Like all finely crafted equipment, your motor home will

basic operating and maintenance instructions. However,
supplement this by reading all instructional material(s)
furnished with the motor home in the Owner's Information
Package and the motor home Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual. This information outlines important areas
of
operation and maintenance for you to follow for safe,
trouble-free service from your motor home. Study these
materials carefully. A good working knowledge
of
your
motor home and how to care for it will help you enjoy many
of
miles and years
recreational living.

If
you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could
cause a crash, injury, or death, you should immediately
inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA)
in addition to notifying the Fleetwood Service
Center at 1-800-322-8216.
If
NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an inves-
tigation, and
if
it
finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
To
contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety

You
can also obtain other information about motor vehicle
safety from the Hotline.
This package contains valuable documents about your motor
home and its equipment and systems. This
Owner's Manual
and the Chassis Operator's Manual are in the package.
Since this manual does not cover every possible detail
of
equipment and options installed on or in your motor home,
there are booklets and instructional material in the package
that will help you safely operate, maintain and troubleshoot
those items.
Be
sure you read all this information
and
understand the safety and operating instructions included
in the package.
Additionally, you must follow all
maintenance instructions to insure full warranty coverage.
If
you ever decide to sell or trade your motor home, be sure the

Vehicle Crash
Like any other vehicle you may drive, your motor home
can be involved in a vehicle crash, including a rollover.
The motor home will be damaged and you and others can
be injured or killed. Drive defensively at
all times.

drive
if
you are tired, have been drinking alcoholic
beverages, are under the influence
of
any controlled
substance, or are taking any medication or drugs that may
impair your sight, hearing, judgment or coordination. Pull
off the road and park in a safe area until you can drive
safely.
Vehicle Handling
Your motor home is longer, wider and higher than a
typical car or truck you may be accustomed
to
driving.
Keep this in mind
as
you become familiar with driving
your motor home. New motor home owners should take
special care
to
learn the driving and handling
characteristics
of
your vehicle in safe and familiar
surroundings. The distribution
of
the weight
of
your
motor home is designed
so
it will handle safely while
being driven.
» When loading the motor home, balance the load
front-to-rear
and
side-to-side.
»
Load
and
secure heavier items lower in the storage
areas than lighter items.
If
you fail to properly load your belongings and supplies,
you will defeat the load distribution design
of
the motor
home, possibly leading
to
handling problems and a vehicle
crash.

Vehicle Response
When you, the driver, accelerate, brake or steer the motor
home, it responds to these inputs.
If
you are faced with
an emergency while driving, the way you respond
to
the
emergency and the way the motor home responds
becomes more critical.
If
you load, alter or maintain your
motor home improperly, it will not respond as it did
when you first received it in an unloaded condition.
Improper loading, alteration, maintenance
and
improper driver responses to emergency conditions can
lead to handling problems
and
vehicle crashes.
Vehicle Towing
Your motor home can be equipped with a hitch designed
to allow you
to
tow vehicles or other loads behind your
motor home. The maximum amount
of
weight your
motor home can pull or stop is determined by the
manufacturer
of
the chassis on which your motor home is
built. Check the
Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual
provided by the motor home chassis
manufacturer for the limits on the weight you can
tow.
If
the Chassis Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual does
not provide information on towing weight limits, do not
tow a load
of
more than 1000 pounds unless the towed
unit has a properly installed and operating supplemental
brake control system that operates with the brakes on
your motor home.
»
You
may be able to increase the weight of any towed load
by properly installing on the towed load a supplemental
brake control system that operates with your motor home's
braking system. Even with additional brakes, you cannot
tow more than the GTW or GCWR for the chassis under
your motor home. Again, check the
Chassis
Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual.
»
You
CANNOT increase the towed weight limit
by
changing
the size of your hitch.

» When

areas,

signs

Your
driving experience when pulling and stopping a towed unit
on
mountain roads will

you

» State laws
in
the United States and provincial laws
in
Canada are different concerning towing requirements and

in
the areas where
you
anticipate
traveling.
Alterations to Your Motor Home
Many motor home owners like to add a personal touch to
their motor home. But there is a difference between
changing how your motor home looks versus how it
handles or responds to driver inputs.
If
you expect to
make any type
of
alteration to your motor home, consult
a professional who understands the correct way to do the
alteration and how the alteration will change or affect the
stability, handling, vehicle response, and overall
performance and safety
of
your motor home.
An
improper alteration that affects vehicle handling
or
response can cause a vehicle crash,
and
any improper
alteration to the electrical
or
LP
gas systems can cause
a fire
and
can endanger your motor home
and
its
occupants. Fleetwood, your chassis and other
manufacturers stand behind the motor home
as
delivered
-
NOT
as altered by someone else.

and other Owner's

materials for service information.
See an authorized Fleetwood dealer
to
have your motor
home serviced or repaired.
You,
or an experienced
professional, should check all fluid levels and change
fluids and filters when needed. Tire condition and proper
inflation pressure
is
critical
to
safe operation. Keep your
vehicle properly maintained to help avoid a vehicle crash.
Warning Devices
Your motor home is equipped with warning devices.
Check them before a trip for proper operation. A disabled
warning device cannot warn you or your occupants
of
a
life-threatening danger. Keep them working and respond
to
them quickly.
