SECTION 7
TOWING & HANDLING
61
Driving
safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we
recommend you pay special attention to the
following:
•
The use of daytime running lights can
increase other motorists' awareness of the
RV to all traffic.
•
Keep the tires inflated to the specified
levels. Replace the tires before they are
excessively worn or as recommended.
•
Before changing lanes, check the outside
rearview mirrors for other vehicles and
activate the appropriate turn signal to alert
other drivers.
•
While driving, watch the behavior of other
drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. Always
follow all traffic laws and regulations. Pay
attention to traffic and road conditions. Be a
courteous and alert driver. Always leave
room for unexpected events, such as
sudden braking.
•
Do not drive when you are sleepy or tired.
Do not drive when alcohol, drugs or
medication has affected your judgment,
reflexes or alertness.
•
Obey all traffic laws and use your seatbelts
at all times. Many states have lower speed
limit requirements for tow vehicle/RV
combinations. We recommend that you do
not exceed the posted speed limit when
towing an RV.
•
Driving with the propane system on can add
to the danger if you are involved in an
accident or have a fire. Most refrigerators
will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours
without running while you travel. Shut the
propane system off at the propane cylinder.
•
Adverse weather conditions and extremes
in terrain may affect the performance and
handling of your tow vehicle. Do not operate
the tow vehicle cruise control on icy or
extremely wet roads, winding roads, in
heavy traffic or in any other traffic situation
where a constant speed cannot be
maintained.

EMINARS
If you have any concerns about driving
while towing a RV, consult an expert for
specific RV driver education. There are
private RV schools and some RV owner's
organizations that offer driving seminars.
The schedules and locations of the various
RV driver education seminars and schools
can be researched through RV-related
publications or by contacting your dealer for
assistance.
You must observe the law if you are
driving when operating a cell phone in your
tow vehicle. If it is permitted to operate a
cell phone while the tow vehicle is in
motion, you must only operate it when
road and traffic conditions permit. You may
otherwise be distracted from the traffic
conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
DO NOT
leave children or pets
unsupervised in the vehicle (even if
children are secured by a child restraint
system) or RV. They could:
•
Injure themselves on parts of the
vehicle or RV.
•
Unlock and open the entry door, or
open the emergency exit window, and
then possibly injure other persons or
damage property.
•
Get out of the vehicle or RV, and either
injure themselves when doing so or
they could be injured by passing
vehicles.
•
Be seriously or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold.
