Introduction
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE 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 /lote that front-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 steer-
ing/suspension parts or road hazards such as hit-
ting 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
may 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 bal-
anced.
See the Chassis Operatol"s/Owner's Guide/
Manualfor more infotmation.
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 OF YOUR MOTOR
HOME
Vehicle Crash
01-4
Like any other vehicle you may dlive, your
motor home can be involved in a vehicle
crash, including a rollover. TIle 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 offthe 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 leam the
driving and handling characteristics
of your
vehicle in safe and familiar sun·oundings.
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 d,iver
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 cau pull
or stop is determined
by the manufacturer
of the chassis on
which your motor home
is built. Check the
Chassis Operator's!Owner's Guide!
Manual provided by the motor home chas-
sis manufacturer for the limits on the
weight you can tow.
NOTE I
In most cases the GCWR of the chassis and the fin-
ished motorhome are the same.
In some cases, due
to the equipped hitch receiver, the GCWR may be
reduced. Please refer
to the Federal Certification Tag
postedin yourmotorhome for the rated GCWR.
If the Chassis Operator's!Owner's Guide!
Manual equipped with your motor home
does not provide specific information on
towing weight limits, it is strongly recom-
mended that the towed vehicle
or trailer be
equipped with a properly installed and oper-
ating supplemental brake control system
that operates in combination with the brakes
on your motor home.
• 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's!Owner's Guide!Manual.
• You CANNOT increase the towed weight
limit
by changing the size of your hitch.
• Properly load what you tow to avoid a
vehicle crash.
• Do not attempt to tow something that is
too heavy for your chassis.
• 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.
• State laws in the United States and provin-
ciallaws in Canada
Vaty concerning towing
equipment 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. All
improper alteratioll thataffects vehicle
handling or response can cause a vehicle
crash,
and allY improper alteration to the
electrical orPropane systems can cause a
fire
and can endangeryour motor home
alld its occupants. Fleetwood, your chassis
and other manufacturers stand behind the
motor home
as delivered - NOT as altered
by someone else.
Due to a recent National Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) ruling
it should
be noted that any alteration to a motor
home increasing the overall weight
by 100
lbs or more is required to be reweighed and
the Federal Certification Weight Tag needs
updated to reflect the weight change. This
tag is printed and supplied by the motor
home manufacturer. Please contact the
"Administrator" at NHTSA at the address
shown on page 02-4 for further details.
Warning Devices
Your motor home is equipped with warning
devices. Check them before a trip for
01-5

Introduction
proper operation. A disabled waming
device cannot wam you or vehicle occu-
pants
of a life-threatening danger. Keep
them working and respond to them quickly.
Examples
of These Devices Inclnde:
• Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm
• Propane Detector/Alarm

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
RV
dealer), be sure to save receipts and especially
any parts that are replaced. These parts will
have to be returned
to your dealer before you
can be reimbursed for their cost.
Always make a written list of the motor home
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.
If you have a long list of service items that need
attention and you need your motor home very
soon, discuss the situation with the service
advisor, listing the items in order
of priority.
This will help the service department manage its
time and will help get you going as quickly as
possible.
If required work is not covered under
the
WalTanty, your dealer's service department
can help you with getting the correct service.
The materials in your Owner's biformation
Package contain warranty information and
operating instructions on the various appliances
and components in your motor home.

not have operating instructions for a particular
appliance or component, contact your dealer.

home. When contacting any
of the equipment
manufacturers, always have the model and serial
numbers available. Appliance identification
numbers will
be found on tags or plates attached
to the appliance.
If you have a warranty or service concern about
the chassis portion
of your motor home, 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
directory for an authorized claims dealer.
If you
are unsure
if the issue is chassis related, please
contact your Fleetwood RV dealer.
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.
Please refer to the warranty in the front
of this
manual.
It explains your rights and obligations,
as well as the rights and obligations

your dealer will be better able
to get you on the
road again.

MOTOR HOME FUSES AND
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The 120-volt circuit breakers and 12-volt fuses
are located on three separate panels. The pur-
pose
of these three panels is to provide electrical
circuit breakers and fuses to interrupt current
flow
if a circuit is overloaded.
1. I20-volt House Elechical -This electri-
cal panel is located under the bed. This
panel is very similar to a residential panel
with resettable breakers.
2. FleetwoodAutomotive I2-volt System -
This panel is located in a driver's side com-
partment. This electrical center contains
battery disconnect systems, entry step, fog
light, and some other automotive circuitry.
3. I2-volt Chassis Fuses -This electrical
panel is located under the driver's side
dash area.
AiWARNINGI
Do not install 12-volt fuses or 120-volt breakers with
amperage ratings greater than that specified
on the
device or label. Doing so constitutes a fire hazard.
