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 of this Owner's Manual. Please see chapters titled "LP GAS SYSTEM"
and "APPLIANCES" for olher safely and operating information.
WARNING
LP GASCONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE
EQUIPPEDWITH 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:
,. 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 CHARCOALGRILLS 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 locatednearthe LPgascontainer. This label reads: DO
NOT FILLCONTAINER(S) TO MORE
THAN
80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overfilling 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 vehide 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 off 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 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.

MOTOR HOME LOADING
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a certain
rnaximum load. This load includes everything: theweight
of the empty motor home itself,all occupants and their
belongings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything
else that may be in or attached to the motor home.
The maximum loadforwhich the motorhome isdesigned
is called the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
(GVWR). Modifications to your motor home, i.e., chang-
ing tires or spring load capacities, will not in any way
increase the GVWR.
AnothercriticalweightfactoristheGROSSAXLE WEIGHT
RATING (GAWR). This is themaximum weight a specific
axle is designed to carry. Each axle has its own 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 certification tag posted on the driver'sdoor
or
in the driver's compartment.
WARNING
DO NOTEXCEEDTHE RATED LOAD OF THE
MOTOR HOME, OR THE RATED LOAD OF
ANY AXLE. EXCEEDING THE GVWR OR
GAWR OF YOUR MOTOR HOME WILL RE-
DUCE YOUR WARRANTYPROTECTION,CAN
CAUSE UNDESIRABLE HANDLING CHAR-
ACTERISTICS AND MAY CREATE A SAFETY
HAZARD.
In addition to knowing the overall weight that can be
safelyloaded in orattached to the motor home, you must
know howtodistributethe weightso thatcorrectamounts
ofweight are placed on the axles. The allowable carrying
capacity of
.the motor home is found by weighing the
motor home empty, and subtracting this weight from the
GVWR.
Carrying Capacity
During the design and development of Fleetwood motor
homes, the number and size of storage compartments,
the liquid tank capacities and number of belted seating
positions are maximized for value and convenience. If
you fill all liquid tanks to capacity, fill all storage compart-
ments and cupboards to maximum volume and fill all
available 'seating positions with passengers, the motor
7
ON THE ROAD
home will be overl6aded. According to National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration figures, a vehicle occupant
weighs 150 pounds. Additionally, each gallon of fuel
weighs over six pounds (6.0 Ibs.) and each gallon of
water weighs over eight pounds (8.3 Ibs.).
You are responsible for analyzing the conditions under
which the motor home will be used for each trip. The
numberof passengers and placement ofcargo will affect
the amount of water and cargo that you can carry (See
"Loading Tips"). For convenience, the passenger ca-
pacity for camping use and the passenger capacity for
day use are shown on a permanent label in the driver's
area or adjacent to the main entry door. The passenger
capacity for camping provides reasonable cargo capac-
ity for trips taking more than one day. The passenger
capacityforday use provides less cargocapacity fortrips
oractivities not involving overnight stays. For example, it
maybe necessary to reduce the amount ofwatercarried
and unload somecargo items normally carried forcamp-
ing in orderto provide carrying capacityforthe additional
day use passengers.
The numberofseatbeltlocations maybe greaterthan the
number of passengers permittedbythe label.Theseextra
locations, ifprovided, are to permitachoiceofseats while
traveling. It is not safe to exceed the labeled passenger
capacity unless the axle loadings and total weight are
checked against their ratings on a public scale. (See
"Determining And Distributing Your Load").
Thoughtful consideration of the weight placed in the
motor home can yield important benefits:
Greater choice of seating and storage
Safeoperation, including improvedhandlingchar-
acteristics and ride comfort
Better fuel mileage and reduced tire wear
NOTE: Carrying capacities of your motor home
are specified on a label affixed
to the inside of a
wardrobe door. The label includes all factory
installed options. If other equipment such as
leveling jacks, awnings, roof pods, etc., are in-
stalled after the motor home leaves the factory,
the weight
of theseitems mustbesubtractedfrom
the total
of the passenger and cargo carrying

capacities. Ifyou tow a trailer, the tongue weight
of the trailer must be subtracted from the total of
the passenger and cargo carrying capacities.
Loading Tips
Do not load heavy items in upper cabinets.
Secure and brace items so they won't move
during travel, thereby shifting the load.
Do not load heavy items near either end of the
motor home or on the rear bumper.
Adjust cargo storage to keep the side to side
wheel loads as equal a possible,
Carry only as much water as needed for travel
use
or to balance the load,
Whenever possible, empty the holding tanks
before traveling,

