SECTION 7
TOWING & HANDLING
D
riving 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.

RIVING

CHOOLS
&

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.
