Starcraft RV. We are excited to welcome you to our growing RV family. We are committed to being the most respected name in RVs.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is a guide to the operation and maintenance of your RV. Starcraft RVs are available in several sizes and models, so accessories and components may differ. Some equipment described in this manual may not apply to your RV. If you find the components vary significantly from what is described, contact your dealer to ensure you have the correct information. Nothing in this manual creates any warranty, either expressed or implied, nor does it cover every possible detail of equipment, standard or option, installed on or in your RV.

Information, illustrations and specifications in this manual reflect the most current available at the time of publication approval, are subject to change and not intended to indicate actual size.

ARRANTY PACKET

The Warranty Packet contains original equipment manufacturer operator manuals, warranty cards and/or registrations. It is important you complete and mail the warranty cards and registrations within the prescribed time limits to avoid loss of warranty coverage. This manual and the Warranty Packet should be considered a permanent part of the RV. If the RV is sold, they should remain with the RV for the next owner.

AFETY ALERTS

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. To help you make informed decisions, we have provided operating procedures and other information on safety labels affixed to your RV and in this manual. Please call your dealer or Starcraft Customer Service if you are unsure how to proceed. Always use the appropriate safety gear when servicing or maintaining your RV.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal

injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

In the United States

If you believe that your RV has an alleged defect that could cause a crash or cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Starcraft.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, 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 Starcraft.

For additional information, please refer to the NHTSA website at www.safercar.gov.

ANUFACTURING PROCESS

Starcraft recreation vehicles are manufactured for use as temporary living quarters for recreation, camping and travel uses, all as defined by the bylaws of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).

This recreation vehicle is not intended for use as a full-time residence or for commercial use.

Commercial use means using the RV as a business asset such as a mobile office or using the RV for lease or rental purposes.

Starcraft reserves the right to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation whatsoever. RV’s built for sale in Canada may differ to conform to Canadian Codes.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

It is important you read and understand the information in this manual and your Warranty Packet using your RV.

Familiarize yourself with the applicable warranties. You are responsible for ensuring the procedures for obtaining warranty repair are followed properly. It is your responsibility and obligation to return your RV to your dealer for warranty service repair.

As the owner of the RV, you are responsible for regular and proper maintenance performed in accordance with this manual and the OEM manuals. Regular and proper maintenance will help prevent conditions arising from neglect that are not covered by warranty.

As with your other personal belongings, it is important to protect yourself and others with insurance coverage. Your insurance agent can assist you in obtaining the appropriate insurance coverage for personal liability, theft, collision, property damage, etc.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

At the time of sale of the new RV, your dealer is expected to:

□ Deliver your RV in the best condition

possible. Your RV must pass the dealer’s pre-delivery inspection (PDI), including all systems tests.

□ Provide orientation of the RV, its systems,

components and operation.

□ Request that you read all warranty

information and explain any provision not clearly understood.

1 - 2

SECTION 1 STARCRAFT TOWABLE WARRANTY & SERVICE

□ Ensure you receive the Warranty Packet.

Your dealer can assist you in completing the OEM warranty cards or registrations, and locate any required component model or serial numbers.

□ Complete and return the “Warranty

Registration and Customer Delivery Form” to Starcraft within 10 days of delivery to activate the applicable warranty coverage.

The Towable Limited Warranty is activated only after Starcraft receives a signed and dated “Warranty Registration and Customer Delivery Form” from your dealer.

SUGGESTIONS

OR OBTAINING SERVICE

The independent dealers authorized to sell Starcraft RVs are also there to provide service after the sale. We work closely with them in an effort to keep you satisfied. To help ensure your dealer provides the level of service you expect, here are some suggestions we would like to make:

Contact your dealer at once… Do not wait until you are ready to use your RV. Your dealer may not be able to service it immediately and/or the repair may require parts be ordered. The dealer’s service department is busiest on Mondays, Fridays and before the holidays.

Prepare for the appointment… If you are having warranty work performed, be sure to have the right papers with you. Take your warranty folder and have your vehicle information available. Not all the work to be performed may be covered by the warranty; discuss additional charges with the dealer’s service management.

Prepare a list… Provide your dealer with a written list of specific repairs needed. It is important that you provide any vehicle repair history to the dealer’s service manager. Keep a maintenance log of your RV service history. This can often provide a clue to the current issue.

