Egress Exit Window
Motor homes are equipped with an egress exit
window. This window is designed to be used as an
additional exit for the motor home in the case of an
emergency. It can easily be identified by the red
color of the handle. Open the egress window by lift-
ing the handle and pushing outward on the window.
The window can be closed by pulling the window
closed and lowering the handle to the down or locked
position.
Towing Procedure
It is recommended that if a towing company is
called make sure they use a stinger (an arm that goes
under motor home and hooks to front cross member). This is the safest and most effi-
cient way to tow a motor home. It also protects the front bumper and cap from damage.
Generally, if your motor home ever needs to be towed follow these instructions.
• Secure any loose or protruding parts if motor home is damaged.
• Inspect points of attachment on disabled motor home. If attachment points are
damaged, select other attachment points at a substantial frame structural
member.
• Never allow anyone to go under a motor home while it is being lifted by towing
equipment unless the disabled motor home is adequately supported by safety
stands.
• Do not tow motor home from the rear. Towing from the rear will cause front
tires and suspension to be seriously overloaded, possibly resulting in tire or
front suspension failure. Rear frame extensions are not designed to withstand
loads imposed by lifting the rear of motor home.
• If rear wheels are disabled place motor home on a flat bed trailer, or use a
heavy duty dolly under rear wheels and tow from the front of the motor home.
• Drive shaft should be removed to protect transmission.
Towing Without Stinger
Make sure the tow truck can safely pull the weight of your motor home. It is rec-
ommended that you give the tow company the weight of your motor home when you call
them. If your motor home is going to be towed without a stinger do the following:
• Wrap chains around both A=arms or front axle on each side.
