WARNING
Towing the Showmobile
Important: Moving your Showmobile from one location to another is like moving any large house trailer�
Because of the size and weight of the unit, use a tow vehicle that has adequate towing capacity and is
suitably equipped to tow a trailer of this size�
Connecting The Towing Vehicle
1. Tie-downs are located along the stage floor inside the
Showmobile� Locate cargo near tie-downs, and securely
tighten the tie-down straps which are provided� Place
cargo forward of axles to improve trailer handling�
2� Be sure that the hitch on the towing vehicle is at the
correct height so the Showmobile will be level front-to-
rear (as measured on a level surface) when towed�
3� Use the hitch jack to raise the front of the Showmobile�
Back the towing vehicle under the hitch, and secure
the hitch to the towing vehicle�
4� Attach the 12-volt electrical supply cord to the towing
vehicle, to operate the stop, turn, marker, clearance,
and license-plate lights, and electrical brakes�
5� Attach the breakaway cable to the towing vehicle�
Important:
Never disconnect the breakaway cable by
pulling the pin out of the switch on the Showmobile�
If the pin is pulled from the switch, the Showmobile
brakes are activated and will drain the battery within
two hours�
6� Fully raise the Showmobile hitch jack�
7�
Attach the safety chains from the towing vehicle to
the Showmobile�
8� Be sure that the Showmobile end panels are
secured in their closed positions and that all storage
and control compartment doors are locked�
9� Tongue weight as measured on a certified scale
should be at least 10–15% of the GVW�
Important Precautions While Towing
• Never tow the unit when there are strong cross winds�
• Always slow down sufficiently before cornering with the
Showmobile�
• Always provide adequate clearance for the corner
jacks when towing� Because of the extreme length
of the Showmobile, extreme changes in ground level
can cause its stabilizing jacks to drag: use appropriate
maneuvering to avoid this�
• Never back the Showmobile over curbs�
• Always tow Showmobile "level" or parallel to roadway�
• Always place cargo forward of axles to improve trailer
handling�
