weight evenly to distribute it to the tow vehicle
front and rear axles and the trailer axle.
Consult with your dealer to familiarize yourself
with the operation and requirements of the
weight distributing hitch system. Be certain
your tow vehicle can carry the hitch weight.

The electric brakes are designed to work with
the tow vehicle brakes. To maintain proper
braking performance, both the park trailer and
tow vehicle brakes must be used together.
Separate use of the braking systems will
cause accelerated wear and damage.
When your park trailer is new, it is
impossible to adjust the brake shoes
precisely. It takes approximately 1,000
miles and/or 50 medium to heavy stops to
“burnish” fit or “seat” the shoes to the
brake drum. After the initial break-in
period your brake shoes must be adjusted
accurately for best performance and
increased durability.
Braking system components include:
Tow vehicle battery
Brake controller
Wire harness/connector plug
Trailer battery
Breakaway switch
Tow vehicle battery
The tow vehicle battery is the primary source
of power for your park trailer’s electric brake
operation. To ensure available power when
needed, keep your tow vehicle battery and
charging system working properly.
Brake controller (customer supplied)
The brake controller should be installed in the
tow vehicle to work in conjunction with the
park trailer electric brakes. Consult with your
dealer or the brake controller OEM to decide
what is right for your towing combination.

Decide on the various items of food, clothing,
equipment and other supplies you will need
for the length and destination of your trip.
Store and secure all loose items inside the
park trailer before traveling. Overlooked items
such as canned goods, or small appliances
on the countertop, cooking pans on the range
or free-standing furniture items can become
dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on
each tire does not exceed one-half of the
GAWR for either axle. For traveling safety, it
is important to make sure any tie down straps
(if so equipped) on appliances or furniture are
secured.
Failure to maintain the brakes in proper
working condition as specified in the
operator’s manual supplied by the axle
OEM will cause property damage,
personal injury and possibly death. Consult
with your dealer for assistance.
Never load the park trailer in excess of the
GAWR for either axle. Overloading your
park trailer may result in adverse handling
characteristics and damage to the chassis.
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR!
This
means you should weigh your park trailer
as loaded for your normal travel to
determine the actual weight. If you exceed
the GVWR, you
MUST
remove items from
the park trailer, or drain liquids, then re-
weigh the vehicle to ensure you have
achieved a safe weight. Do not travel with
full grey/black holding tanks. This not only
wastes gas but, depending upon the
location of the grey or black holding tanks,
can affect handling characteristics.
