This recreation vehicle is not intended for use as a full-time residence or for commercial use. Commercial use means using the RV as a business asset such as a mobile office or using the RV for lease or rental purposes.

Jayco reserves the right to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation whatsoever. RV’s built for sale in Canada may differ to conform to Canadian Codes.

1-3

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 1–WARRANTY & SERVICE

As the owner of the RV, you are responsible for regular and proper maintenance performed in accordance with this manual and the OEM manuals. Regular and proper maintenance will help prevent conditions arising from neglect that are not covered by warranty. It is your responsibility and obligation to return your RV to your dealer for warranty service repair.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

At the time of sale of the new RV, your Jayco dealer is expected to:

 Deliver your RV in the best condition possible. Your RV must pass the  dealer’s pre-delivery inspection (PDI), including all systems tests.  Provide orientation of the RV, its systems, components and operation.  Request that you read all warranty information and explain any provision not c learly

understood.

 Ensure you receive the Warranty Packet. Your dealer can assist you in completing the

OEM warranty cards or registrations, and locate any required component model or serial numbers.

 Complete and return the “Warranty Registration and Customer Delivery Form” to

Jayco within 10 days of delivery to activate the applicable warranty coverage.

The Limited Warranty is activated only after Jayco receives a signed and dated “Warranty Registration and Customer Delivery Form” from your dealer.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING SERVICE

To help ensure your dealer provides the level of service you expect, here are some suggestions we would like to make:

Contact your dealer at once… Do not wait until you are ready to use your RV. Your dealer may not be able to service it immediately and/or the repair may require parts be ordered. The dealer’s service department is busiest on Mondays, Fridays and before the holidays.

Prepare for the appointment… If you are having warranty work performed, be sure to have the right papers with you. Take your warranty folder and have your vehicle information available. All work to be performed may not be covered by the warranty. Discuss additional charges with the service personnel.

Prepare a list… Provide your dealer with a written list of specific repairs needed. It is important that you provide any vehicle repair history to the dealer’s service personnel.

Keep a maintenance log of your vehicle’s service history. This can often provide a clue to the current issue.

Be reasonable with your requests… If you leave a list with several items and you need your vehicle returned back by a specific time, discuss the situation with the dealer’s service personnel and list your items in order of priority. This may include making a second appointment for work not completed or parts that the dealer may need to order.

1-4

SECTION 1–WARRANTY & SERVICE JAYCO TOWABLE

Don’t expect to look over the technician’s shoulder… Please don’t be offended if you are told you cannot watch the work being done. Some insurance requirements forbid admission of customers to the service area.

Inspect the work performed… Finally, check out the service or repair job when you pick up your vehicle. Notify the dealer’s service personnel immediately of any dissatisfaction. If you can’t return the vehicle immediately for repair, make an appointment as soon as possible.

Please be aware that all service shops require notification of any issues with their repairs within a specified time limit. Make sure you are familiar with their repair policies.

CUSTOMER RELATIONS

Jayco has empowered its dealers to make warranty and repair decisions. If a special circumstance occurs that requires information from Jayco, we have asked your dealer’s service management to make the contact on your behalf. This is why you should always

talk to your dealer’s service management first.

TOWABLE LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED

The Jayco warranty covers this recreational vehicle (“RV”), when used only for its intended purpose of recreational travel and camping, for two (2) years. It covers RV’s that are sold in, and remain in, the United States, U.S. Territories and Canada, only. The warranty period begins on the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser by an independent, authorized dealer of Jayco, or, if the dea ler places the vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in such service. In the event that a substantial defect in material or workmanship, attributable to Jayco, is found to exist during the warranty period, it will be repaired or replaced, at Jayco’s option, without charge to the RV owner, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this limited warranty.

This limited warranty applies to the first consumer purchaser only. All rights and limitations within this warranty are applicable to the original owner of the RV only. Jayco’s limited warranty only covers substantial defects in materials, components, or parts of the RV attributable to Jayco. It does not replace, modify, or apply to the warranties provided by the manufacturers that supply the products used by Jayco to assemble the RV, like the frame. You may contact an independent, authorized dealer for details.

Jayco’s obligation to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship is the sole obligation of Jayco under this limited warranty. Jayco reserves the right to use new or remanufactured parts of similar quality to complete any work, and to make parts and design changes from time to time without notice to anyone. Jayco reserves the right to make changes in the design or material of its products without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously manufactured. Jayco makes no warranty as to the future performance of this RV, and this limited warranty is not intended to extend to the future performance of this RV, or any of its materials, components or parts. In addition, the RV owner’s obligation to notify Jayco, or one of its independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not modify any obligation placed on the RV owner to contact Jayco directly when attempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.

and electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.

Refer to the following sections for additional fire safety information.

 Electrical Systems, In case of an electrical fire.  Appliances, In case of a grease fire.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire type, A, B and C. These classifications identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to fight.

Class A - Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics. Class B - Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other flammable

liquids.

Class C - Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment. A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed by the entrance door. It is suitable for

extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only. We suggest you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on

the side of the fire extinguisher.

SMOKE ALARM

Some of the most common fire safety issues are burning candles, smoking in bed, leaving children unattended and cleaning with flammable fluids. The smoke detector is intended to help reduce those risks.

Your vehicle is equipped with a smoke alarm that is listed for use in Recreation Vehicles. They are not fool proof. Smoke alarms only work if they are operational and maintained.

Be sure to read, understand and follow the user information provided from the manufacturer of the smoke alarm, including information regarding the limited life of smoke alarms.

Please be aware the smoke alarm cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach it. Anything preventing smoke from reaching the alarm may delay or prevent an alarm (i.e., a closed door may prevent smoke from reaching an alarm on the other side of the door, etc.).

There are instances when the smoke detector alarm may not be heard. Though the alarm horn in this detector meets or exceeds current UL standards, it may not be heard for many reasons. These include (but not limited to): a closed or partially closed door, the alarm may be drowned out by other noise like the TV, stereo, traffic, weather, air conditioner or other appliances.

Operation

The smoke alarm is operational once the battery is correctly installed. The LED light will indicate the battery is functioning properly. When the production of combustion is sensed, the smoke detector sounds a loud alarm that continues until the air is cleared. The LED light will also give a visual indication of a sounding alarm.

How to test

Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm when testing as the alarm horn may be harmful to your hearing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency. The test button will accurately test all functions. Never use an open flame from a match or lighter to test this smoke alarm.

A warning label is located near the smoke alarm Please do not remove the following label from your recreation vehicle:

WARNING

This smoke alarm will not alert hearing impaired resi dents. Special alarms

with flashing strobe lights are recommended for the hearing impaired

COMBINATION CARBON MONOXIDE/ PROPANE ALARM

Your RV is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO)/propane alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/ propane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.

