probably also been weakened due to the
additional stress placed on them.
The proper method of tightening wheel lug
nuts is with a torque wrench, not with an
impact wrench or by hand. Because of the
importance of having proper torque on the
wheel lug nuts, you should always have the
wheels mounted and properly torqued by a
qualified technician using the proper,
calibrated tools.
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25
and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque
as defined in the chart listed in the OEM
operator’s manual.
Wheel Liners or hub covers

Your motorhome are equipped with wheel
liners or hub covers (varies by model). Please
refer the OEM operator’s manual located in

questions consult your RV dealer, the OEM or

LIGNMENT
The term alignment refers to both the
adjustment angles on the steering axle and
suspension and tracking of the rear axle. Many
factors are considered when establishing
proper alignment. Steering components,
suspension, wheel bearings and even proper
loading will affect your motorhome alignment.
We recommend you have the front suspension
and steering alignment checked and adjusted
after you have fully loaded the vehicle
according to your needs as part of the vehicle
maintenance. Thereafter, it is your
responsibility to have the alignment inspected
periodically to maintain vehicle steering
performance and prevent uneven tire wear as
part of your normal maintenance. Always have
the alignment checked and adjusted by a
qualified shop with the proper equipment to
handle heavy vehicles.
A road test by the dealer should be included as
part of the pre-delivery inspection. The dealer
can then check for and correct any steering
problems before you take delivery of the
motorhome. After this road test has been
completed, front-end alignment and/or
vibrations will not be covered by warranty.
