Inspection:
Ensure all exterior items are stowed or
secured (i.e. TV antenna, ceiling vents
and windows).
Check belts, hoses, battery and engine
fluid levels. Inspect the engine,
transmission and generator per the OEM
manuals.
Evenly distribute and secure cargo.
Store heavy items near the rear axle and
lighter items toward the front to prevent
uneven stress and handling problems.
Check all tires outside the motorhome
for accurate pressure and physical
condition. Look around, above and
under the motorhome for obstruction
or leaks. Test all exterior lighting:
headlamps, taillights, brake and
clearance lights.
Inside the motorhome, store and secure
heavier objects in the lower cabinets
to maintain a low center of gravity for
sway reduction.
Secure loose items to prevent weight
shifts.
Store lighter items in the overhead
cabinets.
Close and secure all cabinet doors and
drawers, shower and pocket doors.
Turn off interior lighting.
Adjust exterior mirrors and check dash
gauges for proper operation.
INFORMATION
For chassis maintenance details refer
to the chassis section.
CAUTION
Open the bay doors slowly. Cargo may
shift during travel.

WARNING
To avoid injury, never
place hands or fingers
near the edges of the
bay door when opening
or closing. Always use
the latch handle. Apply
pressure with the other
hand just above the latch
handle.
TIPS
Multi-purpose items, versatile clothing
and periodic removal of unused cargo
will streamline cargo storage.
HITcH
Using the Rear Receiver
When using the rear hitch receiver,
remember that the motorhome is
intended for towing light loads and is
primarily designed as a recreational vehicle.
Safety and durability of the hitch receiver
requires proper use. Avoid towing excessive
loads or other misuse of the receiver. Towing
will affect fuel economy.
Weight pushing down on the rear receiver
(tongue weight) must not exceed 10% of
maximum tow capacity. The motorhome
must be weighed fully loaded ready for travel
including passengers, cargo, water and propane
to ensure it is under the GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating). The motorhome fully loaded
for travel including any towed vehicle or
trailer must not exceed the GCWR (Gross
Combination Weight Rating). See “Weighing
the Motorhome” in this section for further
instructions.
WARNING
Most states and Canadian provinces
require trailers and/or towed vehicles
to have adequate auxiliary brakes.
Failure to comply with these State
and Canadian province requirements
may result in fines and/or pose a
safety hazard, which may result in an
accident.
WARNING
DO NOT tow a trailer or vehicle that
exceeds the rated capacity of the
hitch receiver. Overloading the hitch
receiver can cause unusual handling
characteristics and overstress the hitch
receiver and chassis. It could also
void the warranty. If there are any
questions, call customer support.
