Driving & Safety --- Section 2
Cayman 2005
59
If the motorhome needs to be towed, use the following instructions:
• Secure any loose or protruding parts if the motorhome is damaged.
• Inspect the points of attachment on a disabled motorhome. If attachment
points are damaged, select other attachment points at a substantial
frame structural member.
• Never allow anyone to go under a motorhome while it is being lifted
by towing equipment unless the disabled motorhome is adequately
supported by safety stands.
• Do not tow the motorhome from the rear. Towing from the rear will
severely overload the front tires and suspension possibly resulting in
tire and/or front suspension failure. Rear frame extensions are not
designed to support weight loads imposed by lifting the motorhome
from the rear.
• If the rear wheels are disabled, place the motorhome on a flat bed
trailer, or use a heavy duty dolly under the rear wheels and tow the
motorhome from the front.
NOTE:
The towing company may need to locate the air nipple to release the emergency brake.
The air nipple should be used by towing personnel only.
• The drive shaft must be removed to prevent damage to the transmission. Secure end
caps to prevent losing or contaminating the needle bearings.
• The mud flap may need to be removed to prevent damage due to limited ground clear-
ance.
WARNING:
In case the motorhome requires towing, ensure all precautions are followed. The
drive shaft must be disconnected and the mud flap may need to be removed. The man-
ufacturer WILL NOT cover damage to the motorhome caused by a towing company.
