SAFETY REGULATIONS REGARDING LP GAS
SYSTEMS AND LP GAS APPLIANCES
The manufacturer of this recreational vehicle is required to furnish the following consumer information as provided by
the National Fire Protection Association and the American National Standards Institute, The information and warnings
found here may also be found in otherchapters ofthis Owner's Manual. Please see chapters titled "LP GAS SYSTEM"
and "APPLIANCES" for other safety and operating information.
WARNING
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE
EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICES WHICH RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS TO THE
ATMOSPHERE.
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.
THIS
WARNING LABEL HAS BEEN LOCATED 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. IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
THAT COOKING APPLIANCES NOT BE USED FOR COMFORT HEATING AS THE DANGER OF ASPHYXIATION
IS GREATER WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS USED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
WARNING
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING WOOD AND CHARCOAL GRILLS AND STOVES, SHALL
NOT BE USED INSIDE THIS RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE RECREA-
TIONAL VEHICLE MAY CAUSE FIRES OR ASPHYXIATION.
WARNING
DO NOT BRING OR STORE LP GAS CONTAINERS, GASOLINE, OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE
VEHICLE BECAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.
Awarning label has been located nearthe LP gas container. Thislabel reads: DO NOTFILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE
THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overiilling 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.
The following label has been placed in the vehicle near the range:
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut oft 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 regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in
compartments have been equipped with a protectIve cover. Make sure that regulatorvent facesdownward and the cover
is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

MOTOR HOME LOADING
Your motorhome chassis is designed to carry a certain
maximumload.Thisloadincludeseverything;theweight
of the motor home itself, all occumpants and their
belongings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything
else that may be in or attached to the motor home.
The maximum load for which the motor home is de-
signed is called the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RAT-
ING (GVWR). Modifications to your motor home, i.e.,
changing tires or spring load capacities, will not in any
way increase this rating or the axle ratings.
Another critical weight factor is the GROSS AXLE
WEIGHTRATING (GAWR).Thisisthemaximumweight
aspecificaxle isdesignedtocarry.Each axle hasitsown
GAWR. The GAWR's do not necessarily add up to the
GVWR.
The GVWR and the GAWR for your motor home are
shown on the Federal certificationtag located on the left
interior sidewall of the driver compartment.
OtherimportantweightfactorsaretheTRAILERHITCH
RATING and the GROSS COMBINED WEIGHT
RAT-
ING (GCWR).The trailer hitch rating is the maxiumum
load the hitch and motor home structure is designed to
accomodate. Changes to the hitch will not increase this
rating.The GCWR is the maximum weight
of the loaded
motor home and the loaded towed vehicle. These rat-
ings are shown on the wardrobe door tag.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEEDTHE RATED LOAD OFTHE

ON THE ROAD
Carrying Capacity
Duringthe design and development of Fleetwood motor
homes, the numberand size of storage compartments,
the liquid tank capacities and numberof belted seating
positions are optimized for value and convenience. If
you fill all liquidtankstocapacity, fill all storagecompart-
ments and cupboards to maximum volume and fill all
available seating positions with passengers, the motor
home will be overloaded.
You are responsible for analyzing the conditions under
which the motor home will be used for each trip. The
number
of passengers and placement of cargo will
affect the amount of waterand cargo that you can carry
(see "Loading
Tips").
NOTE:Carrying capacities of yourmotorhome
are specified on a label affixed to the inside
of
a wardrobe door. The label includes allfactory
installed options.
If other equipment such as
leveling jacks, awnings, roof pods, etc., are
installed after the motorhome leaves the fac-
tory, the weight of these items must be sub-
tracted from the total of the passenger and
cargo carrying capacities.
Weighing Your Loaded Motor Home
Refer to your local telephone directory to find a public
weigh station. The following weighing procedures will
help you determine whether your loaded motor home
(complete with cargo, fluids, passengers, driver and
towed vehicle) is within GAWR, GVWR and GCWR
limits.When you arrive at a weigh station, the attendant
will guide you through the correct positioning of the
motor home on the scales.
1. Center the front wheels on the scale and take a
reading.This isthefront GrossAxleWeight (Reading 1).