Be reasonable with your requests… If you leave a list with several items and you need your RV returned back by a specific time,

discuss the situation with the dealer’s service management and list your items in order of priority. This may include making a second appointment for work not completed or parts that the dealer may need to order.

Don’t expect to look over the technician’s shoulder… Please do not be offended if you

are told you cannot watch the work being done. Some insurance requirements forbid admission of customers to the service area.

Inspect the work performed… Finally, check out the service or repair job when you pick up your RV. Notify the dealer’s service management immediately of any dissatisfaction. If you cannot return your RV immediately for repair, make an appointment as soon as possible.

Please be aware that all repair businesses require notification of any issues with their repairs within a specified time limit. Make sure you are familiar with your dealer or RV repair center’s repair policies.

CUSTOMER RELATIONS

Starcraft, has empowered its dealers to make warranty and repair decisions. If a special circumstance occurs that requires information from Starcraft we have asked your dealer’s service management to make the contact on your behalf. This is why you should always

talk to your dealer’s service management first.

When making contact with your dealer, please provide the following information:

□ Your name, location and phone number. □ Your RV 17-digit vehicle identification

number (VIN).

□ Your date of purchase. □ The name of your selling dealer.

o If different from above, the contact

information for the RV repair facility you are contacting Starcraft to discuss.

□ A detailed description of the concern. □ If applicable, the component description,

serial number and model number.

SECTION 1 WARRANTY & SERVICE STARCRAFT TOWABLE

STARCRAFT TOWABLE LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED

The Starcraft warranty covers this recreational vehicle (“RV”), when used only for its intended purpose of recreational travel and camping, for one (1) year. It covers RV’s sold in the United States, U.S. Territories and C anada, only. The warranty period begins on the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser b y an independent, authorized dealer of Starcraft, or, if the dealer places the vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in such service. In the event that a substantial defect in material or workmanship, attributable to Starcraft, is found to exist during the warranty period, it will be repaired or replaced, at Starcraft’s option, without charge to the RV owner, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this limited warranty.

This limited warranty applies to the first consumer purchaser only. All rights and limitations within this warrant y are applicable to the original owner of the RV only. You may contact an independent, authorized dea ler for details.

Starcraft’s obligation to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship is the sole obligation of Starcraft under this limited warranty. Starcraft reserves the right to have new or remanufactured parts of similar quality used to complete any work, and to make parts and design changes from time to time without notice to anyone. Starcraft reserves the right to make changes in the design or material of its products without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously manufactured. Starcraft makes no warranty as to the future performance of this RV, and this limited warranty is not intended to extend to the future performance of this RV, or any of its materials, components or parts. In addition, the RV owner’s obligation to notify Starcraft, or one of its independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not modify any obligation placed on the RV owner to contact Starcraft directly when attempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.

LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT IS FOUND TO ARISE BY WAY OF STATE OR FEDERAL LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND IS LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THE SCOPE OF COVERAGE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

Starcraft makes no warranty of any nature beyond that contained in this limited warrant y. Starcraft does not authorize any person to create any other obligation or liability for it regarding this RV, and Starcraft is not responsible for any representation, promise or warranty made by any de aler or other person beyond what is expressly stated in this limited warranty, and no one has the authority to enlarge, amend or modify this limited warranty. Any selling or servicing deal er is not Starcraft’s agent, but an independent entity.

STARCRAFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE INDEPENDENT OF ANY FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY WARRANTY, AND THIS EXCLUSION SHALL SURVIVE ANY DETERMINATION THAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY HAS FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

NOTE

: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to the fire extinguisher user’s manual provided in your Warranty Packet.

Inspection and Maintenance

Read and follow all instructions on the label and owner’s manual provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer.

2 - 1

SECTION 2 OCCUPANT SAFETY TOWABLE

Do not check the pressure, test or practice using the fire extinguisher by squeezing the trigger, even briefly. The fire extinguisher is not rechargeable or refillable. Once used, it will gradually lose pressure and will not be fully chard for use in an emergency.

Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any fire extinguisher. Please refer to the fire

SMOKE ALARM

Some of the most common fire safety issues are burning candles, smoking in bed, leaving children unattended and cleaning with flammable fluids. The smoke detector is intended to help reduce those risks.

