YEAR WARRANTY

For Motor Homes Manufactured by subsidiaries

of

Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.,

sold in the United States and Canada

Your new motor home, including the structure, plumbing, heating and
electrical systems, and all appliances and equipment installed by the
manufacturer, is warranted under normal use to be free from
manufacturing defects in material or workmanship. Defects or
damage to paint, graphics, exterior materials, upholstery or other
appearance items that may occur prior to delivery are usually
corrected during the inspection process at the manufacturing plant or
the dealership.

The warranty extends to the first retail purchaser and his transferee(s)
and begins on the date

of

original retail delivery or the date the motor
home is first placed into service as a rental, commercial or
demonstrator unit (whichever occurs first). The warranty extends for
the following periods:

1.

For all defects (other than structural) the warranty extends for
a period

of

one year from such date or until the unit has

received

15,000 total miles

of

use as determined by the

mileage shown on the odometer (whichever occurs first).

2.

For structural defects, 3 years; structural defects are limited
to the following: roof structure, sub-floor structure, exterior
walls, interior walls and ceilings.

Written notice

of

defects must be given to the selling dealer or

manufacturer not later than ten (10) days after the expiration

of

the

warranty period.

The owner is responsible for normal maintenance as described in the
Owner's Manual; however, minor adjustments (such

as

adjustments

to the interior or exterior doors,

LP regulator pressure, cabinet

latches, TV antenna control, etc.) will be performed by the dealer

during the first

90 days

of

warranty coverage. Thereafter, such

adjustments are the responsibility

of

the owner as normal

maintenance unless required

as

a direct result

of

repair or

replacement

of

a defective part under this warranty.

If a problem occurs which the owner believes is covered by this

wan'anty, the owner shall contact the selling dealer, or the Fleetwood
Service Center, giving sufficient information to resolve the matter.

The owner shall deliver the motor home to the dealer or the

Fleetwood Service Center location for warranty service.

If

you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could
cause a crash or could cause 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.

However,

NHTSA cannot become involved in individual

problems between you, your dealer or Fleetwood's manufac­turing subsidiary.

To

contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety

Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or

Washington,

D.C.) or write

to:

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

is 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

The front suspension and steering system

of

this vehicle was

accurately aligned at the factory before delivery to the deal­ership. However, after you have fully loaded the vehicle
according

to

your personal needs, have the alignment

checked and adjusted,

if

necessary.

To

help prevent uneven

tire wear, check the front-end alignment periodically.

rlease note that front-end alignment after retail delivery is
the owner's responsibility

and

is

not

covered under the war-

ranty.

Excessive or abnormal tire wear may indicate worn or mis-

aligned suspension or steering components, unbalanced

tire(s) or some other tire/suspension problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/suspension parts

or road hazards such

as

hitting a curb, pothole, railroad track,

etc. Improper alignment can cause tires

to

roll at an angle

and wear unevenly.

It

may also cause the vehicle to "pull"

to

the right or left.

Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and will cause

annoying vibrations and uneven tread wear such

as

cupping

or flat spots.

If

you see uneven tire tread wear or

if

the vehi-

cle ride comfort decreases, the tires may need

to

be balanced.

See the Chassis Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual for

more information.

Fleetwood does not sanction or condone the installation of

any steering aid device that is not approved by our chassis

manufacturer's. Any add-on device

of

this type will likely
void the chassis manufacturer's warranty on the item or
items affected.

Any after-market steering aid device proposed for installation

must be approved by

installation on your motor home.

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.

DO

NOT

drive

if

you are tired, have been drinking alcoholic

beverages, are undet 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.
