Before lowering the tongue jack, you may wish to place a wood block or
hard support under the foot of the jack, unless you are on cement slab.
This helps prevent the jack from sinking into the dirt.
1. Release the weight distributing bars (if used).
2. Undo the safety pin or lock, then release the safety latch on
the coupler.
3. Raise the coupler on the A-frame by turning the tongue jack
until the ball is free.
4. Disconnect the 7-way wire connector, safety chains, and
the breakaway cable.
5. Move the tow vehicle away as desired.
6. Lower the tongue jack until the coach is level. Adjust the
height as needed.
7. Lower the stabilizer jacks, two or four as equipped.
The use of stabilizer jacks on a recreational vehicle is a popular and
useful item. They provide a reasonable amount of stability while using,
occupying, and moving around in your camper. It is important to
remember that stabilizer jacks are for support of the coach and are not
designed to bear the weight of a recreational vehicle.
To operate the stabilizer jack, place crank onto the jack shaft and turn
clockwise to lower until the frame begins to raise slightly. Equalize all
four jacks for best support. You may need to adjust each jack two or
three times.
To raise jack to upper travel position, turn counterclockwise until jack is
seated in UP travel position.
Upon completing the setup of your coach you are now ready to make
attachments to various facilities.
-
Waste water hose connections.
-
110-Volt power cord electrical hookup.

Turn on propane tanks a nd light pilot lights, if
any, on appliances. Remember there may be air in your
propane lines. Be sure to bleed them before planned
usage.
-
Open any windows and roof vents as desired for
ventilation.
You may have additional accessories and options, such as an awning on
the door side which needs to be opened. Separate instructions are
provided by the manufacturer of these components.
When preparing to depart or move, don’t forget to reverse the
procedures above. Remember, open roof vents, windows, or
are subject to wind damage in transit.
