Adjust the equalizing bars of the hitch assembly so that the tow vehicle and the trailer are
essentially level. A high hitch will transfer weight behind the axles and cause the vehicle to
fishtail. A low hitch will transfer additional weight to the hitch. Refer to the hitch
manufacturer instructions to adjust the weight-distributing hitch to the proper height.
If you have additional questions, consult with your dealer. Make certain your Dealer is
aware of the tow vehicle you are using so a compatible hookup is achieved. Depending on
the model, your required travel trailer hitch ball diameter is either 2” or 2-5/16” (consult
your dealer for assistance).

Safety chain requirements vary from state to state. Your RV 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.

ross the left safety chain under the coupler and attach to the right mounting slot in the
trailer hitch; repeat with the right safety chain. Slack for each length should be the same
but not more than necessary to permit the vehicle to turn at its minimum radius.

A weight distributing hitch system provides a more stable tow vehicle/RV combination.
This system will spread the weight evenly to distribute it to the tow vehicle front and rear
axles and the trailer axle. Consult with your dealer to familiarize yourself with the
operation and requirements of the weight distributing hitch system. Be certain your tow
vehicle can carry the hitch weight.
