Extreme Heat and Hot Weather Conditions:
• Observe all gauges frequently. Any variations from the normal
conditions should be evaluated promptly.
• Check tire pressure frequently when traveling in hot conditions.
Tire air pressure increases with heat. It is not advisable to let air
out of a hot tire. When the tires cool down they will return to the
correct/previous tire pressure.
• Pay extra attention to hoses and belts which are more susceptible to
fatigue in extreme heat.
Winter and Cold Climate Conditions:
• The motorhome should be prepared for Cold Weather Use.
• Keep speeds slow and steady. Make moves gradually and increase
visual distance for a gain in reaction time.
• If the road or weather conditions are treacherous find a safe
stopping place and wait for conditions to improve.
• Avoid using engine retarding device on wet or slippery surfaces,
they can cause the drive wheels to skid.
• Wipers should be in good condition and the washer reservoir
should have sufficient window wash fluid that has antifreeze
included within it.
• Use the mirror heat to keep the mirrors clear.
• Remove any ice build-up from the entry step to avoid accidental
slipping.
Wet Conditions:
• The risk of hydroplaning is increased if tires are worn or improperly
inflated.
• Be aware that heavy rain or deep standing water can affect brake
application causing them to apply unevenly or grab.
Refueling:
• Truck stops are good refueling points for motorhomes.
• Know which side the fuel port is on. There may not be adequate
space to turn around in the parking lot to reposition for the pump.
• Check overhead clearance heights before pulling through the fuel
island.
• Be aware of the concrete/steel posts installed around the fuel
island.
• Avoid running over the fuel hose as it can get hung up on the
motorhome, causing body damage.
WARNING: Avoid the risk of fire or explosion. Turn off all
pilot lights and appliances before refueling.
