your house.

TOW VEHICLE DISCLAIMER
• As a minimum requirement, the towing capacity of your tow vehicle MUST be greater than the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) of your RV.
Contact your automotive dealer to confirm the towing capacity of your vehicle, whether you are buying a new tow
vehicle, or will tow your RV with one that you already own. Discuss the GVWR, size and type of RV that you will be
towing. If you pan to purchase a new vehicle, some trucks can be purchased with an optional tow package.
Some automotive manufacturers publish brochures that discuss towing considerations. Ask your automotive dealer
how to obtain a copy of this information. Verify that the weight ratings listed in the brochure are for your exact vehi-
cle, ie, the correct year, model, engine, transmission, suspension and any relevant options.
Vehicle Labels
Decals and data pates used throughout the RV aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give service instructions.
Read all decals, data and instruction pates before operating your RV. If any decal, data or instruction pate is painted
over, damaged or removed, it should be repaced.
