Setting Up Your Recreation Vehicle
Position the RV as desired.
Level the RV (side-to-side). Leveling your recreation vehicle is important as the water
drainage systems are designed with proper slope and must be level for proper operation,
and the appliances perform best when level.
Block the wheels securely to prevent the RV from moving.
Travel Trailer Set Up
1. Unhook the wire harness/connector plug, safety chains and breakaway switch lanyard.
2. Install the dolly wheel or platform.
3. Release the weight distributing bars (customer supplied).
4. Open the tongue jack coupler latch.
5. Turn the tongue jack crank to raise the coupler above the hitch ball.
6. Level the RV (front-to-back) with the tongue jack crank.
7. lower stabilizer jacks (If applicable).
8. Pull the tow vehicle away, as desired.
Fifth Wheel Set Up
9. Drop the landing gear (important!) See the operator’s manual for proper operation.
10. Disconnect the wire harness/connector plug and breakaway switch lanyard.
11. Drop the truck tailgate (if applicable).
12.
Gently put your truck into reverse (don’t give it any fuel/acceleration). This effectively
moves the kingpin off the locking bar that will allow you to disengage it.
13. Step on brake and apply parking brake.
14. Disengage the locking bar and unhitch.
15. Drive away.
16.
Adjust the fifth-wheel height for proper front to back leveling of the RV.
Awnings (if so equipped)
Awning Care
Keep your awnings clean and in good condition to prevent costly repairs.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
Keep the awning fabric clean. For detailed cleaning information, refer to the
manufacturer’s owner information.
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV is in transit.

The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and can cause
severe damage to the awning and/or the recreation vehicle.
Retract the
awning if:
If wind or extended periods of rain are expected
If you leave the RV unattended for a length of time, to avoid unexpected
climate conditions.