Your RV is equipped with a smoke alarm that is listed for use in a recreation vehicle. They are not fool proof. Smoke alarms only work if they are operational and maintained. Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer of the smoke alarm included in your Warranty Packet, including information regarding the limited life of smoke alarms.

Please be aware the smoke alarm cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach it. Anything preventing smoke from reaching the alarm may delay or prevent an alarm (i.e., a closed door may prevent smoke from reaching an alarm on the other side of the door, etc.).

This smoke alarm will not alert hearing impaired residents. Special alarms wit flashing strobe lights are recommended for the hearing impaired.

There are instances when the smoke detector alarm may not be heard. Though the alarm horn in this detector meets or exceeds current UL standards, it may not be heard for many reasons. These include (but not limited to): a closed or partially closed door, the alarm may be drowned out by other noise like the TV, stereo, traffic, weather, air conditioner or other appliances.

Operation

The smoke alarm is operational once the battery is correctly installed. The LED light will indicate

the battery is functioning properly. When the production of combustion is sensed, the smoke detector sounds a loud alarm that continues until the air is cleared. The LED light will also give a visual indication of a sounding alarm.

How

to test

Stand at ar

m’s length from the smoke alarm when testing as the alarm horn may be harmful to your hearing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency. The test button will accurately test all functions. Never use an open flame from a match or lighter to test this smoke alarm.

A warning label is located near the smoke alarm (Fig. 2.2). Please do not remove the following label from your RV.

Fig. 2.2 Test

smoke alarm

2 - 2

SECTION 2

TOWABLE OCCUPANT SAFETY

Test the smoke alarm operation after the vehicle has been has been in storage, before each trip and at least once per week during use. Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.

Maintenance

Gently vacuum off any dust on the cover of the smoke alarm with your vacuum’s soft brush attachment. Test the smoke alarm once you have vacuumed. Never use water, cleaners or solvents to clean the smoke alarm as they may damage the smoke alarm. Do not paint the smoke detector. For information on how to maintain your smoke detector, refer to the smoke detector user’s manual provided in the Warranty Packet.

Battery

The smoke alarm will not function if the battery is missing, disconnected, dead, the wrong type of battery is used or the battery is not installed correctly. The smoke detector requires one standard 9V battery.

When the battery becomes weak, the smoke alarm will “beep” about once a minute (the low battery warning). The low battery warning should last for 30 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.

When the battery is removed from the alarm, the battery flag in the compartment will pop up; therefore, the alarm cannot be installed to the mounting bracket without a battery.

Only use the replacement battery recommended by the smoke detector manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm may not operate properly with other batteries. Never use a rechargeable battery as it may not provide a constant charge. Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.

Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery once the smoke alarm starts “beeping” (the low battery warning).

For information on the battery installation for refer to the smoke detector user’s manual provided in the Warranty Packet.

Replacement

Smoke alarms have a limited life and are not foolproof. Smoke alarms will wear out over time like any appliance. Always replace the detector immediately if it is not working properly, it displays any type of problem, or within five years of use. Refer to the smoke detector manufacturer’s information in your Warranty Packet for additional information.

OMBINATION CARBON MONOXIDE/

C PROPANE ALARM

Your RV is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO)/propane alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/ propane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained. The alarm is wired directly to the RV 12-volt electrical system, with continual power being supplied by the RV battery. There is no 9-volt battery power supply in the carbon monoxide/propane alarm. If the battery cable is disconnected at the battery terminals, the combination alarm will not work.

Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer of the combination CO/propane alarm that has been supplied in your Warranty Packet. This includes information regarding the limited life of the alarm.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims are aware they are not feeling well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the vehicle or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected.

2 - 3

SECTION 2 OCCUPANT SAFETY TOWABLE

The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the household:

Mild exposure

vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flulike” symptoms).

Medium exposure

headaches, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme exposure

convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.

: Slight headache, nausea,

: Severe throbbing

: Unconsciousness,

Your combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is designed to detect the toxic carbon monoxide fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A carbon monoxide/propane alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Please note that there are hazards against which carbon monoxide detection may not be effective, such as natural gas leaks or explosions.

This alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon monoxide/propane gas, however there are other combustible fumes or vapors that may be detected by the sensor including (but not limited to ): acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline. These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, colognes, perfumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the propellants of aerosol cans.

