SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT AND
TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly ac-
curate equipment prior to delivery to the dealer-
ship. However, we recommend that alignment be
checked and adjusted, if necessary, after you
have fully loaded the motor home according to
your personal needs. Thereafter, the alignment
should be periodically inspected to help prevent
uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may in-
dicate worn or misaligned suspension or steering,
unbalanced tire or other tire/suspension problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s suspen-
sion and steering components periodically for
misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to annoying vibrations and uneven tread
wear such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may
need to be balanced if uneven wear is detected or
if ride comfort decreases noticeably.
See your chassis operating guide for further
information.
Rear Air Springs
Optional - 27’, 30’ & 31’ models
Check and adjust the air bag pressure periodi-
cally to maintain optimal ride and handling char-
acteristics according to cargo weight.
Min. press.: 20 p.s.i.
Max. press.: 100 p.s.i.
NOTE: Your motor home’s load capacity is
designated by weight, not by volume, so
you cannot necessarily use all available
space when loading your motor home.
See page 4-1 for more information.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
AND WIPERS
See your chassis operating guide for recom-
mendations and precautions regarding washers
and wipers.
LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked for prop-
er operation each time the vehicle is prepared for
a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light should be
checked and replaced, when necessary, with a
new bulb of the same size. A failure of more than
one light, such as both taillights not operating,
may indicate a burned out fuse. Check fuse and
replace with one of the same rating when neces-
sary. If a fuse is not the cause of the problem, the
Make sure all replacement tires are of
the same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
