• Entrance steps must be in the retracted position.
• Refrigerator door must be closed and locked. If your trailer is equipped with a residential
refrigerator, make sure the doors are taped shut, the travel strap is secured to prevent the
refrigerator from tipping, and there is packing placed on each side of the refrigerator to
prevent shifting from side to side.
• If the trailer is equipped with a washer and dryer, a board needs to be placed between the
units and the cupboard frame to hold them in place.
• Make sure the patio door is blocked.
• All loose items must be secured.
• Brakes must be tested for operation prior to entering roadway.
• Tire pressure must be checked and maintained per the tire pressure stamped on the tire
sidewall.
The Safety Chain
There are different safety chain requirements determined by the various state laws. Your trailer is
equipped with chains to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross trailer weight. Always
have the safety chains attached when towing. Install them as shown below so they do not restrict
sharp turns, but tight enough so they do not drag on the ground. (Fig. 8-1)
Additional Safety Considerations
• Ensure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Proper inflation should be
monitored closely. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating of a tire, which could result
in a blowout.
• Checkand tighten wheel lugs after the 25 miles (40 Kilometers) when new and after a wheel
has been removed. Refer to manufacturer's owner's manual. Checkperiodically thereafter.
• Checkbrakes in a safe area - not while traveling a busy highway.
• Always blocktrailer wheels solidly before unhitching.
• Before leaving a camp area with a trailer in tow, insure that the safety pin or locking lever is
seated, breakaway wire is attached to tow vehicle, the jack is raised so that it cannot touch the
ground, the dolly wheel removed, 120-volt electrical cord properly stored, safety chains are
connected, and all interior lights are off.
Transporting Your ParkTrailer
105
1. Inspect chains to determine if they are
properly attached to trailer frame.
2. Criss-cross left chain and attach to right
mounting slot in tow vehicle hitch.
3. Repeat step 2 with right chain. Slack
for each length should be the same but
not more than necessary to permit the
vehicle to turn at their minimum radius.
4. Properly mounted safety chains.
Note that the jack is fully raised
and dolly wheel removed.
