1. Call 1-(800)-283-8267 or use our website dealer locator to nd an authorized Jayco
dealer in your area. Contact them for an appointment; they will handle all warranty
repair billing and returned parts for you.
2. If you cannot locate an authorized Jayco dealer near you, ask the campground sta for
referrals or check the local telephone yellow pages. Or contact Jayco Customer Service
or your selling dealer for assistance in locating a repair facility.
 Contact the RV repair facility to discuss your situation and make an appointment.
Ask how their billing will be handled. They may choose to bill Jayco directly;
otherwise, you are expected to pay them.
 Have the RV repair facility inspect your RV. Either they or you must call Jayco
Customer Service to discuss applicable warranty coverage prior to any repair
work being performed.
 Jayco Customer Service will issue an authorization number upon warranty repair
approval and advise if any original parts need to be returned.
 Once Jayco Customer Service has issued an authorization number, the RV repair
facility may begin actual repair to your RV.
 Inspect the completed repair work thoroughly. If you are not satised, communi-
cate that immediately to the RV repair facility management. Make sure you are
satised with the repair before you pay or leave the premises.
For reimbursement, either you or the RV repair facility must send a copy of your itemized
repair bill and all requested return parts by UPS (regular ground, freight pre-paid) within 60
days of the completed repair date.
To expedite processing your warranty claim, include your name, address, phone number, RV
17-digit VIN and authorization number. If returning parts, include a copy of your return
freight bill.

rately by their own individual manufacturer’s limited warranty. The Warranty Packet con-
tains these component manufacturer supplied manuals or information sheets, warranty cards
and/or registrations. Consult this information for questions regarding operating, mainte-
nance, servicing instructions and warranty coverage. It is important you complete and mail

Chassis Guide
Throughout this manual, frequent reference is made to the vehicle’s Chassis Guide. The
Chassis Guide includes the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the chassis on
which this motorhome is built, warranty cards and/or registrations. It also includes pertinent
information regarding the transmission, tires, etc. Consult the Chassis Guide for operat-
ing safety, maintenance, servicing instructions and warranty coverage. The Chassis Guide
should be considered a permanent component of the vehicle and kept in the motorhome at
all times for reference.

Change Of Address/Ownership
Please notify our Customer Service Department as soon as possible of a change of address
by writing or calling us. For notication of a change of ownership, please ll out the appro-
priate form located in this manual and mail it to Customer Service along with documentation
showing proof of ownership. Please include your current vehicle mileage (motorized only).
Customer Responsibility
It is important you read and understand all instructions and precautions before operating the
recreation vehicle. Even if you are an experienced RV’er we encourage you to thoroughly
read this Owner’s Manual, as well as the information contained in your Warranty Packet and
Chassis Guide (motorized only).
As technology advances, new improvements enter the RV industry every day, and each RV
manufacturer has its own unique manufacturing process.
Familiarize yourself with the Limited Warranty applicable to your recreation vehicle. There
are components that are excluded or warranted separately by their individual manufacturer’s
limited warranty (refer to the Warranty Packet or Chassis Guide if applicable).
As the new owner of the recreation vehicle, you are responsible for regular and proper
maintenance performed in accordance with this manual and the OEM manuals. Regular and
proper maintenance will help prevent conditions arising from neglect that are not covered by
the limited warranty. It is your responsibility and obligation to return your vehicle to your
dealer for repairs and service.
Suggestions For Obtaining Service
To help ensure your dealer provides the level of service you expect, here are some sugges-
tions we would like to make:

the current issue.

Obtaining Service At Our Customer Service Facility
Should your recreation vehicle be in need of service, and your dealer recommends that the
repairs be made at our Customer Service facility, your recreation vehicle may be returned to
us with the following guidelines*:
 You or your dealer must make a conrmed appointment 60 days prior to dropping
o the recreation vehicle at our Customer Service facility.
 The holding tanks must be emptied and rinsed. We have a dumping station avail-
able for customer use.
 The propane system (if so equipped) and all electrical systems must be shut down
and turned o. We are not responsible for discharged batteries or propane tanks.
 During the appropriate season, please ensure the RV has been winterized.
 Unless prior approval has been obtained from our Customer Service facility, all
personal items must be removed from the area where you are requesting service
repair and the refrigerator emptied. We are not responsible for loss of food items.
 All transportation costs are the responsibility of the owner. You may need to
arrange for alternative accommodations for some types of repairs. Please be pre-
pared accordingly.
*Our Customer Service facility occasionally utilizes local independent repair facilities.
Your vehicle may be referred to or repaired by one of these local repair facilities.
Parts and Accessories
Contact your authorized dealer for assistance in obtaining replacement parts or accessories.
We do not sell direct to retail or non-authorized dealers. If the original part is no longer
available, we will make every eort to provide an appropriate substitute.
Obtaining Service For Separately Warranted Items
Your selling dealer is responsible for servicing your recreational vehicle before delivery,
and has an interest in your continued satisfaction. We recommend your dealer perform all
inspection, warranty and maintenance services. Some dealers may be authorized service
centers for those OEMs whose products are warranted separately and excluded from the

PERSON WHO IS AN INTENDED OR UNINTENDED USER OR BENEFICIARY OF
THE MOTORHOME, ARE NOT ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY CONSEQUENTIAL
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE MOTORHOME. BY
WAY OF EXAMPLE, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDE FUEL AND TRANS-

