Towing
If your RV is equipped with the Command Control Bluetooth system, make sure you turn o
your battery disconnect switch according to the following instructions.
This caution label has been placed in an area near the bat-
tery disconnect switch on your RV.
Your RV will travel safely and comfortably at highway speed limits. It will take longer than
a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Allow more time to go around vehicles you are
passing. Avoid situations that might require sudden momentum changes as the length of the
tow vehicle/RV combination aects your ability to quickly cut back into trac. Swerves
and sharp turns, especially at high speeds, could result in loss of control of the tow vehicle/
RV. Slow down in advance of dips, bumps and railroad tracks to reduce the jolting to your
tow vehicle/RV combination. Proceed slowly and let the trailer tires pass over them before
accelerating.
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may aect the performance and han-
dling of your tow vehicle. Do not operate the tow vehicle cruise control on icy or extremely
wet roads, winding roads, in heavy trac or in any other trac situation where a constant
speed cannot be maintained.
When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear or range. Avoid conditions that
require excessive and prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short inter-
vals to allow them to cool. The tow vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling
downhill speed and can lengthen brake life. Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a
slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.
Know the weight and size of your towing combination and observe any posted weight and
clearance limits. The added height of roof air conditioners, TV antennas or oodlights may
Certain components inside the RV can unexpectedly activate which could
result in personal injury or property damage.
Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid
or debris in the holding tank(s) may aect the towing characteristics and
may result in property damage or personal injury.
The propane cylinder(s) should be turned o when traveling. Most re-
frigerators will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours without running
while you travel.
