Setting Up Your Recreation Vehicle
Position the RV as desired.
Level the RV (side-to-side). Leveling your recreation vehicle is important as the water
drainage systems are designed with proper slope and must be level for proper opera-
tion, and the appliances perform best when level.
Block the wheels securely to prevent the RV from moving.
1. Unhook the wire harness/connector plug, safety chains and breakaway switch lanyard.
2. Install the dolly wheel or platform.
3. Release the weight distributing bars (customer supplied).
4. Open the tongue jack coupler latch.
5. Turn the tongue jack crank to raise the coupler above the hitch ball.
6. Level the RV (front-to-back) with the tongue jack crank.
7. lower stabilizer jacks (If applicable).
8. Pull the tow vehicle away, as desired.
1. Drop the landing gear (important!) See the operator’s manual for proper operation.
2. Disconnect the wire harness/connector plug and breakaway switch lanyard.
3. Drop the truck tailgate (if applicable).
4. Gently put your truck into reverse (don’t give it any fuel/acceleration). This eectively
moves the kingpin o the locking bar that will allow you to disengage it.
5. Step on brake and apply parking brake.
6. Disengage the locking bar and unhitch.
7. Drive away.
8. Adjust the fth-wheel height for proper front to back leveling of the RV.
Cargo Ramp Door
Select a site for unloading that will provide a level/at surface for the ramp door to rest on.
Make sure the RV wheels are blocked to prevent the trailer from moving. Make sure there
are no people, pets or equipment in the way when opening the ramp door.
1. Lessen the transition angle between the rear of the cargo oor and the cargo door ramp
by using the tongue jack to raise the front of the trailer. To prevent damage to the ramp
door and extension ramp this should be done prior to lowering the cargo ramp door.
2. Unlock the Tailgater Kitchen (if equipped) and swing it away from the rear ramp door.
3. Unlock the exterior vise latches securing the bar latch handles.
Do not load or unload your RV without rst blocking all wheels to pre-
vent trailer movement. Movement during loading or unloading may
cause the cargo ramp door to shift and tongue jack to bend. Failure to
properly block wheels may result in property damage or serious injury.
Do not sleep in the cargo bay area while internal combustion engines are
being operated, stored or transported in the RV. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury or death.
