Introduction
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
ANDTIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system
of
this
vehicle was accurately aligned at the factory
before delivery to the dealership_ However, after
you have fully loaded the vehicle according to
your personal needs, have the alignment
checked and adjusted,
if
necessary.
To
help pre-
vent uneven tire wear, check the front-end align-
ment periodically_
Please note thatfront-end alignment after
retail delivery is the owner's responsibility
and
is
not
covered under the warranty.

Introduction
Excessive or abnormal tire wear may indicate
worn or misaligned suspension or steering com-
ponents, unbalanced or improperly inflated
tire(s) or some other tire/suspension problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/sus-
pension parts
or
road hazards such as hitting a
curb, pothole, railroad track, etc. Improper
alignment can cause tires to roll at an angle and
wear unevenly.
It
may also cause the vehicle to
"pull" to the right
or
left.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
will cause annoying vibrations and uneven tread
wear such as cupping or flat spots.
If
you see
uneven tire tread wear or
if
the vehicle ride
comfort decreases, the tires may need to be
balanced.
See the Chassis Operator's/Owner's Guide/
Manual for more information.
AFTER-MARKET STEERING AID
DEVICES
Fleetwood does not sanction or condone the
installation
of
any steering aid device that is not
approved by our chassis manufacturer's. Any
add-on device
of
this type may void the chassis
manufacturer's warranty on the item or items
affected.
WARNINGS,TERMS AND
CONCEPTS FOR SAFE
OPERATION OFYOUR MOTOR
HOME
Vehicle Crash
01-4
Like any other vehicle you may drive, your
motor home can be involved in a vehicle
crash, including a rollover. The motor home
will be damaged and you and others can be
injured or killed. Drive defensively at all
times. DO
NOT
drive
if
you are tired, have
been drinking alcoholic beverages, are under
the influence
of
any controlled substance, or
are taking any medication or drugs that may
impair your sight, hearing, judgment or coor-
dination. Pull off the road and park in a safe
area until you can drive safely.
Vehicle Handling
Your motor home is longer, wider and
higher than a typical car or truck you may
be accustomed to driving. Keep this in
mind as you become familiar with driving
your motor home. New motor home own-
ers should take special care to learn the
driving and handling characteristics
of
your
vehicle in safe and familiar surroundings.
The distribution
of
the weight
of
your
motor home is designed so it will handle
safely while being driven.
• When loading the motor home, balance
the loadfront-to-rear
and
side-to-side.
• Load
and
secure heavier items lower in
the storage areas than lighter items.
If
you fail to properly load your belongings and
supplies, you will defeat the load distribution
design
of
the motor home, possibly leading to
handling problems and a vehicle crash.
Vehicle Response
When you, the driver, accelerate, brake
or
steer the motor home, it responds to these
inputs.
If
you are faced with an emergency
while driving, the way you respond to the
emergency and the way the motor home
responds becomes more critical.
If
you
load, alter or maintain your motor home
improperly,
it
will not respond as it did
when you first received it in an unloaded
condition. Improper loading, alteration,
maintenance
and
improper driver
responses to emergency conditions can
lead to handlingproblems and vehicle
crashes.
Vehicle Towing
Your motor home can be equipped with a
hitch designed to allow you to tow vehicles
or other loads behind your motor home.
The maximum amount
of
weight your
motor home can pull or stop is determined
by the manufacturer
of
the chassis on
which your motor home is built. Check the
Chassis Operator'sIOwner's Guidel
Manual provided by the motor home chas-
sis manufacturer for the limits on the
weight you can tow.
til
NOTE I
In
most cases the GCWR
of
the chassis and the fin-
ished motor home are the same.
In
some cases, due
to
the equipped hitch receiver, the GCWR may be
reduced. Please refer to the Cargo Carrying Capacity
Tag
posted
in
your motorhome for the rated GCWR.
If
the Chassis Operator'sIOwner's Guidel
Manual equipped with your motor home
does not provide specific information on
towing weight limits, it is strongly
recommended that the towed vehicle or
trailer be equipped with a properly installed
and operating supplemental brake control
system that operates in combination with
the brakes on your motor home.
o
You
may be able to increase the weight
of
any towed load by properly installing on the
towed load a supplemental brake control
system that operates with your motor
home's braking system. Even with addi-
tional brakes, you cannot tow more than the
GTW or GCWR for the chassis under your
motor home. Again, check the Chassis
Operator'sIOwner's GuidelManuaL
o
You
CANNOT increase the towed weight
limit by changing the size
of
your hitch.
o Properly load what you tow to avoid a
vehicle crash.
o
Do
not
attempt to tow something that is
too heavy for your chassis.
o
When
driving
in
mountainous
areas,
look
for
and
obey highway signs con-
cerning
grades
and
curves. Your driving
experience when pulling and stopping a
Introduction
towed unit on mountain roads will
be
very
different from what you experience on
level ground.
o State laws in the United States and provin-
ciallaws in Canada vary concerning towing
requirements and limits. Check the laws in
the areas where you anticipate traveling.
Alterations
to
Your Motor Home
Many motor home owners like
to
add a
personal touch
to
their motor home. But
there is a difference between changing how
your motor home looks versus how it
handles or responds to driver inputs.
If
you
expect to make any type
of
alteration to
your motor home, consult a professional
who understands the correct way to do the
alteration and how the alteration will
change or affect the stability, handling,
vehicle response, and overall performance
and safety
of
your motor home.
An
improper alteration that affects vehicle
handling
or
response can cause a vehicle
crash, andany improper alteration to the
electrical
or
Propane systems can cause a
fire
and
can endanger
your
motor home
and
its occupants. Fleetwood, your chassis
and other manufacturers stand behind the
motor home as delivered -
NOT
as altered
by someone else.
Warning Devices
Your motor home is equipped with warning
devices. Check them before a trip for
proper operation. A disabled warning
device cannot warn you or vehicle occu-
pants
of
a life-threatening danger. Keep
them working and respond to them quickly.
Examples
of
These Devices Include:
o Carbon Monoxide Detector!Alarm
o Propane Detector!Alarm
o Smoke Detector!Alarm
o Seat Belt Warnings
o Hazard Flashers

