Capacities are based on measurements prior to tank installation. Slight capacity variations can result upon installation.
Actual towing capacity is dependent on your particular loading and towing circumstances which includes the GVWR, GAWR,
and GCWR as well as adequate trailer brakes. Refer to the chassis operator's manual of your motor home for further towing
All measurements are based upon the most recent data available. See your dealer for specifications.
The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically
equipped unit. The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations.

SECTION 2 – SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be occupied while the vehicle is moving.
• Make sure all passengers have seat belts fastened. Lap belts should fit low on the hips and upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be positioned snug over the shoulder.
• For pregnant women: Never place the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm. Adjust the lap belt across your hips/ pelvis, and below your belly. Place the shoulder belt across your chest (between your breasts) and away from your neck.
• Child restraints should be installed properly according to manufacturer’s instructions. See “Child Restraints”.
• All moveable or swiveling seats should be placed and locked in travel position while the vehicle is moving.
• Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats while the vehicle is moving.
• 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.
• Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect handling and/or performance of your vehicle. Refer to your chassis manual for complete and related information on driving your vehicle.
FUEL AND PROPANE GAS
• Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while vehicle is moving.
• Examine the escape window and be familiar with its operation.
• Inspect the fire extinguisher monthly for proper charge and operating condition. This should also be done before beginning a vacation or any extended trip.
DRIVING SAFETY
• Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving.
• Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehicle.
• 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.
All pilot lights, appliances, and their ignitors (see operating instructions) shall be turned off before refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
5 - DASH / AUTO
2-1
SECTION 2 –
WARNING
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Propane gas containers, gasoline, or other flammable liquids shall not be placed or stored onboard the vehicle because a fire or explosion may result. Propane gas containers are equipped with safety valves, which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
• 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.
• When lighting range burners, do not turn burner controls to “On” and allow gas to escape before lighting match.
• 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.
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 asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or as necessary.
The following procedures are noted on a label, 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
• Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and
all smoking materials.
• Do not touch electrical switches.
• Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or
gas supply connection.
• Open doors and other ventilating openings.
• Leave the area until odor clears.
• Have the propane system checked and leakage
source corrected before using again.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS LEAK
WARNING
Propane Gas Leak Detector
WARNING
DETECTOR
Your coach 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 coach.
SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
battery during storage periods when the house battery will not be charged regularly by the engine or shoreline.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s user guide provided in
your InfoCase for further instructions.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. Death or serious injury can result.
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
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust and ventilation system. It is recommended that the exhaust system and body be inspected by a qualified motorhome service center:
• Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil
change.
• Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust system is noticed.
• Whenever the exhaust system, underbody , or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet grill clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a garage, except to move vehicle into or out of the area.

MOLD, MOISTURE, AND YOUR MOTOR HOME
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.

ROOF AND LADDERS
Stay off roof. Roof surface may be slippery. Falling could result in death or serious injury.
The ladder on your motorhome is provided for
limited access to the roof.
Walking or working on the roof should be left to qualified service personnel using proper safety equipment in a safe environment. You should only walk or work on the roof if you are qualified and have created a safe environment.
For your safety, it is not recommended that you store or carry items on the roof.
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.

Before Using the Ladder
• Inspect the ladder to make sure it is not
damaged. Never use a damaged ladder.
• Keep the rungs of the ladder clean and dry
while in use. Never use the ladder when it is raining, snowing, or icy. The rungs can become slippery . Do not step onto the rungs if the rungs are wet, or if your shoes are wet or carry mud or debris that could result in a loss of footing.
• Never ignore warning labels or weight limits
defined on your ladder. The following warning label is located on or near the ladder:
Do not exceed 225-lb. maximum weight capacity . Misuse of ladder could result in death or serious injury. See Operator’s Manual before using ladder.
2-8
SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
• Maximum Capacity: 225 lbs.
• Do not overload. Ladder is intended for one
person.
• Make sure you are physically capable to
safely use the ladder . Strength, flexibility , and stability are required.
• Be aware that the vehicle may sway as you
climb the ladder . Do not use the ladder in high winds.
• As you climb the ladder, grasp the side rails
firmly and always use both hands. Keep your body centered between the side rails. Do not over-reach.
• Never allow children on the ladder.
• Do not transport items anchored to the
ladder. You could damage the ladder.
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.
• 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 coach 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.
NOTE: Consult your chassis manual for towing
instructions or precautions provided by the chassis manufacturer.
• 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.
NOTICE
Do not lift on bumper . Damage will result to front end body parts.

DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
Unfastening
Press the release button in the buckle. Hold onto the tongue when you release it from the buckle to keep it from retracting too rapidly.
When the lap-shoulder belt is in use, the lap belt must ride low across the hip area and the shoulder belt must ride diagonally over the shoulder toward the buckle.
The shoulder belt is designed to lock only during a sudden stop, sudden body movement or a collision. At all other times it will move freely with the occupant.
To Fasten
Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp each part of the belt assembly and push tongue into buckle. Adjust to a snug fit by pulling the loose end away from the tongue.
To Release
Press button in center of buckle and slide tongue out of buckle.
Snug and low belt positions are essential. This will ensure that the force exerted by the lap belt in a collision is spread over the strong hip area and not across the abdomen, which could result in serious injury. Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be occupied while vehicle is in motion. Swivel seats must be in the locked, forward facing position while vehicle is in motion.
Never wear the shoulder belt in any position other than as stated above. Failure to do so could increase the chance or extent of injury in a collision.
Seat Belt Care and Cleaning
• Be careful not to damage the belt webbing and hardware. Take care not to pinch them in the seat or doors.
• Inspect the belts and hardware periodically. Check for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not remove or modify the belt system.
• Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need cleaning, use only a mild soap and water solution. Do not use hot water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or dyes. These products may weaken the belts.
• Replace any belt assembly that was used during a severe impact. Replace the complete assembly even if damage is not apparent.