The alarm is wired directly to the RV 12-volt electrical system, with continuous power being supplied by the RV battery. There is no 9-volt battery power supply in the carbon monoxide/propane alarm. If the battery cable is disconnected at the battery terminals, the combination alarm will not work.

Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer of the combination CO/propane alarm that has been supplied in your Warranty Packet. This includes information regarding the limited life of the alarm.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims are aware they are not feeling well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the vehicle or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected.

Your combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is designed to detect the toxic carbon monoxide fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A carbon monoxide/propane alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms.

WARNING

The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the household: Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often describe d as “flulike” symptoms). Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.

WARNING

The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.

Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm. Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices that provide

audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM. This alarm will only

indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.

Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide fumes rests

solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane alarm is just the first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide poisoning

2-4

SECTION 2-OCCUPANT SAFETY JAYCO TOWABLE

This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas.

Please note that there are hazards against which carbon monoxide detection may not be effective, such as natural gas leaks or explosions.

This alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon monoxide/propane gas, however there are other combustible fumes or vapors that may be detected by the sensor including (but not limited to ): acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline.

These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, colognes, perfumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the propellants of aerosol cans.

High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up a recreation vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be detected for months after the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer to Section 2, Formaldehyde).

What you should do if the alarm sounds

1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.

2. Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).

3. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or by an open door or window)

4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door or window until the

emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

If your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-4 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of carbon monoxide from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicle(s) are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the RV.

If problems are identified during this inspection, have the alarm serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about carbon monoxide safety and this alarm.

WARNING

Actuation of this detector indicates the presence of carbon monoxide which can kill

you.

WARNING

Never turn the 12-volt battery disconnect control to the off position and disconnect the battery cable to silence an alarm. The alarm will automatically sense when the level of carbon monoxide in the air reaches below dangerous levels. You should stay outside the vehicle in fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The sound produced by the alarm is loud because it is designed to wake a person in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be harmful to your hearing.

SECTION 2-OCCUPANT SAFETY JAYCO TOWABLE

The following label is located inside the vehicle near the entry door. The label should be left permanently affixed to the recreation vehicle:

EXTENDED OR FULL TIME USAGE

Your new recreation vehicle has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner. It is not intended for use as full-time quarters or a permanent residence. Continuous living in your vehicle could cause accelerated wear and damage to the various components.

COLD WEATHER USAGE

When used in freezing or below freezing temperatures, the following precautions need to be taken:

 Proper care should be taken with the fresh water and drainage systems to avoid

freeze-ups.

 Propane gas (if so equipped) and sufficient power is needed for protection from

possible freeze-ups on the propane gas regulator. Keep in mind that more frequent furnace operation will substantially increase battery draw and propane gas use.

 During cool weather usage, ventilation or addition of a dehumidifier may be required

to reduce condensation.

 Check outside extrusions on compartment doors, locks, slide outs, windows, vents,

etc., for frozen moisture before operating to avoid damage to parts.

CONDENSATION

Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with climate conditions, particularly the relative humidity.

CAUTION

Continuous or permanent living in your recreation vehicle may affect your warranty coverage and may void the “Limited Warranty” applicable to your vehicle.

WARNING

Condensation should be taken seriously. Ignoring it can damage the recreation vehicle (damage caused by condensation is not warrantable), and more importantly could lead to mold or mildew issues which could be a health hazard.

2-7

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 2-OCCUPANT SAFETY

To reduce condensation

Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) will assist in controlling condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers sized for RV use. Other suggestions are:

 Crack open windows and roof vents to allow warm moist air to escape.  When taking a shower open the bath roof vent (if so equipped) approximately ½”

allowing the moisture to escape.

 Use the range hood fan (if so equipped) when cooking or washing dishes.  Avoid hanging wet towels (or clothes) inside the RV to dry.  If condensation is found in cabinets or closets, open those doors slightly to equalize

the temperature and provide ventilation.

Uncontrolled condensation can cause dampness, mildew, etc., inside your RV. Be sure to make strong effort to control condensation. Repairs due to condensation are not covered under the terms of the Limited Warranty or the Extended Limited Warranty.

SECTION 3-PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATI ON JAYCO TOW ABLE

TOW VEHICLE

If you plan to tow your RV with a tow vehicle you already own, contact your automotive dealer to find out your vehicle towing capacity. If you plan to purchase a new tow vehicle, be certain to tell your automotive dealer the GVWR, size and type of RV that you will be towing (some tow vehicles can be purchased with an optional tow package). As a minimum requirement, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your RV must not exceed your tow vehicle’s towing rating.

Some automotive manufacturers publish brochures that discuss towing considerations. Ask your automotive dealer how to obtain a copy of this information. If applicable, verify if the brochure ratings are listed “with” or “without” an optional tow package.

VEHICLE LABELS

Decals and data plates used throughout the RV aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give service instructions.

Read all decals, data and instruction plates before operating your RV. If any decal, data or instruction plate is painted over, damaged or removed, it should be replaced.

Keep a record of the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN), the 8-digit serial number and your license number in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply this information to the authorities.

WEIGHT TERMS

GAWR - GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING – The value specified by the vehicle manufacturer as the load-carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tireto-ground interfaces. This is the total weight a given axle is capable of carrying.

GCWR - GROS S COMBINED WEIGHT RATING – The value specified by the trailer manufacturer as the maximum allowable loaded weight of the trailer including full propane cylinders, a full load of water, and full generator fuel if applicable.

GVWR - GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING – The value specified by the manufacturer as the maximum permissible weight of the fully loaded trailer.

OCCC - OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY - Is equa l to the GVWR of the trailer, minus the weight of the trailer (as completed at the factory) minus the weight of all personal cargo, and, if applicable, minus the weight of a full tank (or tanks) of propane and the full weight of potable water, including the water heater (if so equipped). Additions to or other changes made to the trailer after it left the factory will affect (reduce) the OCCC.

UVW - UNLOADED VEHICLE WEIGHT – The weight of the trailer as manufactured at the factory with the weight of a full tank (or tanks) of propane.

WARNING

The factory-installed weight labels are specific to the recreation vehicle for which they are supplied and are not interchangeable. Do not remove these labels from your RV. If labels are missing, contact your dealer or Jayco Customer Service for

replacements.

3-1

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 3-PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION

WEIGHT AND CAPACITY LABELS

There are 3 main types of labels that can be found on the exterior of the trailer, usually on the roadside front corner of the trailer. Labels at this location will be a Federal Certification label, an Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label, and a Tire and Loading Information label. An additional Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label is also located on the inward surface of the entry door.