help you locate where specific items are
stored, and will help speed the loading process, Store
emergencyitems
in a readilyaccessible location. Include
afire extinguisher, tools, first aid kit, rain gear, flashlight,
highway warning devices, and an electric cord with light.
WARNING
DO NOT STORE OR CARRY LP GAS CON·
TAINERS, GASOLINE, OR OTHER FLAM·
MABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE YOUR MOTOR
HOME. THE CONTAINERS MAY LEAK.
Determining And Distributing
Your Motor Home Load
If the loaded weight of your motor home exceeds the
GVWR, you will haveto remove itemsto bring the weight
down to
or below the GVWR. Ifthe loaded axle weight on
anyaxle exceeds the GAWR, you will have to redistribute
cargo to bring the weight down to
or below the GAWR.
Weighing Your Loaded Motor Home
Refer to your local directory to locate a public weigh
station, The following weighing procedure will help you
determine whether your loaded motor home (complete
with cargo, fluids, passengers, and driver) is within GAWR
and GVWR limits. When you arrive ata 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 platform and take
a reading. Thisis the front GrossAxleWeight (Reading 1),
2. Center the entire vehicle (all axles) on the scale and
take a reading. This is the Gross Vehicle Weight (Read-
ing 2),
3. Center the rear wheels on the platform and take a
reading. This reading is the rear Gross Axle Weight
(Reading 3),
4. Compflre Reading 2 with the GVWR ofyourvehicle, If
the reading exceeds the GVWR rating, you will have to
reduce the total vehicle load.
5. If Reading 2 is less than the GVWR of your vehicle,
check Readings 1and 3toverify
that each is lessthan its
respective GAWR.lfeitherexceedstheGAWR, redistrib-
ute
the load and reweigh.

6. For a tag axle, center both rear axles on the scale
platform and take a reading. Compare with the sum of
both the rear (tag) and the intermediate (drive) GAWRs.
Periodically reweigh your motor home. Loading and
weight patterns will change according to use.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with truck tires. Under
normal circumstances and with proper maintenance, you
should receive thousandsof miles oftrouble-free service.

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 aload equalizing
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 rear frame and body, cause
unstable driving and handling characteristics, and will
restrict your righls under Ihe Own(;lrcare warranty.

lU
Do not tow a vehicle weighing more than 3500 pounds,
or which would result
in exceeding the GCWR recom-
mended by the chassis manufacturer. Heavier vehicles
can cause braking problems, damage the hitch, the
motor home 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 even if the
chassis is rated at a higher level.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is listed on
the wardrobe door tag. The GCWR is the maximum
allowable weight of both the loaded motor home and
towed vehicle. Exceeding the GCWR will cause damage
to your motor home drive train or chassis, unstable
driving and handlingcharacteristics, and will reduce your
warranty protection.
SEATS AND SEAT BELTS
Driver/Passenger Seats
The driver's and passenger's seats offer different posi-
tion/comfort adjustments:
WARNING
DO NOTADJUSTTHESEATPOSITIONWHILE
THE VEHICLEIS IN MOTION. YOU MAY LOSE
CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
Referto the booklets in your owner's information pack-
age for operating instructions.
Seat Belts
Seat beltsare an importantsafetyfeature of yourvehicle.
For your protection, always use your seat belts. The
driver's seat and other seats designed to carry passen-
gers while moving have been equipped with seat belts.
WARNING
ALL RIDERS SHOULD USE SEAT BELTS
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NEI-
THERSEATSWITHOUTSAFETYBELTSNOR
BEDS SHOULD BE OCCUPIED WHILE THE
VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
Adjust seat belts as follows:
To fasten belt, be sure it is not twisted, then push the
tongue end of one belt into the buckle of the mating belt.
Be sure it latches. For greatest safety, adjust the belt
snugly as low
on the abdomen as comfort will allow.
To releasethe belt, depressthe button in the centerof the
buckle and slide the tongue out of the buckle. Never use
a belt for more than one person at a time.
Child Restraint
All vehicle occupants, and especially children, should be
restrained whenever riding
in vehicles. Holding a child in
your arms is not a substitute for seat belts or a child
restraint system. Child restraint systemsare designed to
be secured
in the vehicle seats by lap belts. Children
could beendangered in acrash iftheirchild restraints are
not properly secured
in the vehicle.
When using any child restraint system, be sure to read
and follow all instructions
on installation and use that
came with the system.
When securing achild restraint with a lap beltthat has
no
retractor, pull the excess webbing through the adjust-
ment mechanism.
If the child restraint is still not secure, use a different
seating position
in the vehicle and/orcontactyour dealer
and the child restraint manufacturer for help.
DRIVING AND PARKING
Once you become accustomed to the feel of the controls
and the reference points from the driver's seat, you will
find driving a motor home comparable to driving your
family car. Become familiarwith the position ofthe home
in traffic, and be cautious when maneuvering to allow for
the length and with of the vehicle. Always allow extra
room tocornerand to change lanes. Learn to use the side
mirrors to view the road behind.
Remember that your motor home is heavier than a
car,
making it less maneuverable and harder to stop. Also,
because of its greaterside surface area, it is more easily
affected by cross winds. Allow extra distances for pass-
ing and stopping, and driveat amoderate speed, particu-
larly
in traffic and in gusty wind conditions.
Driving
on winding or mountain roads is not difficult if
done with reasonable
ca~e. Observe proper vehicle
speeds when ascending or descending hills and always
operate in the proper transmission range. Downshift on
hills to avoid overheating or undue engine loads. Down-
shiftwhen descending grades. Engine braking powerwill
help control vehicle speed
on gasoline powered ve-
hicles, (does not apply to diesel-powered vehicles) and
relieve some of the strain on the brakes.
Mountaindrivingordeserttemperaturescan putextreme
demands
on drive train components -especially the
transmission. Under extreme heat conditions you may
need to turn off the vehicle air conditioner to improve
engine and transmission cooling.

