EverGreen Recreational Vehicles LLC (“EverGreen RV”) warrants that it will repair or replace
defects in material or workmanship in any components of a recreation vehicle (“vehicle”)

of this Limited Warranty.
Thirty-Six (36) Month Limited Warranty
EverGreen RV warrants that it will repair or replace defects in the aluminum skeleton structure
of the floor, sidewalls, roof and front and rear walls of the vehicle for a period of thirty-six (36)

other terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty.
Terms and Conditions of Coverage

transferable to subsequent owners. EverGreen RV makes no warranties or representations other
than as set forth in this Limited Warranty. In order to obtain coverage under this Limited
Warranty, you must notify an authorized EverGreen RV dealership or EverGreen RV of the
warrantable issue no later than ten (10) days following expiration of this Limited Warranty.
Repair or replacement of defective components is the sole remedy under this Limited Warranty.

alter the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, and EverGreen RV shall not be bound
by any representations or warranties of its dealers, or any other person or entity.

is not permitted by applicable law, are limited in duration to the applicable term of this Limited
Warranty, and are limited in scope of coverage to the scope of coverage under the Limited Warranty.

permitted to administer some of the warranties on these components. Consult those
separate warranties for further information. Administration of those warranties does not

warranted by its respective manufacturer, and is administered separately from this
Limited Warranty;
3. Any recreation vehicle exported to, primarily used in, or licensed in a country other than

(including lost profits), towing charges, bus fares, vehicle rental, service call charges, gasoline expenses,
incidental charges such as telephone calls and facsimile transmissions, and expenses for lodging. This
disclaimer is independent of any failure of the essential purpose of any warranties provided to purchaser,
and shall survive any determination that a warranty failed of its essential purpose.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
YOUR OBLIGATIONS
The retail purchaser is responsible for normal maintenance, as described in owner’s manuals provided
with the vehicle. However, EverGreen RV will provide for minor adjustments, such as adjustments to
the slide-outs, interior or exterior doors, LP regulator pressure, cabinet latches, plumbing fittings, TV
antenna control, and voids in sealants, for the first ninety (90) days following delivery of the vehicle to
the original retail purchaser.
If an issue arises that you believe is covered by the Limited Warranty, you should contact an authorized
EverGreen RV dealer and give the dealer sufficient information to resolve the matter. If an authorized
EverGreen RV dealer is unable to resolve your issue, you should contact EverGreen RV directly, by
mail at 10758 CR 2, P O Box 52, Middlebury, Indiana 46540, by phone at 574-825-4298, or by

arrange for transportation of the vehicle to and from the authorized EverGreen RV dealership or the
EverGreen RV repair facility. This Limited Warranty does not cover on-site service calls.
It is your responsibility to notify an authorized EverGreen RV dealership, or EverGreen RV, of any
issue you believe to be covered by the Limited Warranty, in a timely manner. It is also your
responsibility to take reasonable measures to protect the vehicle from further damage due to any defect
that arises.
If you believe that an issue has arisen with respect to the vehicle that is not covered by this Limited
Warranty but is covered by the warranty of another manufacturer, you should review the warranty and
other materials provided to you by that manufacturer in order to determine the procedure to be followed
in order to obtain warranty coverage under that manufacturer’s warranty. If you are unable to obtain
contact information for that manufacturer, an authorized EverGreen RV dealer or EverGreen RV will
supply that information to you.

13
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
No action may be brought against EverGreen RV for breach of this Limited Warranty, any applicable
implied warranty, or for any other claim relating to the vehicle, more than thirty (30) days after the
expiration of a limited warranty period. In the event both warranty periods are relevant to any claim, the
thirty (30) day period provided for herein shall begin to run, as to any particular component to which the
claim relates, at the end of the limited warranty period for that particular component.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE
OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.

BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
In an effort to maximize your enjoyment with the new RV, We suggest you become familiar with the RV by initially
planning an entire weekend of camping in your driveway or in close proximity of your home. This arrangement will allow
you the opportunity to become accustomed to the vehicle as well as learning which supplies and equipment are needed or not
needed during use of the RV. During this “break-in” period, please note any operational questions or difficulties you have
encountered. These questions can them be directed to your dealer or to EverGreen RV for response prior to you next
camping event.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow passengers to ride inside the trailer when traveling. The RV is not designed with the
necessary seat belts and may be illegal for passenger transport in most states. Failing to heed this
warning may result in serious injury or death.

