Section 4: Vehicle Operation
If you experience a flat tire on your recreational vehicle while driving, gradually decrease
your speed and move the recreational vehicle to a safe place on the side of the road.
1. Keep the recreational vehicle attached to the tow vehicle. Block the tire on the opposite
side of the recreational vehicle from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are changing before jacking up the vehicle. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen them for ease of removal when the tire is off
the ground.
3. Locate the mainframe rail of the trailer (it spans from front-to-back just inside the tires).
4. To raise the recreational vehicle, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main
frame rail. It must be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
Tire Replacement
Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire manufacturer or the
store representing the brand installed on your recreation vehicle. They are not to be returned
to your dealer or recreation vehicle manufacturer.
If you have questions regarding your tires, contact the tire manufacturer.
Spare Tire Carrier (if so equipped)
If your recreational vehicle is equipped with a spare tire, it will either be mounted under the
unit (hoist) or on the rear bumper.
Hoist Mount
Depending on your model, the spare tire may have (side or bottom) brackets or it will be
mounted against the underside of the recreation vehicle (flush mount) to give it stability in
travel.
DO NOT exceed the maximum load capacities of 100 lbs. for the hoist. DO
NOT use air driven guns or impact wrenches to lift the spare tire to the travel
position.
