SECTION 5

RV TIRES

Read and understand the following before
taking your first trip in your RV!

Proper care and maintenance of your tires is
essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel. Taking time to
become educated on the special qualities of
RV tires and care they require will enhance
your travel enjoyment.

Routine maintenance on your RV is
important, but it cannot be overstated just
how critical proper tire maintenance is to the
safety, operation and durability of your new
RV. You must follow the manufacturer’s
inflation guidelines for maximum load
capacity; under-inflation is just as dangerous
as over-inflation. To insure your tires are
operating safely, regular inspection of your
tires and checking tire pressures is absolutely
mandatory.

Examine your tires frequently for unusual
wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear
will affect tire wear. Make sure to look for
cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.
Check and adjust tire pressures before and
after each trip. Always check and adjust with
the tires cold. Never add or release pressure

from the tires when they are hot (or after
having driven a mile or more).

Replacement

If you experience a flat tire on your RV while
driving, gradually decrease your vehicle
speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel
firmly and move the RV to a safe place on the
side of the road. Any service or warranty
coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire
store representing the brand installed on your
RV; they are not to be returned to your dealer
or Jayco.

If you have questions regarding

your tires, contact the tire OEM or Jayco
Customer Service.

Failure to follow proper inflation
guidelines may result in tire failure,
which, under certain circumstances can
cause loss of vehicle control or
accidents that may result in property
damage, bodily injury and/or death.

Be sure to use only tires that are rated for
RV use. The use of passenger tires should
be avoided; they do not have the same
load capability as tires that are specifically
identified for RV use.

It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each journey
to obtain the maximum life of the tire.
Follow the instructions listed on the Federal
Certification label to determine the correct
tire pressure. Under-inflation may cause
tire failures and swaying; this may result in
loss of control, injury, death or property
damage.

When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label.)

Raising the RV to replace the spare tire
should only be done with extreme caution
by a qualified technician. The vehicle
could slip, causing personal injury or
death.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS

YOURSELF.
