Safety Information
SPECIAL DANGER MESSAGE
The act of uncoupling your fifth wheel trailer from your tow vehicle is,
singularly, the most dangerous act to be performed when RVing. Dropping the fifth wheel
has been reported to cause severe injuries including broken bones, severed limbs and even
death by crushing if body parts are placed between the tow vehicle and frame of the fifth wheel
trailer. All of these accidents are completely avoidable by following a few simple rules, even
without installing the BedSaver™ on your hitch.
* Chock your trailer wheels.
* Extend your front jacks until you see no weight is on the hitch.
* NEVER place any part of your body between the trailer frame and tow vehicle or hitch.
* NEVER allow any helper or observer to place any body part between the trailer frame
and tow vehicle or hitch.
BedSaver™ prevents damage to your tow vehicle when an inadvertent release happens.
BedSaver™ may NOT prevent injury to someone violating the simple rules above.
For a safe and happy RVing experience follow the rules listed and NEVER COMPROMISE
SAFETY.
