Driving Characteristics
1. Controls
Your motorhome driver controls are automotive
type. Steering and braking controls are power
assisted to help make driving as comfortable
as possible. Your motorhome is much higher,
wider, and heavier than a family automobile so
the operator must anticipate and account for
the differences.
2. General Handling
The motorhome power-to-weight ratio is
lower than that of the average automobile;
therefore, it is essential to compensate for
slower acceleration when moving into traffic
or when passing another vehicle. Allow extra
room to corner and to change lanes. When
going underneath a bridge or similar overhang,
you must be aware of your maximum height.
(Measurement must include the air conditioner
plus 6 in. (152 mm). Height may vary
depending on chassis, make, suspension, and
air conditioner.)

3. High Wind Handling
High winds or strong wind gusts may lead to
unpredictable handling and motorhome control.
When encountering high winds or strong wind
gusts, proceed as follows:
● Slow down significantly so you can maintain
control of your motorhome.
● Find a safe place to pull of the road and
take shelter.
● Park your motorhome facing directly into
the wind to minimize high wind buffeting.
