Towing Behind Your RV
NOTE:
A hitch equipped for trailer towing will have tabs to hang the safety
chains and there will be a bracket for the trailer wiring plug. There should
also be a label on the hitch stating maximum towing capacity.
NOTE:
A battery (customer supplied) must be installed to activate the
breakaway switch. When the trailer is attached to the tow vehicle, this bat
-
tery will typically be charged by the tow vehicle.
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 dam
-
age and/or personal injury.
NOTE:
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A JAYCO FACTORY IN-
STALLED HITCH RECEIVER, DO NOT TOW ANYTHING
BEHIND YOUR RV. THE RV FRAME AND BUMPER ARE
NOT DESIGNED FOR TOWING.
Factory Installed Hitch Reciever (if so equipped)
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 be-
hind your RV.
If you do not have a
Jayco factory installed hitch receiver, towing items
behind your Jayco RV, overloading the rear, or failure to adhere to the
specified weight capacities
will void the warranty and may result in:
damage to the RV or add-on items, towing difficulties, property dam-
age and/or personal injury.
The hitch receiver installed on your RV is a weight carrying hitch only.
Do not use weight distribution bars or equipment when towing. Us-
ing 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 acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
