RV Driving Schools & Seminars
If you have any concerns about driving while towing a RV, consult
an expert for specific RV driver education. There are private RV
schools and some RV owner’s organizations that offer driving
seminars. The schedules and locations of the various RV driver
education seminars and schools can be researched through
RV-related publications and websites.
Please use caution when using websites as a resource tool.
Verify the information is from a credited and reliable source in
the RV industry, and pertains to your specific RV. If you have
any doubt, contact your dealer for assistance.
RV Braking System
To maintain proper braking performance,
both the RV and
tow vehicle brakes
must
be used together
.
The RV brakes are
designed to work with your tow vehicle brakes. Separate use of the
braking systems
will cause accelerated wear and damage.
For best performance and increased durability, AFTER the
initial break-in period, your brake shoes
must
be adjusted
accurately
. When your RV is new, it is impossible to adjust the brake
shoes precisely. It takes approximately 1,000 miles and/or 50 medium
to heavy stops to
burnish
fit
or
seat
the shoes to the brake drum.
Braking system components include:
• Tow vehicle battery
• Brake controller
• Wire harness/connector plug
• Auxiliary batteries (see Electrical System)
• Breakaway switch
Brake Controller
(customer supplied)
The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work
in conjunction with the RV electric brakes. Consult with your dealer
or the brake controller OEM to decide what is right for your towing
combination.