OCCC Label (Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity)

This label is yellow in color and has two parts. The upper portion of this label is the maximum Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity that may be placed in or on the trailer as it was manufactured and weighed before leaving the factory. This maximum capacity would not include the weight of a full fresh water tank. The full load of water weight would need to be subtracted from the maximum cargo weight. Additions or other changes made to the trailer after it leaves the factory will affect (reduce) the OCCC.

The lower portion of this label indicates the weight value of the trailer as it was manufactured and weighed at the factory. It includes full propane tanks and full generator fuel (if so equipped).

You may question the total weight capacity of the tires on your RV being less than the GVWR; this is correct. In order to calculate the actual weight on the RV tires, do not include the tongue weight. The tongue weight is actually being carried by your tow vehicle, not the RV tires.

For example: If the tires are rated at 2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires = 8,000 lbs. and the RV has a GVWR of 9,000 lbs. with a tongue weight of 1,200 lbs. The actual weight on the RV tires is (9,000 – 1,200) which equal s 7,800 lbs. which is within the weight rating of the tires.

If you have further questions, please contact your dealer or Jayco Customer Service.

Federal Certification Label:

The Federal Certification Label is required by the government to verify the trailer complies with all motor vehicle standards for Canada and the United States. It includes the following information: Manufacturer name, VIN, GVWR, GAWR (front/rear), tire & rim sizes and cold tire inflation pressures.

Tire and Loading Label:

The Tire and Loading Label provides information on the tire sizes, cold tire inflation pressures, the VIN and maximum cargo capacity. The maximum cargo capacity listed on the label does not include the weight of a full load of water.

LOADING YOUR RV

Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling. Overlooked items such as canned goods, or small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on the range or freestanding furniture items can become dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.

Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not exceed one-half of the GAWR for either axle. For traveling safety, it is important to make sure any tie down straps (if so equipped) on appliances or furniture are secure.

CARGO CARRYING ACCESSORY RECEIVER (IF SO EQUIPPED)

WARNING

Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR for either axle. Overloading your RV may result in adverse handling characteristics and damage to the chassis.

WARNING

DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight. If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the RV, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight. Do not travel with full grey/black holding tanks. This not only wastes gas but, depending upon the location of the grey or black holding tanks, can affect handling characteristics.

WARNING

Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not shift during travel.

WARNING

Store items in areas designated for storage. Do not store anything in the areas reserved

for the converter, electrical panels or the furnace or water heater, etc.

WARNING

Receiver is for cargo carryin g a cces sories ONLY. DO NOT tow any trailer or other vehicle. Use for towing or exceeding load limit will void the warranty.

Failure to follow the instructions can cause the carrier to collapse or items to fall

which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 3-PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION

REAR BUMPER

The rear bumper of your RV is not designed to carry cargo. Items that extend beyond the bumper OR weigh over 100 lbs. (45kg) will place undo strain on the bumper.

The 100 lb. bumper capacity includes the weight of the spare tire that may have been attached at the factory.



NOTE: Some items may fall within the given weight range, (like bike racks) however,

they can still cause damage. Over time, weight added to the bumper will cause damage from the motion created while traveling. In addition, extra weight behind the axle may reduce the hitch weight (leading to adverse handling conditions from wind gusts and/or passing traffic

FIFTH WHEEL PIN BOX (CUSTOMER SUPPLIED)

Hitch selection is important because it affects the towing and handling characteristics of your RV. There are many kinds of hitches available for various uses and assuring that you have the correct hitch installed is critical to a safe towing experience.

Ask your dealer about the proper class and type of hitch you need to purchase for your individual tow vehicle/RV combination. A fifth wheel requires a pin box hitch bolted directly to the floor of the truck box through the frame.

The hitch manufacturer assigns a hitch class rating based on the capacity that hitch has for towing and a weight classification. The weight classification is determined from the hitch’s weight carrying capacity (the pin box weight on a fifth wheel). Before selecting a hitch, you must know your GVWR and pin box rating. The rating of the hitch package purchased should be equal to or greater than the RV’s GVWR and the pin box rating.

The rating of the hitch package purchased should be equal to or greater than the RV’s GVWR and pin box rating.

Equipment that sometimes gives autos, trucks and sport utility vehicles a softer ride can accentuate swaying when pulling a RV; conversely, suspension that is too stiff will increase vibration, bounce and accelerate wear of your tow vehicle and RV combination.

Jayco cannot be responsible for the suspension system of any tow vehicle. There are a variety of tow vehicle suspension systems available that will affect the ball height, stability and levelness o f a hoo ked up RV.

CAUTION

Do not add items to the RV rear bumper. Add-on items will eventually damage your bumper. Damage caused by such aftermarket equipment installation or improper loading voids the Towable Limited Warranty.

CAUTION

Using an oversized or undersized hitch can cause damage to the RV frame. Jayco cannot be responsible for the tow vehicle suspension system. The final ball height after the tow vehicle/fifth wheel combination is completely hooked up is a factor that must be considered. To avoid overloading your

trailer axles and minimize possible

handling difficulties, your trailer should be level when hooked to your tow vehicle.

Do not overload your tow vehicle.

3-4

SECTION 3-PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATI ON JAYCO TOW ABLE

Make sure your dealer is aware of the tow vehicle you are using so a compatible hookup is achieved.

Fifth wheel pin box

The fifth wheel factory installed pin box is not interchangeable. Maintain the proper pin box weight on the hitch.

Fifth wheel pin box height

There is no recommended hitch height for fifth wheels; usually the fifth wheel pin box is adjustable for variance in trucks and truck suspension systems.

Adjust the hitch assembly so the tow vehicle and the fifth wheel 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 manufacturer instructions to adjust the weight distributing hitch to the proper height.

FIFTH WHEEL LANDING GEAR

The fifth wheel landing gear can be operated manually. The fifth wheel landing gear must be fully retracted before moving or towing the RV to prevent damage.

FIFTH WHEEL HITCHING PROCEDURE

Hooking up a fifth wheel will become easier with practice. The following procedure will help until you become more experienced.

1. Make sure the trailer wheels are blocked.

2. Make sure the hitch lever is in its open or “cocked” position unless it has been

designed to open automatically. Adjust the fifth-wheel travel trailer pin to the proper height. Lower the tailgate, if applicable.

3. Back the truck so the hitch encircles the fifth-wheel travel trailer pin.

4. A gentle contact of the hitch saddle against the pin will cause the mechanism to close.

5. Secure the hitch lever as specified by the manufacturer.

6. Put the truck in drive (DO NOT press on the accelerator) and ‘bump’ the hitch to

make sure it is locked.

