CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION TO WNERSHI
Welcome to the world of recreational vehicle travel. Your purchase
of a Jayco
R.V. allows you to enter this unique world of camping
and leisure in a grand style. Your Jayco
R.V. has been designed
and engineered to offer you many comforts of home that
will make
your camping experience as enjoyable as possible.
This owner's manual was prepared to assist you in understanding
the proper use and operation of various containment systems,
servicing and maintenance of component parts, and explanation of
your warranty protection. If you are a newcomer to
R.V. travel,
you will especially appreciate the suggestions and "shop talk"
information to be found throughout this manual to help you obtain
the most pleasure from the use of your vehicle.
We have made every effort to
make this manual as accurate as
possible
in order to reflect information available at time of
publication. Products are constantly being improved and we
endeavor
to upgrade our installations accordingly. You should
carefully read and understand this owner's manual which is a
supplement to various other instructions supplied
by the manufac-
turers of separately warranted products.
Keep this owner's manual in your recreational vehicle for handy
reference.
Get to know your new vehicle and how it operates. You
should carefully read and understand these instructions and
information supplied by manufacturers
of separately warranted
products, since they contain important operating, safety, and
maintenance instructions.
Every effort has been
made to provide you with a safe, dependable
product. Your vehicle complies with applicable requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, State Regulations,
Canadian Standards Associations (CSA) where applicable, and
complies with requirements of ANSI Standard A119.2, the
nationally recognized "Standard For Recreational Vehicles
-
installation of Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Systems." The
Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) periodically inspect our production
line and assist us in maintaining strict cornpIiance with installation
and safety standards for those systems. Your follow-up with
periodic safety inspections and a program of preventive mainten-
ance is important
for the continuation of safe and trouble-free
operation.
Happy Camping!

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY IN USING L.P. GAS
You should check for leaks at the connections on the L.P.-gas
system soon after purchase and initial filling of E.P.-tanks, and
continued periodic checks of the system are recommended. Your
vehicle was manufactured to provide you with full access to
all
gas line connections. Leaks can be found with a soapy water
solution applied to the outside of the gas piping connections: the
soap will bubble at the leak.
DO NOT USE FLAMIE: OR LIGHTED
TCHES TO TEST FOR LEAKS. Usually tightening of
connections will
close leaks. If not, ask your authorized dealer
service department to make the necessary repairs.
EVEN
THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE
ALREADY MADE TESTS FOR LEAKAGE, THIS CHECK IS
ADVlSABLE BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION ENCOUNTERED
DURING TRAVEL.
E.P.-gas is heavier than air. Leaking
gas tends to flow to low
places.
It will sometimes pocket in a low area. L.P.-gas can
usually be detected by an identifiable odor similar
to onions or
garlic. Never light
a match or allow any open flame in the
presence
of leaking gas.
It is very important to have L.P.-gas shut off during refueling of
tow vehicles. Some states prohibit gas appliances to be operated
during travel, especially in any underground tunnels.
Never allow gas containers to be filled above the liquid capacity
indicated on the container.
If a container is overfilled, liquid gas
may flow through the regulator causing it to freeze and/or
introduce a dangerous excessive gas pressure into the lines. In
addition, an overfilled container placed in hot sunlight
may expel
excess gas through the relief valve and be susceptible to ignition
by any nearby open flame.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits
from overloading. Do not make unauthorized changes to circuitry
or
add on fixed appliance yourself. If you wish changes, consult
your dealer
and he will assist you in obtaining a safe installation.
An approved power supply cord has been supplied with the
vehicle. Always use this cord for hook-up to the 120-volt source.
Note that the cord has
a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round)pin,

Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock. Do
not use any adapter, cheater, or extension cord that will break the
continuity of the grounding circuit connected to that third pin.
NEVER remove the grounding pin for convenience of being able to
connectto
a non-ground (only2-prong) receptacle. Check the polarity
of your power source.
SAFETY WHEN EMERGENCY STOPPING
Always carry road flares and/or reflective triangular highway
warning devices to be displayed when necessary. Pull
off the
roadway as far as possible when changing fiats or for other
emergency situations. Turn on your vehicular hazard warning
flashers when parked alongside a roadway, if only
for a minute or
two.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1. Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see
saniti~inginstructions).
2. Keep water connection fittings from coning in contact with the
ground or drain hose to reduce chance of contamination.
3. Enlist services of a qualified technician to fix gas or electrical
appliances.
4. Al~ayshave a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily
accessible
location.
5. Piease read carefully the loading section under Chapter If1
related to your respective trailer.
b. Insure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated.
Watch inflation especiaily closely
- under-inflated tires wiH
overheat. Overheated tires are a potential hazard as they may
throw rubber and cause a blowout.
7. Check and tighten wheel lugs regularly (every 50 miles when
new until
200 miles are reached and then check lugs every 500
miles).
8. Check brakes in a safe area - not while traveling a busy
highway.
9. Use seat belts (motor homes) at all times.
10. Disconnect television power cord and antenna lead-in during
local thunderstorms and lightning activity.
11. Always solidly block trailer wheels before unhitching.
12. Before leaving a camp area with a traiier in tow, insure that
the safety pin or locking lever is seated, breakaway wire
is
attached to tow vehicle, the jack is raised so that
it cannot
touch theground, the
dolly wheel removed, 110-volt electrical cord
properly stored, safety chains are connected, andall interior lights
off.
13. Observe the warning labels attached to your vehicle concerning
L.P.-gas, water, electricity, and loading.
14. Observe the maintenance chart in Chapter VH related to your
respective unit.

