HECKLIST

Before leaving or returning home, it is critical that you complete the necessary
procedures to ensure a safe trip. As you develop a routine, it is possible that a
checklist will be helpful. This is a general list, which you may want to customize as
you determine your own needs.



Make sure you follow all safety precautions noted in this owner’s manual and

in any manufacturer’s operators manual when preparing to travel.



Check the area under the RV after overnight parking and look for water or
other fluid leaks. If leaks are detected, find the cause and correct it
immediately.



Make sure all fluids are at proper levels. Check the engine oil, transmission
fluid, engine coolant, power steering fluid and wind shield washer fluid.



Check the fuel gauge and lights on the motor home. Have someone observe
the operation of all exterior lights while you activate the controls. Check the
turn signal and high beam indicators on the instrument panel.



Examine the tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check
for stones, nails, glass or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread
cuts or sidewall cracks.



Check wheel lug nuts for tightness and tires for proper air inflation pressure.



Check the propane cylinder gauge to make sure there is propane available.
