I
TOWING
In
towing your Jayco trailer you need to realize the ex.tra weight
behind your vehicle. Below are listed some pointers which
you
need
to remember in traveling.
With the trailer attached you will have slower acceleration and
need more distance to stop your vehicles.
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.
In passing or changing lanes remember that you need a longer
distance to pass.
Use your rearview mirrors frequently to observe your trailer and
traffic conditions.
When
being passed by
a
large truck or bus,
be
prepared for
displaced air as it may cause you to sway slightly.
Upon
climbing
steep, long grades and again descending,
remember to use lower gears even before it seems necessary. Use
your brakes smoothly and evenly.
Remember
to drive more slowly on wet and icy highways to have
better
control
of
your vehicles.
Located
on
the
left front corner
of
the frame or on the
left
front tongue
member is the Federal Certification Label which gives the maximum
weight-carrying capacities of your trailer and each axle, designated
by
the
letters "GVWR" and "GAWR", respectively.
The
"GVWR",
which means "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating",
is
the
maximum your trailer should weigh
with
water, L.P.-gas, food,
clothing, and other camping supplies loaded
in
the coach.
Each axle also has a maximum load-rating capacity referred to as the
"Gross
Axle Weight Rating"
(GAWR).
