OWNER'S MANUAL
• Check that your path is free of obstacles. (ie., low-hanging tree limbs, posts, large rocks)
• Try to choose a site that is on the driver’s side, so that you can easily see the rear of the RV.
• A site on the passenger side is more difficult, since you back into the site on your blind side.
• Position your tow vehicle and RV for backing into the site.
• Back up the RV slowly. Watch your tow vehicle mirrors and Back Up Camera (customer supplied) carefully to
help you guide the RV into the site.
• Have another person outside the RV to assist you until the RV is parked in the desired position.
Parking
After the RV is in the desired location, set the tow vehicle parking brake and place the transmission in park. Turn OFF
the ignition switch. Go outside and block the RV wheels securely with wheel chocks. The wheel chocks can be wood
blocks or purchased items as long as they prevent the RV from rolling.
