IMPORTANT
Your RV has been aligned at the factory as part of the production process. To
provide optimum tire longevity and offer the best handling characteristics,
Newmar recommends you have your unit re-aligned
after loading your
belongings as you would travel. Though highly recommended, this alignment is
not mandatory, and as such is not warrantable by Newmar or the chassis
manufacturer.
Campsite Parking
If the campground does not have drive-through sites, it is recommended to stop
near the site and inspect it for slopes or uneven areas. Carefully back into the
campsite. Watch for low-hanging limbs, posts, large rocks, or other obstacles.
Back the unit in so the site is on the driver’s left, if possible. This will enable
the driver to watch the rear of the unit. Back up slowly using the side mirrors
as a guide or with the assistance of another person outside guiding the parking
procedure.
Place the vehicle in park and turn off the ignition. If parked on a steep incline,
pre-level the coach by driving the appropriate wheels onto blocks. Finish the
leveling process by using the leveling jack system to level and stabilize the
unit. Connect the 120 volt shore power to the unit. Open the LP gas valves at
the LP tanks. Connect the fresh water supply and sanitize the water systems,
if necessary. Connect the waste drain hose to the sewer hook-up. Start the
refrigerator, water heater, and furnace, if needed. Light the oven pilot light,
if applicable. Remember that the refrigerator will not operate efficiently if the
unit is not level.
CAUTION
Do not lift the wheels of the unit off the ground at any time during this process.
The unit can roll forward or backward when the weight of the unit is on the jacks.
Car Towing Hitch
The motorhome is equipped with a class three, 5,000 pound hitch and wire
connector. Two extra 14 gauge wires are also included for your use. Your unit
is designed for use as a recreational vehicle and is intended for towing light
