Congratulations! Thank you for selecting a
Jayco park trailer. We are excited to welcome
you to our growing park trailer family. Jayco is
the largest privately held manufacturer of
recreation vehicles in the world. We are
committed to being the most respected name
in RVs. We invite you to drop by our Visitors
Center located in Middlebury, Indiana. To
book a group tour or check our scheduled
factory tour times (free admission, closed
holidays) please call 1-800-RV-JAYCO.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is a guide to the operation and
maintenance of your park trailer. Jayco park
trailers are available in several sizes and
models, so accessories and components may
differ. Some equipment described in this
manual may not apply to your park trailer. If
you find the components vary significantly
from what is described, contact your dealer to
ensure you have the correct information.
Nothing in this manual creates any warranty,
either expressed or implied, nor does it cover
every possible detail of equipment, standard
or option, installed on or in your park trailer.
Information, illustrations and specifications in
this manual reflect the most current available
at the time of publication approval, are subject
to change and not intended to indicate actual
size.
THE GOODIE BAG
The Goodie Bag contains original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) operator manuals,
warranty cards and/or registrations. It is
important you complete and mail the warranty
cards and registrations within the prescribed
time limits to avoid loss of warranty coverage.
This manual and the Goodie Bag should be
considered a permanent part of the park
trailer. If the park trailer is sold, they should
remain with the park trailer for the next owner.
SAFETY ALERTS
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. To help you make informed
decisions, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on safety
labels affixed to your park trailer and in this
manual. Please call your dealer or Jayco
Customer Service if you are unsure how to
proceed. Always use the appropriate safety
gear when servicing or maintaining your park
trailer.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
In the United States
If you believe that your park trailer has an
alleged defect that could cause a crash or
cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) and Jayco.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles it
may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in

If you believe your park trailer has an alleged
safety defect, you should contact Transport
Canada and Jayco. Transport Canada prefers

your questions accurately. For additional
information, please refer to the Transport
Canada website at www.tc.gc.ca.
To contact Transport Canada by phone:
Call 1-800-333-0510 (or 1-613-993-9851 if

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Jayco park trailers are
designed and intended for
use as vacation seasonal
dwellings. This park trailer
is not intended for use as a
full-time residence or for
commercial use.
Commercial use means using the park trailer
as a business asset such as a mobile office or
using the park trailer for lease or rental
purposes. The Recreation Park Trailer
Industry Association (RPTIA) and Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) periodically
inspect our manufacturing facilities to assist
us in maintaining strict compliance with
installation and safety standards for park
trailers
Jayco reserves the right to discontinue or
change specifications or design at any time
without notice and without incurring any
obligation whatsoever. Park trailers built for
sale in Canada may differ to conform to
Canadian Codes.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
It is important you read and understand the
information in this manual and your Goodie
Bag before using your park trailer.
Familiarize yourself with the applicable
warranties. You are responsible for ensuring
the procedures for obtaining warranty repair
are followed properly. It is your responsibility
and obligation to return your park trailer to
your dealer for warranty service repair.
As the owner of the park trailer, 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 warranty.
As with your other personal belongings, it is
important to protect yourself and others with
insurance coverage. Your insurance agent
can assist you in obtaining the appropriate
insurance coverage for personal liability, theft,
collision, property damage, etc.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
At the time of sale of the new park trailer, your
dealer is expected to:
□Deliver your park trailer in the best
condition possible. Your park trailer must
pass the dealer’s pre-delivery inspection
(PDI), including all systems tests.
□Provide orientation of the park trailer, its
systems, components and operation.

