Pre-Travel Information
PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
To help ensure your traveling enjoyment, call ahead for tourist
information in each area that you will be visiting or traveling
through. To help eliminate frustration, make sure you obtain
the most current road maps. Research and make sure there
are no federal, state or local regulations that may prohibit you
from fully enjoying your camping adventure.
• Arrange for someone to check your house periodically
while you are away. Stop mail or newspaper delivery.
• If you intend to be away for more than two weeks, you
may want to consider requesting police surveillance
for your house.
• Carry an extra set of vehicle and house keys with you
on a separate key ring.
• Be sure to renew your license if it has expired, or will
expire during your trip.
• If you are planning to visit other countries, contact the
consulate nearest the point at which you plan to enter
that country for the specific and most current informa-
tion (including rules for re-entering the United States).
Always carry your vehicle registration, insurance policy
card(s) and warranty registration.
TOW VEHICLE DISCLAIMER
If you plan to tow your RV with a tow vehicle you already own,
contact your automotive dealer to find out your vehicle towing
capacity. If you plan to purchase a new tow vehicle, be certain
to tell your automotive dealer the GVWR, size and type of RV
that you will be towing (some tow vehicles can be purchased
with an optional tow package). As a minimum requirement,
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your RV must not
exceed your tow vehicle’s towing rating.
Some automotive manufacturers publish brochures that dis-
cuss towing considerations. Ask your automotive dealer how
to obtain a copy of this information. If applicable, verify if the
brochure ratings are listed “with” or “without” an optional tow
package.
