Owner’s Manual

www.jayco.com

IWARNING: Read all instructions in this manual and component

manufacturer supplied information before using your RV.

This manual has been provided by Jayco, Inc. for the sole purpose of providing instructions

concerning the operation and maintenance of this vehicle and its components. Nothing in

this manual creates any warranty, either expressed or implied. The only warranty offered

by Jayco, Inc. is as set forth in the limited warranty applicable to this vehicle.

The owner’s failure to provide required service and/or maintenance could result in the loss

of warranty. The owner should review Jayco’s limited warranty and the limited warranties

that apply to specific components that are offered with this vehicle.

Instructions are included in the manual for operating various components which are

optional on some vehicles. In addition, the owner should refer to individual

manufacturer’s operating instructions contained in the owner’s packet.

IWARNING:

VReview the compatibility of your tow vehicle with the trailer you will be

towing. You, as the owner, are responsible for the safety and

compatibility of your tow vehicle and trailer selections.

VYou must not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the

trailer. Include all additions, cargo and tank fluids when calculating

the weight of your trailer.

VDo not exceed the towing or cargo capacity of your tow vehicle. You

must clearly understand how your tow vehicle’s capacities are

calculated.

VDo not load your trailer so that it is unbalanced from front to rear or

from side to side.

VKnow your loaded hitch weight and select a hitch that is adequate for

that weight. Consult your hitch and tow vehicle manufacturers with

any questions before you tow your trailer.

VYou are responsible for the maintenance of your tow vehicle and trailer.

Make sure your tow vehicle is mechanically sound for your intended

usage. Pay particular attention to suspension components, tires and tire

pressure.

VWe recommend the use of sway control devices and weight distributing

hitches with all Jayco towable products (excluding fifth-wheels, which

use a different type of hitch).

VObey all traffic laws and use your seatbelts at all times. Many states

have lower speed limit requirements for tow vehicle/trailer

combinations. We recommend that you do not exceed 55 MPH when

towing a trailer.

Consult an expert for specific driver education when towing a trailer. There are private RV

driving schools, and some RV clubs, which offer driving seminars as part of their club

activities. Recreation vehicle publications and the Internet can be a source of information

regarding RV driver education, as well as many other topics to help you learn to safely use

your recreation vehicle.
