PLANNING
AND
PREPARATION
Each
year millions
of
Americans embark on trips
using some type
of
recreational vehicle. Proper plan-
ning of
your

will
ensure a pleasurable experience.

of
your
RV
is important
if
you

are
going to get the most out of the convenience and
safety items built into your vehicle.
Be
as
familiar with
it
as
you
are
with your personal car or truck. The
booklets included in your
Owner's

Package cover details
of
operation for the major ap-
pliances and equipment built into your motor home
for your comfort. convenience and safety. Later sec-
tions in this manual will also explain

systems in your motor home.
LOADING AND WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Proper loading is one of the most important con-
siderations when traveling
in
an
RV.
Your
motor home
is built
to
safely carry a certain maximum load.
For
safety's
sake,
NEVER
OVERLOAD
THE
MOTOR
HOME.
This manual contains a detailed section
that
explains
proper loading and weighing of the vehicle.
HAVE
IT
ALL UNDER CONTROL
Remember. your new motor home is a large vehi-
cle and requires different driving skills than a
passenger
car.
Later in this manual we'lI outline some
tips on
how
to
become familiar
with
the handling
characteristics and driving techniques
that
you need
to
know
to
be
a safe motor home driver.
Of
course,
don't
overlook the laws of your state or province
that
govern driving a
motor
home.
Your
state or provincial
Motor
Vehicle Department can provide.you
with
the
. :applicable vehicle codes that spell
out
your rights.and
