INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Ultimate Advantage motor home, which has been
carefully designed, engineered and quality built
by Winnebago Industries, Inc.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Please read this operator’s manual completely to understand how everything in your coach
works before taking it on its “maiden voyage.”
This manual is a guide to safe operation of the
features, equipment and controls in this coach.
Some equipment, such as the vehicle chassis and
certain electronic systems or appliances, have
their own comprehensive, manufacturer supplied
manuals or information sheets which describe
operation of these products in great detail. This
manual will refer you to the manufacturer’s information included in your Owner I
whenever necessary.
SUBJECT ICONS - To make it easy for you
to find information you’re looking for, we have
placed convenient, pictorial symbols called
“icons” beside many of the subject headings in
this manual. The icons correspond to the subject
matter of the section. These icons were designed
similar to the familiar international symbols
which identify public facilities such as restrooms
and handicap access. There are several examples
of icons on this page.
PAGE ICONS - The icons at the upper corners of each page correspond to the primary content of each main section of the manual, such as
LP Gas, Electrical, Plumbing, etc. This means
you can flip through the manual either forward or
backward and know exactly which main section
you are looking for just by watching the icons at
the top of the page. This means less paging back
and forth.
We also urge you to read the complete
Chassis Operating Guide provided by the
chassis maker and all other operating information provided by our equipment suppliers
and manufacturers. This is contained in your
Owner I
NFOCASE.
NFOCASE
This manual should be kept in the vehicle at
all times for personal reference. The operator’s
manual, I
are to be considered permanent components of
this vehicle. They should remain in the vehicle
when sold to provide the next owner with important safety, operating and maintenance information.
NOTE: The descriptions, illustrations, and spec-
NFOCASE and chassis operating guide
ifications 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.
SPARTAN CHASSIS OPERATING
GUIDE
Throughout this manual, frequent reference
is made to the vehicle chassis operating guide.
The chassis guide is the operator’s manual provided by Spartan, the manufacturer of the chassis
on which this motor home is built. Consult the
chassis guide for operating safety and maintenance instructions pertaining to the chassis section of the motor home.
CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE
MANUAL
The diesel engine in your coach is built by the
respected Cummins engine company. Consult
the Cummins Operation and Maintenance
Manual for information on all engine related
topics such as engine maintenance, fluid level
checks, capacities, and service parts, etc.

INTRODUCTION
OWNER’S INFOCASE
Your InfoCase contains information supplied
by manufacturers of individual appliances and
equipment installed in your motor home.
Consult this information regarding the operation and care of appliances, accessories and special equipment.
OPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT
Some equipment described in this manual
may not apply to your coach.
BEFORE DRIVING
Before sitting in the driver’s seat, always
check around your vehicle to be sure you have
proper clearance for maneuvering. If necessary,
have a passenger help guide you out of a difficult
parking space.
Although your coach features automotive
conveniences like power steering and power
brakes, driving a motor home is different from
driving a car. A motor home is larger and heavier
than an automobile, so it requires more stopping
and passing distance, and more parking and maneuvering space than a car does.
signs. Know the height of your coach so you can
observe posted clearance limits. Also, remember
that some bridges, old ones in particular, may not
support the weight of your motor home. Know
the weight of your unit and observe any posted
weight limits.
Remember: Always use your seat belt and be
sure your passengers do so as well. We also advise making frequent rest stops while traveling to
relieve stress on yourself, your passengers and
your vehicle.
SERVICE AND
ASSISTANCE
Your Ultimate Advantage dealer will be glad
to provide any additional information you need,
as well as answer any questions you might have
about operating the equipment in your motor
home. When it comes to service, remember that
your dealer knows your vehicle best and is interested in your satisfaction. Your dealer will provide quality maintenance and any other
assistance that you may require during your ownership of this vehicle.
If you need warranty repairs while traveling,
however, you may take your motor home to any
Winnebago or Itasca dealership and they will assist you.
Always be aware of the size of your motor
home. The added height of rooftop accessories or
luggage boxes may cause clearance problems
around some tunnels, canopies and hanging