Motor homes equipped with driver/passenger
airbags, Navigational or Vehicle Avoidance
Systems and/or equipped with certain other
electronic devices may be equipped with event
data recording capabilities.
Your motor home is built on a vehicle chassis
supplied by an automotive manufacturer. For
diagnostic and safety related reasons, this
chassis comes equipped with electronic modules
(devices).

Certain electronic modules have the capability
to record information about the vehicle, driver,
and passenger such
as
engine performance,
braking performance, vehicle location, vehicle
speed, and occupant seat belt use, or other data.
The data stored in the electronic modules may
be
retrieved by authorized parties using special-
ized equipment, for vehicle diagnostic or acci-
dent investigation purposes.
Please refer to the chassis manufacturer owner's

WARRANTIES
Your motor home is covered by one
of
the most
comprehensive warranty programs in the
RV
industry. Please refer to the warranty in this sec-
tion.
It
explains your rights and obligations,
as
well as the rights and obligations
of
the dealer
and manufacturer. Please read this section care-
fully. You will be better informed in case you
have a warranty-related problem, and your
dealer will be better able to get you on the road
again.
If
you have any questions about the war-
ranty
or
what it does
or
does not cover, please
contact your dealer.
The materials in your Owner's Information
Package contain warranty information and oper-
ating instructions on the various appliances and
components in your motor home. Warranty reg-
istration cards for these items should be filled
out and mailed as soon
as
possible after you
take delivery
of
your motor home.
If
you do not
have operating instructions for a particular
appliance
or
component, contact your dealer.
You will automatically receive an Ownercare
Card several weeks after the delivery receipt is
received from your selling dealer. This card is
imprinted with your name, the motor home serial
number, and manufacturing subsidiary location.
If
your motor home ever needs warranty service,
present this card to the dealer, or have it avail-
able when contacting Fleetwood's Owner
Relations Group.
The motor home has been thoroughly inspected
before shipment. Your dealer
is
responsible
for
performing a complete predelivery inspection
of
the motor home as specified in the
Ownercare delivery checkout.
As a part
of
the predelivery inspection proce-
dure, the dealer is responsible for road testing
the motor home, noting and correcting any
steering problems and setting correct tire pres-
sures before delivery.
Fleetwood
and
its subsidiaries will
not
be
responsible
for
front
end
alignment after this
Warranty
predelivery inspection has been performed.
You should return your motor home to the selling
dealer for warranty service.
If
this is not possible,
you may contact any other authorized Fleetwood
motor home dealer. The service department at
any
of
the locations listed at the back
of
this
manual can help you find a dealer in your area.
If, for some reason, a problem is not handled to
your satisfaction:
1.
Discuss any warranty-related problems
directly with the manager and/or owner
of
the dealership, giving them an opportunity
to help the service department resolve the
matter for you.
2.
If
a problem arises that has not been
resolved to your satisfaction by your local
dealer, contact Fleetwood Owner Relations.
The locations are listed in the back
of
this
manual. Please contact the one nearest you.
3.
We
sincerely believe that your dealer and the
factory representative will be able to solve
any problem which might arise.
If
their com-
bined efforts are not satisfactory, please send
a letter describing the circumstances to:
Fleetwood
Owner
Relations
P.O. Box 59933
Riverside,
CA
92517
Please include the brand name and serial
number
of
your motor home. The serial num-
ber is located on the identification tag next to
the entry door, and on your warranty card.

There may be times when your motor home will
need repairs
or
parts while you are on the road.
If
your motor home is repaired by a non-author-
ized repair facility (non-Fleetwood dealer), be
sure to save receipts and especially any parts
that are replaced. These parts will usually have
to
be
returned to your dealer before you can be
reimbursed for their cost.

Warranty
WARRANTY SERVICE
If
you need service or warranty information,
please see the booklets and other documents
included in your Owner's Information Package.
When contacting any
of
the equipment manu-
facturers, always have the model and serial
numbers available. Appliance identification
numbers will be found on tags or plates attached
to the appliance.
If
you ever need warranty work done, be sure
to
have the right papers with you.
If
required work
is not covered under the warranty, your dealer's
service department can help you with getting the
correct service. Always keep a maintenance log
of
your RV's service history.
Always make a written list
of
the RV's problems
or the specific work you want done.
If
you've had
work done that is not on your maintenance log,
let the service advisor know. Don't keep secrets.
And finally, be reasonable with requests.
If
you
have a long list
of
service items that need atten-
tion and you need your
RV
very soon, discuss
the situation with the service advisor, listing the
items in order
of
priority. This will help the
service department manage their time and will
help get you going as quickly as possible.
If
you have a warranty or service concern about
the chassis portion
of
your vehicle please be
aware that you may go directly to an authorized
chassis dealer for service. This may save you
time and effort as the chassis warranty is
administered by the chassis manufacturer.
Consult your area phone directory for an author-
ized dealer and make arrangements with their
service department.
If
you are unsure
if
the con-
cern is chassis related, feel free to contact your
Fleetwood dealer to assist you.
