panel will not retract the jacks, the jacks can be
retracted using the auxiliary valves at the
hydraulic pump connection (refer to the OEM
operator’s manual).
Storage
When storing the motorhome, it is
recommended the jacks be stored with the
retracted position while the motorhome is
being stored (the OEM requires the jacks be
cycled periodically). If the jacks must be stored
in the extended position, it is recommended
the system be fully retracted once per month.
For more information
Refer to the OEM operator’s manual. If you
have further questions contact your RV dealer,

Your motorhome is equipped with a rear vision
monitor that gives a televised view of what is
behind the motorhome. The rear vision
camera will aid you in backing up the
motorhome, and can be used for a greater field
of vision when driving in heavy traffic. Check
the outside rearview mirrors when driving and
backing up the motorhome for a more
complete field of vision. The camera is
equipped with a wide-angle lens that can
initially present an image that may be
deceiving.
Practice backing up in a safe place, using the
rear vision monitor to become accustomed to
its use. If in doubt, ask another person outside
the vehicle to assist you. The monitor is
operational whenever the motorhome engine
is running. To use the monitor, flip the switch
from stand-by to ON (the monitor will also work
when with the motorhome is in “reverse” and
the monitor in standby). Make sure you turn
the monitor to stand-by while driving to avoid
being distracted.
Never operate the rear vision monitor in the
ON position for extended periods of time as
this may result in an “image burn” on the
monitor.

Read the OEM operator’s manual. If you have
further questions contact your RV dealer, the
OEM or Jayco Customer Service

LEARANCE
Remember some bridges, older ones in
particular, may not support the weight of your
motorhome towing combination. Know the
weight and size of your towing combination
and observe any posted weight and clearance
limits. The added height of roof air
conditioners, TV antennas, etc., may cause
clearance problems around some tunnels,
canopies and hanging signs.

Even though your motorhome is equipped with
brakes designed for its Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) we suggest you practice
stopping away from traffic until you become
accustomed to your motorhome’s stopping
distance. Your motorhome is equipped with a
third brake light that activates when the brakes
are engaged.
When descending a long hill, drop down into a
lower gear. The transmission and engine will
help in controlling down hill speed and can
lengthen brake life. The distance required to
stop the motorhome is greater than an
automobile’s. Use care when accelerating or
