SECTION 14: CHECKLISTS
TRAVEL CHECKLIST
Following is a preliminary list of items that need to be checked before
leaving your home or campsite. This is a general list, which you may
want to customize as you determine your own needs.
For your convenience a quickstart guide is also available from within
the JAYCOMMAND/TravelLINK mobile phone app (if equipped) that
walks you through the steps to setup your RV at the campsite or
prepare it for travel.
Safety
□ Make sure you follow all safety precautions noted in this
owner’s manual and in any manufacturer’s operators
manual when preparing to travel.
Maintenance
□ Inspect seals and reseal as needed.
□ Have the propane system checked for leaks by your dealer.
□ Check wheel lug nuts after first two hundred miles and at
specified intervals to listed torque specifications, re-torque as
needed.
□ Have brakes adjusted by a qualified service technician.
□ Sanitize the fresh water system.
□ Test the safety alarms.
Before leaving home (or campsite)
□ Make sure all tow vehicle fluids are at proper levels. Check the
engine oil, transmission fluid, engine coolant, power steering fluid
and wind shield washer fluid.
□ Check the lights on the RV. Have someone observe the
operation of all exterior lights while you activate the
controls. Check the turn signals and brake lights.
□ Examine the tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass or other objects lodged in
the tread. Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall cracks.
□ Check tire pressure (including spare) and correct according to
manufacturer specifications.
□ Check wheel lug nuts for tightness.
□ Inspect safety chains for signs of wear.
□ Inspect and work all interior and exterior latches and locks (lube
if necessary).
□ Make sure the batteries are fully charged and installed correctly.
□ Inspect the power cord and carefully clean the contacts if
necessary. Plug in the power cord to an appropriate power
source.
□ Turn on the interior lights and check outlets for polarity. If
needed, replace any blown fuses. Check the circuit breakers and
test the GFCI.
□ Check the propane cylinder gauge to make sure there is propane
available. Make sure the propane cylinder is in place and secure
for transport.
□ Inspect and turn on the propane system. If you have any
questions, contact your dealer or a qualified propane service
representative for assistance. If the propane system is
functioning properly, test any pilot lights or direct spark ignition
features. Turn off the propane when finished.
□ Inspect and test all safety detectors. If needed, replace any
drained or discharged batteries. If you have a defective or
damaged safety detector, replace it immediately.
□ Inspect the leveling jacks (if equipped) for operation. If
needed, perform maintenance as specified by the leveling jack
manufacturer.
□ Test all exterior and interior lights. Replace any bulbs if they are
burnt out.
□ Wash the exterior of the RV. Do a sealant inspection and repair
as necessary.
□ De-winterize and sanitize the fresh water system.
□ Connect your tow vehicle to the RV and test all connections
and lights.
□ Test brakes.
