Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Towing Behind Your RV
If you do not have a Jayco factory installed hitch receiver , towing items
behind your Jayco RV, or overloading the rear, will void the warranty and may
result in: damage to the RV or add-on items, towing difficulties, property dam -
age and/or personal injury.
NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A JAYCO FACTORY IN-
STALLED HITCH RECEIVER, DO NOT TOW ANYTHING
BEHIND YOUR RV. THE RV FRAME AND BUMPER ARE
NOT DESIGNED FOR TOWING.
NOTE: A hitch equipped for trailer towing will have tabs to hang the safety
chains and there will be a bracket for the trailer wiring plug. There should
also be a label on the hitch stating maximum towing capacity.
Disc Brakes (if so equipped)
If your RV is equipped with disc brakes, see the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for detailed
safety and maintenance information.
NOTE: A battery (customer supplied) must be installed to activate the
breakaway switch. When the trailer is attached to the tow vehicle, this bat -
tery will typically be charged by the tow vehicle.
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).
Lubricate 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.
