Towing the RV, Continued
Parking
Once the RV is in your desired location:
1. Set the tow vehicle parking brake.
2. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
3. Go outside and block the RV wheels securely
with wheel chocks.
• The wheel chocks can be wood blocks or purchased
items as long as they prevent the RV from rolling.
Welded Rear Hitch
(If So Equipped)
• Maximum load capacity is 300 lbs (136 kg).
•
DO NOT exceed the Hitch Weight Ratings
for your Welded Rear Hitch.
•
Failure to do so may void the warranty.
Unhitching from the Tow Vehicle
1. Choose a place to park, and pull the RV into the site.
2. Block the wheels to keep the RV from rolling.
3. LOWER the landing legs to stabilize the RV.
• For proper operation, it is important to follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Disconnect the wire harness/connector plug.
5. Disconnect the breakaway switch lanyard.
6. OPEN the truck tailgate.
• Unless your truck is equipped with a tailgate
designed to accommodate a FW hitch.
7. Shift your truck into reverse, but
DO NOT press on the accelerator.
• This moves the kingpin off the locking bar,
so that it can be disengaged.
8. Apply the brakes, then set your parking brake.
9. Disengage the locking bar, then Unhitch the RV.
10. Pull away your tow vehicle.
11. Level the RV front to back by adjusting the

DO NOT USE THE
FW LANDING LEGS
TO SUPPORT THE
TOW VEHICLE WEIGHT.
The FW landing legs are
designed to bear the front
loaded weight of the RV
only.
WARNING
The FW landing legs must
be fully retracted before
moving or towing the RV
to prevent damage.
NOTICE
If the parking spot
is on asphalt on a
very hot day or on
dirt and/or gravel,
a block of wood under each
jack leg can be used to
spread the load and reduce
the possibility of the leg
sinking into the surface.
Maximum load capacity
300 lbs. (136 kg)
including the weight
of the cargo carrying
container or equipment.
Use for towing or exceeding
load limit will void the
warranty. Failure to follow
the instructions can cause
the carrier to collapse or
items to fall which could
cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
