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.

5
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

SAFETY TERMS
KEY SAFETY ITEMS
Overview of Owner’s Manual
EXCEEDING THE LOAD LIMITS FOR THE BUNKS MAY
RESULT IN FAILURE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY.

12
EGRESS WINDOWS
Egress or “Emergency Exit” windows are labeled from the factory with the word EXIT. All
Egress windows can be distinguished by red operational handles or levers. Dependent upon
the window type, an egress window may be a large section or an entire window. Review the
locations and operational instructions posted upon the window with all people staying in the RV.
EXTINGUISHER
Each Ember Recreational Vehicle includes a fire extinguisher which is located near the main
entry door. The fire extinguishers are rated for Class B (gasoline, grease, and flammable liquids)
and Class C (electrical) fires. Check the extinguisher weekly. If the fill gauge is in the red, replace
the unit immediately. Also check tamper seals and replace if missing or damaged. Please refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for additional details on care and operation.
SMOKE DETECTOR
For your safety a smoke detector is installed in every RV. Some may have multiple devices.
Most detectors are powered by a 9-volt battery. If the detector begins to beep regularly, replace
the battery. Check the manufacturer requirements for acceptable replacements. At least once
a week, test the alarm and clean the unit with a vacuum and a dry rag. Never use water or
solvents because this may cause damage. Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
additional details on care and operation.
PROPANE GAS / CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
One of the key safety features of your Ember is the propane gas and carbon
monoxide detector located near the floor in the living area. Please read the
owner’s manual for operations and maintenance.
If the detector senses the presence of LP gas, the light will turn from green to
red, accompanied by constant beeps.
ENSURE EVERYONE IN YOUR RV IS FAMILIAR WITH THE
OPERATION AND LOCATION OF ALL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
FIGURE 1:
RV SAFE USER’S
MANUAL

IN THE EVENT OF AN ALARM:
1. IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE ALL OCCUPANTS FROM THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE.
2. SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE TANK.
3. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS AND ALL SMOKING MATERIAL.
4. TURN OFF YOUR GENERATOR.
5. DO NOT TOUCH ANY ELECTRICAL SWITCHES IN OR NEAR THE RV.
6. OPEN DOORS AND WINDOWS TO VENTILATE.
7. DO NOT USE THE RANGE HOOD OR OTHER POWER VENTS.
8. THE ALARM WILL CONTINUE TO SOUND IF LP GAS IS DETECTED OR UNTIL
TURNED OFF.
9. CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR REPAIRS.
10. IF YOU CANNOT REACH A GAS SUPPLIER OR QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN,
CONTACT THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT.
11. HAVE THE LEAKAGE SOURCE CORRECTED BEFORE USING AGAIN.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Conditions that could adversely affect your alarm:
• Exposure to water, splashes, spray, and condensation
• Excessive dust or grease
• Cleaning supplies, chemical sprays, and perfume products
• Do not paint the alarm. Paint can block air flow to the sensor
• Silicone adhesives including hair sprays
• Corrosive liquids such as acids
• Alkaline base metals, like salt spray
• High concentrations of Hydrogen
• Closed interior doors or other obstructions blocking gases from reaching the alarm
MAINTAINING YOUR ALARM
Verify proper alarm function by pressing the Silence/Test button after storage, before
every use, and once per week during extended use. Vacuum the alarm with a soft brush
attachment to remove dust monthly.
Additional information on this critical safety component is available in the “Propane
System” section of this manual.

