INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the recreational vehicle life-style and the grow­ing family

of

motor home owners. Thank you for choosing a

Fleetwood motor home!
Your motor home has been designed to provide you with

years

of

carefree, pleasant traveling and vacationing. Your

motor home conforms with, or exceeds, the

American

National Standards Institute Al19.2, CSA Standard

2-240

(units built for Canada), applicable Federal or Canadian

Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards and applicable

Environmental Protection Agency and California

Air

Resources Board regulations. These standards establish the

plumbing, heating, electrical and other requirements for
quality and safety. The seal attached just outside the entry
door indicates compliance with

ANSI or CSA standards.

Like all finely crafted equipment, your motor home will
require care and regular maintenance in order to deliver max­imum value and performance. The dealer will give you basic
operating and maintenance instructions; however, supplement
this by reading all instructional material furnished with the
motor home in the

Owner's Information Package and

Chassis Operator's Manual. This information outlines

important areas

of

maintenance and provides a maintenance
schedule for you to follow for safe, trouble free service from
your motor home.

Study these instructions carefully before
you operate the motor home for the first time. A good work­ing knowledge

of

your motor home and how to care for

it

will help you enjoy many miles and years

of

recreational

living.

The materials in your Owner's Information Package contain
warranty information and operating instructions on the vari­ous appliances and components in your motor home.
Warranty registration cards for these items should be filled

out and mailed

as

If

you do not have operating instructions

for a particular appliance, contact your dealer.

You

will receive an Ownercare Card approximately 3-4

weeks after delivery of your new motor home. This plastic
card is imprinted with your name, the motor home serial

If

your

motor home ever needs warranty service, present this card

predelivery inspection

of

the chassis and all motor home
components as specified in the predelivery checklists sup­plied by the motor home and chassis manufacturers.

You

should receive a copy

If

a problem is not handled to your satisfaction:

1.

Discuss any warranty-related problems directly with the

The front suspension and steering system

of

this vehicle was

accurately aligned at the factory before delivery

to

thedeal­ership. 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.

Excessive or abnormal tire wear may indicate worn or mis-

aligned suspension or steering components, unbalanced tire
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.

As the operator

of

this motor home, you bear the sole

responsibility for proper, safe loading. This section will

guide you through the steps necessary to properly and safely
load your vehicle.

Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a specific max­imum weight. This weight includes everything: the weight

of
the empty motor home itself, all occupants and their belong­ings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything else that
may be in or attached to the motor home.

Before discussing loading and weighing, we need to explain

some common weight terms. We'll use abbreviations in our

discussion. These terms are:
