Safety When Emergency Stopping
It is wise to carry road flags and/or triangular warning devices to be
used when necessary. When pulling off a highway, use your four
way hazard lights as warning flashers, even if only to change
drivers. Pull off the roadway completely if at all possible to change
flat tires or any emergency need.
Additional Safety Considerations
1. Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see
sanitizing instructions).
2. Keep water connection fittings from coming in contact with the
ground or drain hose to reduce chance of contamination.
3. Enlist services of a Qualified RV Technician to test, repair or
replace any electrical or propane appliances in your R.V.
systems.
4. Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily
accessible location.
5. Insure that tires on your R.V. are in good condition and properly
inflated. Watch tire inflation closely. Under-inflated tires will
overheat. Check the tire pressure before each trip while the
tires are cold.
6. Check and tighten the wheel lugs regularly (every 50 miles when
new until 200 miles are reached and then check the lugs every
500 miles).
7. Test the brake operation BEFORE entering or traveling on a busy
highway.
8. Always block the trailer wheels solidly before unhitching.
9. Before leaving a camp area with a trailer in tow, insure:
a. The safety pin or locking lever is seated.
b. The breakaway wire is attached to the tow vehicle.
c. All jacks are raised so that they cannot touch the ground.
d. The 110-volt electrical cord is properly stored.
