Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Changing A Tire
If you experience a flat tire on your motor home while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motor home to a safe place on the side of the
road. Contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualified service facility for
assistance.
Do not attempt to change the tire or jack the motor home up yourself;
this is
why a jack and a spare tire have not been included with the motor home.
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the Chassis Guide
information regarding changing the tires. Make sure the wheel lug nuts have been tightened
to the proper torque as outlined in your Chassis Guide.
The motor home is very heavy. Raising the motor home to replace
the spare tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualified
technician. The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.
Do not use the hydraulic leveling jack system to support the motor
home while under the vehicle or changing tires. The hydraulic leveling
system is designed as a leveling system only. Do not use the hydraulic
leveling jack system as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. It is highly
recommended that, should a tire change be required, it be performed by
a knowledgeable, trained professional. Attempts to change tires while
supporting the motor home with the hydraulic leveling jack system could
result in damage to the motor home and risk causing serious injury or
death.
When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size
and specifications (refer to your Chassis Guide for assistance.)

Awnings (if so equipped)
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the motor home is
in transit.

The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can cause
severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle.
Retract the
awning if:
If wind or extended periods of rain are expected
If you leave the RV unattended for a length of time, to avoid unexpected
climate conditions.
