About This Manual
The purpose of this manual is to serve as guide to normal
operation, safety, care, and maintenance of your recreation
vehicle (RV). The information in this manual is accurate at the
time of publication but is subject to change without notice.
Photographs, drawings, components, and systems described
may not represent what is actually in your RV due to ongoing
upgrades and improvements.
There is nothing in this manual that creates any warranty,
express or implied. Information in this manual is not meant in
any way to supplement, modify, or alter the terms and condi-
tions of your Limited Base and Structural Warranties, or any
component manufacturer warranties.
Procedures outlined in this guide are typical for normal op-
erating conditions. You are responsible for the safe operation
and use of your RV, and we have tried to include information
to assist you. There are occasional tips to help you enjoy the
recreational lifestyle; however, this guide is not intended to
teach you how, or where, to camp.
If you have any questions, concerns, or require assistance
regarding any aspect of your RV, please contact your dealer

Introduction
Owner Information Package
The Owner Information Package contains the manuals and
registration cards for several individual components of your
new Momentum Fifth Wheel (FW).
• It is critical that you register and activate each component
warranty within the prescribed time limits to avoid loss of
warranty coverage.
• Some component manufacturers oer warranties beyond
the Grand Design Limited Base and Structural Warranties.
• Other components are warranted separately and exclu-
sively by the individual component manufacturer, and are
therefore excluded from our Limited Base and Structural
Warranties.
It is important that you read and understand the informa-
tion in this manual and your Owner Information Package
before using your RV.
Manufacturing Certification
Grand Design RV recreation vehicles are constructed to the
thorough safety and construction standards established by the
Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). Frequent and
random audits are conducted by RVIA and Transport Canada to
confirm compliance to U.S. (RVIA) and (if applicable) Canadian
(CSA) standards.
Either a RVIA or CSA label is axed to the sidewall next to the
entry door to confirm your RV has been constructed to these
exacting standards.
This NOTE symbol is used to
identify special attention items,
like useful tips, reminders or
maintenance items.
This manual and the
owner information
package should
be considered a
permanent part of the RV.
If the RV is sold, both
should remain with the RV
for the next owner.

Safety Precautions
Nothing is more important than the personal safety of you, your
family and others. Safety encompasses several areas relat-
ed to the RV experience. This includes driving/towing safety,
occupant safety, operational safety, environmental safety, and
more. Any time you are dealing with carbon monoxide produc-
ing appliances, propane gas, electricity and other hazards it
is critical that safety become your number one priority in and
around your recreational vehicle.
Various safety
and information
labels are attached
to surfaces both
inside and outside your RV.
These labels are permanent
and should not be removed
or relocated for any reason.
The Safety Alert Symbol is used to
alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. It is imperative that you read,
understand and abide by these safety
alerts and messages to avoid possible
personal injury or death.

hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
