EMERGENCY TOWING
The preferred emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow truck operators willing to tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
Be prepared to give the tow truck operator at least
the following information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either
on the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy
duty dolly. Consult your Chassis Operator’s/
Owner’s Guide/Manual for any available
instructions. Contact the chassis assistance cen-
ter prior to calling a tow company to receive
tow instructions and possible assistance with
coordinating the tow.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle, if any .
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the
interior.
3. Turn off Propane appliances and the
Propane tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the
towed vehicle.

Windshield Wipers & Washers
Your motor home is equipped with windshield
wipers. It is important to have the proper wind-
shield washer solution to maintain your system
in good operating order.
WARNING
DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your
body under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand
clear of all towing equipment and the vehicle
being lifted.
!
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing
from the rear will cause serious overloading of the
front tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or
front suspension failure. The rear frame extensions
are not designed to withstand the load imposed by
lifting from the rear.

damage to the system from freezing up.
