SETTING UP YOUR TRAILER
Un-Hitching - Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer
1. Pull into the site, and park the trailer where you want it.
2. Block the wheels tightly so the trailer will not move.
3. Drop the landing gear (important!!!!) Refer to the manufacturer’s supplied
information for proper operation.

Leveling Your Trailer
Leveling your RV is critical for
several reasons. Your camping
experience will be more pleasant in
a level unit. It is important for your
RV to be level for proper operation
of items such as the refrigerator,
the slideout system and draining
tanks, if applicable.
Using blocks under the RV tires is a common way to level the unit. Blocks for this purpose
can be purchased from various RV resources or made out of wood. The proper size of
blocks are required to prevent causing damage to the tires. Make sure the blocks used cover
the entire footprint of the RV tire. Refer to Fig. 5 for proper tire blocking.