WARRANTY
Your new Ultimate Advantage is covered by
a factory warranty against defects in material and
workmanship. This warranty should be validated
immediately and returned to the factory by your
dealer. For additional information, see your
“New Vehicle Limited Warranty” included with
this vehicle.
DRINKING AND DRIVING
Winnebago Industries supports the recommendations of the Presidential Commission on
Drunk Driving.
· Exercise your good judgment and encourage
others to do the same.
· Know the legal limits and do not exceed
them.
· Also know your personal limits, which may
be lower than the legal limits.
· Should you ever exceed your limits, find
alternative transportation; call a cab, ask a
friend to drive you home or call a family
member to come and get you.
The presence of alcohol in significant levels
in the blood increases the probability that the
driver will be involved in an accident.
INTRODUCTION
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
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 Winnebago
Industries, Inc.
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 Winnebago Industries.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393
(or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write
to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation,
Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain
other information about motor vehicle safety
from the Hotline.

SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and understand all instructions and precautions in this manual before operating your
new motor home. Throughout this manual, certain items are labeled NOTE, CAUTION and
WARNING. These terms alert you to precautions
that can involve risk to your vehicle or to your
personal safety. Read and follow them carefully.
NOTE: Indicate special points of information.
CAUTION
Indicates that a failure to observe can
cause damage to vehicle or equipment
WARNING
This symbol is used to alert you to
precautions that involve your personal safety as well as vehicle damage. Read and follow them carefully.
Listed below are some safety precautions that
must be adhered to. These precautions as well as
others that involve damage to equipment are also
listed in the appropriate areas in this manual.
· Make sure all passengers have seat belts fastened in a low and snug position so the force
exerted by the belt in a collision will be
spread across the strong hip area. Pregnant
women should wear a lap-shoulder belt
whenever possible, with the lap belt portion
worn low and snug throughout the pregnancy.
· Before driving, secure dinette chairs with retainer strap provided as shown in Section 8.
· Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats
while the vehicle is moving.
· Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while
vehicle is moving.
· Examine the escape window and be familiar
with its operation, but do not use except in an
emergency.
• 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
GENERAL WARNINGS
· Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be
occupied while the vehicle is moving.
· All seats which can be positioned, such as
swiveling, sliding, reclining, or footrest out,
must be placed in a fully upright and swivellocked position with footrests retracted while
the vehicle is moving. Some swivel lounge
chairs are designed to lock in a forward
facing position, while others lock in an aisle
facing position. Be certain these seats are
secure from swiveling before traveling.
· 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.
· Use care when accelerating or decelerating
on a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes
can cause skidding and loss of control.

SECTION 1
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING
APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING
COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION.
BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN AND;
2. OPEN WINDOW.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
· 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 related information.
FUEL & LP GAS
· All pilot lights must be extinguished and appliances turned off while refilling the fuel
tank or LP tank.
· Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank
or LP gas tank.
· Avoid inhaling exhaust gases produced by
burned gasoline, diesel fuel or LP gas in
items such as the range, chassis engine, generator engine, refrigerator, furnace and water
heater. They contain carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, colorless and poisonous
gas.
· Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the
vehicle because a fire or explosion may result. LP gas containers are equipped with
safety valves which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
· Do not alter the LP gas system at any time or
in any way.
· Do not fill LP gas container(s) above 80 percent of capacity. Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow
which can cause fire or explosion. A properly
filled container will contain approximately
80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
1-2
· Never use an open flame to test for LP gas
leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps
on LP system after filling. Make sure valve is
closed and door latched securely.
· Never connect natural gas to the LP 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.
· LP 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.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING
APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING
COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION.
BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN AND;
2. OPEN WINDOW.
Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside
a recreational vehicle is limited due to its
size. To avoid danger of axphyxiation, provide proper ventilation when using the gas
rangetop or gas oven. It is especially important that the gas oven and range top not be
used for comfort heating. Danger of asphyxiation is greater when these appliances are
used for long periods of time.
LP GAS LEAKS
P
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 GAS
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot
lights and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank
valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating
openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and
leakage source corrected before
using again.
LP GAS ALARM
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas detector which sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of
LP gas is present inside the coach. Because LP
gas is heavier than air, the detector is located on
a cabinet face near the floor of the coach.
SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ress to stop alarm
Green
(Active)
If The Alarm Sounds
If the alarm sounds, do not touch any electrical switches. Immediately turn off the main LP
tank valve and all LP appliances, open all windows and roof vents, and leave the coach until
the alarm stops sounding.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular intervals, a leak may be present. Contact your dealer
or an LP gas service center to have the problem
corrected before using the LP system again.
If the coach batteries become extremely
drained, an amber light on the face of the alarm
will come on and in some cases the LP alarm may
begin to sound on its own. This condition typically occurs only during storage situations when
battery charge is not being restored by the inverter charger or solar charger.
Red
(Alarm)

