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 perform 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 extensive 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 pre-wired
from the factory with an electrical
connection for towing, located on or
near the hitch receiver. Convoluted
tubing protects the tow harness
wires. Current draw should not
exceed ten amps for each designated
light circuit. Within the electrical
connection is a positive terminal
for use when towing a trailer
equipped with a battery. The posi-
tive terminal maintains the charge
of the trailer battery.
