TOPPING
Always carry road flares or reflective warning
signs to display if necessary. Pull off the
roadway as far as possible for emergency
stopping or tire changing. Turn ON your RV
hazard warning flashers. If traveling at night,
use three red warning indicators such as
flares, reflectors or lanterns, as follows:
1. Place the first warning indicator on the
traffic side of the RV, directed at the
nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100
feet behind the RV in the center of the lane
and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet
in front of the RV in the center of the lane
and away from the traffic approaching from
behind.
The hazard-warning flasher provides
additional safety if the RV is stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible
hazard to other motorists. When the flasher is
on, it serves as a warning to others to
approach and overtake your vehicle with
caution.
For personal safety, always stand off the
road and out of the way of traffic. Curves
and/or hills may affect the safe placement
of warning indicators

SECTION 4
TOWING & HANDLING
Here are some tips to keep in mind when
parking in unfamiliar surroundings:
Have a pre-determined plan of action…
Develop response plans for all situations.
Dry-run typical situations as a way of
making your responses to each simulation
second nature. A cellular phone is a good
investment to protect yourself, especially
when traveling alone.
Be alert to all situations… Assess your
surroundings to help anticipate possible
problems
and responses. If someone
unfamiliar knocks on the door, do not open it
until you are certain the request is legitimate
and represents no possible harm to you or
your RV.
Trust your intuition… This is a natural tool
at your disposal. If something does not
seem to be right, you may want to evacuate
the vicinity immediately or call 911.
Remember, nothing is 100 percent
effective… Do not rely on your dog or an
alarm system, etc. Always remain wary.
Developing these habits may help prevent
loss to you or your property as you travel
and enjoy your RV.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to go under the RV
while it is being lifted and/or being
towed.
