careful your unit does not occupy road space or block driveways while parking. When
parking on an incline, turn the front wheels into the curb in the direction of the roll to aid
the parking brake. Always set the parking brake when parking.
If absolutely necessary, change the tire on a level and firm surface. If you are on the
roadside, activate the vehicle’s hazard warning flashers. Apply the parking brake. Set
up flares and or warning lights. See the chassis manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
specific jacking and tire removal, and replacement instructions, which pertain to your
unit. Lug nuts vary from chassis to chassis, and the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of
your motorhome. (See Chassis Owner’s Manual for specific instructions on tightening
lug nuts). After operating 50-100 miles, retighten to the same specification. If you don’t
have proper equipment, stop at the nearest service facility and have the torque of the
lug nuts checked.
The most important factor in maximizing the life of your tires is maintaining proper
inflation pressure. An under inflated tire will build up excessive heat that may go beyond
the prescribed limits of endurance of the rubber and the radial cords. Over inflation
will reduce the tire’s footprint on the road, reducing the traction, braking capacity, and
handling of your vehicle. An over inflated tire will also cause a harsh ride and uneven
tire wear.
To determine the correct air pressure for your tires, load your motorhome as you would
normally for travel, including water and fuel. Determine the correct air pressure for the
weight on each axle and adjust the pressure according to the Federal Certification
Label when the tires are cool or have not been driven for more than one mile. Never
reduce the air pressure in a hot tire.
Never let air out of a hot tire.
Now that you have found what the correct air pressure per axle needs to be for your
motorhome when loaded, you need to know when to check your air pressure. You
should check the air pressure every two weeks or at least once a month and before any
major trip. Your motorhome’s air pressure should be checked every morning on long
trips. On short trips of a day or less of driving each way, your tires should be checked
before you start your trip home. If your vehicle is stored for any length of time, the air
pressure should be checked prior to storage, but more importantly, when it comes out
of storage.
Check your tires when they are “cold” and have not been driven for more than one
mile. The stated load capacity for a given cold inflation pressure is based on ambient
outside temperature.

PRESSURE
Changing a tire on a motorhome is more difficult than
an ordinary automobile. Motorhome tires are larger and
heavier than ordinary tires. Whenever possible, call for
roadside assistance to help you in changing your tires.
This task should not be done alone due to the weight of
the unit. Motorhomes are extremely heavy. Changing a
flat tire is best left to a professional mechanic with the
proper equipment.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Never place the jack under a bumper or under the edge of
the sidewall. Always place the jack as specified by the
chassis owner’s manual. Never use the rear differential
as a jacking point. Use the jack only for changing tires.
NEVER get underneath the vehicle when using the jack;
never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the
jack.
