Backing Up Trailers:
Towed vehicles using a tow bar or tow dolly
have more than one pivot point and are not
suitable for backing. Attempting to back up the
motorhome while connected to a tow bar or
tow dolly can jack-knife the tow device causing
the wheels of the towed vehicle to move in
a forward “sideways” motion that will cause
irreparable and expensive damage. If necessary,
disconnect the tow vehicle to avoid a backing up
situation.
Trailers have one pivot point and may be
backed up. The same rules for backing a
motorhome can be applied to backing a trailer.
When preparing to back the trailer into a space,
maneuver the motorhome sweeping wide. Turn
back to the opposite direction to maneuver the
trailer into the space. Keep the bottom of the
steering wheel in the desired direction of travel
for the trailer.
For example:
If the desired
direction of the trailer is left, rotate the bottom
of the steering wheel left.
If the trailer moves in an undesired direction,
use a short “pull-up” method, pulling forward
just far enough to align the trailer with the space.
The co-pilot should stand safely at the left rear
corner of the trailer within view of the driver in
the roadside mirror, using the fi ve hand signals
for guidance.
CAUTION:
Tow bars or car dollies are generally
made to travel in a forward direction
only. Most towing equipment of this
type is not designed for backing. Never
attempt short back up distances with
a tow bar or tow dolly. Damage to the
motorhome, vehicle or towing device
will result.
SET-UP PROCEDURES
If the site for the motorhome provides full
hook-ups, use this quick reference as a guide
only. This information is an overview on
hooking up the utilities and preparing appliances
for use. Specifi c information on slide room,
awning and leveling system operations is
discussed in detail in other sections.
1. Level the motorhome:
Follow the procedures and guidelines for
“ Leveling the Motorhome ” in Section
10 . Confi rm that the parking surface will
accommodate the weight placed on the
jacks.
2. Hook up utilities and prepare appliances
for use:
Open the LP-Gas tank primary valve.
Prepare the shore cord for connection.
Uncoil and inspect the cord, and perform
necessary cord maintenance. Install
proper electrical adapters if anything
other than 50 Amp service is provided.
Operate electrical appliances in sequence
when hooked to limited shore power
service. Turn shore power circuit breaker
OFF prior to plugging in the shore cord.
Begin appliance operation on LP-Gas, if
hooked to less than 50 Amp service, for
the fi rst 60 minutes. This allows time for
the inverter to stabilize battery charging.

CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15
or 20 Amps, use of light duty extension
cords and electrical adapters will
create a voltage loss through the cord
and at each electrical connection. Line
voltage loss and the resistance at each
electrical connection can be a hazardous
combination. Damage to sensitive
electronic equipment may result.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove cover from the shore
power supply to troubleshoot electricity
to the motorhome. Serious personal
injury or death may occur. If there is
no power to the motorhome, inform the
park manager. It is the park manager’s
responsibility to fix any problems with
the shore hook-up at the site.
NOTE:
To avoid shore power overload when
hooked to 30 Amp service, determine
appliances current load prior to turning
on appliances or using interior outlets.
