A weight distributing hitch system provides a
more stable tow vehicle/RV combination. This
system will spread the weight evenly to
distribute it to the tow vehicle front and rear
axles and the trailer axle. Consult with your
dealer to familiarize yourself with the
operation and requirements of the weight
distributing hitch system. Be certain your tow
vehicle can carry the hitch weight.

Check the area under the RV after
overnight parking and look for water or
other fluid leaks. If leaks are detected, find
the cause and have it repaired
immediately.
Have someone observe the operation of
all exterior lights while you activate the
controls.
Check wheel lug nuts for tightness and
tires for proper air inflation pressure.
Examine the tires for excessive tread