SECTION 1
WARRANTY & SERVICE
3
□Request that you read all warranty
information and explain any provision not
clearly understood.
□Ensure you receive the Goodie Bag. Your
dealer can assist you in completing the
OEM warranty cards or registrations, and
locate any required component model or
serial numbers.
□Complete and return the “Warranty
Registration and Customer Delivery Form”
to Jayco within 10 days of delivery to
activate the applicable warranty coverage.
The Jay Flight Bungalow Park Trailer
Limited Warranty is activated only after
Jayco receives a signed and dated “Warranty
Registration and Customer Delivery Form”
from your dealer. If it has been more than 60
days since the purchase of your new park
trailer and you have not received a
confirmation letter from Jayco, please contact
Jayco Customer Service.
SUGGESTIONS
FOR OBTAINING SERVICE
The independent dealers authorized to sell
Jayco park trailers are also there to provide
service after the sale. We work closely with
them in an effort to keep you satisfied. To
help ensure your dealer provides the level of
service you expect, here are some
suggestions we would like to make:
Contact your dealer at once… Do not wait
until you are ready to use your park trailer.
Your dealer may not be able to service it
immediately and/or the repair may require
parts be ordered. The dealer’s service
department is busiest on Mondays, Fridays
and before the holidays.
Prepare for the appointment… If you are
having warranty work performed, be sure to
have the right papers with you. Take your
warranty folder and have your vehicle
information available. Not all the work to be
performed may be covered by the warranty;
discuss additional charges with the dealer’s
service management.
Prepare a list… Provide your dealer with a
written list of specific repairs needed. It is
important that you provide any vehicle repair
history to the dealer’s service manager. Keep
a maintenance log of your park trailer service
history. This can often provide a clue to the
current issue.
Be reasonable with your requests… If you
leave a list with several items and you need
your park trailer returned back by a specific
time, discuss the situation with the dealer’s
service management and list your items in
order of priority. This may include making a
second appointment for work not completed
or parts that the dealer may need to order.
Don’t expect to look over the technician’s
shoulder… Please do not be offended if you
are told you cannot watch the work being
done. Some insurance requirements forbid
admission of customers to the service area.
Inspect the work performed… Finally, check
out the service or repair job when you pick up
your park trailer. Notify the dealer’s service
management immediately of any
dissatisfaction. If you cannot return your park
trailer immediately for repair, make an
appointment as soon as possible.
Please be aware that all repair businesses
require notification of any issues with their
repairs within a specified time limit. Make sure
you are familiar with your dealer or RV repair
center’s repair policies.
CUSTOMER RELATIONS
Jayco, has empowered its dealers to make
warranty and repair decisions. If a special
circumstance occurs that requires information
from Jayco, we have asked your dealer’s
service management to make the contact on
your behalf. This is why you should always
talk to your dealer’s service management
first.
Most issues arise from misunderstandings
about warranty or service needs. We
recognize that, on some occasions, you will
not be totally satisfied with a dealer’s decision
or actions. If this is the case, you should write
or call Jayco Customer Service. Our hours
are Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
EST (closed holidays).

OBTAINING
EMERGENCY WARRANTY REPAIR
A roadside emergency can happen at any

you are traveling, using the following
guidelines can help get you back on the road
faster.
1. Call 1-800-RV-JAYCO or use our website
dealer locator to find 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 staff
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.
a. 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.
b. Have the RV repair facility inspect
your park trailer. Either they or you
must call Jayco Customer Service to
discuss applicable warranty coverage
prior to any repair work being
performed.
c. Jayco Customer Service will issue an
authorization number upon warranty
repair approval and advise if any
original parts need to be returned.
d. Once Jayco Customer Service has
issued an authorization number, the
RV repair facility may begin actual
repair to your park trailer.
e. Inspect the completed repair work
thoroughly. If you are not satisfied,
communicate that immediately to the
RV repair facility management. Make
sure you are satisfied with the repair
before you pay or leave the premises.
f. 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,
park trailer 17-digit VIN and authorization
number. If returning parts, include a copy of
your return freight bill.
Obtaining weekend or
after business hours repair assistance
If an authorized Jayco dealer is not located

assistance. If your dealer is closed, check
with the campground staff or telephone yellow
pages for an RV repair facility. Have the item
repaired and contact Jayco Customer Service
immediately the following business day.
Failure to contact Jayco Customer Service,
unauthorized or improper warranty repairs, or
failure to return requested original parts may
result in loss of reimbursements and/or loss of
warranty.
