• Pass chains beneath tow bar below bumper.
• Position a 6’ x 6’ timber between ends of main frame rails and tow vehicle
transfer plate to maintain clearance to body parts.
• Attach safety chains, which are completely independent of primary lifting
device, to main frame walls.
• When the motor home is under tow, allow enough room between the front of
the motor home and rear of the tow vehicle while turning corners.
Using Rear Hitch
When using a rear hitch remember that your motor home is intended for towing
light loads. Your motor home is designed to be used primarily as a recreational vehicle,
towing will affect durability and economy. Your safety and satisfaction require proper
use. Avoid excessive loads or any other abuse. Instructions for towing are listed in the
chassis Owner’s manual provided in your Owner’s Information File. You should not use
your motor home to tow anything until your motor home has been driven 500 miles (800
kilometers). Weight pushing down on the rear hitch must not exceed 300 pounds. We
recommend weighing your motor home as it will be operated to be certain that there is
proper weight distribution. When weighing your motor home be sure to take the pas-
senger locations into consideration. Total weight of your motor home and any vehicle
towed by it must not exceed the GCWR.
