Towing
While towing your Jayco folding camping trailer you need to be aware of the extra weight
behind your vehicle. The following lists some pointers to remember while traveling.
• When pulling a camping trailer, you will have slower acceleration and need more distance
to stop.
• Ensure you have enough area at corners when turning, as wider turns are necessary. Utilize
your turn signals for your own safety.
• When passing or changing lanes, take into consideration the overall length of your RV
and allow ample distance and time.
• Use your rearview mirrors frequently to observe your camping trailer and traffic con-
ditions.
•
When being passed by a large truck or bus, be prepared for displaced air as it may cause
you to sway slightly.
• Upon climbing steep, long grades and again descending, use lower gears even before it
seems necessary. Use your brakes smoothly and evenly.
• Decrease your speed for safety! Most states require cars pulling trailers to maintain
slower speeds, usually the same as truck traffic.
• Drive slowly during wet and icy conditions to ensure better control of your vehicle.
• Check all exterior lights before each trip.
• Obey traffic laws, allow extra time for stopping and decrease speed when visibility is
limited or roads are wet.
• Have a safe and wonderful trip.
If towing a trailer is new for you. Please take time to practice towing, parking and backing
skills prior to traveling. Your dealer can answer many of your question, but nothing
replaces practice. We recommend you find a large and quiet parking lot to practice your
skills.
