TOWING
While towing your Jayco sport utility trailer, you need to be aware of the extra weight
behind your vehicle. The following list contains some pointers to remember while
traveling, but is not a substitute for consulting with your independent, authorized dealer
and hitch professionals.
1. With the sport utility trailer attached, you will have slower acceleration and require
greater distance to stop.
2. Make sure you have enough area at corners when turning. Wider turns are necessary.
Use your turn signals for your own safety.
3. When passing or changing lanes, take into consideration the overall length of your
sport utility trailer and allow ample distance and time. DO NOT SPEED AND BE
PREPARED FOR DISPLACED AIR WHEN PASSING OR BEING PASSED BY
LARGE TRUCKS.
4. Use your rearview mirrors frequently to observe your trailer and traffic conditions.
5. When being passed by a large truck or bus, be prepared for displaced air as it may
cause the trailer to sway slightly. Steer straight and use your trailer brakes, if
necessary, to slow slightly or control sway on the trailer.
6. Upon climbing steep, long grades and again descending, use lower gears even before
it seems necessary. Use your brakes smoothly and evenly.
7. Decrease your speed for safety! Most states require vehicles pulling trailers to
maintain slower speeds, usually the same as truck traffic.
8. Drive slowly during wet and icy conditions to ensure better control of your vehicle.
9. Check all exterior lights before each trip.
10. Obey traffic laws, allow extra time for stopping and decrease speed when visibility is
limited or roads are wet.
11. Have a safe and wonderful trip!
If towing a trailer is new for you, please take time to practice towing, parking and backing
skills prior to traveling. Your independent, authorized dealer can answer many of your
questions, but nothing replaces practice. We recommend that you find a large and quiet
parking lot to practice your skills.
Towing Behind Your Trailer
DO NOT tow anything behind your RV. The RV frame and bumper are NOT designed for
towing.