AND MILDEW AS WELL AS RUST AND CORROSION. THE EXCLUSION OF CON-

OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL SURVIVE ANY FAIL-
URE OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY REMEDIES FULFILLING THEIR PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages,
so the above exclusions may not apply to you.
: The duration of this limited warranty is 2 years after the rst retail
owner takes delivery of the Motorhome from an authorized dealer OR 24,000 miles of use,
whichever occurs rst. If the dealer places the Motorhome in service before retail sale, the
coverage period is 2 years after the dealer rst placed the Motorhome in service OR 24,000
miles of use, whichever occurs rst. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY MUST BE COMMENCED NO
MORE THAN 26 MONTHS AFTER THE BREACH.
The term of this limited warranty is 3 years for substantial defects to any “Structure Com-
ponents”. Structure Components means materials and/or workmanship directly attributable
to Jayco relating to the lamination of the berglass sidewall assembly, the lamination of the
rear wall assembly, the lamination of the berglass front wall (wrap) assembly, sidewall/end
wall/front and rear wall frame assembly (wood and aluminum), roof frame assembly (wood
and aluminum), and oor frame assembly (wood and aluminum). Structure Components
specically excludes front and rear berglass caps and any other cosmetic berglass attach-
ments, sidewall metal (unless the root cause is the wall structure); exterior roof material
(EPDM rubber, TPO, etc.); oor covering (carpet, linoleum, hardwood tile, etc.); all side-
wall, end wall, front and rear wall, roof and oor attachments, and delamination caused by
water intrusion from lack of required exterior seal maintenance or other maintenance. Struc-
ture Components further excludes all items identied under “What is Not Covered” below.
Jayco reserves the right to have new or remanufactured parts of similar quality used to
complete any work, and to make parts and design changes from time to time without notice
to anyone. Jayco reserves the right to make changes in the design or material of its prod-
ucts without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously
manufactured. Jayco makes no warranty as to the future performance of the Motorhome, and
this limited warranty is not intended to extend to the future performance of the Motorhome,
or any of its materials, components or parts. In addition, the Motorhome owner’s obligation
to notify Jayco, or one of its independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not

If the Motorhome is not of the current or prior model year when the rst retail owner takes
delivery, the limited warranty, including but not limited to the limited warranty for substan-
tial defects to Structure Components, ends 90 days after the rst retail owner takes delivery
of the Motorhome OR after the odometer reaches 5,000 miles, whichever occurs rst. ANY
ACTION FOR BREACH OF THIS REDUCED LIMITED WARRANTY OR FOR ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY MUST BE COMMENCED NO MORE THAN 15 MONTHS AF-
TER THE BREACH.
Unless prohibited by state or provincial law, repairs do not extend the time when you must
commence an action for breach of warranty and shall not extend the warranty coverage
period. This reduction in time may not apply to you because some states and provinces do
not allow the reduction of the time to commence an action for breach of warranty. Any per-
formance of repairs after the warranty coverage ends and any performance of repairs to those
portions of your Motorhome excluded from coverage are “good will” repairs, whether or not
Jayco was aware of any such coverage lapse or warranty exclusion at the time of repairs.
Such “good will” repairs do not alter the express terms of this limited warranty or extend the
warranty coverage periods or the limitation period in this paragraph. Jayco is not required
to notify you if authorized repairs are considered “good will” by Jayco. You should expect
the need for warranty repairs. Jayco may use new and/or remanufactured parts and/or com-
ponents to complete a repair. It is likely that warranty repairs were performed at the factory
during assembly OR at the selling dealership after delivery of the Motorhome to your selling
dealer. If you discover a defect or damage to the Motorhome when you take delivery of your
Motorhome, you MUST notify your dealer OR Jayco within 10 days of the date of purchase
to have defect or damage repaired at no cost to you. Minor adjustments will be performed,
free of charge, by the dealer within 90 days of your purchase; thereafter, such adjustments
are your exclusive responsibility as normal maintenance.
 Jayco’s obligation is to repair any covered defect discovered within
the warranty coverage period provided: (1) you notify Jayco or an authorized dealer within
10 days of your discovery of a defect; AND (2) you deliver the Motorhome to Jayco OR an
authorized dealership at your cost and expense.
 If the primary repair remedy fails to successfully cure any defect
after a reasonable number of repair attempts, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be to
have Jayco pay an independent service shop of your choice to perform repairs to the defect
OR have Jayco pay diminished value damages if the defect is incurable. You must exhaust
both the repair remedy and the back-up remedy AND these remedies must fail to fulll their
essential purpose before you can seek any other remedies.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT PROMISES OR EXTENDS
TO FUTURE PERFORMANCE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MAKE A REPRESENTA-
TION ON HOW YOUR MOTORHOME WILL PERFORM IN THE FUTURE BUT REP-
RESENTS ONLY WHAT THE REMEDY WILL BE IF A DEFECT EXISTS.
: To obtain warranty service the owner must:
•Notify Jayco or an authorized Jayco dealer, within the applicable warranty coverage
period designated above, that you are making a warranty claim;
•Provide the notication mentioned in (1), above, within ten (10) days of the discovery
of a defect in material or workmanship; and,
•Promptly schedule an appointment with and take the Motorhome to Jayco or an inde-
pendent, authorized dealer.
