limitations of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above limitations may not apply
to you.

FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED WARRANTY

FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
In addition to the above terms and conditions, Four Winds International Corporation warrants to the
first retail owner purchased from an authorized dealer that the structural components of your RV
will be free of substantial defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty-six (36) months
from the date of retail purchase or for the first 45,000 miles of usage, whichever occurs first.
For the purpose of this warranty, “steel or aluminum structural components” shall be limited to the
structure of the sidewalls, front and back wall, roof, and floor.
Damaged caused by misuse, abuse, collision, alteration, failure to properly maintain the exterior
sealants, cosmetic defects, improper repairs, discoloration, and normal deterioration is not covered
by this 36 month/45,000 mile limited structural warranty. Maintenance such as periodic resealing
of the windows, molding, doors, vents, awnings, and other exterior-mounted components, and
damage caused by the failure to adhere to the prescribed maintenance chart in this manual is
excluded from this coverage.
To obtain warranty service the owner must do all of the following:
1. Complete and return the Owner Registration Card within ten (10) days of purchase;
2. Notify Four Winds, or one of its authorized, independent dealers, in writing, of any claimed
defect within the warranty coverage period;
3. Provide the notification mentioned in (2), above, within ten (10) days of discovery of the
defect; and
4. Promptly return the RV to an authorized dealer for repairs.
For warranty service; contact one of Four Winds’ independent, authorized service centers for an
appointment and then deliver your RV to the service center on the specified appointment date.
If you need assistance contact Four Winds at:

If two (2) or more service attempts have been made to correct any covered defect that you believe
impairs the value, use or safety of the RV, you must, to the extent permitted by law, notify
Four Winds directly, in writing, of the unsuccessful repair of the alleged defect so that Four Winds
can become directly involved in making sure that you are provided service pursuant to the terms
of this limited warranty.
Because Four Winds does not control the scheduling of service work at any service center you may
encounter delays in scheduling and/or the completion of work. All costs associated with
transporting the RV for any warranty service shall be the sole responsibility of the RV owner.

adjustments are the owners’ responsibility as normal maintenance.
In addition, by way of example only, this Limited Warranty does not cover any of the following:
items that are added or changed after the Motorhome leaves Four Winds; any RV used for rental
or other commercial purposes (Note: It shall be assumed the RV has been used for rental or
business purposes if the RV is purchased or registered in a company name, or if the RV owner
claims a tax benefit on a tax form); normal wear, tear or usage, such as fading or discoloration of
fabrics or the effects of condensation inside the RV; items that are working as designed but that
you are unhappy with because of the design; problems related to misuse, including failure to
maintain RV in accordance with the owner’s manual, or failure to perform other routine
maintenance; damage due to accident whether or not foreseeable, including any acts of weather
or damage or corrosion due to environment, rust, theft, vandalism, fire, or other intervening acts
not attributable to Four Winds; cost related to transportation, towing or damage as a result of

and filters are excluded from warranty coverage.
It is the owner’s responsibility to take any necessary preventative maintenance measures, as
described in the care and maintenance section of the Four Winds International owners’ manual
including periodic maintenance of exterior caulking and sealers. It is the responsibility of the owner
to take necessary measures to prevent secondary damage from rainwater, plumbing leaks,
condensation, and the natural accumulation of moisture in your recreation vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in stains, damage, separation, and formation of mold to the floor, walls, upholstery,
carpeting, furniture, drapes and other components. Mold is a natural growth given certain
environmental conditions and is not covered by the terms and conditions of the Four Winds
International Limited Warranty.
Chemical off-gassing is not a "defect" in the RV and is not covered by the term and conditions of
the Four Winds International Limited Warranty. Please refer to the Safety Section (Section 2 Page

Four Winds International Corporation participates in the Consumer Arbitration Program for
Recreation Vehicles (CAP-RV). This third-party dispute resolution program is available, at no
charge to you, to settle unresolved warranty disputes for recreation vehicles. This dispute
resolution program reviews eligible product and service related complaints involving warranty
covered components.
To find out more about the program, or to request an application/brochure, please call the
Arbitration Administration office toll-free [phone].
For recreation vehicles purchased in the State of California: The CAP-RV program operates as a
certified mechanism under the review of the California Arbitration Certification Program. You must
utilize the arbitration program before claiming rights conferred by 15 USC section 2310
(Uniform Commercial Code) or Civil Code section 1793.22(b) (Song-Beverly Warranty Act). You
are not required to use the program if you choose to seek redress by pursuing rights and remedies
not created by those laws.
Any action to enforce any portion of this express, Limited Warranty, or any implied warranty, shall
be commenced within one (1) year after expiration of the warranty coverage period designated
above or as required by law. Any performance of repairs shall not suspend this one-year limitation
period from expiring. Any performance of repairs after the warranty coverage period has expired,
or performance of repairs regarding any thing excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty,
shall be considered good will repairs, and they will not alter the express terms of this Limited
Warranty, or extend the warranty coverage period or this limitation period. In addition, this
warranty is not intended to extend to future performance, and nothing in this warranty, or any action
of Four Winds, shall be interpreted as an extension of the warranty or this limitation period.

FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
Thank you for choosing a Four Winds International Corporation product.
We take your choice seriously. That's why we have engineered this recreational vehicle to meet
and in many cases exceed federal and state regulations and requirements for vehicles of this type.
It is our goal to provide you, the customer, with a recreation vehicle that is not only pleasing to the
eye, but safe and dependable as well.
With safety in mind, Four Winds highly recommends that you read this manual, as well as the
chassis manufacturer's operation manual, prior to operating the recreation vehicle. Always keep
these manuals with the recreation vehicle for easy reference.
Be sure to read all warranty and registration information carefully, including the warranties and
operation manuals for individual components. Validate any individual component warranties by
completing and mailing their respective warranty cards as required.
NOTE: Complete the Warranty Registration Card in this manual and return the card to Four Winds
within 10 days from the date of purchase.
The recreation vehicle is thoroughly inspected prior to shipment to the dealer. However, to insure
your complete satisfaction, the dealer must also perform an inspection of the various components
and operations based on a pre-delivery inspection list. Take this opportunity to cover the
operation of all components of the recreation vehicle with the dealer. This will help familiarize you
with the recreation vehicle; as well as assure you that the recreation vehicle is in excellent
working condition.
A road test by the dealer should be included as part of the pre-delivery inspection. During the road
test the dealer should check for and correct any steering problems before you take
delivery of the recreation vehicle. After this road test has been completed, front end alignment
and/or vibrations will not be covered as part of the Limited Warranty.
This recreation vehicle has been designed for short term recreational use and is not intended to
be used as a permanent dwelling, or as a rental vehicle. If you intend to use the recreation
vehicle as a permanent dwelling or rental vehicle, it could cause premature deterioration of, but not
limited to, the carpet, drapes, upholstery, and interior surfaces. This premature wear caused by
long term or permanent residency may, under the terms of the Limited Warranty, could be
considered abnormal and abusive and could reduce your warranty coverage.
