Tow Car or Trailer:
1. Connect a tow car or trailer to the
motorhome with safety chains rated for
the weight of load.
2. Make the electrical connection and per-
form a light check before starting a trip
and at each rest stop.
3. Check the tires frequently. Flat tires on a
towed vehicle cannot be detected from
the motorhome while driving. A flat tire
is a safety hazard and may cause exten-
sive damage.
WARNING:
Be sure the weight ratings of the ball mount, tow ball and safety chains are equal to or
greater than the load. The use of an extension to the receiver or extended ball mount
will significantly reduce hitch receiver weight ratings. Modifications to the hitch
receiver, or use of the hitch receiver other than intended, can void the warranty of the
hitch receiver, chassis or both.
Tow Plug Connection
The motorhome is prewired with a trailer wire
harness. The harness is located on or near the hitch
receiver. Convoluted tubing protects the tow harness
wires. Current draw should not exceed ten amps for
each designated circuit.
NOTE:
When towing a trailer or vehicle with a
two-wire system, a turn signal/brake light
converter will be needed to adapt the tow
plug wiring to the item being towed.
