1. Each stabilizer jack can be individually
adjusted to stabilize the trailer for use.
2. When setting your RV up on soft
ground, you may wish to place a wood
pad or the equivalent under each
stabilizer jack foot. This will help keep
the stabilizer jack from sinking into the
ground.
Manual stabilizer jacks (if so equipped)
To lower each jack, insert the jack crank onto
the applicable stabilizer jack shaft.
1. To lower each jack, insert the jack crank

OWING
You will find that your RV will travel safely and
comfortably at most posted trailer highway
speed limits. However, it will take longer than
a passenger automobile to reach that speed.
Keep this in mind when overtaking and
passing another vehicle. Allow more time to
go around the vehicle you are passing. You
cannot cut back into the traffic lane as quickly
due to the longer length of your tow
vehicle/RV combination. Drive with caution to
avoid situations that might require quick
momentum changes.
Even though your RV is equipped with brakes
designed for GVWR, we suggest practicing
stopping away from traffic until you become
accustomed to your RV’s stopping distance. A
good way to practice is at a large parking lot
(where it is permissible). Easing to a stop and
starting smoothly saves wear and tear on
your tow vehicle/RV combination.
DO NOT USE THE STABILIZER JACKS
TO LEVEL THE RV.
It is important to
remember that the stabilizer jacks are to be
used only for support while occupying and
moving around the RV. They are not
designed to bear the weight of the RV.
Your RV braking system is rated for
operation at GVWR not GCWR.
Whenever possible, do not travel with
waste in the holding tanks. Liquid or debris
in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing
characteristics and may result in property
damage or personal injury.
