• Page 10 If you are going on a long trip, take a “shakedown cruise” of a few miles the weekend before you leave. This will test your load, safety equipment, hitch, and might reveal things you missed or forgot. By getting everything in order before you leave home, you can prevent delays and annoyances that could take the fun out of your trip.
• Page 11 The following defi nitions have been provided for reference: Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) means the value specifi ed by the vehicle manufactur- er as the load-carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire / ground interfaces.
• Page 12 8. Avoid towing with waste holding tank(s) full or partially full. If unavoidable, drive slowly until one or both tanks can be dumped. 9. Keep water tank either completely full or empty when towing to avoid the shifting of weight of a partially fi lled tank. For Fifth Wheel Travel Trailers 1.
• Page 13 • Always keep tools and equipment stored in areas where they will not shift while traveling. • Wherever possible, place heavy articles in storage compartments which are low and near the axles for better weight distribution. • Pack articles carefully in the storage compartments to minimize shifting. If nec- essary, use straps to prevent movement.

• Page 25 If side-to-side leveling is required, dig a shallow hole under the tire(s) on the high side, or make a step leveling ramp using 1" x 6" or 2" x 6" boards of varying lengths. Pull forward or back onto the leveling ramp until the tire(s) on the low side are level. If front-to-back leveling is required, unhitch the trailer from the tow vehicle, install the jack pad and crank or run the front jack down.

• Page 28 Prepare a chlorine solution using one gallon of water and one-quarter cup of house- hold bleach (fi ve percent sodium hypochlorite solution). Pour one gallon of solution into the tank for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. The tank capacity equals the capac- ity of the fresh water tanks plus the water heater capacity.
