Winter and Cold Climate Conditions:
• The motorhome should be prepared for Cold Weather Use.
• Keep speeds slow and steady, make moves gradually and
increase your visual distance for a gain in reaction time.
• If the road or weather conditions are treacherous, find a safe
stopping place and wait for conditions to improve.
• Avoid using engine retarding devices on wet or slippery sur-
faces, they can cause the drive wheels to skid.
• Wipers should be in good condition and the washer reservoir
should have sufficient window wash fluid that has an
antifreeze included within it.
• Use the mirror heat to keep the mirrors clear.
• Remove any ice build-up from the entry step to avoid any
accidental slipping.
Wet Conditions:
• The risk of hydroplaning is increased if tires are worn or
improperly inflated.
• Be aware that heavy rain or deep standing water can affect
brake application causing them to apply unevenly or grab.
Refueling:
• Truck stops are good refueling points for motorhomes.
• Be aware of which side the fuel port is on. There may not be
adequate space to move around the parking lot in order to
reposition for the pump.
• Check overhead clearance heights before pulling through the
fuel island.
• Be aware of the concrete/steel posts installed around the fuel
island.
• Avoid running over the fuel hose, it can get hung up on the
motorhome, causing body damage.
WARNING: Avoid the risk of fire or explosion. Turn
off all pilot lights and appliances before refueling.
