WARNING: Read all instructions in this manual and component
I
manufacturer supplied information before using your RV.
This manual has been provided by Jayco, Inc. for the sole purpose of providing instructions
concerning the operation and maintenance of this vehicle and its components. Nothing in
this manual creates any warranty, either expressed or implied. The only warranty offered by
Jayco, Inc. is as set forth in the limited warranty applicable to this vehicle.
The owner’s failure to provide required service and/or maintenance could result in the loss
of warranty. The owner should review Jayco’s limited warranty and the limited warranties
that apply to specific components that are offered with this vehicle.
Instructions are included in the manual for operating various components which are
optional on some vehicles. In addition, the owner should refer to individual manufacturer’s
operating instructions contained in the owner’s packet.
WARNING:
I
,
Review the compatibility of your tow vehicle with the trailer you will be
towing. You, as the owner, are responsible for the safety and
compatibility of your tow vehicle and trailer selections.
,
You must not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the
trailer. Include all additions, cargo and tank fluids when calculating
the weight of your trailer.
,
Do not exceed the towing or cargo capacity of your tow vehicle. You
must clearly understand how your tow vehicle’s capacities are
calculated.
,
Do not load your trailer so that it is unbalanced from front to rear or
from side to side.
,
Know your loaded hitch weight and select a hitch that is adequate for
that weight. Consult your hitch and tow vehicle manufacturers with
any questions before you tow your trailer.
,
You are responsible for the maintenance of your tow vehicle and
trailer. Make sure your tow vehicle is mechanically sound for your
intended usage. Pay particular attention to suspension components,
tires and tire pressure.
,
We recommend the use of sway control devices and weight
distributing hitches with all Jayco towable products (excluding fifth
wheels, which use a different type of hitch).
,
Obey all traffic laws and use your seatbelts at all times. Many states
have lower speed limit requirements for tow vehicle/trailer
combinations. We recommend that you do not exceed 55 MPH when
towing a trailer.
Consult an expert for specific driver education when towing a trailer. There are private RV
driving schools, and some RV clubs, which offer driving seminars as part of their club
activities. Recreation vehicle publications and the Internet can be a source of information
regarding RV driver education, as well as many other topics to help you learn to safely use
your recreation vehicle.

WARRANTY & SERVICE
Congratulations! Thank you for selecting the
2007 CAMPING TRAILER by Jayco. We are
excited to welcome you to our growing family.
Jayco is proud to be the largest, privately held
manufacturer in the RV industry and we invite
you to stop by our Visitors Center located in
Middlebury, Indiana. We offer regularly
scheduled guided tours of our manufacturing
facilities (closed holidays). If this is of interest,
please contact us at 1-800-RV-JAYCO.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is a guide to the operation and
maintenance of your RV. The CAMPING
TRAILER is available in several sizes and
models, so accessories and components may
differ. Some equipment described in this
manual may not apply to your RV. If you find
the components vary significantly from what is
described, please 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 RV.
The 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.
GOODIE BAG
The Goodie Bag contains original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) operator's manuals,
warranty cards and/or registrations. It is
important you complete and mail the warranty
cards and registrations to each OEM within the
prescribed time limit to avoid loss of warranty
coverage. This Owner's Manual and the
Goodie Bag should be considered a
permanent part of the RV. If the RV is sold,
they should remain with the vehicle 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 RV 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 RV.
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 RV 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), in addition to notifying Jayco

are manufactured for use as
temporary living quarters for
recreation, camping and
travel uses, all as defined by
the bylaws of the
Recreational Vehicle
Industry Association (RVIA).
This recreation vehicle is
not intended for use as a
full-time residence or for
commercial use. Commercial use means

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
At the time of sale of the new RV, your dealer is
expected to explain or provide the following:
0Deliver your RV in the best condition
possible and ensure that it passed the
pre-delivery inspection and all systems
tests.
0Provide orientation of the RV, its systems,
components and operation.
0Request that you read all warranty
information and explain any provision not

been more than 60 days since the purchase of
your new RV and you have not received a
confirmation letter from Jayco, please contact
your selling dealer or Jayco Customer Service.
If you have mailed in a Limited Warranty
Transfer application you will receive a
response letter from Jayco confirming your
warranty status (please allow 6-8 weeks for
processing).
SUGGESTIONS
FOR OBTAINING SERVICE
The independent dealers who are authorized
to sell Jayco RVs 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… Don’t wait
until you are ready to use your RV. 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 and 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 RV’s 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 RV 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.
3
SECTION 1
WARRANTY & SERVICE

Inspect the work performed… Finally,
check out the service or repair job when you
pick up your RV. Notify the dealer’s service
management immediately of any
dissatisfaction. If you cannot return your RV
immediately for repair, make an appointment
as soon as possible.
Please be aware that all service shops require
notification of any issues with their repairs
within a specified time limit. Make sure you are
familiar with their repair policies.
CUSTOMER RELATIONS
Jayco, Inc. 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. (closed
holidays). Please provide the following
information:
0Your name, location and phone number.
0Your RV’s 17-digit vehicle identification
number (VIN).
0Date of purchase.
0Name of the dealership who sold the RV to
you.
0Name and address of the dealer servicing
your RV.
0A detailed description of the concern.
0If applicable, the component description,
serial number and model number.

An important note
about alterations and warranties
Installations or alterations to the original
equipment vehicle as distributed by Jayco, Inc.
are not covered by the Towable Limited
Warranty. The special body company,

event of a recall, you are notified. Please notify
Jayco Customer Service of a change of
address or ownership. Mail the completed
