Setting Up Camp

 

Once positioned at the site

• Apply the parking brake if you have a motorhome (as a safety precaution, slideouts will not operate if the parking brake is not engaged).
• The ground is not always flat, so level your RV as necessary, using blocks or stabilizing jacks if your RV is equipped with them.
• Chock the wheels securely to keep the RV stable on the site.
• If you are in a towable RV, disconnect the unit from the tow vehicle and stabilize the trailer hitch.
• Manually pull the entry steps out or, if yours are electronic, turn the switch off so the steps stay out when the door is closed. (Don’t forget to turn the switch back on before leaving or to pull up your steps before driving away.)
• If you have slideouts, remove the travel locks or brace bars. Whenever you are operating slideouts, keep all windows closed for safety and have someone on the outside watch for people, clearance and obstacles in its path.
