in the use of, but does not replace vehicle
side/rear-view mirrors.
Objects in the camera view are closer than they appear. When backing up,
proceed cautiously and be prepared to stop.
B & S
RAKING TOPPING
Your motor home braking system is rated for operation at GVWR not
GCWR.
Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid or
debris in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing characteristics and may
result in property damage or personal injury.
When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear (or lower range if you
have automatic transmission). Avoid conditions that require excessive and
prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short intervals to give
them a chance to cool. The vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling
downhill speed and can lengthen brake life. The distance required to stop the
motor home is greater than an automobile's. Use care when accelerating or
decelerating on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and
loss of control.
Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance
or cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check the motor homes brake operation in
a safe area to be sure they have not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if
a difference in braking efficiency is noticeable.
P B
ARKING RAKE
The parking brake should be engaged when the motor home is parked. Never
drive your motor home with the parking brake set as this will reduce the parking
brake effectiveness and cause excessive wear. For more information refer to your
Chassis Guide.

RONT XLE IRE
The term alignment refers to both the adjustment angles on the steering axle and
suspension and tracking of the rear axle. Many factors are considered when
establishing proper alignment. Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings
and even proper loading will affect the alignment.
