• Check and tighten wheel lugs after the first 10 miles, 25 miles, and 50 miles (15, 40 and

100 kilometers) when they are new and after a wheel has been removed. Check periodi-
cally thereafter.

• Check brakes in a safe area - not while traveling a busy highway.

• Always block trailer wheels solidly before unhitching.

• Before leaving a camp area with a trailer in tow, insure that the safety pin or locking lever

is seated, breakaway wire is attached to tow vehicle, the jack is raised so that it cannot
touch the ground, the dolly wheel removed, 120-volt electrical cord properly stored,
safety chains are connected, and all interior lights are off.

• Observe the warning labels attached to your vehicle concerning LP gas, water, electric-

ity and loading.

• Observe the maintenance chart in Chapter 7.

INSURANCE

As with your automobile, it is important that you protect yourself and others with
insurance coverages for personal liability, theft, collision, property damage, etc. Your
dealer will assist you in obtaining appropriate insurance for your protection or you may
check with the company which provides your automobile insurance.

EXTENDED USE

This folding camping trailer has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not
intended to be used as full-time living quarters.

CAUTION:

Continuous living in your folding camping trailer could cause acceler-

ated wear and damage to components.

COLD WEATHER USE

Folding camping trailers have no provisions for cold weather use.

• Use in freezing conditions is NOT recommended due to the inability to adequately

insulate the tent fabric.

• Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and draining systems to avoid freezing

problems. Consult your local dealer or RV supply house for additional material.

• Adequate gas and electrical supply is needed along with protection from possible freeze-

ups on the gas regulator.

• During cold weather usage, ventilation or the addition of a dehumidifier may be required

to reduce condensation. Reference “Condensation.”
