DO NOT tow anything behind your RV. The
RV frame and bumper are not designed for
towing.
P
ARKING
After the RV is in the desired location, set the
tow vehicle parking brake and place the
transmission in park. Turn OFF the ignition
switch. Go outside the RV and block all
wheels securely with wheel chocks. The
wheel chocks can be wood blocks or
purchased items as long as they prevent the
RV from rolling. Be aware of your
surroundings. If parking at night at a rest stop,
truck stop or parking lot choose a well-lighted
area.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when
parking in unfamiliar surroundings:
Have a pre-determined plan of action…
Develop response plans for all situations.
Dry-run typical situations as a way of making
your responses to each simulation second
nature. A cellular phone is a good
investment to protect yourself, especially
when traveling alone.
Be alert to all situations…
Assess your
surroundings to help anticipate possible
problems and responses. If someone
unfamiliar knocks on the door, do not open it
until you are certain the request is legitimate
and represents no possible harm to you or
your RV.
Trust your intuition…
This is a natural tool
at your disposal. If something does not
seem to be right, you may want to evacuate
the vicinity immediately or call 911.
Remember, nothing is 100 percent
effective…
Do not rely on your dog or an
alarm system, etc. Always remain wary.

TOPPING
Always carry road flares or reflective warning
signs to display if necessary. Pull off the
roadway as far as possible for emergency
stopping or tire changing. Turn ON your RV
hazard warning flashers. If traveling at night,
use three red warning indicators such as
flares, reflectors or lanterns, as follows:
1. Place the first warning indictor on the
traffic side of the RV, directed at the
nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100
feet behind the RV in the center of the
lane and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet
in front of the RV in the center of the lane
Towing items behind your RV, or
overloading the rear, will void the warranty
and may result in damage to the RV or
add-on items, towing difficulties, property
damage and/or personal injury. Damage
caused by improper towing is non-
warrantable.
Developing these habits may help prevent
loss to you or your property as you travel
and enjoy your RV.
