EMINARS
If you have any concerns about driving while
towing a RV, consult an expert for specific RV
driver education. There are private RV
schools and some RV owner's organizations
that offer driving seminars. The schedules
and locations of the various RV driver
education seminars and schools can be
researched through RV-related publications
and internet sites.
Use caution when using the internet as a
resource tool. Verify the information is from a
credited and reliable source in the RV
industry, and it pertains to your RV. If in
doubt, contact your dealer or Jayco Customer
Service.

RIVING
&
A
LCOHOL
The presence of alcohol in significant levels in
the blood increases the probability that the
driver will be involved in an accident. Exercise
your good judgment and encourage others to
do the same. Know the legal alcohol limits
and do not exceed them. Be aware of your
personal limits, which may be lower than the
legal limits. Should you ever exceed your
limits or find your driving is impaired, find
alternative transportation.
NEVER DRINK
AND THEN DRIVE.

The breakaway switch is a crucial part of the
RV braking system. Located on the park
trailer A-frame, this switch will apply the trailer
brakes if the trailer becomes detached from
the tow vehicle. Attach the breakaway switch
lanyard to a permanent part of the tow vehicle
(on a park trailer do not attach it to the hitch
ball or similar removable parts) when hitching
the trailer. If the RV becomes detached from
the tow vehicle, the pull pin will be pulled from
the switch. This automatically causes the
switch to “close” and activates the RV brakes.
A battery (customer supplied) must be
installed to activate the breakaway switch.

HAINS
Safety chain requirements vary from state to
state. 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.
Fig. 4.1 Safety chain installation
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.
Driving after drinking or taking drugs
(including some prescriptions and/or over-
the-counter medications) can lead to an
accident. Studies have shown perceptions
are less sharp, reflexes are slower,
drowsiness may be experienced and/or
judgment may be impaired.
NEVER use the breakaway switch and
trailer brake system as a parking brake.
Doing so would create a high amp draw on
the battery and converter. This can cause
damage to wiring, connectors and the
breakaway switch.
