Section 4: Vehicle Operation

Towing Behind Your RV 

DO NOT tow anything behind your RV. The RV frame and bumper are not designed for 

towing. 

Towing items behind your travel trailer or fifth wheel, or overloading the rear, 

will void the warranty and may result in: damage to the RV or add-on items, 

towing difficulties, property damage and/or personal injury.

Entrance Door Step(s)

Make sure your entrance step is fully extended before exiting the vehicle, and retracted 

prior to towing.
Lubricating the step mechanism

Carefully clean the area around the pivot points (the 

rivets involved in the motion of the mechanism).  Lu-

bricate these pivot points with an automotive grade, 

non-staining lubricant every 30 to 60 days.

Wipe  any  excess  lubricant  off  of  the  step  and  then 

clean the entire step after lubricating.

Step Light

Your RV may be equipped with a switch located on 

the skirt (in front of the steps) which operates a light located under the step assembly.

Entrance Door

Always hold onto the entrance door when opening or closing it.  Damage caused because 

you failed to do so is not covered by the 

Limited Warranty.

The entrance screen door may be equipped with a slide panel that allows access to the en-

trance door handle and locks. The entrance door may also be equipped with both a regular 

door lock and a dead bolt lock.

Keys

Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle.  Most keys have an individual 

key number stamped on the plate.  Record these key numbers and keep the information in a 

safe place.  You can order a key blank from your dealer to have duplicate keys made.  If you 

lose the keys, contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance.

Make sure the entrance door is completely closed and locked when traveling. 

Locking the door helps prevent it from opening unintentionally and keeps in-

truders from your recreation vehicle.
