LIMITED ONE ... YEAR/THREE ... YEAR WARRANTY
For Motor Homes Manufactured by subsidiaries of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.,
sold in the United States and Canada
Your new motor home, including the structure, plumbing, heating and
electrical systems, and all appliances and equipment installed by the
manufacturer, is warranted under normal use to be free from manu-
facturing defects in material or workmanship.
The warranty extends to the first retail purchaser and his transferee(s)
and begins on the date
of original retail delivery or the date the motor
home is first placed into service
as a rental, commercial or demon-
strator unit (whichever occurs first). The warranty extends for the fol-
lowing pedods:
I. For all defects (other than structural) the warranty extends for
a period
of one year from such date or until the unit has
received 15,000 total miles
of use as determined by the
mileage shown on the odometer (whichever occurs first).
2. For structural defects, 3 years; structural defects are limited
to the following: roof structure, sub-floor structure, exterior
walls, interior walls and ceilings.
Written notice
of defects must be given to the selling dealer or manu-
facturer not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the wan'an-
ty period.
The owner
is responsible for normal maintenance as described in the
Owner's Manual; however, minor adjustments (such
as adjustments
to the interior or exterior doors, LP regulator pressure, cabinet latch-
es, TV antenna control, etc.) will be performed by the dealer during
the first 90 days
of warranty coverage. Thereafter, such adjustments
are the responsibility
of the owner as normal maintenance unless
required
as a direct result of repair or replacement of a defective part
under this warranty.
If a problem occurs which the owner believes is covered by this war-
ranty, the owner shall contact the selling dealer, or other authorized
dealer, giving him sufficient information to resolve the matter. The
owner shall deliver the motor home to the dealer or manufacturing
plant location for warranty service.

Upon receipt
of notice of a claim, where the dealer was unable or
unwilling to resolve the problem, the manufacturing plant will repair
or replace any parts necessary to correct defects in material or work-
manship
or will take other appropriate action as may be required.
If the representatives of the manufacturing plant are unable to resolve
the problem and the owner
is convinced that it is covered by the war-
ranty, the owner should call the toll-free number listed below to
describe the problem and the attempts made to resolve
it.

We are required to tell you consumer information provided
by the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) and the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The informa-
tion and warnings found on these pages may also be found in
other chapters of this Owner's Manual. Please see the

SAFETY REGULATIONS
REGARDING
LP CAS SYSTEMS AND
LP CAS ApPLIANCES
WARNING
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other
flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or explo-
sion may result.
A warning label has been located near the LP gas container.
This label reads:
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORETHAN
BO-PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas
flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled con-
tainer will contain approximately BO- percent of its volume as
liquid LP gas.
The following label has been placed in the vehicle near
the
range:
IFYOU 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 ventilation openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source correct-
ed 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.

WARNING
It is not safe to use cooking appliances
for comfort heating. Cooking appli-
ances 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 pro-
vide 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 dan-
gers of asphyxiation. It is especially
important that cooking appliances not
be used for comfort heating asthe dan-
ger of asphyxiation is greater when the
appliance is used for long periods of
time.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
REGARDING
LP CAS SYSTEMS AND
LP CAS ApPLIANCES
WARNING
Portable fuel-burning equip-
ment, including wood and
charcoal grills and stoves,
shall not be used inside this
recreational vehicle. The use
of this equipment inside the
recreational vehicle may
cause fires
or asphyxiation.
WARNING
LP gas containers shall not
be placed or stored inside
the vehicle. LP gas contain-
ers are equipped with safety
devices which relieve exces-
sive pressure by discharging
gas
to the atmosphere.

Welcome to the recreational vehicle life-style and the grow-
ing family
of motor home owners. We sincerely thank you
for choosing a Fleetwood motor home!
Your motor home has been designed

years
of carefree, pleasant traveling and vacationing. Your
motor home conforms with, or exceeds, the American
National Standards Institute Al19.2, CSA Standard 2-240
(units built for Canada), applicable Federal or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and applicable Environ-
mental Protection Agency and California
Air Resources
Board regulations. These standards establish the plumbing,
heating, electrical and other requirements for quality and
safety. The seal attached just outside the entry door indicates
compliance with
ANSI or CSA standards.
Like all finely crafted equipment, your motor home will
require care and regular maintenance in order
to deliver max-
imum value and performance. The dealer will give you basic
operating and maintenance instructions; however, supplement
this by reading all instructional material furnished with the
motor home in the Owner's Information Package and
Chassis Operator's Manual. This information outlines
important areas
of maintenance and provides a maintenance
schedule for you
to follow for safe, trouble free service from
your motor home. Study these instructions carefully before
you operate the motor home for the first time. A good work-
ing knowledge of your motor home and how to care for it
will help you enjoy many miles and years
of recreational
living.

sidiary service facility. The locations are listed in this manu-

sentative will be able to solve any problem which might
arise. If their combined efforts are not satisfactory, please
send a letter describing the circumstances to:
Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.
Motor Home Division

Please include the brand name and serial number of your
motor home. The serial number

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-authorized 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.

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could
cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Fleetwood
Enterprises Consumer Affairs Department.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an inves-
tigation, and
if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer or Fleetwood's manufac-
turing subsidiary.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety
Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in
Washington, D.C.)
or write to:
NHTSA
U.S. Department of Transportation
Washington, DC 20590.
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle
safety from the Hotline.
This package contains valuable documents about your motor
home and its equipment and systems. This Owner's
Manual
is in the package. Since this manual does not cover every
possible detail
of equipment and options installed on or in
your motor home, there are booklets and instructional mater-
ial in the package that will help you safely operate, maintain
and troubleshoot those items. Be sure you read all this infor-
mation and understand the safety and operating instructions
included in the package. Additionally, you must follow all
maintenance instructions to insure full warranty coverage.
If
you ever decide to sell or trade your motor home, be sure the
new owner gets all the material in this package.
