IMPERIAL 1•8
This chapter contains warranty information and knowledge for the operation
and care of the motorhome. Not all information may be applicable to your
model of motorhome. More detailed information with CAUTION or
WARNING instructions, other than what is found in this chapter, can be found
in the manufacturer’s owner manuals located in the owner information box.
In time you will develop a knack for spotting wonderful little roadside
locations by turning off the main highway and exploring. There are many mod-
ern recreational vehicle parks (including state, county and federal parks) with
good facilities where you can obtain hook-ups for electrical, water and sewage
connections. Directories are published which describe these parks and the
availability of services and hook-ups. On overnight or weekend trips, chances
are you will not fill up the sewage holding tank, deplete the water or LP gas
supply, or run down the batteries which supply the living area 12 Volt DC cur-
rent. On longer trips, when you have stayed where sewer connections and utili-
ty hook-ups were not available, it will be necessary for you to stop occasional-
ly to empty the holding tanks and to replenish your water and LP gas supply.
Many gas stations have installed sanitary dumping stations. Publications are
available which list these dumping stations. When you stop for the night your
Holiday Rambler motorhome is built to be safely parked in any spot that is rel-
atively level and where the ground is firm. Try to pick as level a parking spot
as possible. Your facilities are with you. You are self-contained.
The safety alert symbols mean CAUTION or WARNING - “Personal
Safety Instructions.” Read and understand instructions where these symbols are
displayed in this manual. Failure to comply with specific instructions may
result in personal injury or death. Many instructions are required by National
Safety Associations.

Only by ensuring your confidence and satisfaction with our products and
services can we have continued success as a manufacturer of motorhomes. We
believe a good relationship with our customers is just as important as improving
the technical excellence of our products. Your authorized dealer is pleased to
help you with instructions about your motorhome and to offer service when
you need it. If problems remain after you have consulted your dealer you are
invited to contact our Consumer Affairs Department. Please have all pertinent
information (serial numbers, model number, etc.) when calling. We will work
with the dealer and see that every attempt to resolve the matter is made.

INTRODUCTION

RELATIONS

If you believe that your motorhome has a defect which could cause a crash
or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
Holiday Rambler. If NHTSA receives similar complaints it may open an investi-
gation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of motorhomes it
may order a recall or remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become
involved in individual problems between you, your dealer or Holiday Rambler.
To contact NHTSA you may either call the Auto Safety Hot line toll-free at 1-
800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 in Washington DC area) or write to:

Your motorhome has been manufactured to the highest quality and standards
by factory trained personnel. Quality inspections are performed throughout the
manufacturing process of your motorhome. Your motorhome has been carefully
and almost completely hand assembled in our factory. Prior to the motorhome
arriving at the dealership all systems have been carefully tested and inspected to
ensure optimum performance. The necessary forms and required manuals have
been placed in the motorhome at the time of shipment to the dealership.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dealer must perform additional pre-delivery inspections and system
checks, assist in the customer’s understanding of the Limited Warranty and
assist in completing any necessary forms. They must do a customer orientation
to the motorhome, its systems, components and their operation.
The dealer should also ensure the customer receives a complete Owner’s
Packet with warranty cards and registrations for the motorhome and for sepa-
rately warranted products, including detailed operating and maintenance
instructions. The dealer is responsible for performing a review of the Limited
Warranty provisions with the customer, while stressing the importance of
mailing warranty cards and registrations to the manufacturers within the pre-
scribed time limit to avoid loss of warranty coverage. They must assist the
customer in completing these forms and locating serial numbers. They should
request that the customer reads all warranty information when possible and
explain any provision not clearly understood.
The dealer should instruct the customer on how to obtain local and
out-of-town service on the motorhome and its various individual warranted
components, whether the service is warrantable or out of warranty.

As a new motorhome owner you are responsible for regular and proper
maintenance. This will help you prevent conditions arising from neglect that
are not covered by your Holiday Rambler Limited Warranty. Maintenance
services should be performed in accordance with this Owner’s Manual, and any
other applicable manuals. As the owner it is your responsibility and obligation
to return the motorhome to an authorized dealer for repairs and service (See
Limited Warranty). Since the authorized dealer where you purchased your new
motorhome is responsible for its proper servicing before delivery, and has an
interest in your continued satisfaction, we recommend that Inspection,
Warranty and Maintenance Services be performed by the dealership. We
suggest that you take your new motorhome on a weekend shakedown before
leaving on an extended trip.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to this Owner’s Manual you will find a Warranty Information
File in your unit. This file contains valuable documents about your motorhome
systems and equipment. Many of the component manufacturer’s warranty
registration cards can be found in the box. They will need to be filled out and
mailed. Be sure you read and understand all the information in this file to help
you safely operate, maintain and troubleshoot those items.
HOLIDAY RAMBLER FINISH
Because no two trees look alike, authentic woods vary in color
and character markings such as streaks, knots and grain patterns.
Since the stains may attach differently to these grain patterns,
some natural light and dark areas may result. The beauty lies
in these natural variations of color and grain that give
each cabinet its own individual charm.
The beauty of these products is protected with a furniture-quality
exterior finish. After a period of time, there may be minimal
changes in the finish color as it ages in its surrounding conditions.
This is an inherent characteristic of this particular finish, and the
natural aging process adds to the unique appearance of the cabinetry.
Due to the minor differences in tone, it may not be possible to
match the finish color of existing cabinets exactly when replacing
doors or adding additional cabinets at a later date.
