SECTION 

III 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Code of Ethics 

All recreational vehicles owners share a common set 
of values and standards because we are all judged 
by the actions of each other. 

 

The Recreational Code of Ethics is as follows: 

When Camping, I will... 

1.

 

Dispose of sewage in recommended places 

only; such as approved dumping stations - never 
contaminate lakes or streams. 
2.

 

Discharge my kitchen sink and shower 

waste only in designated and approved locations. 
3.

 

Use extreme caution with any fire, insuring 

that it is never unattended and is properly extin-
guished when I leave. 
4.

 

Be especially careful with matches, 

cigarettes, cigars, or pipe heels and will obey all 
regulations pertaining to "No Smoking" areas. 
5.

 

Place all garbage and trash in the receptacle 

provided, leaving no refuse on the grounds. 
6.

 

Never damage trees, shrubs or other items 

of natural beauty. 
7.

 

Leave my campsite as clean or cleaner than 

I found it. 
8.

 

Position my recreational vehicle so that I do 

not disturb or interfere with others. 
9.

 

Always ask permission to park on private 

property when other facilities are unavailable. 
10.

 

Comply with all rules and regulations of the 

forests and parks where I am staying. 

When Driving, I will... 

11.

 

Realize that common courtesy and many 

laws require that on a two lane highway where 
passing is unsafe because of traffic in the 
opposite direction or other conditions, a slow 
moving vehicle, behind which three or more 
vehicles are formed in line, shall turn off the 
roadway wherever sufficient area for a safe 
turnout exists, in order to permit the vehicles 
following to proceed. A slow moving vehicle is 
one which is proceeding at a rate of speed less 
than normal flow of traffic at the particular time 
and place. 
12.

 

Never be a litterbug, storing all refuse in 

my vehicle until it can be disposed of in a 
proper container. 
13.

 

Be especially careful to always use my 

ashtray for cigarettes, cigars, and matches - 
not the open window of my vehicle. 
14.

 

Keep in the right hand lane except when 

passing. 
15.

 

Adhere to all recreational vehicle traffic 

regulations. 

 

On maintaining my recreational vehicle, I will... 

16.

 

Frequently check the operation of the 

brakes and break-away device on my trailer. 
17.

 

Properly secure my LPG bottles, battery, 

and accessories before traveling. 
18.

 

Grease wheel bearings and other moving 

parts of my recreational vehicle periodically. 
19.

 

Check the tires, wheel lugs, directional 

signals, and lights frequently 
20.

 

Carry sufficient insurance to protect 

others in case of accident. 
21.

 

Encourage my neighbors to follow this 

Code of Ethics. 

 

Helpful Hints for the New Owner 
Safety Considerations. 

Here is a list of some 

important safety checks to always review and 
keep in mind while you travel: 
 
1.

 

Never overload your vehicle. Improper load 
distribution can cause serious handling 
problems while on the road. 

2.

 

Do not modify your unit without consulting us 
first. External modifications such as 
motorcycle racks, boat racks, and extended 
trailer bumpers have a direct effect upon the 
balance and handling of your recreational 
vehicle and may void your warranty. 

3.

 

Be sure that your tires are in good condition, 
have adequate tread, and are properly inflated. 

4.

 

Check State and Provincial Laws in advance 
regarding their requirements for brakes, 
vehicle length and weight, mirrors, break-
away devices, reflectors flares, fire 
extinguishers, etc. 

5.

 

Never attempt to repair or alter a gas or 
electric appliance. Always consult an autho-
rized and qualified service agency. 

6.

 

Thoroughly test your travel trailer brakes 
while off the road – not on the freeway.
