| 2) | Don't leave the black water valve open. Empty the black water tank only when there is enough fluid in it to flush out solids & paper. | Jim

| 3) | When raising the TV antenna, place some sort of flag or card on the crank to remind you the antenna is up. | Jim

| 4) | When driving, keep jalousie windows tightly closed. Don't let them "flutter". The fluttering will cause the base support rod of the window to eat through the window frame allowing the window panes to fall out. | Jim

| 5) | After children have played in the RV, check the latch on the emergency exit window to make certain the window has not been released. If released, it will fall out while you are driving. | Jim

6) | Check tire air pressure while they are cool prior to driving. When stopping during your travels, touch each tire to see if they are equally warm. A "hotter" tire means low pressure. | Jim

7) | Weigh each axle to determine the weight carried by each tire. Inflate the tire to carry the proper weight. Do not inflate to the maximum allowed pressure unless it is necessary in order to carry the weight. Over inflated tires wear out the tread in the center of the tire & ride rougher than necessary. Over inflated "steering" tires increases "road wander". Proper inflation based on your type of tire & the weight you carry can be found at www.goodyear.com/rv/pdf/rv_inflation.pdf | Jim