14
Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
1. Open an overhead vent or turn on an exhaust fan.
2. Open a window.
A warning label is 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) will avoid dangers of asphyxiation.
SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR LP
Your Ember RV uses pressurized propane gas and, as such, requires that you as the owner
be made aware of the risks involved. The following warnings are posted throughout your
recreational vehicle to provide information on LP gas safety. They have been installed
not only because of the requirement to do so, but also as a reminder to occupants of
the recreational vehicle to exercise proper caution when using or being around LP gas
appliances and equipment. We list several safety procedures here for you to study. Be sure
that you and your family understand and follow them.
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR
STORED INSIDE THE LIVING AREA OF A RECREATIONAL
VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICES WHICH
RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
PROPANE POWERED APPLIANCES PRODUCE CARBON
MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BE FATAL!
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR
COMFORT HEATING.
IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THAT COOKING
APPLIANCES NOT BE USED FOR COMFORT HEATING
AS THE DANGER OF ASPHYXIATION AND/OR CARBON MONXIDE POISONING IS
GREATER WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS USED FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME.

15
If you smell gas:
• 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.
• DO NOT USE THE RANGE HOOD.
• Leave the area until the odor clears.
• Have the system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire safety is an important part of owning a recreational vehicle. The following basic rules
of fire prevention can help eliminate the possibility of a fire.
1. Never store flammable liquids in the recreational vehicle.
2. Never leave cooking food unattended.
3. Never smoke in bed and always use an ashtray.
4. Never allow children to play with LP gas or electrical equipment.
5. Never use an open flame as a flashlight.
6. Have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components repaired immediately.
7. Never overload electrical circuits.
8. Locate any LP leaks and have them repaired immediately.
9. Keep cooking surfaces clean and free from debris.
10. Don’t allow rubbish to accumulate.
11. Never clean with a flammable substance.
12. Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant.
13. Be sure everyone in your RV is familiar with the location of the exits including
the emergency exit.
DO NOT FILL LP GAS CONTAINERS TO MORE THAN
80% CAPACITY.
DO NOT STORE LP GAS CONTAINERS, GASOLINE, OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.

16
ENSURE EVERYONE IN YOUR RV IS FAMILIAR WITH THE
OPERATION AND LOCATION OF ALL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
USE ONLY THE APPROVED FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO
PUT OUT A FIRE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE WATER.
WATER MAY SPREAD CERTAIN TYPES OF FIRE AS WELL AS INCREASE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF ELECTROCUTION.
Use the ‘PASS’ method. Familiarize yourself and all RV
occupants with this procedure:
1. Pull the pin. (Some extinguishers may have a
cartridge that you need to push).
2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
3. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
4. Spray the base of the fire. (If you aim at the flames,
you won’t extinguish the fire).
In the event of a fire, get everyone outside, then determine if you should attempt to
extinguish the fire. If it is a large fire or a chemical fire, DO NOT HESITATE! Leave the
vehicle immediately and call the fire department.
If you decide it is safe to fight a fire with an extinguisher:
1. Remove the tamper tape which covers the discharge push button.
(Do not shake).
2. Hold it upright and stand six to ten feet from the fire, with a clear path to an exit.
3. Press the button down completely, aiming at the base of the fire, and spray with
a quick side to side sweeping motion.
AVOID INHALING THE DRY CHEMICALS FROM THE FIRE
EXTINGUISHER. ALTHOUGH NON-TOXIC, THEY COULD
CAUSE TEMPORARY IRRITATION. WHEN THE FIRE IS OUT, CLEAN THE AREA AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. THE DRY CHEMICALS MAY CAUSE SURFACE DAMAGE IF LEFT TOO LONG.

17
LP GAS REGULATORS MUST ALWAYS BE INSTALLED
WITH THE DIAPHRAGM VENT FACING DOWNWARD.
REGULATORS THAT ARE NOT IN COMPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH A
PROTECTIVE COVER. BE SURE THAT THE REGULATOR VENT FACES DOWNWARD
AND THE COVER IS KEPT IN PLACE TO MINIMIZE VENT BLOCKAGE WHICH COULD
RESULT IN EXCESSIVE GAS PRESSURE CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
PORTABLE FUEL BURNING EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING
WOOD OR CHARCOAL BURNING GRILLS AND STOVES,
SHALL NOT BE USED INSIDE THE RV. DOING SO MAY CAUSE A FIRE, EXPLOSION,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, OR ASPHYXIATION.

