If the motorhome needs to be towed:
• Secure any loose or protruding parts if the motorhome is damaged.
• Inspect the points of attachment on the disabled motorhome. If attachment points are
damaged, select other attachment points at a substantial frame structural member.
• Never allow anyone to go under a motorhome while it is being lifted by towing
equipment unless the disabled motorhome is adequately supported by safety stands.
• Do not tow the motorhome from the rear. Towing from the rear will severely overload
the front tires and suspension possibly resulting in tire and/or front suspension failure.
Rear frame extensions are not designed to support weight loads imposed by lifting
the motorhome from the rear.
• If the rear wheels are disabled, place the motorhome on a flat bed trailer or use a
heavy duty dolly under the rear wheels and tow the motorhome from the front.
• The drive shaft must be removed to prevent damage to the transmission. Secure the
end caps to prevent losing or contaminating the needle bearings.
• The mud flap may need to be removed to prevent damage due to limited ground
clearance.
• Review the chassis owner’s manual for proper towing guidelines.
• Use an approved tow truck normally used for towing large vehicles.
• Tow with the parking brake released and the transmission in neutral.
• Make sure the front wheels are lifted at least four inches off the ground, and that the
rear of the motorhome has adequate clearance.
If an emergency ever requires you to be stopped, be sure to follow these guidelines:
1. Pull off the road as far as possible.
2. Select the Neutral position on the shift selector and apply the Parking Brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
4. Use three red warning indicators such as flares, reflectors, or lanterns as required by
the Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic Ordinance as follows:
a. Place the first indicator on the traffic side of the vehicle, directed at the nearest
approaching traffic.
b. Place the second 100 feet behind the RV in the center of the lane and toward
approaching traffic.
c. Place the third 100 feet in front of the RV in the center of the lane and away
from the traffic approaching from behind.
5. Always stand off the road.
NOTE: Curves and/or hills may effect the safe placement of warning indicators.
