| TOWING YOUR AIRSTREAM |
| Note: If you’re tow vehicle is equipped with adjustable load leveling air shocks, you |
| must load the tow vehicle first with typical luggage and passengers and bring it back |
B | to level. Then attach the trailer and adjust the load leveling bars. Otherwise the air |
shocks on the tow vehicle will overload the rear wheels. Do not use air shocks to | |
level tow vehicle and trailer after hitching up. | |
| Note: Leveling the trailer end to end, then measuring from the ground to the inside top |
| of the ball socket determines hitch ball height for the tow vehicle |
Attach the safety chains (see figure 7) to the welded portion of the hitch or tow vehicle’s frame, but never to the removable ball mount. Cross the safety chains under the hitch.
CAUTION: retract the hitch jack completely for maximum ground clearance.
Remove the jack pad and stow it safely. Check the stabilizing jack sand stow other gear used when stopped. NEVER TOW YOUR TRAILER WITH THE JACK DOWN. Check that the foldaway step is up and that the main door is completely closed and LOCKED for towing. If it is not locked, the constant vibration of travel may cause the door to open with possible damage.
Move the rig ahead about 50 feet and test the trailer brakes, then check the ground for forgotten objects. Regularly check the condition of your tires, air pressure, and the tightness of your lug nuts.
NOTICE! CHECK WHEEL LUGS
On first trip, tighten wheel lugs at start and at 10, 25, and 50 miles. Tighten to manufacturer’s specification.
There after, check wheel lugs before each trip, after excessive braking, and following winter storage.
