EMERGENCY TOWING
The preferred emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow truck operators willing to tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
Be prepared to give the tow truck operator at least
the following information when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating.
The vehicle must be towed from the front,
either on the rear wheels (if operational) or
on a heavy duty dolly. Consult your Chassis
Operator’s/Owner’s Guide/Manual for any
available instructions. Contact the chassis
assistance center prior to calling a tow
company to receive tow instructions and
possible assistance with coordinating the tow.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. The rear axle shafts or the drive line MUST
be removed before towing. See the Chassis
Operator’s/Owner’s Guide/Manual.
2. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle, if any .
3. Secure all heavy or loose items in the
interior .
4. Turn off Propane appliances and the
Propane tank valve.
5. Do not allow any person to ride in the
towed vehicle.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS & WASHERS
Your motor home is equipped with windshield
wipers. It is important to have the proper
windshield washer solution to maintain your
system in good operating order.
On The Road
CAUTION
The air brake system and air suspension system may
require recharging with air before towing to release
the brakes and provide proper ride height. An air inlet
fitting is located in the front road side compartment or
under the front hood. Tow truck operators should be
equipped to re-charge these air systems.
!
CAUTION
Use only a windshield washer solution that is rated for
a minimum of -20 degrees F (-8 degrees C) to prevent
damage to the system from freezing up.
CAUTION
Remove the axle shafts or disconnect the drive line
before towing the motor home.
!
WARNING
DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all
towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.

CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing
from the rear will cause serious overloading of the
front tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or
front suspension failure. The rear frame extensions
are not designed to withstand the load imposed by
lifting from the rear.
