sible to parallel with the ground when attached to
the hitch ball.
Installation of a proper trailer brake system is
recommended. Check state regulations on trailer
weight and trailer brake requirements to be sure
you select the right equipment before towing.
NOTE: If you tow a car or trailer that weighs
over 1,000 lbs., it must be equipped with
automatically activated brakes.
Before descending a steep or long grade when
towing a trailer, reduce speed and shift into a
lower gear to control vehicle speed. Avoid pro-
longed or frequent application of brakes which
could cause overheating and brake failure.
TRAILER WIRING CONNECTOR
Your coach is pre-wired for trailer or car tow-
ing lights with a 6-pin socket on the rear bumper.
The connector plug is supplied in the coach parts
package provided to you by your dealer when
you took delivery of the vehicle.
The diagram shows proper connection of
trailer or tow vehicle wiring to the coach light
system. We recommend connections be made by
a qualified auto electrical technician to avoid
‘shorts’ or other malfunctions.
For safety towing and vehicle han-
dling, maintain proper trailer weight
distribution.
The total weight of the motor home
and the vehicle towed must not
exceed the Gross Combined Vehicle
Weight rating. Contact the chassis
manufacturer to obtain the Gross
Combined Vehicle Weight rating for
your chassis.
Exceeding any of the recommended
gross vehicle weight ratings may re-
sult in vehicle damage.
Do not install a frame equalizing type
hitch on your vehicle.