INSURANCE
As with your automobile, it is important that you protect yourself
and others with insurance coverages for personal liability, theft,
collision, property damage, etc. Your dealer will assist you in
obtaining appropriate insurance for your protection or you may
check with the company which provides your automobile insurance.
I
CONTWOUS LIVING IN YOUR JAYCO VEHICLE COULD
CAUSE ADVERSECONI)ITIONS.
Y~ur new Jayco produced B.V. has been built for enjoyment in a
recreational manner. While it was not intended to be used
as living
quarters, it can
be by making some special provisions and
understanding potential problems.
I. If wed in northern states or Canada in the winter, more
insulation is desired especially below floor level or as skirting.
2.
Proper care needs to be observed in the fresh water and drainage
systems to avoid freezing problems.
3. Adequate gas and electrical supply is needed along with
protection from possible freeze-upson gasregulator.
4. A special heavy-duty furnace rated at 40,000 BTU's and 110 voIt
motor is available: (a)there
will be additional cost, (b) providing
it will fit into the heater compartment, and (c) it must be ordered
prior
to building of unit.
5. If more than one person occupies the coach, ventilation or
addition of a dehumidifier may be required to reduce possible
condensation. Seethesection regarding thispossible problem as
"fol~ows:
Condensation is
the result of warm, moist air coming in contact
with cool surfacessuch aswindows and aluminum framing. Upon
contact of these cool surfaces, the warm air loses
its ability to
hold its moisture. These beads
or drops of moisture will remain
on the cool surfacesas moisture and it will begin to run down
the
windows. Weep holes are provided in the lower threshold of the
window to drain thewater.

THE SAFETY CHAIN
There are different safety chain requirements by the various states.
As delivered by your dealer, your vehicle is equipped with chains
to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross trailer
weight. AIways have the safety chain (s) attached when towing.
Install
them in a manner so they do not restrict sharp turns of the
tow vehicle-trailer combination, but
tight enough so they do not
drag on the road.

NEVER attempttoraise thetrailer by placing a jack under the axle. If
lifting the trailer by this method may alter the camber in the axle
causing permanent damage.

WHEEL LUGS
When the wheels are installed on your Jayco the lug bolts must be
tightened at
85-95 foot pounds of torque. Because of the possibilities
that these wheel lugs could work loose, it
is recommended that you
check your wheellugs after the
first 50 and 200 miles. After your first
trip, check the wheel lugs periodically for safety. The wheel lugs
should then be checked afterwhter storage, before starting a trip, or
following extensive braking. Over-tightening can distort wheel.
Please observe above recommendations.
The tires of all Jayco units are supplied by companies with the
recreational vehicle in mind and
are tested at turnpike speeds.
They are made with nylon cord designed to offer strength and
extra mileage
in all kinds of weather.
The air pressure should be kept at its recommended pressure.
Always check
the tires when they are cold such as before traveling
at the beginning of the day.
DO NOT release air pressure as tires
become hot.
If you do, the tires will then be under inflated when
they cool down. It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked
at the beginning of each journey to obtain the maximum
life of the tires.

RAKES
Several models of fold down units have hydraulic surge brakes as
standard and others are optional. (See specification chart.) These
brakes operate automaticalty
as. the tow vehicle's brakes are
applied. As the car or tow vehicle begins to slow down, the trailer
will push towards tbe car. The coupling mechanism at the hitch
contains a brake "pressure plate."
AS the unit continues to press
forward, the pressure pIate becomes depressed, which activates
the brakes.

BRAKES (ELECTRICAL) (OPTIONAL)
The brakes on your new unit are electric and are integrated into
your brake system of your truck or car
in such a way that equal.
braking power is distributed lo both trailer and towing vehicle.
Explained below are several components that make up the brake
system.
First of all, the battery of your truck or car is used as the primary
source of power. No special source of power is required. From the
battery, the power is taken to the controller which will be
assembled under the dashboard of your truck or car.
In open
positions, it breaks the electrical circuit, so no current reaches the
brakes. When depressed
by hand or by hydraulic pressure (foot
pedal) the variable resister controls the amount of current which in
turn varies the braking of your trailer.
Although it
is possible to operate the controller by hand, it is
designed
to operate automatically when the car's brakes are
applied.
A line for hydraulic fluid from the controller to the master
cylinder allows the accelerator bar and coil to make contact when
the foot pedal
is depressed which in turn sends the current to the
brakes. To obtain equality between your car or truck and your
Jayco trailer, a front mounted knob on the controller can be turned
for more or less braking effort.
The last item in the braking system is tbe brakes themselves. The
brakes are wired in parallel, never in series. Parallel wiring
provides each brake with its own individual power supply to
give
you assurance of safety and protection.
BACKING YOUR TRAILER (HYDRAULIC)
Your brake system may be designed to operate with hydraulic
surge brakes. This means that the back-up braking
is only 10% of
the effectiveness of the forward braking. All backing must be done
slowly, however, so not to fully engage the brakes.
If difficulty is experienced in backing, have a qualified mechanic
check the brakes
at the first opportunity. UNDER NO CIRCUM-
STANCES SHOULD ANY ATTEMPT BE MADE TO BLOCK OUT
OR JAM THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM.
