2. Block the wheels securely to prevent the RV from moving.

3. Drop the landing gear (important!) Refer to the operator’s manual for proper

operation.

4. Disconnect the wire harness/connector plug and breakaway switch lanyard.

5. Drop the truck tailgate (unless you have a tailgate specially designed to

9. Drive

away.

10. Adjust the fifth-wheel height for proper front to back leveling of the RV.