Be aware ofthe extra height of your motorhome. Check
for low hanging tree branches or other obstructions
whenever you drive or park. Avoid low overhangs when
pulling inforservice. Always check overhead clearances
of overpasses and bridges. This may be particularly
important if you drive with the overhead vents open or if
the motor home is equipped with a roof air conditioner,
roof rack, CB or TV/radio antenna. Before leaving on a
trip, check your route. Some tunnels prohibit motor
homes with
LP gas systems.
When parking paralleltoa curb, be sure to allowforpoles
orobstructions as thefront and rear portions of the motor
home swing widerthan an automobile. When parking on
an incline, turn the front wheels into the curb
in the
direction of the roll to aid the parking brake. When
parking, always shiftthe transmission to PARK ("P") and
set the parking brake, if applicable.
WARNING

If operating, parking or idling your vehicle off-road is
unavoidable, as is often the case in recreational use:
Be awarethatcombustiblematerialscould catch fire from
the vehicle's hot exhaust system.
Avoid driving your vehicle through
or over combustible
materials such as leaves, grass, vegetation
or stubble
high enough to touch, catch or collect on its hot exhaust
system.
Parking or idling should be done only
in an area where
there are no combustible materials underthe vehicle.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS
See the Chassis Operator's Manual in the Owner's
Information Packagefor fuel recommendations and/or
for special cautions about maintenance with different
types or grades of fLiels.
Fuel Fill
The fuel filler cap is located toward the rear of the coach
on gasoline·powered models, and near the front wheel
on passenger side on diesel-powered models. Modern
gasolinefuel systems maybuild upvaporpressurewithin
thetank
as thegasolinewarmsduring use or hotweather.
________________________________ 11
Under certain conditions, sudden release of this pres-
surewhen removingthe gasolinecapcan causegasoline
to spray from the fill opening, creating a fire hazard.
WARNING
WHEN REMOVING THE GASOLINECAP, RO-
TATE SLOWLY ONLY FAR ENOUGH TO AL-
LOW PRESSURE TO RELEASE. AFTER
"HISSING" SOUNDSTOPS, COMPLETETHE
REMOVAL OF THE CAP.
To protect the gasoline system from excessive pressure
or vacuum, or from sudden release of pressure, replace
lost caps with caps of the same design which are avail-
able from your Fleetwood motor home dealer.
Clean up fuel spills immediately. Raw fuel spilled on the
motor home could damage the exterior finish, and is a
serious fire hazard.
NOTE: Diesel fuel systems do not build up
pressure as do gasoline systems.
Fuel Types And Vapor Lock (Gasoline-Powered
Models Only)
Today's automotive fuel and emissions systems are
sophisticated and highlyengineered to meet Federal and
State emissions standards. They are also sometimes
sensitive to fuel types and blends, particularly fuels
blended forcertain altitudes and climates. Fuel suppliers
provide customers with the correct fuel for their location
andseasonalconditions. Sometimes, though, fuel blended
for winter is supplied during summer months.
"Vaporlock" occurs when gasoline vaporizes, and vapor
pockets block the flow of liquid fuel to the engine. If you
experience enginestall orstutter, you maybe experienc-
ing vapor lock.
If your engine and fuel system are properly tuned and
maintained, you should not experience this problem.
If
vapor lock occurs, the fuel itself could be the cause. If at
all possible, check with the service station operator as to
the fuel blend before filling yourfuel tank.
If you purchase
your fuel from nationally reco(jnized fuel dealers, your
chances of vapor lock can be reduced.
If you store your
motorhome duringthe wintermonths, be awarethat when
you takethe vehicle outof storage
in thespring or summer,
winter fuel may cause vapor lockuntil it is consumed.
GENERAL CHASSIS TOPICS
(Gasoline-Powered Models Only)
Variable Speed Engine Fan
When the engine is under load or requires maximum
cooling, the engine fan adjusts and turns faster. The fan
may become very noisy
at high speed and when maxi-
mum cooling is required. High speed fan noise can
sometimes be misinterpreted as transmission slippage.

