Hitches
After choosing your tow vehicle, it is very important to install a hitch system with weight
distributing bars to accommodate your travel trailer. This selection and installation
should be performed by a professional hitch service which may or may not be your
selling dealer. Sway control(s) may be needed based on size and weight of travel trailer,
as well as your tow vehicle.
A Class IV weight distribution hitch package is suggested. The rating of the hitch
package should be equal to or greater than the trailer’s GVWR and the hitch weight. The
very equipment that sometimes gives autos, trucks and sport utility vehicles a softer ride
can accentuate swaying when pulling a travel trailer. Conversely, suspension that is too
stiff will increase vibration, bounce and accelerate wear of your tow vehicle and travel
trailer. It is important that your travel trailer be level when hitched to your tow vehicle.
Educate yourself to protect you, your family and other motorists. Short wheel bases on
tow vehicles can contribute to sway.
WARNING:
We recommend the use of an anti-sway device or sway control
for all tow vehicle/trailer combinations.
CAUTIONS:
• Using an oversized or undersized hitch can cause damage to the frame of your
travel trailer.
• Jayco, Inc. cannot be responsible for the suspension system of the tow vehicle. The
final hitch ball height after the travel trailer is completely hooked up is a factor to
be considered. To avoid overloading your RV axles and minimize possible han-
dling difficulties, your RV should tow level when hooked to your tow vehicle.
• Do not overload your tow vehicle.
Hitch Height
Note: To determine the hitch height for your model, make sure
that the travel trailer is level. Measure from inside the hitch
coupler to the ground. Record this number in the box at the
side for future reference. The measurement below is an aver-
age measurement obtained by measuring several units with
different options. This gives you a target range for what your
unit will measure.
