Introduction
Excessive or abnormal tire Vlear 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",'ehicle to
"pull" to the ri~ht odeft.
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 chassi.s 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
Vehi.cle Crash
.Like any other vehicle you may drive, your
motor home can be involved
in a vehi.c1e
cI'ash, including a rollover. The motor hOme
. will be damaged and you ancl others can be
01-4
injured or killed. Dfive defensively at all
times.DO NOT drive if you are tired, have
been drinking alcoholic beverages, are under
the influettce
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 untilyou can drive safely.
Vehicle Handling
Your motor home is longer, wider and
highertban 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· familiatsurroundings.
The distribution
of the weight of your
motor home is designed so 'it will.handle
safely while being driven
...
• When loading themotQr home, bala.nce
the loadfront-tv-rear
and side-to-side.
• Load and secure heavier items lower in
the storage areas thim 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
bandling problems and a vehicle crash.
Vehicle .Response··
When. you, the driver, accelerate, brake or
steer tbe motor home, it responds
to these
inputs, tfyou 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,
inaintflnallce and'imprvper driver
responsefto emergency conditions can
lead to handling
probtemsand vehicle.
crashes."
Vehicle Towin!;! .
Your motor home can be equipped with a
l1itchdesigned to allow you to tow vehicles

or other loads behind your motor home.
The m.aximum amount
of weight your
·motor home can pull or stop is determined
by the manufactureLof 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 cail tow.
v'1.··NOTE. I
In most cases the GCWR of the chassis and the fin-
.;shed motorhome are ihe
same. In some cases. due
to the equipped hitch receiver, the GCWR
may be
reduced, Please refer to the Cargo CarryingCapacity
Tag posted in yourmotor home 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
recommended that the towed vehicle or
trailer be equipped with a properly ihstalled
and operating,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 lmid
by properly installing on the
towed load a supplemental brake control
system that operates with your motor
home's braking system. Even withaddi-
· tional brakes, you cannot tow more than the
GTW
or GCWR for the chassis under your
motor home. Again, check the Chassis
Opetator'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 thilt is
too heavy for your chassis.
• When driving .in mountainous area~,
· look for and obey highway signs con-
o cerning gr:ldes and curves. Your driving
experiencewhenpulIing 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 prQvin-
· 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,
and any 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 oefore a tlip for
proper operation. A disabled warning
device cannot
wamyou or vehicle occu-
pants of a life-threatening danger. Keep
thernworking
an~ respond tdthem quickly.
Examples
of These Devices Include:
• CarbonMpnoxide Detector/Alarm
• Propane Dete~tor/ Alarm
• Smoke Detector/Alarm
• Seat Belt Warnings
• Hazard Flashers

adjustments to the interior or exterior doors,
Propane regulator pressure, cabinet latches, TV
antenna control, etc.) will be performed by the
dealer during the first 90 days

erage. Thereafter, such adjustments are the
responsibility
of the owner as normal mainte-
nance unless required as a direct result
of repair
or replacement
of a defective part under this
warranty.

covered by this warranty, the owner shall con-
tact the selling dealer, or Fleetwood Owner

owners
to obtain a replacement vehicle or a
refund
of the purchase price under certain cir-
cumstances. The provisions
of these laws vary
from state
to state and may varyfrom the fed-
erallaw.
To the extent allowed or not prohibited
by applicable
law, the manufacturer requires
that the ownerfirst provide it with direct written
notification
of any alleged unrepaired defect or
malfunction, or any other dissatisfaction experi-
enced with the motor home so the manufacturer
has the opportunity
to cure the problem or dis-
satisfaction itself. Giving the manufacturer this
direct notice and opportunity
to cure enables the
manufacturer
to supplement prior efforts by its
authorized dealers so any ongoing problem
or
dissatisfaction can be resolved or addressed by
the manufacturer. The manufacturer's written
notice should be mailed
to:
