The Safety Chain
There are different safety chain requirements determined by the various state laws. Your
vehicle is equipped with chains to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross
trailer weight. Always have the safety chains attached when towing. Install them as
shown below so they do not restrict sharp turns, but tight enough so they do not drag on
the ground.

Towing
While towing your Jayco folding camping trailer you need to be aware of the extra weight
behind your vehicle. The following lists some pointers to remember while traveling.
• With the trailer attached you will have slower acceleration and need more distance to
stop.
• Ensure you have enough area at corners when turning, as wider turns are necessary.
Utilize your turn signals for your own safety.
• In passing or changing lanes, remember that you need a longer distance to pass.
• Use your rearview mirrors frequently to observe your trailer and traffic conditions.
•
When being passed by a large truck or bus, be prepared for displaced air as it may cause
you to sway slightly.
