EMINARS
If you have any concerns about driving an
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 internet
sites.
Use caution when using the internet as a
resource tool. Verify the information is from a
credited and reliable source in the RV
industry, and it pertains to your RV. If in
doubt, contact your dealer or Jayco Customer
Service.

RIVING
&
A
LCOHOL
The presence of alcohol in significant levels in
the blood increases the probability that the
driver will be involved in an accident. Exercise
your good judgment and encourage others to
do the same. Know the legal alcohol limits
and do not exceed them. Be aware of your
personal limits, which may be lower than the
legal limits. Should you ever exceed your
limits or find your driving is impaired, find
alternative transportation.
NEVER DRINK
AND THEN DRIVE.
K
EYS
Several keys are provided when you
purchase your RV. Most keys have an
individual key number stamped on the plate.
Record these key numbers and keep the
information in safe place. To have duplicate
keys made, or replace lost keys, order a key
blank from your dealer.
Make sure the keys are not inside the RV
before you close and lock the entry door.

OOR
We have included an assist grab handle at
the RV entrance door. The interior portion of
the entrance screen door is equipped with a
plastic slide panel that allows access to the
entrance door handle and locks. The entrance
door has both a regular door lock and a dead
bolt lock.
Always hold onto the entry door when
opening or closing it; damage caused by the
entry door catch and holder because you
failed to do so is not covered by the
Motorhome Limited Warranty

TEP
The electric door step opens automatically
when the screen door is opened. Constant
12-volt power to the electric step is supplied
through a circuit breaker (generally located
inside the battery box near the auxiliary start
solenoid.)
Driving after drinking or taking drugs
(including some prescriptions and/or over-
the-counter medications) can lead to an
accident. Studies have shown perceptions
are less sharp, reflexes are slower,
drowsiness may be experienced and/or
judgment may be impaired.
Make sure the entrance door is completely
closed and locked when traveling. It is
dangerous to drive with the door not shut.
Locking the door helps prevent it from
opening unintentionally and keeps
intruders from your RV.
When opening the door from the outside,
make sure you are not obstructing the path
of the entrance step. Keep hands and
fingers clear while extending or retracting
the entry door step.
BE SAFE, LOOK BEFORE ENTERING
OR EXITING YOUR MOTORHOME!
