Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
Adjust the equalizing bars of the hitch assembly so that the tow vehicle and the trailer are
essentially level. A high hitch will transfer weight behind the axles and cause the vehicle to
fishtail. A low hitch will transfer additional weight to the hitch. Refer to the hitch manufac
-
turer instructions to adjust the weight-distributing hitch to the proper height.
If you have additional questions, consult with your dealer. Make certain your Dealer is
aware of the tow vehicle you are using so a compatible hookup is achieved. Depending on
the model, your required travel trailer hitch ball diameter is either 2” or 2-5/16” (consult
your dealer for assistance).
Travel Trailer Hitching Procedure
The following procedure will help to assist you in securely hooking up your recreation ve-
hicle to your tow vehicle.
1. Make sure the trailer wheels are blocked.
2. Turn the tongue jack crank to raise the travel trailer tongue above the hitch ball.
3. Open the coupler latch on the travel trailer hitch.
4. Back the tow vehicle into the proper position.
5. Turn the tongue jack crank to lower the coupler onto the hitch ball.
6. Close the coupler latch after it is completely seated.
7. Install the (customer supplied) weight distributing bars (equalizers) as directed by the
OEM.
8. Remove the dolly wheel or platform and retract the tongue jack to its maximum height.
9. Attach the breakaway switch cable to the tow vehicle.
10. Attach the safety chains.
11. Plug in your wire harness/connector plug from the tow vehicle to the travel trailer.
12. Walk around the RV to verify exterior lights are working correctly.
13. Remove the trailer wheel blocks.
Travel Trailer Weight Distributing System (customer supplied)
This system provides a more stable tow vehicle/RV combination. It will distribute the
weight evenly to the tow vehicle front and rear axles and the trailer axle. Consult with your
dealer for information on requirements and operation of this system. Be certain your tow
vehicle can carry the hitch weight.
Travel Trailer Sway Control (customer supplied)
Sway control devices are available to reduce the sway produced by crosswinds, air displace-
ment caused by other vehicles passing you in transit, incorrect weight distribution, excessive
speed, the RV tires dropping onto the shoulder of the road, etc. The use of sway control will
help to control the side-to-side movement and keep sway in check. Consult your dealer for
additional information.
Suggestions for sway situations:
Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator.
Turn the steering wheel as little as possible. Natural lag time reaction when coun-
ter-steering to correct sway could possibly make it worse.
NOTE:
If using a brake actuator, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for detailed and important hitching and safety information.
