ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tire Pressure – Tire pressure should be checked before de-
parting on any trip, regardless of how short it may be. Always
refer to the Tire Information Label attached to your vehicle for
proper tire inflation pressures.
Wheel Torque – Lug nut torque at every wheel should be
checked before departing on any trip, regardless of how short
it may be. Refer to the Tire & Wheel section of this manual
for lug nut torque specifications and patterns. Always use a
calibrated torque wrench to confirm proper torque.
Propane Appliances & Equipment – Be sure all propane
equipment & appliance (including the tanks) are turned off
before departing on a trip. Understand all propane safety
warnings and follow component manufacturer recommended
operating procedures. Because propane is flammable improp-
er use may result in a fire or explosion.
Passenger Safety – Passengers should never be allowed to
travel inside your recreational vehicle while in transit. Several
states have very specific laws prohibiting this practice.
Loading & Weight Distribution – Distribute weight evenly
throughout your vehicle. Heavier items should be located
close to the floor in the center of your vehicle. Be sure to
balance loads front to rear and side to side. Never exceed the
Cargo Carrying Capacity and/or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
of your trailer.
