Jayco MELBOURNE - Emergency Stopping; Emergency Towing

Remember, nothing is 100 percent
effective… Do not rely on your dog or an
alarm system, etc. Always remain wary.
Developing these habits may help prevent loss
to you or your property as you travel and enjoy
your RV.
EMERGENCY STOPPING
Always carry road flares or reflective warning
signs to display if necessary. Pull off the
roadway as far as possible for emergency
stopping or tire changing. Turn ON your
hazard warning flashers. If traveling at night,
use three red warning indicators such as
flares, reflectors or lanterns as required by the
Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic
Ordinance as follows:
1. Place the first warning indictor on the traffic
side of the RV, directed at the nearest
approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100
feet behind the RV in the center of the lane
and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet
in front of the RV in the center of the lane
and away from the traffic approaching from
behind.
The hazard-warning flasher provides
additional safety if the RV is stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible
hazard to other motorists. When the flasher is
on, it serves as a warning to others to
approach and overtake your vehicle with
caution.
For personal safety, always stand off the
road and out of the way of traffic. Curves
and/or hills may affect the safe placement
of warning indicators