17
EXIT WINDOW
Dependent upon your specific floor plan configuration, your RV will be equipped with exit or egress
window(s). These windows have an “exit” label directly adjacent to the window and are also easily
recognizable by the interior handles or latches which are red in color. These windows are designed to
allow emergency exit of the occupants in the event of a fire or similar occurrence. To open, rotate the
handles inward and then pivot the window and glass outward on the top hinge. Review the exit window
operation and location with all passengers prior to each trip.
Please use extreme caution when using any propane appliance and when attaching or detaching
the propane bottles from the RV. Improper handling of propane and propane system may result
in serious injury or death.
PROPANE SAFETY
•The gas system in your RV is designed for use with Propane (LPG) gases only, do not use or connect to natural gas.
•Do not smoke cigarette, pipes, or cigars, or provide any open flame in the general area of the propane tanks when
attaching/detaching the tanks.
•Propane tanks may only be filled by trained personnel in accordance with NFPA Pamphlet 58, and all local or state
codes and regulations.
•Remain at least 30 feet away from the propane filling station during the filling process.
•Do not allow the propane tanks to be filled to more than 80% capacity.
•Do not use cooking appliances for comfort heating.
•Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Open window or vent prior to operating propane supplied
stove or range. Failure to provide adequate fresh air supply can result in elevated carbon monoxide levels and
asphyxiation.
•If at any time you smell propane;
1. Immediately extinguish all smoking materials, open flames, and pilot lights.
2. Do not touch any electrical switches or components as arcing may occur.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the propane tank by turning the valve clockwise.
4. Open all entry doors and windows.
5. Do not use the power range hood or power roof vents.
6. Clear the area until the propane odor is no longer apparent.
7. Have the propane systems checked prior to again using the propane system.
•Do not store, transport or place propane cylinders inside the RV.
•Verify all appliances and appliance gas valves are turned off prior to opening the main valve on the main propane
supply tanks.
•Verify the propane regulator vent is clear and free of obstruction.
•Do not modify the factory installed propane system.
•Maintenance of the propane system is only to be performed by personnel qualified and trained in propane gas
systems.
•Verify each month that burners and orifices of the propane appliances are clean and free of obstructions. Note;
certain insects such as wasps, can build nests in the burner tubes of the appliances. These systems should be
checked at a repair facility at least yearly and any time the appliance appears to be burning improperly.
•Never use a flame to check for propane leaks.
•Unless trained and certified, do not attempt adjustment of a propane regulator or adjustment of a propane appliance.
•The hose from the regulator must be capped when removing the propane cylinder.
•Always extinguish all pilots, gas fired appliances and turn off the main LP supply valve at the supply tank prior to
pulling into a propane or gasoline fill station.

