Safety Chains You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from thehitch. Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not attach them to the bumper. Always leave just enough slack so you can turn with your rig. And, never allow safety chains todrag on the ground. Trailer Wiring Harness If your Fleetwood is equipped with the heavy duty trailering option, a five-wire trailering harness is located in the trunk. You may have to have it wired to your vehicle. These trailer harness color codes should be followed when connecting to your trailer: 0 0 White: Direct Trailer Ground for Trailer Lamps Brown: Parking Lamps Yellow: Left Turn and Stoplamps Dark Green: Right Turn and Stoplamps Dark Blue: Auxiliary Circuit Trailer Brakes If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs. (450 kg) when loaded, it needs to be equipped with adequate brakes. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so you'll be able to maintain them properly. Because you have anti-lock brakes, do not try to tap into your vehicle hydraulic brake system. If you do, both brake systems won't work well, or atall. Driving with a Trailer Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you'll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
