INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the #HeroCamper™family and thank you for selecting our Ranger. Congratulations on choosing
a lifestyle that will provide you the freedom to enjoy recreation, wherever you may choose.
This Owner’s Manual is designed as a Quick Reference Guide for the operation and care of your new
purchase. For more complete instructions regarding safety, maintenance and operation of the items used in
the manufacturing of your Ranger, carefully read the booklets supplied by the component manufacturers. All
information contained in this manual may not relate to your specific model; however, booklets supplied by
the component manufacturers and included in your Owner’s packet will provide any additional information
needed.
Your dealership personnel should be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding your
new product. Please carefully read the Limited Warranty in this manual. #HeroCamper™ has no other
expressed or implied warranties of any type. You, as the owner, are responsible for providing proper
maintenance as outlined in the manual and as set forth in the component manufacturer’s booklets.
The Owner’s Manual for your new Ranger is designed to respond to the most frequent inquiries regarding
the operation, function, and care of the many systems that make modern trailering a joy.
Any modification done by the end user, will mean that the manufacturer can no longer guarantee the safety,
nor is the warranty no longer applicable for those areas and the once the modification is related to. We have
provided many important safety messages in this manual. Always read and obey all safety messages.
Optional items may be available on all our models. Additionally, some optional items can only be included
during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the camper.
The inclusion of optional items information in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability,
application suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.

Safety
Safety precautions
Many things can be construed as safety related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are
careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize
your potential for accidents is greatly increased.
You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following
recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.
Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to
eliminate all mold and mold spores in the outdoor environment, however, the way to control indoor mold
growth is to control moisture, by ventilating the units as much as possible.
Diesel heat
When using diesel heat system, do not stay inside kitchen tent. Always ensure to turn off diesel heat when
staying inside the kitchen tent.
Tire safety
Properly maintained tires improve stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Please see
page 20 (Maintenance for tire, care, and safety information). Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual
Addendum included with your owner’s packet.
Lug nuts torquing
Making sure lug nuts on trailer wheels are tight and properly torqued is an important responsibility that
trailer owners and users need to understand and practice. Inadequate and/or inappropriate wheel nut torque
(tightness) is a major cause of lug nuts loosening in service. Loose lug nuts can rapidly lead to a wheel
separation resulting in potentially serious safety consequences. See torque pattern on page 21.
Towing and weight distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your travel trailer. A camper with the cargo
distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-free towing. Please see page 14 (Towing) for more
information.

6
Control sway
Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of your trailer
can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death. Please see page 14
(Towing) for more information.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Several of our component manufacturers carry their own warranties and require separate warranty
information to be filed with them. Please read all component manufacturers’ owner’s manuals provided with
your Ranger and file appropriate individual warranty cards as required. You have joined the #Hero family,
and as you begin making great memories using your new Ranger, we wish you a lot of exciting and
adventurous days of camping.
NOTICE: Failure to properly maintain your trailer could result in loss of warranty coverage

Overnight stop
#HeroCamper™Ranger owners have parked virtually in every place imaginable, from filling stations to
farmlands.
In time, you will develop a knack for scouting wonderful little roadside locations by turning off the main
highway and exploring.
There are many moderns park, including State, County and Federal parks with good facilities where you might
obtain hookups of electrical, water, and sewer connections. Directories are published, which describe in
detail what is available in terms of services and hookups.
When stopping for the night, your camper is built to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level and
where the ground is firm. Your facilities are with you. You are self-contained. Unless the tow vehicle is needed
for transportation, it is not necessary to unhitch. Choose the most level parking spot possible. Support legs
or blocks may not he required for an overnight stay.
Before moving on, check your campsite, both for cleanliness and, to be sure you have not left anything
behind. Make sure everything is properly stowed. Use your pre-travel check list, and you are ready for more
travel adventure.

10
WARNING: At each campsite, make sure you have not parked in such a manner as to block the
operation of the doors by being too close to trees, fences, or other impediments. Scenic views
are one reason for travelling, but do not park so the beautiful lake or steep cliff is just outside
your door
Extended stay
When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks, or months, you will want your Ranger to be
as level and steady as possible. To ensure that your Ranger is level, you can do so by using a small construction
level and either set it on the A-frame of the Ranger, or on the inside of the Ranger. If a correction is necessary,
you must level from side-to-side first. This can be done easily by backing the Ranger up onto one or more 2
x 6 boards. We do not recommend placing tires in a hole for leveling.
Leveling
Level from front to rear by disconnecting the hitch from the tow vehicle and adjusting the jack up or down
until you are level. Block or chock the wheels to keep your Ranger from rolling. Use the support legs at the
two rear corners, to eliminate the natural spring action of the axles.
Support legs
The support legs are located at the rear corners of the Ranger. Use the manual handle to lock the legs into
position. Support legs should only be lowered enough to contact the ground.
WARNING: Support legs are designed to stabilize the Ranger only. Misuse of the support legs
to level or lift the Ranger may result in damage to the legs and potentially the Ranger
WARNING: Whenever the Ranger must be lifted, as when changing a tire or leveling on very
rough terrain, always place the lifting jack under the main frame rail. Never use support legs
to lift the Ranger
Effects of prolonged occupancy
Your #HeroCamper™Ranger was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you
expect to occupy the Ranger for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and the humid
conditions that may be encountered.
Moisture can condense on the inside surfaces of the Ranger during cold weather, when relative humidity of
the interior air is high. This condition is increased because the insulated walls of the Ranger are much thinner
than house walls. Also, the relatively small volume and tight compact construction of the modern Ranger
means that the normal living activities of even a few occupants will lead to rapid moisture saturation.
