NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A JAYCO FACTORY INSTALLED HITCH
RECEIVER, DO NOT TOW ANYTHING BEHIND YOUR RV. THE RV FRAME
AND BUMPER ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR TOWING.
Additional Towing - Multiple Trailer Combinations (If so Equipped)
If your RV (applies to limited fifth wheel models only) is equipped with a factory installed
hitch receiver, you have the ability to tow an additional boat or other watercraft trailer
behind your RV. The following guidelines will help ensure safe and proper towing.
Consult your independent dealer for further assistance.
Check the state or province where your tow vehicle and RV are registered as well as any
state or province where travel is planned in the U.S. and/ or Canada for brake requirements
and regulations.
Be sure the trailer being towed by your RV is properly equipped with brakes. Contact
your tow vehicle dealer or manufacturer for assistance in determining whether a separate
braking system is recommended and what limits there are for towing multiple trailer
combinations.
The hitch receiver may be used as a weight carrying hitch to tow a boat or other watercraft
trailer. Do not use a bar longer than 10-inches (254 mm).
The maximum length of the draw bar is from the center of the fastening pin to the center of
the ball. The maximum trailer tow rating of the fifth wheel hitch is 3,000 Lbs. (1361 kg.)
with a maximum tongue weight of 300 Lbs. (136 kg.).
The receiver may be also used for attaching a cargo basket/ carrier for other items. Ensure
the cargo carrier is properly attached to the hitch receiver and all cargo is properly secured
in place. The cargo weight carrying capacity includes the weight of the cargo carrier. The
maximum total weight when used to carry cargo is 300 Lbs. (136 kg.)
WARNING
If you do not have a
Jayco factory installed hitch receiver
, towing items behind
your Jayco RV, or overloading the rear, will void the warranty and may result in:
damage to the RV or add-on items, towing difficulties, property damage and/or
personal injury.
WARNING
The hitch receiver installed on your RV is a weight carrying hitch only. Do not use
weight distribution bars or equipment when towing. Using weight distribution bars or
equipment with the hitch receiver will void the warranty and may cause damage that
could lead to adverse trailer combination towing and handling, loss of control or an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Failure to adhere to the specified weight capacities or overloading the rear of the RV,
will void the warranty and may result in: damage to the trailer or add-on items, towing
difficulties, property damage and/or personal injury.
