IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY
25
EGRESS WINDOW
An egress window is designated for use as
an exit in the case of an emergency. Inside
the motor home the egress window is easily
identified by the red locking handles. There
are two common styles of latches, determine
the style of locking handle you have and refer
to the following illustrations for operation. It is
also marked as an “
EXIT ”. The glass slider in
the egress window operates the same as all
other windows;
TEST : The egress window should be opened
twice a year to ensure proper operation. Over
time, the rubber seal will tend to stick to the
egress window. Occasional operation will help
prevent the rubber seal from sticking.
TRAILER TOWING
A separate functioning brake system is required for any towed vehicles or trailers
weighing more than 1000 lbs when fully loaded. NEVER exceed the GVWR, or
the GAWR specified on the motor home certification label. Also NEVER exceed
the weight ratings of the trailer hitch installed on the motor home. Failure to
heed any part of this warning could result in loss of control of the motor home
and towed vehicle or trailer and may cause an accident and serious injury.
For specific towed vehicle braking requirements, consult the chassis owners
manual.
The motor home fully loaded and the trailer, or towed vehicle, must not exceed
the motor home chassis’ Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR). Consult
with your selling dealer to determine the GCWR of the motor home. Do not
exceed the motor home Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) or the hitch
rating. The tongue weight, the weight pushing down on the hitch, must not
exceed 10% of the hitch capacity.
Always use safety chains between the motor home and the towed trailer or vehicle. Cross chains under the
trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners. Connect safety chains to the trailer or vehicle frame or
hook retainers. Never attach chains to the bumper of a vehicle.
Tow bars or car dollies generally are made to travel in a forward direction only. Most towing equipment of
this type is not designed for backing. Never attempt short back up distances with a tow bar or tow dolly.
Damage to the motor home, towed vehicle or towing device will result.
Note : Four Winds International accepts no responsibility for damage to the chassis and other
components resulting from towing loads greater than its designated class specifications.
Also consider the gross combined weight rating of the motor home before towing a trailer
or vehicle. Towing an object such as a boat and trailer or a vehicle behind the motor home
results in added driving considerations that you must contend with.