2. Centerthe vehicle (all axles) on the scale and take a
reading. This is the Gross Vehicle Weight (Reading 2).
3. Center both rear axles on the scale and take a
reading. This reading is the rear Gross Axle Weight for
motor homes with tag axles (Reading 3).
4. Center the towed vehicle on the scale and take a
reading (Reading 4).

in comparing weights.
MOTOR HOME READINGS
If any readings are higher than the rating, adjust or
remove the load.
EXCEEDING WEIGHT RATINGS WILL:
Causedamage to the motorhome, drive train orchassis;
Cause unstable driving andhandling characteristics;
Cause unsafe braking;
Reduce your warranty protection.
Periodicallyreweighyourmotorhomeandlogtheweights
in the backofthis manual to help loading forfuture trips.
Loading and weight patterns will change according to
use.
NOTE: Some states and provinces require
brakes and safety chains on towed vehicles.
Consult the proper authorities in the states or
provinces through which you will be traveling.
LoadingTips
Do not load heavy items in upper cabinets.
Secure and brace items so they won't move during
travel, thereby shifitng the load.
Do not load heavy items near either end of the motor
home or
on the bumpers.
Adjust cargo storage to keep the side to side wheel
loads as equal as possible.
Water weighs 8.33 Ibs. per gallon. Carry only as much
water as needed for travel use or to balance the load.
Whenever possible, empty the holding tanks before
traveling.

Make a loading diagram of your properly loaded motor
home. It will help you locate where specific items are
stored, and will help speed the loading process. Store
emergency items
in a readily accessible location. In-
clude a fire extinguisher, tools, first aid, rain gear,
flashlight, highwaywarning devices and an electric cord
with light.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with truck tires. Under
normal circumstances and with proper maintenance,
you should receive thousands
of miles of trouble-free
service.
Tire Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, proper inflation pres-
sure must be maintained. Properly inflated tires also
contribute to overall motor home stability and safety.
Refer to the tire section
in your chassis operator's
manual for information on maintenance, inflation pres-
sure, and tire care.
WARNING
FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM TIRE LIFE,
CHECK TIRE PRESSURES (INCLUDING THE
SPARE)OFTEN. PAY SPECIALATTENTION TO
INSIDE REAR DUALS.ALWAYS CHECKPRES-
SURE WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AND
DO NOT
BLEED AIR OUT OF WARM TIRES. FOLLOW
THETIRE PRESSURE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
CHASSIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL.
NOTE: Check the wheel covers periodically.
They could work loose during driving.
Tire Replacement
Replacement tires must be the same size, and have at
least the same weight carrying capacity as the original
equipment. All tires
of the same size and rating may not
have the same weight carrying capacity. Consult your
tiredealer.Theoriginal equipmenttiressuppliedon your
motor home have weight carrying capacities to support
gross axle weight ratings (GAWR) as stated
on the
Federal Certification Tag located on the sidewall near
the driver's seat.
If You Get a Flat Tire
Incase ofsudden tire failure, avoid heavy brakeapplica-
tion. Gradually decrease speed. Hold steering wheel
firmlyand move slowlyto a safe, off-road place. Park on
a firm level spot, turn off the ignition, and turn on the
hazard flasher system.
Spare Tire Carrier
If you have the optional spare tire, it is located in an
exterior storage compartment.
WARNING
TRUCK WHEELS AND TIRES ARE EX-
TREMELY HEAVY AND MAY WEIGH 100
POUNDS OR MORE. DO NOT ATTEMPTTO
REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE UNLESS YOU
ARECAPABLE OF HANDLINGTHEWEIGHT.

NOTE: Your motor home Is not equipped with a
jack (spare tire is optional).
Changing a FlatTire
Even with good tire maintenance and normal driving,
you may experience a flat tire. Summon professional
helpthrough
your autoclub or travel service, or a local
truck servicefacility.Your motor home is not equipped
with a jack or other lifting device.Do not attempt to lift
the motor home with a jack Consult the Chassis
Operator's Manual for additional information on tire
inflation and proper torque.
WARNING
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE IF A BLOWOUT OR
OTHER TIRE DAMAGE OCCURS, OBTAIN
EXPERTTIRE SERVICE HELP. DO NOT AT-
TEMPTTO CHANGETHETIRE YOURSELF.
TOWING A VEHICLE
If you expect to pull a vehicle with your motor home,
please use these guidelines when choosing a hitch and
trailer:
Hitch classification: Class II. Do not use a load equaliz-
ing hitch. It could cause structural damage to the frame
members.
Limit the tongue weight
of trailer or towing device to a
maximum
of 250 pounds. Heavier tongue weights can
damage your motor home frame and body, cause un-
stable driving and handling characteristics, and will
restrict your rights underthe Ownercare warranty.
Do not tow a vehicle weighing morethan 3500 pounds,
which would result
in exceeding the GCWR. Heavier
vehiclescan causebrakingproblems,damagethehitch,
the motorhome structure
or drive train, cause unstable
driving or handling characteristics, and/or restrict your
rights under warranty. Changing the trailer hitch will not
increase the tow capacity of the motor home.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is listed
on the wardrobe doortag. The GCWR is the maximum
allowable weight of both the loaded motor home and
towed vehicle. Exceeding the GCWRcould cause dam-
age to your motor home drivetrain or chassis, unstable
driving and handling characteristics, and will reduce
your warranty protection.