18
Please be cautious if handling or repairing electrical appliances and components. Unless trained,
always utilize the services of a qualified electrician to inspect and repair electrical components.
Serious injury or death may result from improper handling or repair of electrical components and
appliances.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Never overload electrical circuits.
•Do not use extension cords between the RV shore power cord and the power source.
•Use 15 amp/30 amp and 30amp/50amp cord adapters only in extreme emergencies.
•Be aware that use of power cord adapters may result in insufficient supply of power to the RV resulting in
overheating of electrical components and potential failure of the components. This type of failure is excluded
from warranty coverage.
•Always promptly repair faulty or damaged wiring and components.
•Use a trained and certified electrician for installation of any shore power cord receptacle. Improper installation
will result in failure of the electrical components in the RV.
•Never connect the RV to an ungrounded receptacle.
Improper storage or handling of combustible materials may result in a fire causing serious injury
or death.
FIRE SAFETY
•Do not store gasoline, propane, or other flammable liquids or gases in the RV.
•Never smoke in bed and always use an ashtray.
•Portable fuel burning equipment such as gas grills should never be used inside the RV.
•Never leave food unattended on the stove.
•Do not clean the interior of the RV with a flammable material.
SMOKE DETECTOR
A smoke detector has been installed in your RV as a safety precaution. The smoke detector offers a range of smoke
detection, however a smoke detector has limitations in that as in a residential home, a fire can start in an area in which smoke
is delayed or prevented from reaching the detector. The smoke detector is also not a substitute for appropriate fire safety.
The smoke detector requires little maintenance; however the following procedures must be routinely performed:
1. TEST the alarm weekly by firmly pressing the “test” button. Replace the battery if the alarm does not sound.
Replace the smoke detector if the alarm fails to activate in test mode after battery replacement.
2. Clean dust from the smoke detector using a vacuum with soft brush attachment.
3. DO NOT DISABLE THE SMOKE DETECTOR.
4. Do not attempt to make repairs to the smoke detector.
5. Review additional instruction provide with your specific smoke detector.
Note: The smoke alarm will “chirp” if the battery is low. Replace the battery if the chirping sound is heard.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
Your recreational vehicle is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. This alarm is designed to operate when detecting
CO at the alarm. This detector will not detect propane gas or other gases.
Common sources of CO include malfunctioning or misuse of gas appliances, operation of generators at or near your RV.
The following maintenance procedures must be performed routinely:
1. TEST the CO alarm weekly and before each trip by pressing the “test” button.
2. Clean dust from the detector using a vacuum with soft brush attachment.
Carbon Monoxide Detector tips
•Read the carbon monoxide detectors owners manual which has been supplied with your Recreational Vehicle.
•Avoid use of hair spray, paint, nail polish, and aerosols, near the detector.
•Do not paint the detector.
•Do not place a diaper pail near the detector.
•Inform children and occupants of the dangers involved with CO poisoning.
Indications of CO poisoning include, but are not limited to:
Mild Exposure
•Symptoms of the flu (minus a fever)
•Slight headache
•Dizziness
•Fatigue
Medium Exposure
•Severe throbbing headache
•Drowsiness
•Confusion
•Fast heart rate
Extreme Exposure
•Unconsciousness
•Convulsions
•Cardio respiratory Failure
•Death
Carbon Monoxide can be fatal. If the alarm sounds, provide ventilation by opening the entry door,
windows, and roof vents, then immediately exit the RV until such time the alarm no longer sounds
and the RV has been inspected and approved by a qualified inspector. Failure to exit the RV may
result in serious injury or death.
The Carbon Monoxide detector is powered from the deep cycle 12-volt battery and/or the 120-volt shore power cord. The
detector will not function unless the RV is supplied with power from either the shore cord or a known quality 12-volt battery.
Battery voltage below 10 volts will prevent proper operation of the Carbon Monoxide detector. Consult the Carbon
Monoxide detector owner’s manual for specific operational information regarding the detector located in your RV.
Never run an engine and/or generator unless you are certain the exhaust gases are safely dispersed into the atmosphere. Do
not sleep in the RV while your generator is running or when a generator is running in close proximity to your RV. Always be
certain that exhaust pipes are unobstructed and windows near any exhaust source are closed.
Prior to each trip, inspect the exterior venting of your furnace and water heater to insure the exhaust ports remain
unobstructed.

PROPANE GAS DETECTOR
Your RV is equipped with a propane detector which is designed to alarm when detecting propane gas inside the RV. The
detector will provide audible and visual alarm when detecting propane gas. The following maintenance procedures must be
routinely performed:
1. Test the detector weekly and prior to every trip. The detector is tested by pressing the “test” button.
2. Clean dust from the detector using a vacuum with soft brush attachment.
The propane detector is powered by the 12-volt deep cycle battery which powers the entire 12-volt system in the RV. The
detector will only function when 12-volt battery power is 8-9 volts or greater. The detector will not function when voltage
dropped below 8-9 volt minimum voltage threshold. Please make certain the 12-volt deep cycle battery is properly
maintained and fully charged. The propane detector will not function without adequate 12-volt power from the battery.
Refer to the owner’s manual provided with the Propane detector for specific instruction and operational information.
Do not use hairspray or other such aerosols around the detector.
If propane alarm activates:
1. Immediately extinguish all smoking materials, open flames, and pilot lights.
2. Do not touch any electrical switches or components as arcing may occur.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the propane tank by turning the valve clockwise.
4. Open all entry doors and windows.
5. Do not use the power range hood or power roof vents.
6. Clear the area until the propane odor is no longer apparent.
8. Have the propane systems checked prior to again using the propane system.
See the “propane” section of this manual for additional information regarding the propane system.
Do not test for propane leaks using a lighter or flame as serious injury or death may result.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER OPERATION
Fire extinguishers are classed into three categories:
Class A: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving grease, oil, gasoline, kerosene, and other
flammable liquids.
Class C: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires in live electrical equipment.
Your RV is equipped with a category B/C fire extinguisher located near the entrance door. These extinguishers are designed
to for use in small fires that have just started and are small enough to fight safely. It is not designed to fight large fires which
are burning out of control. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet, do not try to fight it yourself. Warn
everyone, evacuate the premises, and have someone contact the fire department. Trying to fight a large fire by yourself can
result in injury or death.
To fight a fire:
•Remove extinguisher from the mounting bracket.
•Hold the unit firmly with the nozzle facing away from you. Pull out the pin to break the safety seal; you won’t be
able to squeeze the lever until the safety seal is removed.
•Stand back 6 feet (2 meters) from the fire and make sure the fire is not between you and the exit.
•Hold the extinguisher upright and aim nozzle at the base of fire.
•Squeeze and hold the lever to discharge the powder.
•Sweep the spray at the base of the burning material, using quick side-to-side motions. (if the spray scatters the fire
move back).
•Move slowly towards the fire as the extinguisher spray pushes the fire back. Maintain a (six) 6 foot distance between
you and the front of the fire at all times.

