Towing & Leveling
• With the site on the passenger side, you would be
backing into the site on your blind side, which is more
difficult.
• When you determine the site conditions are satisfac-
tory, maneuver the RV into position for backing up into
the site space.
• Back the RV up slowly using your tow vehicle mirrors
as a guide.
• Have another person outside the RV assist you until
the RV is parked in the desired position.
Parking
After the RV is in the desired location, set the tow vehicle park-
ing brake and place the transmission in park. Turn OFF the
ignition switch. Go outside the RV and block all wheels securely
with wheel chocks. The wheel chocks can be wood blocks or
purchased items as long as they prevent the RV from rolling.
LEVELING THE RV
Now that you have parked your RV, you need to ensure it is
level. Leveling is very important. A level RV is more comfortable
for sleeping and walking inside. The refrigerator is designed to
operate when level for best performance due to the absorption
system. The water drainage systems are designed with proper
slope and must be level for proper operation. The appliances
perform best when level.
Before operating the leveling system make sure:
1. The RV is parked on a reasonably level surface.
2. The towing vehicle is disengaged from the RV.
3. Make sure all persons, pets and property are clear of
the RV while leveling checking is in progress.
4. Use a small level in the refrigerator, on a counter top or
floor of the trailer to make sure it is level.
TRAVEL TRAILER SET UP
1. Position the RV as desired.
2. Block the wheels securely to prevent the RV from mov-
ing.
3. Level the RV (side-to-side).