7. Be sure to raise the fifth-wheel landing gear all the way up.

8. Attach the breakaway switch cable to the tow vehicle.

9. Plug the wire harness/connector plug from the tow vehicle to the fifth wheel.

10. Remove the wheel chocks from the trailer wheels.

WIRE HARNESS/CONNECTOR PLUG

A 7-way wire harness/connector plug is wired into your trailer to connect electrical power from the tow vehicle for travel. This supplies power to the RV brakes, tail lights, clearance lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc. Wiring to operate your brakes must be the same size in both the tow vehicle and RV (the RV brake wiring is 12-gauge wire).

WARNING

DO NOT USE THE FIFTH WHEEL LANDING GEAR TO SUPPORT THE TOW VEHICLE WEIGHT. The fifth wheel landing gear is designed to bear the

front loaded weight of the RV only.

When attaching wires to your tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape all the connections for moisture protection.

The connector plug may build up corrosion with extended use and should be cleaned periodically to insure good electrical contact. Make sure the connector plug is kept clean and protected from road elements as you travel.

WEIGHING YOUR TOW VEHICLE & RV

There are two important factors when loading your RV, total weight and balance. It is imperative that you verify compliance within all applicable weight ratings. Overloading your RV will void the Towable Limited Warranty and the warranties of many component part manufacturers.

Have your RV weighed periodically at a public scale to determine the proper load distribution. Keep in mind that individual scales will operate differently.

The surroundings of the scale need to be adequate to accommodate weighing each side of your RV.

WARNING

The actual weight of the vehicle, all options, liquids, the hitch weight, and your personal cargo is important for you to know so you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the recreation vehicle. The volume of space available for storage may exceed the amount of available cargo

capacity. Large storage

compartments have been designed to accommodate normal camping items, which are

bulky, but not necessarily heavy.

WARNING

DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV as

loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight.

WARNING

If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the RV, or dra in liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight. Weight labels are posted inside your recreation vehicle so you can make a decision before you buy

about how much cargo capacity is important for you personally.

SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP JAYCO TOWABLE

TOWING

You will find that your RV will travel safely and comfortably at most posted trailer highway speed limits. However, it will take longer than a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Keep this in mind when overtaking and passing another vehicle. Allow more time to go around the vehicle you are passing.

You cannot cut back into the traffic lane as quickly due to the longer length of your tow vehicle/RV combination. Drive with caution to avoid situations that might require quick momentum changes.

Even though your RV is equipped with brakes designed for GVWR, we suggest practicing stopping away from traffic until you become accustomed to your RV’s stopping distance. A good way to practice is at a large parking lot (where it is permissible). Easing to a stop and starting smoothly saves wear and tear on your tow vehicle/RV combination.

Be aware of road surface conditions. Slow down well in advance of dips and bumps to reduce the jolting to your tow vehicle/RV combination. Drive over them slowly and let the trailer tires pass over them before accelerating. Cross railroad tracks slowly (always release your brakes before crossing).

Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect the performance and handling of your tow vehicle. Do not operate the tow vehicle cruise control on icy or extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic or in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be maintained.

When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear (or lower range if you have automatic transmission). Avoid conditions that require excessive and prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short intervals to give them a chance to cool. The tow vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling downhill speed and can lengthen brake life. The distance required to stop the RV is greater than an automobile’s. Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.

Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check the RV’s brake operation in a safe area to be sure they have not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if a difference in braking

efficiency is noticeable.

WARNING

Your RV braking system is rated for operation at GVWR not GCWR.

WARNING

Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid or debris in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing characteristics and may result in property

damage or personal injury.

WARNING

The propane cylinder(s) should be turned off when traveling. Most refrigerators will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours without running while you travel.

4-1

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP

Vehicle Clearance

Remember some bridges, older ones in particular, may not support the weight of your tow vehicle/RV combination. Know the weight and size of your towing combination and observe any posted weight and clearance limits. The added height of roof air conditioners, TV antennas or floodlights may cause clearance problems around some tunnels, canopies and hanging signs.

Turning Corners

When turning, the tires do not follow the path of your tow vehicle tires. The RV will make a tighter turn than the tow vehicle.

You must compensate for this action by carefully pulling the tow vehicle out into the intersection further than you would normally so that the RV clears the curb (or any parked vehicles along the curb).

When making a turn, check the road clearance and be aware of others. Have someone help guide you out of a difficult parking space or traffic pattern. Swerves and sharp turns, especially at high speeds, could result in loss of control of the RV.

Backing up

If your camping destination does not have pull through sites, pick a level site and back in carefully. We suggest you stop near the site, get out of the RV and observe the surrounding area. Check to ensure there are no obstacles in your path and that you have plenty of vehicle clearance. Check for lo w-hanging tree limbs, posts, large rocks or other obstacles.

Try to choose a site that is on the driver’s side, so you can see what the rear of the RV is doing. With the site on the passenger side, you would be backing into the site on your blind side, which is more difficult.

When you determine the site conditions are satisfactory, maneuver the RV into position for backing up into the site space. Back the RV up slowly using your tow vehicle mirrors as a guide. Have another person outside the RV assist you until the RV is parked in the desired position.

Parking

After the RV is in the desired location, set the tow vehicle parking brake and place the transmission in park. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Go outside the RV and block all wheels securely with wheel chocks. The wheel chocks can be wood blocks or purchased items as long as they prevent the RV from rolling.

TOWING BEHIND YOUR RV



NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A JAYCO FACTORY INSTALLED HITCH RECEIVER, DO NOT TOW ANYTHING B EHIND YOUR RV. THE RV FRAME AND BUMPER ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR TOWING.

WARNING

If you do not have a Jayco factory installed hitch receiver, towing items behind your Jayco RV, or overloading the rear, will void the warranty and may result in: damage to the RV or add-on items, towing difficulties, property damage and/or

personal injury.

SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP JAYCO TOWABLE

RV BRAKE SYSTEM

The electric brakes are designed to work with the tow vehicle brakes. To maintain proper braking performance, both the RV and tow vehicle brakes must be used together. Separate use of the braking systems will cause accelerated wear and damage.

When your RV is new, it is impossible to adjust the brake shoes precisely. It takes approximately 1,000 miles and/or 50 medium to heavy stops to “burnish” fit or “seat” the shoes to the brake drum. After the initial break-in period your brake shoes must be adjusted accurately f or best performance and increased durability.

