If an emergency situation should occur, use the appropriate braking tech-
nique and pull off the roadway a safe distance from traffic (if possible) then
set the parking brake. Turn ON the hazard warning flashers especially when
parked alongside traffic lanes. In the event of an emergency stop due to a
mechanical breakdown or other motorhome related problems contact Monaco
Coach Corporation Customer Support (1-877-466-6226) or your emergency
services provider.
An emergency road kit should include at least: Three reflective warning
signs, road flares, flashlight, spare automotive fuses, an assortment of hand
tools. For added safety a separate fire extinguisher should be considered. The
motorhome is equipped with a fire extinguisher located inside next to the co-
pilot seat. Road flares or reflective warning signs can be displayed if the
motorhome is alongside of the road for any length of time.
Guidelines for placing the warning triangles depend upon the road charac-
teristics and visibility. For example: The standard placement is 10 feet, 100
feet and 200 feet from the rear of the motorhome when on a divided highway
or one-way road. On a two-way road with traffic traveling both directions the
same placement would also be required at the front of the motorhome. Roads
with curves and hills may require the placement of the last/furthest triangle to
be 500 feet behind the motorhome in order to safely warn approaching traffic.
