CHAPTER 7
MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
CHANGING THE TIRE
1. Block the tire on your folding camping trailer on the opposite side of the flat tire.
Unhook the trailer from the tow vehicle.
CAUTION: Failure to block the tire and unhook the folding camping trailer from the
tow vehicle could result in twisting the frame of the trailer.
2. Loosen lug bolts. You may wish to loosen lug bolts before raising camper.
3. Use a sturdy and dependable jack to raise your folding camping trailer, preferably a
hydraulic or scissor jack. Place a jack at the point designated the on main rail. A
small 4" to 6" square, ½" plywood spacer can be placed between jack and frame for
support.
WARNING:
DO NOT place jack under any part of axle beam. The camper
alignment can be altered causing excessive tire wear. DO NOT place jack
under outer “Z” frame rails. DO NOT use stabilizer jacks to raise camper.
They are designed to support, not raise or lower camper.
4. Remove lug bolts.
5. Change tire and wheel.
6. Reinstall lug bolts snugly.
7. Lower camper to ground.
8. Tighten lug bolts to 85-95# torque for 12"
tires and 50-75# for 13". Use a cross tight-
ening sequence as shown.
NOTE:
Jacks and lug wrenches are not supplied with camper. Bolt head size is 13/16"
WARNING:
Because the axles on an RV do not drive or steer as automobile
axles do, the motion of being trailered adds stress that can loosen lug nuts,
especially during the initial break-in period. Wheel lugs can work loose. Check
and tighten wheel lugs every 10, 25 and 50 miles when the unit is new or a tire
is changed, then every 3,000 miles.
