    WARNING: For traveling safety, it is extremely important to read and understand the towing, hitching and loading cargo information provided in Chapter 3. If you do not understand the information provided, please consult your dealer or Jayco owner representative. • Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).

  • Page 12: Insurance

    • Ensure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Proper inflation should be monitored closely. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating of a tire, which could result in a blowout. • Check and tighten wheel lugs regularly, according to your chassis owner’s manual recommendations.

  • Page 13: Condensation

    CONDENSATION Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with the climate conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there is water vapor present in the air, which each of us adds by breathing, bathing and cooking. The water vapor collects where there is available air space, and when the temperature reaches the 'dew point' the water vapor in the air condenses and changes to liquid form.
