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

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
travel trailer A-frame or fifth wheel pin box,
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 travel 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.

A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is
wired into your trailer to connect electrical
power from the tow vehicle for travel. This
supplies power to the RV brakes, tail lights,
clearance lights, turn signals, brake lights,
etc. Wiring to operate your brakes must be
the same size in both the tow vehicle and
RV (the RV brake wiring is 12-gauge wire).
When attaching wires to your tow vehicle,
carefully and tightly tape all the connections
for moisture protection.

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.
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.