Braking system components include:

 Tow vehicle battery  Brake controller  Wire harness/connector plug  Trailer battery  Breakaway switch

Hydraulic brakes (if so equi pped)

Your camping trailer may be equipped with hydraulic surge brakes. These brakes operate automatically as the tow vehicle’s brakes are applied. When the tow vehicle operator begins to decrease speed and apply the brakes, the weight of the moving trailer pushes forward and the coupler moved downward. This pressure moves the plunger, which in turn pushes the piston and rubber cup inside the master cylinder. Brake fluid presses inside of the wheel cylinder and activates the brake shoes against the drum. As designed, the weight of a trailer pushing forward will activate the surge brake system. When backing a trailer up hill, the trailer weight may activate the surge brake system, making it difficult to continue to reverse.

1. Prior to backing up a slope or through soft ground, pull the RV forward slightly to

assure that the actuator socket is in the forward position.

2. Move the lever on the side of the actuator downward from the “towing position”

along the curved slot in the actuator frame to the “backup position.” The slot has a notch at the bottom of its travel. Push the lever down to engage the locking notch.

3. The RV will now back up. This lever will slide into the correct position when pulling

forward.

It is extremely important to keep the master cylinder full at all times. An empty cylinder invites moisture.

Tow vehicle battery

The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your RV’s electric brake operation. To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle battery and charging system working properly.

Brake controller (customer supplied)

The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work in conjunction with the RV electric brakes. Consult with your dealer or the brake controller OEM to decide what is right for your towing combination.

WARNING

Failure to maintain the brakes in proper working condition as specified in the operator’s manual supplied by the axle OEM will cause property damage, personal

injury and possibly death. Consult with your dealer for assistance.

ENTRANCE DOOR STEP(S)

Make sure your entrance step is fully extended before exiting the vehicle, and retracted prior to towing.

Lubricating the step mechanism

Carefully clean the area around the pivot points (the rivets involved in the motion of the mechanism). Lubricate these pivot points with an automotive grade, non-staining lubricant every 30 to 60 days. Wipe any excess lubricant off of the step and then clean the entire step after lubricating.

ENTRANCE DOOR

The entrance door is located on the curbside of the RV. Always hold onto the entrance door when opening or closing it as damage caused because you failed to do so is not covered by the Towable L imited Warranty.

KEYS

Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle. Most keys have an individual key number stamped on the plate. Record these key numbers and keep the information in a safe place. You can order a key blank from your dealer to have duplicate keys made. If you lose the keys, contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance. Make sure the keys

are not inside the vehicle before you close and lock the entrance door.



NOTE: Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual lubrication using a light coat of silicone spray. Conditions such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may increase the maintenance needs.

KEYLESS ENTRY (IF SO EQUIPPED)

If your RV is equipped with a keyless entry system, it is a battery operated system. Programming and changing batteries on the lock system are described in the following sections.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the manufacturer’s operators manual included in your warranty packet.

Battery powered keyless entry system: The battery powered entry system is a 4 button touch pad programmable deadbolt lock. The 4 buttons are labeled “1|2”, “3|4”, “5|6”, “7|8”. The button labeled “1|2” is the same button whether the number 1 or 2 is desired. Please note this handle uses touch technology. The buttons are activated by touch and do not require pressing the buttons. Touch the button and lift finger from button for proper code entry.

Rain Sensing Technology:

The lock system has Rain Sensing Technology to preserve battery life. Rain will wake up the touch pad and illuminate the buttons. After a few seconds of contact from rain (water) the lights turn off, but a code can be entered and the lock will function normally. The same effect occurs if the operator touches a button for a prolonged period of time. The buttons will illuminate, but then turn off. Again the lock will function normally.

Additional Security Feature:

The lock system recognizes the first 4 digits entered as the code. However if you feel someone is watching you enter the code you can continue to enter digits after the first 4 prior to touching the enter button. For example, if your code is 8,1,3,9 and you felt like you were being watched you would enter 8,1,3,9 then continue to touch additional digits before touching the enter button and the lock will still operate.

Trouble shooting

After installation the touch pad does not work

 Batteries are dead  Batteries are not installed properly  Plug not engaged properly 

EMERGENCY TOWING

If your RV needs to be towed, please contact an emergency road service provider or a qualified service facility for assistance.

WHEEL LUGS

After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque periodically for safety. Check the wheel lugs after winter storage, after a wheel removal, before starting a trip or following extensive braking. Use the correct star pattern sequence to attach the RV wheels (see

Wheel Lug Torque Chart.)

1. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.

2. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown.

3. Tighten the lug nuts equally in stages as indicated for your trailer's wheels (see Wheel

Lug Torque Chart).

WARNING

Never allow anyone to go under t he RV while it is being lifted and/or being

towed.

4-9

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP

Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers). Thereafter, check and maintain the torque according to the listed torque values (see Wheel Lug Torque Chart.)



NOTE: The proper method of tightening wheel lug nuts is with a properly calibrated torque wrench and socket, not with an impact wrench or by hand. Do not use a 4-way lug wrench or any other type of wrench that does not measure the actual pressure applied to the lug nut.

Because of the importance of having proper torque on the wheel lug nuts, you should always have the wheels mounted and properly torqued by a qualified technician using the proper tools.

TIRES

Read and understand the following before taking your first trip in your RV!

Proper care and maintenance of your tires is essential to ensure your safety, as well as the safety of others, as you travel.

Routine maintenance on your recreation vehicle is important, but it cannot be overstated just how critical proper tire maintenance is to the safety, operation and durability of your new vehicle.

You must follow the manufacturer’s inflation guidelines for maximum load capacity; under-inflation is just as dangerous as over-inflation.

To insure your tires are operating safely, regular inspection of your tires and checking tire pressures is absolutely mandatory.

When you are using your vehicle, check inflation pressure weekly to insure maximum tire life and travel wear. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel, tires heat up and pressure increases.

WARNING

It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on the Federal Certification label, affixed to the roadside front corner of your tra iler, to determine the correct tire pressure. Under-inflation may cause tire failures and swaying; this

may result in loss of control, injury, death or property damage.

DANGER

Failure to follow proper inflation guidelines may result in tire failure, which, under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or accidents that may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.

CAUTION

Tire wear should be checked frequently. Once a wear pattern becomes firmly established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is

corrected.

4-10

SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP JAYCO TOWABLE

Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires may then be under-inflated.



NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has not been used for three

or more hours, or has been driven less than one mile. Tire inflation pressure of a hot tire may show an increase of as much as 6 psi over a cold tire.

Tire pressure is the most important factor in the life and performance of your tires. Proper inflation should be monitored closely. Failure to do so could result in the overheating of a tire, which could result in a blowout. Inflation pressure should be as recommended by the tire manufacturer or as the federal label for the recreation vehicle indicates.

Examine your tires frequently for unusual wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear will affect tire wear. Make sure to look for cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.

