SECTION 6
PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
53
To
help ensure your traveling enjoyment, call
ahead for tourist information in each area that
you will be visiting or traveling through. To help
eliminate frustration, make sure you obtain the
most current road maps. Research and make
sure there are no federal, state or local
regulations that may prohibit you from fully
enjoying your camping adventure.
•
Arrange for someone to check your house
periodically while you are away. Stop mail
or newspaper delivery.
•
If you intend to be away for more then two
weeks, you may want to consider
requesting police surveillance for your
house.
•
Carry an extra set of vehicle and house
keys with you on a separate key ring.
•
Be sure to renew your license if it has
expired, or will expire during your trip.
If you are planning to visit other countries,
contact the consulate nearest the point at which
you plan to enter that country for the specific
and most current information (including rules for
re-entering the United States).
Always carry your vehicle registration,
insurance policy card(s) and RV warranty
registration.

If you plan to tow your RV with a tow vehicle
you already own, contact your automotive
dealer to find out your vehicle towing capacity.
If you plan to purchase a new tow vehicle, be
certain to tell your automotive dealer the
GVWR, size and type of RV that you will be
towing (some tow vehicles can be purchased
with an optional tow package). As a minimum
requirement, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of your RV must not exceed your tow
vehicle’s towing rating.
Some automotive manufacturers publish
brochures that discuss towing considerations.
Ask your automotive dealer how to obtain a
copy of this information. If applicable, verify if
the brochure ratings are listed “with” or “without”
an optional tow package.

The 17-digit VIN is the legal identification of
the completed RV and provides information
unique to your camper. It is stamped on the
exterior fifth wheel pin box.

A serial number is needed whenever
making an appointment or ordering
replacement parts from your dealer. The
serial number is the last 8-digits of the VIN

ABELS
Decals and data plates used throughout the
RV aid in its safe and efficient operation;
others give service instructions. Read all
decals, data and instruction plates before
operating your RV. If any decal, data or
instruction plate is painted over, damaged
or removed, it should be replaced.
Keep a record of the 17-digit vehicle
identification number (VIN) and your license
number in the event theft or vandalism
requires you to supply this information to the
authorities.
