LIGNMENT
The term alignment refers to both the
adjustment angles on the steering axle and
suspension and tracking of the rear axle.
Many factors are considered when
establishing proper alignment. Steering
components, suspension, wheel bearings and
even proper loading will affect the alignment.
We recommend you have the front
suspension and steering alignment checked
and adjusted after you have fully loaded the
vehicle according to your needs as part of the
vehicle maintenance. Thereafter, it is your
responsibility to have the alignment inspected
periodically to maintain vehicle steering
performance and prevent uneven tire wear as
part of your normal maintenance. Always
have the alignment checked and adjusted by
a qualified shop with the proper equipment to
handle heavy vehicles.
A road test by the dealer should be included
as part of the pre-delivery inspection. The
dealer can then check for and correct any
steering problems before you take delivery.
After this road test has been completed, front-
end alignment and/or vibrations will not be
covered as part of the new vehicle limited
warranty.

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 motor home is
important, but it cannot be overstated just
how critical proper tire maintenance is to the
safety, operation and durability of your new
motor home. 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.
When you are using your motor home, check
inflation pressure weekly to insure maximum
tire life and travel wear. Pressure should be
checked when the tires are cold. During
travel, tires heat up and pressure increases.
Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires
may then be under-inflated
.
NOTE:
Cold tire inflation pressure is defined
as a tire that has not been used for three or
more hours, or has been driven less than one
mile. Tire inflation pressure of a hot tire may
show an increase of as much as 6 psi over a
cold tire.
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.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each trip 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.
Tire pressure is the most important factor in
the life and performance of your tires. Proper
inflation should be monitored closely. Failure
to do so could result in the overheating of a
tire, which could result in a blowout. Inflation
pressure should be as recommended by the
tire manufacturer or as the federal label for
the motor home indicates.
