Additional Safety Considerations

I

WARNING: For traveling safety, it is extremely important to read,
understand and follow the towing, hitching and loading cargo
information provided in the “Before You Travel...” chapter. If you do
not understand the information provided, please consult your
independent, authorized dealer.

• Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).
• Prevent water connections from coming in contact with the ground or drain hose to

reduce chance of contamination.

• Have a certified RV technician repair and maintain the propane or electrical

appliances.

• Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily accessible location.
• Carefully read the loading section in the “Before You Travel...” chapter related to

your trailer.

• Ensure that the tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Monitor the tire

pressure closely for proper inflation. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating
of a tire, which could result in a blowout.

• Check and tighten the wheel lugs after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and then again

after 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers). Check periodically as described in the axle
manufacturer’s owner’s manual thereafter.

• Check the brakes in a safe area - not while traveling on a busy highway.
• Always block the trailer wheels solidly before unhitching from the tow vehicle.
• Never move the unit while people are inside.
• Before leaving a camping area towing a trailer, refer to the “Preparing to Travel

Home...” chapter and review all applicable instructions.

• Observe the warning labels attached to your vehicle concerning propane, water,

electricity and loading.

• Observe the maintenance chart in this manual and all applicable information supplied

by component part manufacturers related to your respective unit.

COLD WEATHER/EXTENDED USE

Your trailer has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not intended to be
used as full-time living quarters.

Caution: Continuous living in your trailer could cause accelerated wear and
damage to component parts. It also voids the warranty.

• Use of this trailer during cold weather will require more protection. Using skirting or

insulation below floor level will provide additional protection if you are camped in
one area for an extended period.

• Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and drainage systems to avoid

freezing problems. Consult with your independent, authorized dealer or RV supply
house for advice on heat tapes, etc.
