7)
Install wheel chocks in front and back of tires to ensure trailer won’t be able to move after
disconnecting from pulling vehicle
8)
Lift up trailer tongs hitch latch up and pull it back (you do not have to hold it you can rest it on A-
frame once pulled back). If it does not move, try to put pulling vehicle into neutral and rock it
back and forth. This process takes two people.
9)
Continue lowering the tong jacks leg until trailer starts to lift of the pulling vehicles hitch ball and
stop lifting
10)
As soon as it is off, stop lifting and remove the towing safety chains from towing vehicle. It
should be safe to do so at this point. If trailer, after lifting off hitch ball keeps moving, secure the
trailer with more wheel chocks, re-position pulling vehicle and repeat the process. Under no
circumstances remove the trailers safety chains from pulling vehicle if rollaway of RV is possible.
11)
Place trailer hitch safety pin in trailers toolbox
12)
Pull towing vehicle out of the way (5-8 feet forward away from trailer)
13)
If needed install safety lock to trailer tong
14)
Put level on “Bear-Caves” floor, long ways, parallel with side of trailers (front to back) and level
trailer with tong jack. It is recommended to leave the front of trailer slightly higher than the
back.
15)
Lower all 4 corner jacks onto leveling blocks. Do not lift trailer with jacks (jacks and trailer will
get damaged if you do so). Lower them until snug and the turn crank one more turn. That’s
more than enough. Corner jacks are not for leveling, they are only for stabilization support.
16)
Install all sewer hoses. It is recommended to install to the front black and grey outlet of the
trailer and not the grey outlet in the back of trailer for kitchen grey water. Usually bathroom
grey and black water tanks fill more frequently than the kitchen grey water.
17)
Install water supply hose but DO NOT turn water on at this point (if at campground. If dry
camping, skip this step)
NEVER HOOK UP HOSE TO TRAILER WITHOUT PRESSURE REGULATOR, you will damage trailers
water pipes by doing so.
18)
Lower entrance stairs
19)
Extend slides in the following order or you might damage the trailer. A second person is
required while extending slides to watch outside of the trailer to ensure slides won’t hit
anything.
a)
Extend kitchen slide
b)
Ensure dining room to back (Bunk Bed room) bed room door is closed and latched
(otherwise you will rip door off handle of door while extending living room slide) and extend
living room slide. Stop extending when you here a loud banging noise or when slides stop to
move.
c)
Open door of bunk bedroom and extend slide (watch slide as you extend).
20)
Open all faucets and turn water supply to trailer on (the hose you hooked up in step 17, or if dry
camping turn on trailers water pump so water can be pumped from fresh water tank (if filled).
The water pump switch is located on the control (located to the top right as you enter RV)
panel). Wait until most air escaped pipes and shut all faucets but one. Leave one hot water
faucet open so water heater can fill up with water and air can escape.
