MOTORHOME
8 EMERGENCIES
WHILE DRIVING
The Triple E Motorhome is designed with features
that allow the driver/occupants to resolve emergen-
cies or failures when travelling. Review this section
to be familiar with the recommended procedure to
resolve these conditions or situations. Review this
section with all new drivers and before each trip.
8.1 HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
Each motorhome is designed with a hazard warning
light system that is similar to the system on an
automobile. Both the front and rear turn signals
flash in unison when the system is turned on.
Refer to the chassis manual for details and location
of this switch.
It is recommended that the warning lights be used
whenever the vehicle is stopped on the side of the
roadway. The intermittent flashing lights will alert
other motorists to a potential hazard and to take
extra care. The system is designed to continue to
flash when the switch is on even though the ignition
key is removed and you have left the vehicle.
8.2 FLAT TIRE
When you have a flat tire while driving, slow down
the vehicle gradually and pull off to the side of the
road. Stop on a level firm surface and engage
parking brake. Turn on hazard warning lights to alert
other drivers to use extra caution when driving in the
vicinity.
SPARE TIRE
It is recommended that a professional qualified road
service be used whenever possible. If this is not
possible, follow the instructions in the chassis
manual. Refer to chassis manual for instructions on
where to place jack under the frame. Review and
follow all safety precuations listed.
Remove spare tire from its storage position.
Be sure the lug nuts are tightened to their specified
torque. Always use an accurate torque wrench
when mounting the wheel. Check the torque and re-
tighten after 25 and 100 driving miles. Check the
torque at each oil change.
Safety Reminders:
1. Park the motorhome on a level surface.
2. Turn off the engine and set the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Block both front and back of the tire on the
opposite side of the vehicle from the flat tire.
5. If the ground is soft, use a support board under
the jack to keep the jack from sinking.
6. Make sure to use only the jacking points
described in your chassis owner's manual.
7. Never get any part of your body under the
vehicle while jacking or while it is suspended.
