Workshop/Service
Manual
Workshop/service manuals contain service and repair information for all vehicle
systems and components, except for major components such as engines, trans-
missions, and rear axles. Each workshop/service manual section is divided into
subjects that can include general information, principles of operation, removal,
disassembly, assembly, installation, and specifications.
Maintenance Manual Maintenance manuals contain routine maintenance procedures and intervals for
vehicle components and systems. They have information such as lubrication
procedures and tables, fluid replacement procedures, fluid capacities, specifica-
tions, and procedures for adjustments and for checking the tightness of fasten-
ers. Maintenance manuals do not contain detailed repair or service information.
Driver’s/Operator’s
Manual
Driver’s/operator’s manuals contain information needed to enhance the driver’s

Each manual contains a chapter that covers pre-trip and post-trip inspections,
and daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance of vehicle components.
Driver’s/operator’s manuals do not contain detailed repair or service information.
Service Bulletins Service bulletins provide the latest service tips, field repairs, product improve-
ments, and related information. Some service bulletins are updates to informa-
tion in the workshop/service manual. These bulletins take precedence over

bulletin is usually canceled. The service bulletins manual is available only to
dealers. When doing service work on a vehicle system or part, check for a valid
service bulletin for the latest information on the subject.

General Maintenance Schedule
Information
General Maintenance Schedule
Information
Performing regular maintenance on your vehicle will
help ensure that your vehicle delivers safe reliable
service and optimum performance for years to come.
Failure to follow a regular maintenance program can
result in inefficient operation and unscheduled down
time.
When the vehicle reaches the distance or time
(whichever comes first) given for a maintenance in-
terval, see the Vehicle Maintenance Schedule Table
for a list of the maintenance operations to be per-
formed at that maintenance interval. Use the mainte-
nance operation reference numbers to find detailed
instructions in the manual for each operation.
NOTE: Maintenance instructions in this manual
are based on average vehicle use and normal
operating conditions. Unusual vehicle operating
conditions may require service at more frequent
intervals.
For specific engine maintenance information, see the
Cummins Operation and Maintenance Manual.
IMPORTANT: Maintenance operations appearing
in italics in the following tables are for emission
control components. Numbers in the table are
reference numbers matching those in the text of
this manual.
Camp Freightliner Owner
Training
Owners who want to learn more about their vehicle
can attend a two-day training class, offered at the
Freightliner Custom Chassis Service Center in Gaff-
ney, South Carolina. Some of the items covered dur-
ing the training include the air brake system, electri-
cal system, vehicle storage, weight distribution, and
maintenance intervals.
To learn more about the class or to register, go to
www.freightlinerchassis.com. After entering the
website, click "Motorhomes" and select "Owner Info".
A class description and the registration form are lo-
cated under the "Camp Freightliner" tab.
If needed, service work can be scheduled for your
vehicle at the service center during your stay.
Tear-Out Checklists
IMPORTANT: Additional copies of the checklists
should be made before giving this to a dealer,
as they may not be returned to you. The correct
number of checklists are included to cover the
warranty period, however, if you want copies of
the checklists for future maintenance after the
warranty expires, you will need to make them.
Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation
(FCCC) will not be able to send you additional
copies.
At the back of the maintenance manual, there are
checklists for each maintenance interval up to 60,000
miles (96 540 km). When a maintenance interval
needs to be performed, take the vehicle to an autho-
rized Freightliner dealer, remove the appropriate
checklist, and give it to the dealer. These are the
items that will be inspected for maintenance.