Seat belts help to restrain you and your passengers in
case of a collision. In moststates, the law requires their
use.
Seat belts provide the best restraint when:
the seat back is upright
the
occupant is sitting upright (not slouching)
the lap belt is snug and low on the hips
the shoulder belt is snug against the chest
the knees are straight forward
For your safety, your vehicle has combination lap and
shoulder belts for the driver and front seat passenger
and lap belts without retractors
in all other designated
seating positions.
WARNING
MAKESURETHATYOU ANDYOUR PASSEN-
GERS, INCLUDING PREGNANT WOMEN,
WEAR SAFETY BELTS. BE SURE
THAT LAP

SIBLEAROUNDTHEHIPS.lFSAFETYBELTS
ARE NOT USED PROPERLY, THE RISK OF
YOU OR YOUR PASSENGERS BEING IN-
JURED IN A COLLISION GREATLY IN-
CREASES.
ALWAYS DRIVE AND RIDE WITH YOUR
SEATBACK UPRIGHT AND THE LAP BELT
SNUG AND LOW ACROSS THE HIPS TO
REDUCETHE RISKOF SERIOUS INJURYTO
THE ABDOMEN OR

CHILDREN SHOULD
ALWAYS RIDE WITH
THE SEATBACK IN THE FULLY UPRIGHT
POSITION. WHEN THE SEATBACK IS NOT
FULLY UPRIGHT, THERE IS A GREATER
RISKTHATTHE CHILD WILL SLIDE UNDER
THE SAFETY BELT AND BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED IN A COLLISION.
NEVER USE A SINGLE BELT FOR MORE
THAN ONE PERSON OR ACROSS MORE
THAN ONE SEATING POSITION. THIS
GREATLY INCREASES THE RISKTHATONE
OR BOTH OF THE PEOPLE WILL BE IN-
JURED IN A COLLISION. EACH DESIG-
NATED SEATING POSITION IN YOUR VE-
HICLE HAS A SPECIFIC SAFETY BELT AS-
SEMBLY WHICH IS MADE UP OF ONE
BUCKLE AND ONE TONGUE THAT ARE DE-
SIGNEDTO BE USED AS A PAIR.
WARNING
USE THE SHOULDER BELT ON THE OUT-
SIDE SHOULDER
ONLY. NEVERWEARTHE

SWING IT AROUND THE NECK OVER THE
INSIDE SHOULDER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD INCREASE
THE RISKAND/OR SEVERITYOFINJURY IN
AN ACCIDENT.
Combination Lap and Shoulder Belts
Whileyourvehicle is in motion, the combination lap and
shoulderbeltadjusts to yourmovement.However, ifyou
brake hard, corner hard
or if your vehicle receives an
impact, thelap and shoulderbelt locksand preventsyou
from moving.
To fasten the belt, pull the lap-shoulder belt from the
extractorsothatthe shoulderportion ofthe belt crosses
your shoulderand chest. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

To tighten the lap portion of the belt, pull up on the
shoulderbelt until it fits you snugly. The belt should rest
as low on your hips as possible.
Safety
Belt Maintenance
Checkyoursafety belt system periodicallyto makesure
that itworks properly and isn'tdamaged. Ifthe webbing
shows any wear, nicks or cuts, have it examined by a
qualified technician to determine if replacement is nec-
essary. Always have your safety belt system checked
after a collision.
Safety
Restraints for Children
In most states, you are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children (less than four
yearsold, and under40pounds) ridein yourvehicle, you
mustputthem
in safetyseatsthatare madespeciallyfor
children. Safety belts alone do not provide maximum
protection forthese children. Checkyour local and state
laws for specific requirements.

DRIVING, PARKING AND MIRRORS
Driving your motor home will be different from driving
your family car or truck. Your motor home is large, and
you need to be alert to your vehicle's position in traffic.
Be cautious when maneuvering to allow for the length
and width of the vehicle. Always allow room to corner
and to change lanes.Your vehicle's side and rear view
mirrors will help
you keep aware of your vehicle's posi-
tion and the position of other vehicles and/or obstruc-
tions near your motor home. You must monitor them
constantly while you are driving. Become familiar with
the operation of the side mirrors and learn to use them
to view objects and the road beside and behind the
motor home.
The rearviewmirrorsare controlledfrom apanel located
on thedriver'sdoorarmrest. To adjustthemirrors, select
either LEFT or RIGHT mirrorand press the appropriate
arrow. Activate the mirror heaters by pressing the
HEATER position.

