PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
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.

Now that your park trailer is loaded you
should have it weighed. The actual weight of
the park trailer, passengers, all options,
liquids, the hitch weight of your towed vehicle
and your personal cargo is important for you
to know so you do not exceed the GVWR.
There are two important factors when loading
your park trailer, total weight and balance. It is
imperative that you verify compliance within
all applicable weight ratings. Overloading your
park trailer will void the
Jay Flight Bungalow
Park Trailer Limited Warranty
and the
warranties of many component part
manufacturers.
Have your park trailer weighed periodically
at a public scale to determine the proper
load distribution.
Keep in mind that
individual scales will operate differently. The
surroundings of the scale need to be
adequate to accommodate weighing each
side of your park trailer.
To weigh your tow vehicle and park trailer
Store items in areas designated for
storage. Do not store anything in the areas
reserved for the converter, electrical panels
or the furnace or water heater, etc.
Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR
for either axle. Overloading your RV 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.
Total weight of your tow vehicle and
park trailer must not exceed the GCWR.
Do not assume that you can tow a park
trailer that happens to be within the
capacity of the tow vehicle hitch. By doing
so, you may exceed the total GCWR of
your tow vehicle and park trailer towing
