Before sliding into the driver’s seat, please become familiar with operations and features. In addition, spend some time with the dealer when you take delivery to learn all you can about your new motorhome.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This operator’s manual was prepared to aid you in the proper care and operation of the vehicle and equipment.
Please read this manual completely to understand how everything in your motorhome works before taking it on its “maiden voyage”. In addition, please become familiar with the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE: This manual describes many features of
your motorhome and includes instructions for its safe use. This manual, including photographs and illustrations, is of a general nature only.
Some equipment and features described or shown in this manual may be optional or unavailable on your model.
Because of Winnebago Industries®’ continuous program of product improvement, it is possible that recent product changes and information may not be included. The instructions included in this manual are intended as a guide, and in no way extend the responsibilities of Winnebago Industries beyond the standard written warranty as presented in this manual. The descriptions, illustrations, and specifications in this manual were correct at the time of printing. We reserve the right to change specifications or
design without notice, and without incurring obligation to install the same on products previously manufactured.
The materials in your InfoCase contain
warranty information and operating and maintenance instructions for the various appliances and components in your motorhome.
NOTE: Many of the instruction sheets and
manuals for the various appliances and components have been incorporated into the Operator’s Manual Supplement for your convenience. Please read the FAQ in Section 1 of the Operator’s Manual Supplement for more details.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

DRIVING SAFETY

This motorhome has been designed, manufactured and tested with concern for the protection of it’s occupants. We recommend you perform the following inspections for your safety and the safety of your passengers before starting your vehicle.
1. LP GAS SYSTEM - Turn off at tank for traveling. Test for leaks upon arrival at destination before lighting pilots.
2. WHEELS - Inspect for damage and check lug nuts for tightness.
3. TIRES - Inspect for wear and damage and check for recommended air pressure.
4. LIGHTING - Test for proper operation of all interior and exterior lights including dash lights, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, clearance lights, and turn signals.
5. EXITS - Inspect release mechanism on emergency exit window, test both locks on main entrance door for ease of operation and instruct passengers how to use both means of exit.
6. SEAT BELTS - Direct passengers to designated seats, be certain swivel seats are locked into position, and require use of a seat belt. See operator’s manual for occupancy and weight restrictions.
7. APPLIANCES - Turn off and latch or lock doors where provided.
8. LOOSE PARCELS - Store securely.
9. UTILITY SUPPLY LINES - Disconnect all electrical, sewer and water lines and secure properly.
10. ENTRANCE DOOR STEP - Assure step is in retracted position for traveling.
Read your motorhome and chassis owner’s manual for further precautions.
• Do not operate the cruise control on icy or extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic, or in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be maintained.
• Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.
• Never drive the vehicle with a slideout room extended.
• Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect stopping distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check brake operation in a safe area to be sure they have not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if a difference in braking efficiency is noticeable.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
• Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
• Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators are equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
• The following warning label is located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
Do not place propane cylinders inside the vehicle. Propane cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by discharging propane to the atmosphere. Propane gas is highly flammable. Can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury .
• Do not place or store gasoline or other flammable liquid containers inside the vehicle.
• All pilot lights must be extinguished and appliances turned off while refilling the fuel tank or propane gas tank.
• Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank or propane gas tank.
• Never use an open flame to test for propane gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps on propane system after filling. Make sure valve is closed and the door is latched securely.
• Never connect natural gas to the propane gas system.
• Do not turn burner controls to “On” and allow gas to escape before using ignitor or lighting a match.
Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort heating. Can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to death or serious injury.
Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operating: Open vents or windows slightly or turn on exhaust fan prior to using cooking appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be replaced to ensure proper combustion. Improper use can result in death or serious injury.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) avoids dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of

PROPANE GAS LEAKS

Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or
as necessary.
The following label is located in the vehicle near the range area. If you smell gas within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedures listed.
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
1. Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.
2. Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS LEAK DETECTOR

Your motorhome is equipped with a Propane Gas Leak Detector, similar to the one shown below. The leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of propane gas is present inside the motorhome.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT use an open flame to test for gas leaks. When testing for gas line leaks with a soapy water solution, DO NOT use a detergent containing ammonia or chlorine. These substances may generate a chemical reaction causing corrosion to gas lines, resulting in dangerous leak conditions. Death or serious injury can result.
Power Connection
The Propane Gas Leak Detector is powered by the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch is shut off or the battery cable is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will not work. The Propane Gas Leak Detector fuse or circuit breaker is located in the 12-volt house electrical load center.
Because the Propane Gas Leak Detector is connected to the house battery, it is always drawing a small amount of current. Even though this current draw is slight, it could drain the house battery during storage periods when the house battery will not be charged regularly by the engine or shoreline.

FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION
Some of the materials used in this recreational vehicle emit formaldehyde. Eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms, including shortness of breath have been reported as a result of formaldehyde exposure. Reaction to formaldehyde exposure may vary among individuals. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems may be at greater risk. Research is continuing on the possible long-term effects of exposure to formaldehyde. Inadequate ventilation may allow formaldehyde and other contaminants to accumulate in indoor air. Ventilation to dilute the indoor air may be obtained from a passive or mechanical ventilation system. Always be sure to thoroughly ventilate your recreational vehicle before and during each use. High indoor temperatures and humidity may raise formaldehyde levels. When a recreational vehicle is in areas subject to high temperatures, an air conditioning system can be used to control indoor temperature levels. If you have any questions regarding the health effects of formaldehyde, consult your doctor or local health department.
MOLD, MOISTURE, AND YOUR MOTORHOME
What is Mold?
Molds are part of the natural environment. They are as old as the Earth itself and mold spores are almost everywhere at some level waiting to grow. Mold plays a part of nature by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. Indoors however, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores. Those spores are invisible to the naked eye and float throughout the outdoor and indoor air. Because
of the nature of the use of a motorhome, it is natural for a motorhome to be introduced into an environment with mold spores.
Mold is a plant and requires its own special environment to grow. That environment includes organic materials, nutrients, moisture, and proper temperature.
How Can I Avoid Mold?
To reduce the ability for mold to grow, you must reduce what constitutes its growth environment. Mold can grow with the smallest of a nutrient base. Just small amounts of dirt or dust on the carpet can be enough to allow the mold process to begin. Keep the environment as clean as possible. Vacuum the carpet. Clean food spills thoroughly and quickly. Avoid grease buildup near the stove or sink. Clean the exhaust fan above the stove often.
Minimize moisture in your motorhome and keep humidity low. Clean spills quickly. Do not allow condensation to build up. You can open windows and vents to minimize condensation. Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing moisture from the air. Avoid leaks, but if leaks do occur, make repairs promptly.
Avoid bringing mold into your motorhome. Plants, cloths, books, and other household items may already have mold present. It is easy to transfer mold into your motorhome environment.
Monitor your motorhome. Periodically check those hidden areas in corners, closets, and cabinets to assure mold is not present.
What if I Find Mold?
If mold develops, clean the area with a concentrate of soap and bleach. Items that contain mold that cannot be cleaned should be removed from the vehicle.
Can Mold Harm Me?
The effects of mold and airborne mold spores may cause irritation to some people. Experts disagree on the level of exposure that may cause health concerns.

If Winnebago Industries determines that mold is present in the motorhome as a result of a manufacturing defect reported to Winnebago Industries within the limited warranty period, Winnebago will clean the affected area(s) and/or replace affected items as it deems necessary. This is the extent of coverage provided by Winnebago Industries. Winnebago Industries, however, will not assume responsibility for mold deemed to be a result of a motorhome users lack of timely and appropriate action to mitigate circumstances should a problem occur.
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold is present due to conditions it determines is not a result of a manufacturing defect found within the warranty period, Winnebago Industries will not provide any financial assistance to the repair of the condition.
Do?
ROADSIDE EMERGENCY
Because of the size and weight of this vehicle and its tires, and the possible complications involved in tire changing, we strongly advise obtaining professional road service to change a flat tire whenever possible. However, if an emergency requires you to change the tire yourself, please exercise extreme caution and read all tire changing information in the chassis manual.
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by a jack only.
If You Get A Flat Tire
• DO NOT panic.
• Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer the
vehicle as straight as possible. Avoid quick maneuvers. You may need to counter-steer to compensate for “pull” created by the failed tire.
• DO NOT stomp on the brake. This abruptly
shifts the vehicle’s weight forward, making it nose-dive and pull toward the blown-out side.
• DO NOT jerk your foot off the accelerator. Just ease back on the accelerator slowly and gently to continue momentum. The deflated tire will slow the vehicle.
• If you must change lanes to get to a safe stopping place, use your signals to warn other motorists and change lanes smoothly and carefully after you are certain the lane is clear .
• Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of the road. Do not worry about damaging the tire or wheel rim by driving on it. A tire or wheel replacement is cheaper than damaging the vehicle or injuring yourself.
• When you have come to a stop, activate your hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then exit the vehicle carefully.
• Set out flares or other warning devices.
Check your tires for proper inflation before each trip and at least once a month with an accurate tire gauge.
Recovery Towing
When calling a professional towing service, we recommend that you advise them of your motorhome length and approximate front axle weight listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This will allow the towing operator to determine the proper towing equipment to use.
Winnebago Industries® does not assume responsibility for damage incurred while towing this vehicle.