(Low Batt.)
WARNING
Never 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.
Power Connection
A green light on the face of the alarm shows
when the unit is active. The red button is used to
reset the alarm.
The gas alarm is powered by the coach batteries. If the battery cable is disconnected from the
batteries, auxiliary battery switch is shut off, or
the circuit breaker is tripped, the alarm will not

SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
work. The LP gas alarm breaker is located on the
coach breaker fuse panel shown in Section 6.
Because the LP gas alarm is connected directly to the auxiliary battery, it is always drawing a
small amount of current. Even though this current
draw is slight, it could drain the coach battery
during storage periods of 30 days or longer. We
recommend turning the auxiliary battery switch
off or disconnecting the battery cables from the
auxiliary battery during extended storage periods
to avoid discharge.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s information entitled
“Your LP Gas Detector” in the Owners InfoCase
for further instructions on nuisance alarms and
care and testing of the LP gas detector.
LOADING
· Store or secure all loose items inside the
motor home before traveling. Possible 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.
· Be aware of GVWR, GAWR and individual
load limit on each tire or set of duals. (See
“Loading the Vehicle” in Section 4.)
· Never load the motor home in excess of the
gross vehicle weight rating or the gross axle
weight rating for either axle.
ELECTRICAL
· Careless handling of electrical components
can be fatal. Never touch or use electrical
components or appliances while feet are bare,
while hands are wet, or while standing in
water or on wet ground.
· Improper grounding of the vehicle can cause
personal injury. Do not plug the utility power
cord into an outlet which is not grounded and
do not adapt the plug to connect to a receptacle for which it is not designed.
· Do not attach an extension cord to the utility
power cord.
· Be sure that all electrical appliances to be

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FORMALDEHYDE INFORMATION
WARNING
Some components in this vehicle contain formaldehyde based adhesives
which may release formaldehyde
fumes into the air for an unknown
period of time until total dissipation
occurs. Individuals who are allergic
to formaldehyde gas fumes may
experience irritation to eyes, ears,
nose and throat. Reaction in infants
may be more severe. Although long
range effects are not well understood,
testing to date has not revealed any
serious health effects in humans at the
level of emission from these
products.
IMPORTANT
To aid in dissipation, ventilate the vehicle by
opening all windows and circulating the air with
a fan.
CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING
· Each time the vehicle is raised 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 in or out of area.
When vehicle is stopped in an UNCONFINED
area with the engine running for any more than a
short period, adjust heating or cooling system to
force outside air into the vehicle as follows:
1. Set fan to medium or high speed and vent
control to air.
2. On vehicles equipped with air conditioning,
set fan to medium or high speed and set control to obtain maximum vent air.
Rear windows should be closed while driving
to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into
the vehicle.
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
If your suspect that exhaust fumes are entering
the passenger compartment, have the cause determined and corrected as soon as possible. If you
must drive under these conditions, drive only
with ALL WINDOWS FULLY OPENED.
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 motor home service
center.

SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The CO alarm is powered by a 9-volt battery
and contains a sensor that is designed to detect
toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes resulting from
incomplete combustion of fuel. It will detect CO
gas from any combustion source such as the furnace, gas range/oven, water heater, refrigerator,
chassis engine, and electric generator engine.
· Patented biomimetic sensor mimics the
human response to Carbon Monoxide.
· Test/Reset provides for one time alarm
silence and multiple warning silence. Also
tests alarm circuitry, microprocessor, battery
and horn.
· Red light flashes once every thirty seconds in
normal operation.
· Continuous yellow light with a beep every
three seconds indicates an unhealthy CO
level.
· Continuous red light and pulsating alarm sig-
nal a dangerous CO condition.
· Battery operation provides protection 100%
of the time. Low battery signal alerts consumer of need to replace battery.
· 85 decibel alarm assures waking during
sleeping hours.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Emergency Exit Windows
Your motor home is equipped with an emergency exit window on the left (driver’s) side of
the bedroom which functions as an escape exit in
an emergency situation.
WARNING
Use emergency window for emergency exit only. Do not test for proper
operation.
Use care when exiting emergency
window, as broken glass may be
present in the exit area.
The side mounted escape window is secured
by two safety latches and can be opened by first
releasing these two latches and then pushing outward on the lower part of the window. Identify
which type of emergency exit window is in your
vehicle.
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
periodically (at least monthly) to check the function of the alarm and condition of the battery. If
the alarm begins to beep every few seconds, the
battery may be weak and need replacement.
(Press the TEST button to be sure before replacing the battery. If the alarm sounds, the battery
may still be okay. If the alarm still beeps every
few seconds, check the smoke detector also. The
“low battery” warning beep is similar on many
alarm devices, so the origin of this electronic
sound can be deceiving.)
Further Information
Please read the information provided by the
manufacturer, which is included in your Owner’s
InfoCase. It includes information on precautions,
operational testing, and battery/sensor replacement.

SAFETY DEVICES
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A dry chemical fire extinguisher is located
near the floor behind the passenger seat.
SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SMOKE ALARM
Your motor home is equipped with a smoke
alarm located on the ceiling in the galley and
lounge area. This alarm meets U.L. Standard 217
and NFPA Standard 74 for operation of smoke
detection devices.
We recommend that you become thoroughly
familiar with the operating instructions displayed
on the side of the fire extinguisher or in the information supplied in your Owner’s InfoCase.
We also recommend that you inspect the fire
extinguisher for proper charge at least once a
month in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommendations as
stated on the label. If the charge is insufficient,
the fire extinguisher must be replaced.
WARNING
Do not test the fire extinguisher by
discharging it. Partial discharge can
cause leakage of pressure or contents
which would render the unit inoperative when needed. When using the
fire extinguisher, aim the spray at the
base of the fire.
1. The smoke alarm should be tested for correct
operation each time the vehicle is brought
out of storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week during motor home use. To test
the electronics, firmly depress the button. To
test that smoke reaches the sensor, blow
smoke in a careful, fire-safe manner into
your smoke alarm.
Press to Test
2. Your smoke alarm will not work without
power. Never remove the battery to quiet the
alarm. When your smoke alarm “beeps”
about once a minute the battery is weak.

FUEL SELECTION
Refer to your Spartan chassis operating guide
for the manufacturer's recommendations on proper fuel selection.
Winter Fuel Waxing and Anti-Gel Additives
In sub-freezing temperatures, #2 diesel fuel
can form small wax crystals that become trapped
in the fuel filter and block the fuel flow to the
engine, causing it to stall out. At sub-zero temperatures, the fuel can congeal and turn
“slushy”. If this happens, the only remedy is to
have the vehicle towed into a heated facility to
allow the fuel to warm up and become fully
liquid again.
During winter time, most truck stops and
reputable filling stations have winter blend
diesel fuels available that are less susceptible to
waxing.
There are also commercially available products, typically called anti-gel additives, to add to
diesel fuel while filling the tank to inhibit wax
formation in freezing temperatures.
Consult your Spartan chassis guide or Cummins engine guide for more information on fuel
requirements and additives.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Diesel fuel, especially #2 grade, can foam up
while being pumped into the tank. Sometimes
this foam can cause the pump nozzle to shut off
before the tank is actually full. Allow the foam to
settle then resume filling at a slower flow rate
until the tank is full.