CHANGING A TIRE

WARNING

Do not use the stabilizer jacks to support the RV while under the vehicle or changing tires. The stabilizer jacks are designed as a stabilizing system only. Do not use the stabilizer jacks as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. Attempts to change tires while supporting the RV with the stabilizer jacks could result in

damage to the RV

and risk causing serious injury or death.

4-11

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP

1. Keep the RV attached to the tow vehicle. Block the tire on the opposite side of the RV

from the tire you are changing.

2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are changing before jacking up the RV. DO

NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen them for ease of removal when the tire is off the ground.

3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer (it spans from front-to-back just inside the

tires).

4. To raise the RV, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main frame rail. It must

be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.

Replacement

If you experience a flat tire on your RV while driving, gradually decrease your vehicle speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel firmly and move the RV to a safe place on the side of the road.

Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire store representing the brand installed on your RV. They are not to be returned to your dealer or Jayco.

If you have questions regarding your tires, contact the tire manufacturer or Jayco Customer Service.

SPARE TIRE CARRIER (IF SO EQUIPPED)

If your RV is equipped with a spare tire, it will either be mounted under the unit (hoist) or on the rear bumper.

WARNING

Never raise the RV by placing the jack under the axle, springs or any attachment

parts. Failure to comply could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING

Be sure to use only tires that are rated for RV use. The use of passenger tires should be avoided. The load rating/range embossed on the sidewall of passenger tires must be de-rated accordingly; they do not have the same load capability as tires that are specifically identified for RV use. Failure to use tires that are properly matched to your recreation vehicle could lead to premature tire wear or less than optimum trailer

handling.

WARNING

When replacing a tire make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size and

specifications (refer to the Federal Certification label.)

The slideout room system is designed for additional floor space and comfort. The mechanical components are gear driven. Electric powered slideout room systems have a manual override to allow you to extend or retract the slideout room(s) in case of a power loss. Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your slideout system.

OPERATING THE SLIDEOUT

The Schwintek in-wall slideout system is designed to give you, the RV enthusiast, a lifetime of trouble free service. It requires no maintenance it will never require any adjustments.

The Schwintek in-wall system has two vertical columns, a left hand and a right hand. Each of these columns has two serpentine gear racks that are attached to the slide room. Each side has a drive motor located at the top of the column. The right hand and left hand motors remain synchronized by the Dual Motor SynchronousVelocity Slide Controller (a circuit board typicall y located in the basement area of the RV.

CAUTION

Do not place excessive weight in the slideout room. It can cause the slideout room to

malfunction and cause damage to the slideout.

WARNING

Make sure the interior slideout room path and the slideout room itself is clear of people and objects before operating. Keep away from the slide rails and gear assembly when the room is in motion. They may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious

injury or death.

CAUTION

Make sure the vehicle is level before operating the slideout room. Water leaks and other problems could result if the slideout is operated without leveling the vehicle.

Only 1 Side Moving:

The Schwintek Inwall Room Slide has a separate motor to operate each side of the room. Does only 1 side of the room move a short distance (2 to 4 inches) and stop?

Will Non-moving side move with help?

If only 1 side of the room is moving, then with another person’s assistance press the switch to extend or retract the room while pushing the non-moving side in the appropriate direction. On larger rooms it may be necessary to have 2 or more people pushing the room.

Non-moving side moved manually:

Try to push the non-moving side in and out. If a motorshaft has broken then it will be possible to move that side of the room several inches by hand. Larger rooms may require several people to push.

Debris in the rack:

Check all 4 gear racks on the side of the room for debris.

Do the status LEDs light?

Locate the slide controller for the slideout in question (explained previously). When the room slideout direction switch is actuated, do the status LEDs light up. Check this in both the extend and retract modes.

The Electrical System

The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable on the date of manufacture. Because the electrical equipment and associated circuitry are engineered into a dedicated system specific to your RV, we recommend you do not make unauthorized changes or add fixed appliances to it. Changes or additions made after delivery may

result in a hazardous conditi o n.

Service and/or modification of the electrical system should only be performed by qualified electrical technicians using approved materials, components, and methods meeting current safety and code requirements. Please consult your dealer’s service department for assistance.

To read more about the various components incorporated into the RV electrical system, please refer to the information contained in your Warranty Packet.

Electrical System Maintenance

Before working on the electrical system; always disconnect the shore power cord, turn off the Battery Disconnect switch (if so equipped) and turn off the 120V main circuit breaker (if so equipped). Then disconnect the negative 12VDC battery terminal from the battery. (Refer to the sections on Battery Disconnect Switch & Load Center)

IN CASE OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE

1. Have everyone ev acuate the RV immediately.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the shore power receptacle.

3. Switch the 120-volt main circuit breaker (if so equipped) in the trailer to the “OFF”

position.

4. Disconnect the negative battery cable(s) at the battery.

5. Always have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components repaired

immediately.



NOTE: It is important that everyone knows where to find the120-volt main circuit

breaker (if so equipped) and how it operates. (Refer to Load Center section)

WARNING

Use caution when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur which could cause personal injury,

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 6-ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

GFCI RECEPTACLE

Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock. Each recreation vehicle has a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system. This device has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock. The GFCI will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.

Test all GFCI receptacles monthly

 Push in the GFCI “TEST” button. The GFCI “RESET” button should pop out

indicating the GFCI receptacle has been “tripped” and interrupted 120-volt power.

 Push in the GFCI “RESET” button to restore 120-volt power. Contact your t

independent dealer for assistance if the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 120volt power and pops back out.

A “tripped” GFCI breaker indicates that abnormally high 120-volt current flow (a ground fault) was detected through the electrical system grounding circuit. A fault condition can be caused by faulty wire insulation, wet wiring inside an appliance, or faulty electrical equipment connected to the circuit, etc. All ground faults must be repaired before use of the motor home.

TESTING THE CAMPSITE POWER CONNECTION

The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper functionality prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it. DO NOT plug the shore power cord into a campsite receptacle(s) that has reverse polarity, nonfunctioning ground circuits, or that shows outward signs of heat damage. Injury or damage resulting from connection to malfunctioning or improperly wired power sources is not covered by your recreation vehicle warranty.

Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedicated circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power receptacle and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity.

WARNING

 Do not hook up the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified proper

polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.

 Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure incoming

AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the grounding pin.

 Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or adapt the

power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is not designed.

 Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle.

Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.

 Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper

extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially causing premature failure of the AC equipment.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or improper grounding of your RV can cause personal injury or death.

Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or electrical box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the ground monitor indicates 'reverse polarity' or an 'open ground' DO NOT connect the power cord.

1. Turn “off” the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.

2. Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord (approximately 25’-35’) from the

electric cable hatch to the external power source.