High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up a recreation vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be detected for months after the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer to Section 2, Formaldehyde).

The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.

Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm. Individuals with medical problems may

consider using warning devices that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.

This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide fumes rests solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane alarm is just the first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide poisoning

What you should do if the alarm sounds

Actuation of this detector indicates the presence of carbon monoxide which can kill you.

1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.

2. Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).

3. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or by an open door or window)

4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door or window until the emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

2 - 4

SECTION 2

TOWABLE OCCUPANT SAFETY

If your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-4 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of carbon monoxide from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicle(s) are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the RV.

If problems are identified during this inspection, have the alarm serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about carbon monoxide safety and this alarm.

Alarm Signals

 Normal Operation: The LED will

maintain a steady green light, indicating that the alarm is powered.

 CO alarm condition: The red LED light

will remain steady and the alarm will sound 4 “BEEPS” then silent for 5 seconds. These signals indicate immediate action is required.

 Propane gas alarm: The red LED light

will flash and the alarm will sound a steady tone. These signals indicate immediate action is required.

 Alarm malfunction/low battery: The

gas LED will remain off and the Operational/CO LED will alternate re/green and the alarm will sound once every 15 seconds.

 End of life alarm: The LED will flash

red/red, green/green and the alarm will “BEEP every 25-30 seconds. The alarm should be immediately replaced.

The alarm will automatically sense when the level of carbon monoxide in the air reaches below dangerous levels. You should stay outside the vehicle in fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The sound produced by the alarm is loud because it is designed to wake a person in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be harmful to your hearing.

Maintenance

Vacuum the alarm cover at least once a year. Clean the cover by hand using a cloth dampened in clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not spray the front panel of the alarm with cleaning agents or waxes. This action may damage the sensor causing an alarm or cause the alarm to malfunction. Do not paint the face of the alarm.

Testing the combination carbon monoxide/ propane alarm

Test the alarm operation after the RV has been in storage, before each trip and at lease once per week during use.

The TEST/RESET button tests all ELECTRICAL functions of the alarm. The TEST/Mute switch is located on the front of the alarm. Press and hold the test button for 1 second. The alarm is working properly if the GREEN indicator light changes color to RED and the horn beeps 4 times. The Gas LED should also blink red.

Never turn the 12-volt battery disconnect control to the off position and disconnect the battery cable to silence the alarm.

NOTE: Pressing the test button does not

check the sensor operation. Refer to the carbon monoxide/propane alarm manufacturers user’s manual provided in the Warranty Packet for additional information on testing the sensors.

SECTION 2 OCCUPANT SAFETY TOWABLE

Repair or replace the combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm when the alarm no longer functions. As with any electronic product, it has a limited life. Alarms that do not work cannot protect you.

NOTE: The carbon monoxide/propane

alarm manufacturer strongly recommends replacement of the detector five years after the date of purchase.

Further Information

Refer to the Warranty Packet for more information from the carbon monoxide/ propane alarm manufacturer.

FORMALDEHYDE

Some components in the RV contain formaldehyde-based adhesives that may release formaldehyde fumes into the air for an unknown period of time. Individuals who are allergic to formaldehyde gas fumes may experience irritation to eyes, ears, nose and throat.

Indoor air quality may also be affected by leaving your RV closed for a period of time.

To aide in dissipation, ventilate the RV by opening all windows and circulate the air with a fan. The following label is located inside the RV near the entry door. This label should be left permanently affixed to the RV.

STARCRAFT TOWABLE PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION

TOW VEHICLE

If you plan to tow your RV with a tow vehicle you already own, contact your automotive dealer to find out your vehicle towing capacity. If you plan to purchase a new tow vehicle, be certain to tell your automotive dealer the GVWR, size and type of RV that you will be towing (some tow vehicles can be purchased with an optional tow package). As a minimum requirement, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your RV must not exceed your tow vehicle’s towing rating.

Some automotive manufacturers publish brochures that discuss towing considerations. Ask your automotive dealer how to obtain a copy of this information. If applicable, verify if the brochure ratings are listed “with” or “without” an optional tow package.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Failure to maintain the brakes in proper working condition as specified in the operator’s manual supplied by the axle OEM will cause property damage, personal injury and possibly death. Consult with your dealer for assistance.