21
•Completely discharge the contents of the extinguisher and make sure the fire is completely out. Flashbacks are
common with fires.
•For kitchen fires on a kitchen stove, turn off the stove immediately if possible; otherwise turn it off as soon as it is
safe.
•If you suspect a fire had an electric origin, shut off electric power, if possible, without eliminating your escape route.
Do not touch electrical wires or appliances.
•After you have completely discharged your extinguisher, leave the RV and close the doors behind you.
•Do not reconnect the RV to an electrical power source or use the RV until a qualified inspector has verified the
vehicle is safe to use.
See fire extinguisher manual for additional information regarding your specific fire extinguisher.
DRIVING SAFETY
Driving a tow vehicle while pulling a trailer is substantially different from driving a passenger car in that one must always be
mindful of the overall combined weight and length of the vehicles. The following tips will assist you in safe operation of the
combination vehicle.
•It is recommended you use a large parking lot as a practice area to become familiar with the turning and stopping
characteristics of your tow vehicle and trailer.
•Always apply turn signals in advance prior to making a turn or changing lanes. Start out slowly, swinging wide at
the turns, while constantly monitoring of all sides of the RV. Turns should be taken at slow speeds. Remember that
the trailer wheels do not directly follow the path of your tow vehicle’s wheels. The trailer will follow a path closer
to the inside of a turn than the tow vehicle.
•Avoid abrupt starting, stopping, or turning of the RV as one may potentially loose control in those situations;
especially when driving in reduced traction situations such as in rainy, icy, or snowy conditions.
•Remember that your stopping distance will be substantially lengthened due to weight and length of the vehicle. Do
not “tailgate”, look ahead and anticipate slowing or stopped traffic.
•Be cautious when passing or being passed by large vehicles such as trucks or buses, as air turbulence can cause
swaying of the trailer. Do not overcompensate in your steering when you feel the swaying of the trailer.
•Only drive at speeds comfortable to you and appropriate for the weather, road conditions, and road grade. Do not
exceed posted speed limits for combination vehicles.
•Avoid getting close to a dirt shoulder of the highway as it may not support the weight of your vehicle.
•Always check posted heights of bridges and other overhead obstacles. Remember that posted clearances may not be
accurate due to repaving of the roadway or packed snow, etc.
•If the trailer begins to move side-to-side or “fishtail”, do not panic and do not jam on the brakes; immediately
decelerate, steering as little as possible to maintain control, and coast to a slower speed. If the “fishtail” reoccurs
when speeding up, pull off to a safe area and inspect your weight distribution. It is possible too little weight has
been placed in the area of the hitch assembly. Review the weight distribution section of this manual and rearrange
the weight to meets proper weight distribution criteria.
•Use extreme caution when proceeding downhill. It may be advisable to shift your tow vehicle into a lower gear
when descending hills and mountains to provide additional braking power. Consult your tow vehicle owner’s
manual for further instruction.
•Never allow a person or pet to ride in the trailer while trailer is in-motion.
•If encountering a flat tire, do not panic and jam on the brakes; reduce speed and coast to the side of the roadway.
Park in a safe location and proceed with a tire replacement.
•Back slowly and use a helper when backing the trailer as the helper can see obstacles not visible to the driver.
DRIVING EMERGENCIES
During an accident, tire blowout, or similar emergency, use gentle braking techniques and pull off the traveled roadway to a
safe location. Set the parking brake, turn on the hazard flashers and if along the roadway, display flares or hazard warning
triangles. Typical placement of flares or reflective triangles is 10’, 100’, and 200’ from the rear of vehicle when on a divided
highway or one-way road. A road with traffic traveling in both directions require placement of the flares or triangles at 10’,
100’, and 200’ at the front of vehicle in addition to same placement at rear of vehicle. Hilly, curvy roads require placement
of warning in locations in which on coming traffic has adequate advance warnings. Please refer to your state’s driver manual
for further clarification of warning devise placement.