3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be sure all the power cord prongs are

properly plugged into the receptacle.

4. Return to your recreation vehicle and turn “on” the load center main circuit breaker.

5. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow

these instructions when hooking up to the external power source:

The shore line power cord should be unplugged when the recreation vehicle is left unattended. If something would happen to the electrical system, this may help limit potential damage.

When you are ready to leave, reverse the power cord connection process. Use care to prevent damaging the power cord electrical connection pins when connecting or disconnecting the shore line power cord. Grasp the plug to remove the power cord from the outlet; do not unplug it by pulling on the cord.

Maintenance

Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Have the power cord replaced immediately if these symptoms are noticed.

CONVERTER

The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to useable 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord is connected to an external power source.

The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should overheating occur. Overheating can be caused by operating the converter above its maximum power output for an extended period of time, or by an obstruction to its ventilation air flow. To reduce converter heat build, keep unnecessary 12-volt lights and motors turned “off”. Keep the converter cooling fins and fan clear of obstructions.

WARNING

The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled in the electrical compartment or on the ground. If the power cord is left coiled, it may

potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.

WARNING

Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could damage the recreation vehicle electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury.

NORMAL MODE: Green LED flashes once per second. Battery is between 50% and 90% charged. When battery reaches 90% charge, the green LED will flash 2-3 times per second. Output voltage in this mode is 13.6VDC and converter is safely completing the charge of the battery.

BOOST MODE: Green LED on solid. Output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the battery up to 90% of full charge.

STORAGE MODE: Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. Output voltage has been reduced to 13.2VDC, the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.

Also included is a Wizard Mode Button used to override the Charge Wizard (See

MANUAL MODE MANUAL MODE: (Not recommended) Operated with the Wizard Mode Button. Refer

to the Power Control Center owner’s manual for further information regarding this mode. REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION: If a battery is accidentally hooked up

backwards, the converter will be protected. Easily accessible ATC type fuses will blow when a battery is connected in reverse. Replace with fuses of the same type and rating. Four reverse protection fuses (tan in color) are located next to the Wizard Button.

Inspection and maintenance

If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check the reverse polarity fuse(s) in the Load Center. There are no customer serviceable parts

inside the converter case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been removed. If you have further concerns contact your dealer.

12-VOLT DC SYSTEM

The majority of your recreation vehicle lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:

 Power is supplied by the tow vehicle alternator when the engine is running and the 7-

way trailer plug is connected. This powers the RV’s running lights, brake lights, turn signals and brakes. In addition, the 7-way trailer plug provides a common ground and a 12-volt charge line to charge the auxiliary battery.

 The converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the power cord is plugged

into campground power. The converter will also charge the RV battery in most situations. (Refer also to the Battery Disconnect section)

 The auxiliary battery powers many interior 12-volt components including the lighting

fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. It also powers the breakaway switch.

The 12-volt fuses are located in the Load Center. They are labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions and the components powered. At the beginning of camping season, inspect all the 12-volt fuses in the Load Center and replace as needed.

Replacing a fuse

Before replacing a fuse, always turn off electrical component(s) protected by it.

1. Disconnect the shore power cord.

2. Disconnect the recreation vehicle auxiliary battery main negative battery cable.

3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.

4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block. If the fuse is not blown, something else

must be causing the problem. Please contact your dealer for further assistance.

5. Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the

original location. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse.

The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. The fuses will not offer complete protection of the recreation vehicle electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.

Below is a typical wiring layout. Your individual recreation vehicle may be different. Refer to the diagram inside the Load Center for specific fuse assignments.

12-VOLT DC OUTLET (IF SO EQUIPPED)

There may be a 12-volt DC outlet (not applicable on all models) in your recreation vehicle. When the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appliance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.

Auxiliary Battery (Customer Supplied)

Your recreation vehicle has many 12-volt DC loads. When combined, their total is more than the converter can produce. High demands for 12-volt power can be met by an auxiliary battery for limited periods of time. The 12-volt DC electrical system is designed for usage with a Group 27, deep cycle battery.

Dry camping

Consider the charge condition of the auxiliary battery when dry camping. If the auxiliary battery is not being recharged and power is being drawn from it, it will eventually discharge. A battery will discharge at a faster rate as its energy level becomes depleted. It is recommended you plan your electrical usage accordingly. For accuracy, test the auxiliary battery voltage using a volt-ohm meter (customer supplied).

A fully charged auxiliary battery will read 12.7 volts DC and 1.265 specific gravity at 80°F (32°C). The auxiliary battery is considered discharged at 11.8 volts, and dead at

11.65 volts. When voltage drops below those levels, permanent damage may occur. Typically, a deep

cycle battery has an amp-hour rating of 75-100 amps. If you run the furnace and refrigerator simultaneously, you will be using approximately

(12.0 + 3.0) 15.0 amps per hour. This does not include any 12-volt lights, water pump or any other 12-volt component.

If the furnace and refrigerator in the above example operated constantly, a 75 amp-hour battery would become fully discharged in 5 hours (75ah / 15a = 5h).

The auxiliary battery should be installed in parallel with the battery in your tow vehicle. When the 7-way trailer plug is connected, both batteries power the RV so it is important not to discharge your tow vehicle battery below the level required to start the engine. To prevent this from occurring, disconnect the 7-way trailer plug or install a battery isolator. When the tow vehicle engine is operating with the RV connected, the tow vehicle charging system will charge both batteries.

Replacement and maintenance

Some equipment in your RV will draw small amounts of current even when turned OFF. To prevent the auxiliary battery from being discharged when your RV is not connected to shore line power, disconnect the auxiliary battery negative cable at the battery. During storage, it is important to check the voltage monthly and recharge the auxiliary battery as needed. If you remove the auxiliary battery from your RV, store it in a dry, cool area per the manufacturer’s instructions.

When it is time to replace the auxiliary battery, replace it with a Group 27 deep cycle battery only. Contact the battery manufacturer for further information. Do not reverse the positive and negative battery cables (doing so will blow the reverse polarity fuse(s) that protect the converter).

WARNING

Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to prevent ingestion of foreign material and potential short circuit conditions.

BATTERY ISOLATOR FOR YOUR TOW VEHICLE (CUSTOMER

SUPPLIED)

You may want to consider the installation of a battery isolator on your tow vehicle as a convenience feature:

 It receives current from the tow vehicle alternator and controls distribution of energy

to both the RV auxiliary battery and the tow vehicle battery.

 It serves as a check valve to prevent energy from being drawn from your tow vehicle

chassis battery (so you can start your tow vehicle engine).

Your dealer can assist you with the selection, purchase and installation of this aftermarket part. than 60 watts (5 amps) of 12-volt power. To prevent short circuits do not allow metallic foreign matter to get into the 12-volt DC outlet.