Before leaving on your first trip with your new Ember Recreational Vehicle, read the
information in this manual very carefully. After reading through the manual, run through
the following checklist at least once.
PRE-TRIP CHECKLIST
LOADING
Properly load and secure your trailer by carefully and evenly distributing the weight,
properly following add-on equipment (Thule, Yakima, etc.) guidelines, and not
exceeding the overall weight. (See Towing Guidelines)
WHEEL LUG NUTS
Check the torque on your wheels before your first trip. Recheck them at 25- and
50-mile intervals to be sure they remain secure.
TIRE INFLATION
Tires leave the dealer at the recommended pressure as indicated on the tire sidewall.
To help ensure that you don’t run into premature or uneven tire wear, always check
the tire pressure before heading out on the road.
VERSACOUPLER™
Check that the VersaCoupler™ is securely latched to the tow vehicle’s ball hitch.
Inspect the bolts to ensure they are tight and no play exists in the assembly.
SAFETY CHAINS
Check that safety chains are attached to your tow vehicle.
ELECTRICAL
Attach the 7-way connector to the tow vehicle’s mating electrical outlet. Check to
see that all camping trailer lights are functioning properly.
Pre-Trip Preparation

19
EXTERIOR
Close the valves on the LP bottles.
Empty gray/black holding tanks.
Inspect all exterior baggage doors and ensure they are secured for travel.
Inspect the Gear Box and ensure the LP canisters and batteries are secure.
Ensure the lid is fastened.
Inspect tires and check the pressures.
Check the torque on the wheel lug nuts.
Inspect the awning to ensure it is properly retracted and secured.
Turn the battery disconnect on.
Remove all snow from the roof.
Disengage the wheel brake.
Disconnect all park connections and securely store.
INTERIOR
Close all vents and windows.
Retract all slide rooms.
Inspect the interior of the RV to ensure all doors, including the refrigerator,
are closed and secured.
Verify that all safety devices are in working condition.
Engage the deadbolt on the entrance door for travel.
TOOL KIT ITEMS
Before leaving on your first trip, it is a good idea to put together your own tool kit that
contains the following items:
¾-inch lug wrench or ¾-inch socket (for lug nuts)
Socket set with metric sockets (10, 13, and 17mm)
Tire pressure gauge
Phillips head screwdriver
Small level
Pliers
Adjustable wrench (1-inch standard)
Metric hex set (4, 5, and 6mm)
Spare key to storage box
Electrical tape
Duct tape
Repair kits for tent and mattress pads

20
HITCHING
Ember RVs are equipped standard with a 2 5/16” or 2” diameter
ball type hitch mounted in a variable height coupler referred
to as a VersaCoupler™ Hitching System. The compatible ball
size is stamped on the rear of the coupler. The figures below
demonstrate how to change coupler height.
Use of any other sized hitch ball than what is compatible with your
VersaCoupler™ can create an extremely dangerous condition that
can result in separation of the coupler and ball, and/or hitch ball
failure. If you so choose, there are numerous trailer hitches and
hitching components available to you for your trailer after market,
separate from Ember. Be sure to consult with your tow vehicle
manufacturer for hitch and/or hitch assembly alternatives.
PRE-HITCH/COUPLING/TRIP CONSIDERATIONS AND INSPECTION
Be sure your hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
of your trailer. Remember that the hitch load rating must be equal to or greater than the
coupler load (the hitch is attached to the towing vehicle, the coupler to the trailer). Be
sure the hitch size matches the coupler size. All Ember Touring Edition floorplans require
a Class 3 or Class 4 Hitch.
Examine all hitch components before hitching. Look for wear, corrosion, deformations,
stripping, and cracks. Replace worn, corroded, or cracked hitch components before
coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle. Be sure the hitch components are tight and
that the ball-locking device works freely before coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle.
