Congratulations on your new Ember, and welcome to the Ember Recreational
Vehicles family! On behalf of everyone at Ember, we’re glad you’re here. At Ember,
we’re focused on creating a truly unique and exceptional ownership experience.
We hope that you’ll see this in not only the quality we build into our units, but
through the interactions you’ll have with our company and our dealer partners if
you haven’t already!
Not only does it comply with all the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association’s
regulations, standards, and safety requirements, but it meets our own high standards
of quality and testing.
We ask that you please read and understand the contents of this owner’s manual as
well as the other manuals for the various components from other manufacturers that
came with your RV. Your personal safety and that of those traveling with you depends
upon you becoming familiar with and learning how to properly operate the various
systems, appliances, and components that your RV came equipped with. Take extra
care in reading all cautions, warnings, and notices, and familiarize yourself and your
family with the safety features built into your RV and what actions to take
to assure a safe camping trip.
We proudly back our units with our 1-2-3 Warranty: 1 time transfer in the first year of
ownership, a 2-year limited base warranty, and a 3-year limited structural warranty.
Dear Ember Owner,
Your Ember has been designed from
the ground up to provide you with a
reliable and quality way to enjoy family
fun and recreation.

Please read through the details of our warranty carefully so you are familiar with the
extent of the coverage and duration, along with the various exclusions, restrictions,
and limitations that may apply. Ongoing maintenance and upkeep are important to
upholding our warranties, so we ask that you please understand what those are. Some
components used in the construction of your Ember from other suppliers come with
additional warranties that extend beyond our warranty. Please be sure to understand
these warranties as well and submit any necessary registration forms included in your
Owners Packet.
Your dealership should be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have
after reading through this Owner’s Manual regarding your new Ember. If your dealer is
unable to do so, please feel free to contact our Ownership Experience department.
We hope that your Ember brings you many years of adventures and fun with memories
to last a lifetime! We are thankful you chose to be a part of the Ember family and wish
you safe travels!
Best,
ASHLEY BONTRAGER
Founder / CEO