LOAD CENTER

The Load Center contains 12VDC fuses and 120VAC circuit breakers for almost all of the electrical appliances and circuits in the RV. The 120V Main Breaker (if so equipped) is located in this panel and will turn off all 120-volt power to the recreation vehicle. The Load Center is a hinged panel typically attached to a cabinet face in the main living area. Locations will vary by model. Refer to the diagram inside the Load Center for specific fuse assignments. Most load centers contain the same components, but they may be positioned differently. Not all load centers will include a main breaker.

The Battery Disconnect switch is located in

an enclosed exterior compartment at the front of the recreation vehicle. This switch shuts off all 12VDC power to the main 12V fuse panel, and the interior of the vehicle. When the switch is on, there will be green visible along with a “1” at the top of the switch. To turn the switch off, turn it counter-clockwise until you see red along with a “0”.

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS

Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers. The skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot, the vapor will condense on the reflector and it will dim the surface.

Replacement light bulbs must be of the type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp fixture. Use of incorrectly sized bulbs can overload lam circuits and may create a fire hazard by overheating the fixture.

GENERATOR (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The factory-installed generator will produce 120-volt AC power for use when camping in areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-volt power from the generator is output to the AC distribution center by way of a factory-installed automatic transfer switch. In the default mode, the automatic transfer switch connects the generator to the AC distribution center when the generator is operating and shore power is disconnected.

When the generator is operating it will power the converter, which in turn will charge the house and chassis batteries. The generator requires 12-volt power from the house batteries to start and draws fuel from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel tank drops to or below 1/4 full, the generator will automatically shut off to keep the motor home from being stranded. Be aware the generator, when operating, gives off carbon monoxide.



NOTE: Be sure to follow the break in procedure outlined in the manufacturers owner’s

manual.

Before starting the generator

1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.

2. Turn “off” air conditioners and all other appliances.

3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks. STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and have it

repaired!

NOTE: Refer to the Fuel System section of this manual for detailed information on

fuel gauge operation.

To start the generator manually

1. A remote start/stop switch is located inside the recreation vehicle. The switch will be

located with an hour meter either on a separate panel, or on the main monitor panel (location will vary by model). A second start/stop switch is located on the generator.

2. Press the operation control switch to start the generator. (Depending on how cold it

is, preheat can take up to 15 seconds).

3. The hour meter will monitor minutes of usage when the generator is running.

4. Before stopping the generator, turn off air conditioners and large electrical loads and

allow the generator to run 3 to 5 minutes to cool down. Flip the red start/stop switch to stop.

For top performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator engine warm up for two minutes before connecting (turning “on”) appliances.

Automatic Generator Start (AGS) system (If So Equipped) When enabled, the AGS system will automatically start and stop the generator according to operator or factory selected parameters. It can also be used as a manual generator start/stop switch. AGS is typically used on motorhomes.

1. The AGS system has been set up and tested using default values for the factory-

installed generator. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for operator programming information.

2. The AGS system is enabled by pressing the AUTO GEN key followed by pressing the

ENTER key on the face of the Energy Command control panel.

3. The AGS system will not operate unless t he battery disconnect switch is “on”.

4. The factory-installed AGS system will not start the generator when shore power is

connected to the motor home. If shore power is connected to the motor home when the AGS has started the generator, the generator will stop.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal injury or death. To reduce exposure to these hazards,

always disable AGS (if so equipped) before:

 Sleeping in vehicle, unless vehicle has a working CARBON MONOXIDE

detector.

 Parking vehicle in garage or confined space.  Parking vehicle for storage.  Servicing vehicle for storage.  Servicing generator.  Servicing batteries.  Servicing appliances or electrical systems.  Fueling the vehicle.

DO NOT run the generator or use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON modes (if so equipped) when your RV is indo o r s o r in a confined space. Asphyxiation or

carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can accumulate.

SECTION 6-ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE

5. The AGS system as installed will be disabled anytime the chassis ignition key is

cycled to either the “on” or “off” position. The AGS may be manually re-enabled after an ignition key cycle.

6. The AGS system, when enabled, and with the above conditions met, can start and

stop the generator according to:

 front air conditioner call to run  rear air conditioner call to run  coach battery low charge level  coach battery charge level prior to camp ground quiet time (when AGS is set to

quiet time “on” mode).

Maintenance With the exception of simple items such as normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.), all service work should be done by a repair facility authorized by the generator OEM. Improper adjustments can damage the generator and electrical appliances, and can result in a safety hazard. If any discrepancy or problem is noted, contact your dealer for assistance.

LED DECORATIVE LIGHT STRIPS (IF SO EQUIPPED)

Some models may include decorative LED light strips which may be installed on the awning or on the front cap. These LED lights are typically controlled by switches located on the Command Center panel.

120-VOLT (50 AMP) AC SYSTEM (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by an outside 120/240volt 60hz utility service like those commonly found in campgrounds or by 120/240-volt 60hz generator power. The entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a maximum current flow of 50 amperes per leg.

Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal 120-volts, will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system and appliances. The 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by an outside 120/240-volt 60hz utility service like those commonly found in campgrounds or by 120/240-volt 60hz generator power.

The following electrical components will only operate when connected to 120-volt power: air conditioner(s), refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), home theater system(s), water heater, washer, dryer, fireplace, electric stove, and appliances plugged into convenience receptacles.

WARNING

Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system

in the event of power surge or voltage spike.

WARNING

Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord to is a properly

wired 50 amp NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not 240 volt AC.

6-11

JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 6-ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

50-AMP POWER CORD (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The 50 amp external utility power cord is commonly referred to as the “shore” power cord. It is designed to mate and properly function with 50 amp “shore” power receptacles available at most campgrounds.

The shore power cord is designed to continuously carry the 50 amp current flow required to power each leg of the electrical system. It also creates a critical ground connection between the vehicle electrical system and the campground shore power receptacle.

CALCULATING 50 AMP ELECTRICAL LOAD (IF SO EQUIPPED)

When connecting appliances to the electrical system, remember that 120-volt power usage is limited to 50 amps per electrical system leg for a total of 100 amps. Be mindful of the fact that each operating appliance collectively places an added load on your 120-volt electrical system.

An unintentional “trip” of a circuit breaker may occur if you overload the motor home’s and/or campground’s electrical system. The amperage rating of individual appliances can be calculated by dividing appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by nominal design voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance). For example: 1200 watts divided by 120-volts equals 10 amps.

Only connect the shore power cord to RV 50 amp 120/240 volt electrical power receptacles.

WARNING

PLUG INTO 50-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
