On The Road
Frequently check tires. If a tire picks up a nail or
screw that creates a slow leak and causes some
air pressure loss, you might eventually spot it
visually if it is a front tire. If it is an outside
reardual, you might also spot it with a visual
inspection. However, if it is an inside rear dual,
the chances of spotting it without an air pressure
check are very slim. If you begin driving with-
out finding it, very quickly (in most cases a few
miles) your outside rear tire next to the low air
pressure tire is going to heat up from carrying
double its load, which, if left un-remedied will
eventually cause both tires to fail.
Tire Rotation
Your tires can be rotated for increased tire wear.
The front tires should only be rotated side-to-side
only and never “front to back.” The rear tires should
only be rotated side-to-side on the rear axle only and
never front to back. Seek professional help with tire
rotation at an authorized dealership.
Tire Replacement
Replacement tires must be the same size, type
and tread depth per axle, and have at least the
same weight carrying capacity as the original
equipment. Tires supplied by various manufac-
turers of the same size and rating may not have
the same weight carrying capacity and maxi-
mum cold inflation pressures. Consult your tire
dealer. The original equipment wheels and tires
supplied on your motor home have weight car-
rying capacities to support Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (GAWR) as stated on the Federal
Certification Tag attached on the interior wall
behind the driver’s seat.
Per Department of Transportation regulation all
tires are to be “stamped” with their weight rat-
ing, size, maximum inflation pressure and man-
ufacturing date. Use this information to assist in
tire replacement.
If You Get a Flat Tire
In case of sudden tire failure:
• Apply the accelerator to maintain direc-
tional stability, then gradually release the
accelerator.
• Use moderate brake pedal pressure.
Do not pump the brake. The vehicle is
equipped with Anti-lock Brakes (ABS)
which will help control braking.
• Firmly hold the steering wheel while
avoiding abrupt steering inputs and move
slowly to a safe place.
• Park on a firm level surface.
• Turn off the ignition.
• Set the parking brake.
• Turn on the hazard flasher system.
• Ensure your passengers are safely located
and children monitored.
• Get professional roadside assistance.
Changing a Flat Tire
Even with good tire maintenance and normal
driving, you may experience a flat tire. Obtain
professional roadside assistance through your
auto club, travel service, or a local truck service
facility. Your motor home is not equipped with a
jack or other lifting device. Do not attempt to lift
the motor home with a jack or the leveling jacks,
if installed. Consult the Chassis Operator’s/
Owner’s Guide/ Manual for additional informa-
tion on tire inflation and proper torque.
NOTE
The motor home will tend to “pull” toward the side with
the flat tire.
✓
Wheels and tires equipped with your motor home are
extremely heavy and may weigh 100 pounds or more.
Do not attempt to remove the spare tire (if equipped)
unless you are capable of handling the weight.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage if a
blowout or other tire damage occurs, obtain expert tire
service help. Do not attempt to change the tire yourself.
