SECTION 4
TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
4-6
·
During a flash flood, if you cannot move your
vehicle, abandon it. Do not attempt to return
to your vehicle before the water has receded.
·
Do not attempt to wade to your vehicle if the
water is above your knees - fast moving water
exerts an enormous amount of pressure, mak-
ing it impossible to remain standing or walk-
ing.
·
Do not try to drive through flooded areas.
·
Follow instructions of local authorities.
Leave immediately when advised to do so.
Many lives have been lost because people did
not heed warnings.
·
Have on hand survival supplies for several
days, including food, water, first aid equip-
ment and necessary medications. In desert
areas during hot weather allow 3-4 gallons of
drinking water per person, per day.
·
Before you leave home, inform someone of
your destination and when you expect to re-
turn. Authorities at your destination should
be notified immediately if you do not arrive
on time.
REMEMBER THESE TERMS:
WATCH:
Severe weather may develop in the
specified area. Be alert and prepare for possibil-
ity of an emergency.
WARNING:
Severe weather is occurring or is
imminent in certain areas. Move to a safe loca-
tion immediately.
We highly recommend that you obtain a
weather radio. These radios offer up-to-date
weather reports. The latest information and fore-
casts are broadcast by local National Weather
Service offices in recorded messages that last
from three to five minutes. These messages are
replayed continually 24 hours a day. The record-
ed messages are revised every three to four hours,
or more frequently when appropriate.
When severe weather threatens, forecasters at
the local National Weather Service office inter-
rupt the broadcasts with storm warnings, either
recorded or “live” as the situation demands.
The frequencies used for NOAA Weather Ra-
dio (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin-
istration) nationwide are 162.40, 162.475 or
162.55 megahertz.
NIGHTTIME DRIVING
·
Make sure all running lights and signal lights
are clean and in working order. Have your
headlights periodically checked and adjusted.
·
Use care when passing other vehicles. Your
motor home is a longer vehicle than a car, and
you may have a more difficult time knowing
when to pull back into your lane. If possible,
have another person in the coach help you
watch while maneuvering your motor home
in traffic.
MOUNTAIN DRIVING
Special techniques must be used when driving
in mountainous or hilly country.
Climbing A Hill
The transmission will automatically down-
shift as needed to climb most hills. If the hill is
long or very steep, however, you may need to
manually shift to a lower gear to keep the trans-
mission from repeatedly upshifting and down-
shifting. Select the lowest adequate gear range
for the duration of the incline. See your chassis
operating guide for more information.