This is not the case. High engine speed and temperature
conditions, such as pulling away from a stop after long
freewaydriving, can cause loudfan noise until the engine
cools down. This fan noise indicates thatthe fan is doing
what itis supposed to do. This noise is not a defect
in the
fan orthe transmission.
Exhaust System Heat
Your motorhome engine has been designed to conform
to Federal and State emission requirements. To meet
these requirements, engine operating temperatures are
high.Asa result, the engineand exhaust systems radiate
a great deal of heat.
Special heat shields are built into your motor home to
protect wiring and other
componE)nts from possible heat
damage caused by
the exhaust system. Do not remove
these shields, modify the exhaust system, or add addi-
tional equipment, such as wiring, plumbing, or other com-
ponents, which will be affected by exhaust system heat.
CARBON MONOXIDE .
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carbon monoxide is acolorless, tasteless, odorless gas.
It Is a by-product of combustion in engines. The engines
in your motor home and generator system produce it
constal)tlywhilethey are running. CARBON MONOXIDE
. IS DEADLY. Please read and understand the following
precautions to protect yourself and others from the ef-
fects of carbon monoxide pOisoning.
WARNING
EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY. DO NOT
BLOCK THE TAILPIPES OR SITUATE THE
VEHICLE INA PLACEWHERETHE EXHAUST
GASES HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY OF ACCU-
MULATING EITHER OUTSIDE, UNDER-
NEATH, OR INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE OR ANY
NEARBY VEHICLES. OUTSIDE AIR MOVE-
MENTS CAN CARRY EXHAUST GASES IN-
SIDE THE VEHICLE ,THROUGH WiNDOWS
OR OTHER OPENINGS REMOTE FROM THE
EXHAUST OUTLET. OPERATE THE
. ENGINE(S) ONLY WHEN SAFE DISPERSION
OF EXHAUST GASES CAN BE ASSURED,
AND MONITOR OUTSIDE CONDITIONS TO
BE SURE THAT EXHAUST CONTINUES TO
BE DISPERSED SAFELY.
Beware of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) poisoning
symptoms:
Dizziness
Vomiting
Nausea
Muscular Twitching
Intense Headache
Throbbing in Temples
Weakness and Sleepiness
Inability to Think Coherently
If you or others experience any of these symptoms, get
out into the fresh air immediately. If symptom persist,
seek medical attention. Shut down the unit and do not
operate until it has been inspected and repaired.
WARNING
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
OPERATE ANY ENGINE WHILE SLEEPING.
You would not be able to monitor outside conditions to
assure that engine exhaust does not enter the interior,
and you would not be alertto exhaustodors orsymptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do not operate an engine with a damaged exhaust
system. Checkthesystem frequentlyfordamage.
Do not
under any circumstances modify the exhaust system(s)
in any way.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide
(CO) detector. It is usually located in the main sleeping
area.
If the indicator sounds, it is an indication that carbon
monoxide gas is present. This may occur while idling in
high traffic concentrations where other vehicles as well
as your motor home are contributing to the carbon
monoxide level in the surrounding air. Sounding of the
alarm does not indicate a faulty alarm. The detector is
doing its job of warning you of potentiallyhigh concentra-
tions of carbon monoxide. 'See the section on Carbon
Monoxide
in this manual.
Test the CO detector after the motor home has been in
storage, before eachtrip, and at leastonceaweekduring
use. Replacethe sensorand batterywhen necessary. Do
not replace the battery without replacing the sensor.
Sensors are available through your Fleetwood dealer.
Please referto the operating instructionsincluded
in your
OwnE)r's Information Package.

EMERGENCY TOWING
The only safe and approved towing methods are either
an under reach wheel lift device, as installed on a
minimum 3-ton
tow truck chassis, or a flat bed trailer.
Most tow truck operators willing and able to tow motor
homes will befamiliarwith these devices. Be preparedto
givethe towtruckoperator at leastthefollowing informa-
tion when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear.
Towing from the rearwill cause seriousover-
loading of the· front tires and suspension,
possibly resulting
in tire orfront suspension
failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the load imposed
by
lifting from the rear.
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either on the
rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy duty dolly, or
transported on a flat bed trailer. Consult your chassis
operator's manual.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off LP gas appliances and the LP gas tank
valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the towed
vehicle.
ATTACHING ACCESSORIES TO
