CARE & MAINTENANCE
TIRES
Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-
facturer.
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly ac-
curate equipment prior to delivery to the dealer-
ship. However, we recommend that alignment be
checked and adjusted, if necessary, after you
have fully loaded the motor home according to
your personal needs. Thereafter, the alignment
should be periodically inspected to help prevent
uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may in-
dicate worn or misaligned suspension or steering,
unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s suspen-
sion and steering components periodically for
misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to annoying vibrations and uneven tread
wear such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may
need to be balanced if uneven wear is detected or
if ride comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis operating guide for further
information.
Rear Air Springs
Optional - 29’ & 31’ models
Check and adjust the air bag pressure periodi-
cally to maintain optimal ride and handling char-
acteristics according to cargo weight.
Min. press.: 20 p.s.i.

Loading the Vehicle
NOTE: Your motor home’s load capacity is des-
ignated by weight, not by volume, so you
cannot necessarily use all available
space when loading your motor home.
See page 4-1 for more information.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
AND WIPERS
See your chassis operating guide for recom-
mendations and precautions regarding washers
and wipers.
Make sure all replacement tires are of
the same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