CAUTION
The Cummins diesel engine must be
set to 1000 rpm fast idle mode if
idling for more than 10 minutes or the
engine will be severely damaged.
To Increase Idle Speed: While idling, press the
Cruise Control ON button, then press the SET
button momentarily. This will automatically set
the engine idle speed to 1000 rpm. The engine
idle speed can be increased (or ‘ramped up’) by
holding the SET button and releasing at the
desired rpm speed - anywhere from 1000 rpm to
a maximum of 1700 rpm.
To Decrease Idle Speed: Press the Cruise Control RES button momentarily to ‘bump down’
rpm’s in preset increments, or press and hold to
‘ramp down’ to 1000 rpm..
To Cancel High Idle: Press the Brake pedal to
return to normal engine idle speed - especially
before shifting the transmission when you are
ready to drive off. You can also do this by pressing the cruise control On/Off or Cancel buttons.
Cold Weather Starting: Please note the following cold weather starting precautions. These
labels are also located in appropriate areas of the
coach. Failure to follow these precautions could
cause serious damage to your diesel engine.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
Your coach is equipped with an engine block
heater to assist starting in freezing temperatures.
The power cord is located in the rear cargo compartment on the driver side of the coach. When
plugged into the receptacle, the heater is connected to both the shoreline and the auxiliary generator, so a separate extension cord is not needed.
The power switch is a standard household light
switch located above the OnePlace panel.
Diesel Engine Heater Switch
To Use the Engine Heater
With the shoreline cord plugged into a shoreline hookup, turn on the engine heater power
switch on the forward bedroom wall on the driver’s side of the coach.
If a shoreline hookup is not available, just start
the auxiliary generator to provide power to the
engine heater.
REMEMBER! Turn the engine heater switch off
after starting the engine. The heater will keep
operating for as long as it is supplied with electricity. If the switch is left on, the engine heater
will come on each time you hook up the shoreline
cord or start the generator.

left of the steering column. Push the knob in to
release the brakes.
Exhaust Brake Switch
Parking Brake Knob
Use the parking brakes whenever the vehicle
is parked. Never try to drive the vehicle with the
park brake applied. This can cause excessive
wear on the brakes and may damage the transmission.
NOTE: It is normal to hear an occasional burst
of air pressure from the rear of the vehicle. This is an automatic moisture purging feature of the air brake system. See
the Brakes section of your Spartan chassis manual for instructions on periodic
draining of brake air tank.
JACOBS® EXTARDER™ ENGINE
EXHAUST BRAKING SYSTEM
To Use the Exhaust Brake: The exhaust brake
activation switch is located on the lower left side
of the dash. Press and release the ON side of the
switch to activate the exhaust brake system. The
exhaust brake will operate whenever you let up
on the throttle pedal while the switch is ON.
Press and release the OFF side of the switch to
deactivate the exhaust brake system and return to
chassis brakes alone.
How It Works: The Jacobs
device that generates “braking” power by controlled restriction of the engine’s exhaust gas
flow.
When the exhaust brake is activated, a valve
closes off the engine’s exhaust causing the exhaust back pressure to increase, which causes the
vehicle to slow down.
The increased back pressure would normally
stop the engine except the forward momentum of
the vehicle keeps the drivetrain and the engine
turning.
This controlled back pressure helps to regulate
a vehicle’s downhill speed, such as on mountainous or hilly roads. It also provides “braking” on
level or near-level roads.
