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 abnormal handling.
Check all tires for accurate inflation
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 chassis section 10.
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
excessive towing loads or other misuse of the
receiver. Towing will affect fuel economy.
Weight pushing down on the rear hitch
(tongue weight) must not exceed 10% of
maximum tow capacity. It is recommended
to weigh the motorhome when fully loaded
to ensure proper weight distribution of the
GCVW (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight).
When weighing the motorhome, add all
passenger weight to the GCVW total. The
motorhome fully loaded, including fresh
water, propane and any vehicle or trailer
towed, must not exceed the GCWR (Gross
Combination Weight Rating).
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.
