Check operation of all exterior
lights, headlamp, taillamp, brake and
clearance lights.
Secure all awning travel locks.
Ensure jack pad is clear of debris when
retracting hydraulic jacks. Loose rocks,
gravel and debris can be thrown from the
jack pad and can possibly damage the
tow car.
Secure and lock the entry door for travel.
Pull forward out of the campsite.
Ensure the site is clean and no items
are forgotten.
EMERGENCY ROADSIDE PROCEDURES
If an emergency situation occurs use the
appropriate braking technique and pull off
the roadway a safe distance from traf c (if
possible). Set the parking brake and turn on
the hazard warning ashers, especially when
parked alongside traf c lanes. In the event of an
emergency stop due to a mechanical breakdown
or other motorhome related problems, contact
the manufacturer’s customer support or an
emergency service provider.
Road ares or re ective warning signs should
be displayed if the motorhome is on the side of
the road for any length of time. Guidelines for
placing warning triangles depend upon the road
characteristics and visibility. For example: The
standard placement is 10, 100 and 200 ft. from
the rear of the motorhome when on a divided
highway or one-way road. On a two-way road,
with traf c traveling both directions, the same
placement would also be required at the front
of the motorhome. Roads with curves and hills
may require the placement of the last/furthest
triangle to be 500 ft. behind the motorhome in
order to safely warn approaching traf c.
In Case of Flat Tire
In the event of a at tire, it
is recommended to call for
roadside assistance. The size
and weight of the motorhome
and its tires require proper
equipment to change the tire.
A professional service technician will have
the equipment and training needed to repair
or replace the tire. In the case of sudden tire
failure, avoid heavy braking. Hold the steering
wheel rmly and gradually decrease speed.
Slowly move to a safe off-road place, which
should be a rm level spot. Turn the ignition
OFF and turn the hazard asher system ON.
Save the old tire for possible warranty coverage.
Dead Chassis Battery
A weak or discharged battery will not supply
the amount of CCA (Cold Cranking Amps)
necessary to initiate the required voltage to start
the engine. If the engine fails to crank, or cranks
slowly due to a weak chassis battery, there are
electrical back-up systems in place that may
increase chassis battery voltage.
Battery Boost Switch:
The Battery Boost switch (located on the
driver’s console) engages a heavy-duty solenoid
to electrically connect the house batteries to the
engine battery in the event the engine will not
crank or cranks slowly. The solenoid is designed
for short-term high current intermittent use.
Engaging the boost solenoid for an extended
period will damage the solenoid.
