Roadside Emergency
A roadside emergency can happen at any time. ALWAYS carry
an emergency kit with three red warning signs (
or indicators
)
to display if necessary.
If you must make an emergency roadside stop:
• Pull off the road as far as possible.
• Turn ON the hazard warning flashers (or hazard lights )
to alert other drivers.
• The hazard warning flashers warn passing drivers to
approach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
Use the three red warning indicators (signs, reflectors, lanterns,
or road flares) as follows:
1. Place the
1st
indicator
10 feet
behind the RV
on the off-door ( or road ) side.
2. Place the 2nd indicator 100 feet behind the RV
in the center of the lane.
3. Place the 3rd indicator 100 feet in front of the RV
in the center of the lane.
• 10 feet = 4 paces , 100 feet = 40 paces
• Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement
of the warning indicators.
For your personal safety, ALWAYS stand off the road
and away from traffic.
Emergency Towing
If you require towing, please contact an emergency road
service provider or a qualified service facility for assistance.