The electric brakes are designed to work with the tow vehicle brakes. To maintain proper braking performance, both the RV and tow vehicle brakes must be used together. Separate use of the braking systems will cause accelerated wear and damage.

 Wire harness/connector plug  Trailer battery  Breakaway switch

Tow vehicle battery

The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your RV’s electric brake operation. To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle battery and charging system working properly.

Brake controller (customer supplied)

The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work in conjunction with the RV electric brakes. Consult with your dealer or the brake controller OEM to decide what is right for your towing combination.

EHICLE LABELS

Decals and data plates used throughout the RV aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give service instructions. Read all decals, data and instruction plates before operating your RV. If any decal, data or instruction plate is painted over, damaged or removed, it should be replaced.

Keep a record of the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) and your license number in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply this information to the authorities.

EIGHT LABELS

When your RV is new, it is impossible to adjust the brake shoes precisely. It takes approximately 1,000 miles and/or 50 medium to heavy stops to “burnish” fit or “seat” the shoes to the brake drum. After the initial break-in period your brake shoes must be adjusted accurately for best performance and increased durability.

Braking system components include:

 Tow vehicle battery  Brake controller

The factory-installed weight labels are specific to the recreation vehicle for which they are supplied and are not interchangeable.

Vehicle weight labels are posted on Starcraft manufactured RVs so you can make an informed decision before your purchase. Do not remove these labels from your RV. If the labels are missing, contact your dealer or Starcraft Customer Service for replacements.

LOADING YOUR RV

Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR for either axle. Overloading your RV may result in adverse handling characteristics

Fig. 3.1 Tire and Loading Information

Fig. 3.2 Federal Certification label

and damage to the chassis.

DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight. If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the RV, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight. Do not travel with full grey/black holding tanks. This not only wastes gas but, depending upon the location of the grey or black holding tanks, can affect handling characteristics.

Fig 3.3 Trailer Weight Information label

You may question the total weight capacity of the tires on your RV being less than the GVWR; this is correct. In order to calculate the actual weight on the RV tires, it is necessary to include the tongue weight. The tongue weight is actually being carried by your tow vehicle, not the RV tires.

For example: If the tires are rated at 2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires = 8,000 lbs. and the RV has a GVWR of 9,000 lbs. with a tongue weight of 1,200 lbs. The actual weight on the RV tires is 7,800 lbs. which is within the weight rating of the tires.

If you have further questions, please contact your dealer or Starcraft Customer Service.

Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not shift during travel.

Store items in areas designated for storage. Do reserved for the converter, electrical panels or the furnace or water heater, etc.

not store anything in the

areas

Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling. Overlooked items such as canned goods, or small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on the range or free-standing furniture items can become dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.

SECTION 3

STARCRAFT TOWABLE PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION

Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not exceed one-half of the GAWR for either axle. For traveling safety, it is important to make sure any tie down straps (if so equipped) on appliances or furniture are secured.

WEIGHING YOUR TOW VEHICLE & RV

The actual weight of the vehicle, all options, liquids, the hitch weight, and your personal cargo is important for you to know so you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the recreation vehicle. The volume of space available for storage may exceed the amount of available cargo capacity. Large storage compartments have been designed to accommodate normal camping items, which are bulky, but not necessarily heavy.

DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight.

If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the RV, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight. Weight labels are posted inside your recreation vehicle so you can make a decision before you buy about how much cargo capacity is important for you personally.

There are two important factors when loading your RV, total weight and balance. It is imperative that you verify compliance within all applicable weight ratings. Overloading your RV will void the Towable Limited Warranty and the warranties of many component part manufacturers.

Have your RV weighed periodically at a public scale to determine the proper load distribution. Keep in mind that individual

scales will operate differently. The surroundings of the scale need to be adequate to accommodate weighing each side of your RV.

1. Weigh the RV including the tongue weight, while detached from the tow vehicle. This actual overall weight must be less than or equal to the GVWR for safe operation. If the overall weight is greater than the GVWR, some contents must be removed until the actual overall weight is less than or equal to GVWR.

2. Hitch the RV to your tow vehicle. Weigh the RV and the tow vehicle to determine the GCW. Make sure that this rating is less than or equal to the GCWR as specified by the manufacturer of your tow vehicle. If this overall weight is greater than the GCWR, some contents must be removed to bring the combination into compliance with the listed ratings.
