TOWING THE SHOWMOBILE
IMPORTANT: Moving your Showmobile from one
location to another is like moving any large house trailer.
Because of the size and weight of the unit, use a tow
vehicle that has adequate towing capacity and is suitably
equipped to tow a trailer of this size.
CONNECTING THE TOWING VEHICLE
1. Tie-downs are located along the stage floor inside the
Showmobile. Locate cargo near tie-downs, and securely
tighten the tie-down straps which are provided. Place
cargo forward of axles to improve trailer handling.
2. Be sure that the hitch on the towing vehicle is at the
correct height so the Showmobile will be level front-to-
rear (as measured on a level surface) when towed.
3. Use the hitch jack to raise the front of the Showmobile.
Back the towing vehicle under the hitch, and
secure the hitch to the towing vehicle.
4. Attach the 12-volt electrical supply cord to the towing
vehicle, to operate the stop, turn, marker, clearance,
and license-plate lights, and electrical brakes.
5. Attach the breakaway cable to the towing vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Never disconnect the breakaway cable
by pulling the pin out of the switch on the
Showmobile. If the pin is pulled from the switch, the
Showmobile brakes are activated and will drain the
battery within two hours.
6. Fully raise the Showmobile hitch jack.
7. Attach the safety chains from the towing vehicle
to the Showmobile.
8. Be sure that the Showmobile end panels are
secured in their closed positions and that all
storage and control compartment doors are locked.
9. Tongue weight as measured on a certified scale
should be at least 10–15% of the GVW.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS WHILE TOWING
• Never tow the unit when there are strong cross winds.
• Always slow down sufficiently before cornering with the
Showmobile.
• Always provide adequate clearance for the corner jacks
when towing. Because of the extreme length of the
Showmobile, extreme changes in ground level can
cause its stabilizing jacks to drag: use appropriate
maneuvering to avoid this.
• Never back the Showmobile over curbs.
• Always tow Showmobile “level” or parallel to roadway.
• Always place cargo forward of axles to improve trailer
handling.
