Extend the tongue jack until the jack
is supporting the tongue weight and
some tow vehicle rear suspension
weight. This will reduce tension when
installing the spring bars.
Select equal number of chain links so
spring bars carry equal tension. Hook
chains to spring bar clamps on trailer
frame. Use a tool to pry clamps over
center. Engage safety clip mechanism
on spring bar clamps. Spring bars
should be parallel with trailer frame
when complete.
Retract the tongue jack completely. If a
footpad or wheel is removable, stow at
this time.
Attach breakaway cable to the tow
vehicle. Allow enough slack for tight
turns. The breakaway switch cable
should be positioned on the tow vehicle
separate from the hitch assembly.
Attach the safety chains to proper
location on the hitch receiver. Never
loop chains around the hitch ball.
Connect trailer wiring harness to
the tow plug connection on the tow
vehicle.
The next step is checking the trailer
brakes. Close vents, windows and
doors and secure items before
performing this test.
Drive forward and check the trailer
brakes by using the manual feature on
the brake control.
NOTE:
Confirm the hitch is properly locked
before towing. Confirm spring bars
are adjusted for proper weight
distribution.
Ride Angle
The recreational vehicle must be level when
hooked to the tow vehicle. If the hitch is too
low, the nose of the recreational vehicle may
drag on high spots in the road. If the hitch is
too high, the tail end of the recreational vehicle
may drag. Either of these conditions will affect
towing stability.
When the tow vehicle and recreational
vehicle are level, the suspension will work
properly and within the design limits. If
instability is still present, an “Anti-Sway”
device may be necessary to ensure a smooth
safe ride and predictable towing.
NOTE:
The recreational vehicle should be in a
level position when hitched to the tow
vehicle.
TOW pLug cONNEcTION
The recreational vehicle is equipped with a
wire harness located near the coupler. Current
draw should not exceed ten amps for each
designated light circuit.
The Tow Harness Wires are Color Coded:
1. White, 10 gauge - Ground
2. Blue, 12 gauge - Electric Brake
3. Green, 14 gauge - Tail, License &
Running Lights
4. Black, 10 gauge - Battery Charge
5. Red, 14 gauge - Left Turn & Stop
Lights
6. Brown, 14 gauge - Right Turn & Stop
Lights
7. Yellow, 14 gauge - Auxiliary Circuit
or Backup Lights.
Taillight Configuration:
Taillights come in different configurations
referred to as a 2-wire or 3-wire configuration.
A 2-wire configuration has all red lenses. A
3-wire configuration usually has red and amber
lenses. Amber is used for turn signals only and
red for taillight and brake light. These systems
are electrically different. Whenever hooking
a 2-wire system to a 3-wire system, or vice
versa, a converter box must be installed for
correct taillight function. A taillight converter
is available from auto and RV supply stores.
Do not attempt to wire a tow plug connector
if unfamiliar with these systems. A trained
technician will install the proper converter so
the taillights and turn signals work correctly on
the tow vehicle and the recreational vehicle.
