While camping, make sure the jacks are lowered and that chocks have been installed in front and
behind the wheels. Movement of the trailer could cause damage or serious injuries.
Carry out all maintenance of the trailer and its equipment according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations and instructions.
Never pierce the aluminum chassis of the ALTO for any reason. This would void the warranty.
Transport of Passengers in Trailer When Travelling
Transportation of people in trailers puts their lives at risk and is illegal. The trailer does not have
seat belts; therefore, it is not designed to carry passengers.
Reducing Fishtailing or Sway
Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of
your travel trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle resulting in serious injury
or death. Be sure to follow the instructions in this manual.
Towing and Weight Distribution

in this manual.
Mould
There are mould and mould spores all over the indoor and outdoor environment. There is no

Appliances and Equipment

gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or
explosion. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as the specific
owners’ manuals of the appliances and equipment.
Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of
your trailer. Under-inflated tires and overloaded trailers are major causes of tire failure.
Chemical Sensitivity
After you first purchase your new trailer and sometimes after it has been closed up for an
extended period of time, you may notice a strong odour and experience chemical sensitivity. This
is not a defect in your trailer. Like your home, there are many different products used in the
construction of trailers such as linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is
also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints,