12 ______________________ _
Rememberthat your motor home is heavierthan a car,
making it less maneuverable and harder to stop. Also,
becauseofits greatersidesurface area, itis more easily
affected by cross winds. Allow extra distances for pass-
ing and stopping, and drive at a moderate speed,
particularly in traffic and in gusty wind conditions.
Driving
on winding or mountain roads is not difficult if
done with reasonable care. Observe proper vehicle
speedswhen ascending ordescending hillsand always
operate in the propertransmission range. Downshift on
hills to avoid overheating orundue engine loads. Down-
shift when descending grades. Engine braking power
will help control vehicle speed, and relieve some ofthe
strain on the brakes.
Mountain driving or desert temperatures can put ex-
treme demands on chassis components. Under ex-
treme use conditions, you may need to turn off the
vehicle air conditionerto improve engine and transmis-
sion cooling.
Be aware of the extra height of your motorhome. Check
for low hanging tree branches
or other obstructions
wheneveryou drive
or park. Avoid low overhangs when
pulling in for service. Always check overhead clear-
ances of overpasses and bridges.This may be particu-
larlyimportantifyou drive with the overhead ventsopen
or if the motor home is equipped with a roof air condi-
tioner, roof rack, CBorTV/radioantenna.Before leaving
on a trip, checkyour route. Some tunnels prohibit motor
homes with LP gas systems.
When parking parallel to a curb, be sure to allow for
polesorobstructionsasthefrontand rearportionsofthe
motor home swing wider than an automobile. When
parking on an incline, turn thefront wheels into the curb
in the direction ofthe roll to aid the parking brake.When
parking, always shiftthe transmission to neutral and set
the parking brake.
NOTE:Although your motor home is equippedwith
power steering, the front wheels maybe difficult to
turn when
at a dead stop. When maneuvering in
some close situations, give yourselfsome room to
moveeitherforward
or backward.The vehiclehas to
be in motion for the front wheels to be turned with
ease.
WARNING
DO NOT PARK OR IDLETHE MOTOR HOME
OVER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS SUCH
ASTALL GRASSOR DRIED LEAVES.THIS IS
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF THE EX-
HAUST SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN PROP-
ERLY MAINTAINED. COMBUSTIBLE MATE-
RIALS MAY CATCH FIRE FROM THE HOT
EXHAUSTGASES, SOOTORSPARKSTHAT
COULD ESCAPE THROUGH CORROSION
HOLES OR CRACKS.
If operating, parking or idling your vehicle off-road is
unavoidable, as is often the case in recreational use:
Be aware that combustible materials could catch fire from
the vehicle's hot exhaust system.
Avoid driving your vehicle through or over combustible
materials such
as leaves, grass, vegetation orstubble high
enough
to touch, catch orcollect on its hot exhaustsystem.
Parking
or idling should be done only in an area where
there are no combustible materials underthe vehicle.
REARVIEW VIDEO MONITOR
If your motor home is equipped with rear view video
monitor, the camera is located at the top rear of the
motor home. The rear view picture is displayed on a
screen on the motor home instrument panel.The moni-
tor screen may be overlaid with a distance scale refer-
encewhich gives approximatedistance ofobjectstothe
rear of the motor home.
To operatethe video monitor,the ignition switch mustbe
on and the gear shift in reverse.
To override normal
operation, the ignition switch must be on and power on
at the monitor.
Using the video monitorwill take practice. Always allow
more space for maneuvering until you are comfortable
with the system. Check the side-mounted mirrors often
while driving and especially during lane changes and
when backing
up.
CAUTION
The rear view video monitor system pro-
vides a general view of the road and objects
to the rear of the motor home.Your percep-
tion of this view and the relationships of
objects to the motor home and each other
will be different from that seen in a rear view
mirror. Light conditions and the adjustment
of the screen controls will also affect your
perception. Always use the side-mounted
rear view mirrors with the video monitor
system.
Thecamera lens is exposedto road dirtandwill getdirty
often. Clean the camera lens and monitorscreen with a
quality glass cleaner and non-abrasive cloth or towel.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS
See the Chassis Operator's Manual in the Owner's
Information Package for chassis fuel recommenda-
tions. The optional generator is designed to run on the
samefuel as the chassis. Consultthe generatoroperat-
ing instructions for special cautions aboutmaintenance
with different types of fuels.
