Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
38
Travel Trailer Weight Distributing System (customer supplied)
This system provides a more stable tow vehicle/RV combination as it will spreads the weight
evenly to distribute it to the tow vehicle front and rear axles and the trailer axle. Consult with
your dealer for information on requirements and operation of this system. Be certain your
tow vehicle can carry the hitch weight.
Travel Trailer Sway Control (customer supplied)
Sway control devices are available to reduce the sway produced by crosswinds, air displace-
ment caused by other vehicles passing you in transit, incorrect weight distribution, excessive
speed, the RV tires dropping onto the shoulder of the road, etc. The use of sway control will
help to control the side-to-side movement and keep sway in check. Consult your dealer for
additional information.
Suggestions for sway situations:
Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator.
Turn the steering wheel as little as possible. Natural lag time reaction when coun-
ter-steering to correct sway could possibly make it worse.
If the trailer is equipped with electric brakes, using the hand control will help to
keep the vehicles aligned.
As soon as possible, stop to determine the cause of the sway. Check all equipment
and load distribution. If the problem cannot be solved immediately, contact your
dealer for a service appointment. Reduce your speed until the issue is resolved.
Travel Trailer Safety Chains
Your RV 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.
Crisscross the left safety chain under the coupler and attach to the right mounting slot in the
trailer hitch; repeat with the right safety chain. Slack for each length should be the same but
not more than necessary to permit the vehicle to turn at its minimum radius, but tight enough
not to drag on the ground.
A sway control device (customer supplied) should be used with your tow
vehicle/travel trailer combination. Consult with your Dealer to obtain
the proper equipment for your needs.
