TO
WING
Xn towing your Jayco trailer you need to realize the extra weight
behind your vehicle. Below are listed some pointers which you need
to remember in traveling.
1.
With the trailer attached you will have slower acceleration and
need more distance to stop your vehicles.
2.
Be
sure you have enough area at corners when you are turning, as
wider turns are necessary.
Be
sure to use your turn signals
for
your own safety.
3.
fn
passing or changing lanes remember that you need a longer
distance to pass.
4.
Use
your
rearview mirrors frequently to observe your trailer and
tra& conditions.
5.
When
being
passed
by
a
large truck or
bus,
be prepared
for
displaced air as it may cause you
to
sway slightly.
6.
Upon climbing steep, long grades and again descending,
remember to use lower gears even before it seems necessary.
Use
your brakes smoothly and evenly.
7.
Remember to drive more slowly on wet and icy highways to have
better control of your vehicles.
