GENERAL DRIVING TIPS
Remember that your motor home is heavier than a car, making it less
maneuverable and harder to stop. Also, because
of
its greater-side surface area,
it is more easily-affected by cross winds and/or overtaking traffic. Allow extra
distances for passing and stopping, and drive
ata
moderate speed, particularly
in traffic and
in
gusty wind conditions.
Be
aware
of
the extra height
of
your motor home. Check for low hanging
tree branches or other obstructions whenever you drive or park. Avoid low
overhangs when pulling in
for service. Alwayscheck overhead clearances
of
overpasses and bridges. Before leaving on a trip, check your route. Some
tunnels prohibit motor homes with
LP
gas systems.
When parking parallel to a curb,
be
sure to allow for poles or obstructions
as
the front and rear portions
of
the motor home swing wider than an-
automobile. When parking on an incline, tum the front wheels into the curb in
the direction
.of
the roll to aid the parking brake. When parking set the parking
. brake.
