Operating instructions

• You CANNOT increase the towed weight
limit by changing the size of your hitch.
• Properly load what you tow to avoid a
vehicle crash.
• Do not attempt to tow something that is
too heavy for your chassis.
• When driving in mountainous areas,
look for and obey highway signs con-
cerning grades and curves. Your driving
experience when pulling and stopping a
towed unit on mountain roads will be very
different from what you experience on
level ground.
• State laws in the United States and provin-
cial laws in Canada vary concerning towing
requirements and limits. Check the laws in
the areas where you anticipate traveling.
Alterations to Your Motor Home
Many motor home owners like to add a
personal touch to their motor home. But
there is a difference between changing how
your motor home looks versus how it
handles or responds to driver inputs.
If you
expect to make any type
of alteration to
your motor home, consult a professional
who understands the correct way to do the
alteration and how the alteration
wiII
change or affect the stability, handling,
vehicle response, and overall performance
and safety
of your motor home.
Introduction
All improper alteration that affects vehicle
handling or response can cause a vehicle
crash,
and any improper alteration to the
electrical or
LP gas systems call cause a
fire and can endanger your motor
hOllle
and its occupants. Fleetwood, your chassis
and other manufacturers stand behind the
motor home
as delivered - NOT as altered
by someone else.
Warning Devices
Your motor home is equipped with warning
devices. Check them before a trip for
proper operation. A disabled warning
device cannot warn you or vehicle
occu-
pants of a life-threatening danger. Keep
them working and respond to them quickly.
Examples
of These Devices Include:
• Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm
• LPG Detector/Alarm
