IWARNING: Read all instructions in this manual and component part
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 component parts. Nothing
in this manual creates any warranty, either expressed or implied. The only warranty
offered by Jayco, Inc. is the limited, express warranty applicable to this vehicle.
The owner’s failure to provide required service and/or maintenance results in the loss of
warranty. The owner should review Jayco’s limited, express warranty and the warranties
that apply to specific component parts that are offered with this vehicle.
Instructions are included in the manual for operating various component parts which are
optional on some vehicles. In addition, the owner should refer to individual
manufacturer’s operating instructions contained in the owner’s packet.
IWARNING:
VReview 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.
VYou 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.
VDo not exceed the towing or cargo capacity of your tow vehicle. You
must clearly understand how your tow vehicle’s capacities are
calculated.
VDo not load your trailer so that it is unbalanced from front to rear or
from side to side.
VKnow 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.
VYou 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.
VWe 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).
VObey 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
The following pages contain warranty information. It is our recommendation that you read
through Jayco’s warranty and all other warranties. If there is any part which you do not
understand, consult with your independent, authorized dealer, appropriate component part
manufacturer, or Jayco for further explanation. The warranty titles are defined as follows:
•Towable Limited Warranty - Also referred to as the 2+3 Warranty, this comes
direct from the manufacturer to the original purchaser. It provides limited coverage
for 2 years (24 months) against substantial defects in materials and workmanship, and
3 years (36 months) on structure. Beyond this, it can be transferred one time only
within the warranty period.
•Warranty Registration & Customer Delivery Form - This form is to be completed
by the independent, authorized dealer when you pick up your unit. Once it is
completed and signed, the independent, authorized dealer will forward the
information to us so we can register your trailer.
•Limited Warranty Transfer Application - This is the form required to transfer the
warranty as indicated above in the Towable Limited Warranty. This form must be
completed and filed as instructed for the transfer to occur. If you have questions,
consult with your independent, authorized dealer.

TOWABLE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED
The Jayco warranty covers this recreational vehicle (“RV”), when used only for its intended purpose of recreational travel
and camping, for two (2) years. In addition, it covers the structural integrity (defined as something essential to the manner
of construction during the assembly process) of the sidewalls, floor, roof and frame for one (1) additional year. The war-
ranty periods begin on the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser by an independent, authorized dealer of
Jayco, or, if the dealer places the vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in such service. In
the event that a substantial defect in material or workmanship, attributable to Jayco, is found to exist during the warranty
periods, it will be repaired or replaced, at Jayco’s option, without charge to the RV owner, in accordance with the terms,
conditions and limitations of this limited warranty.
This limited warranty applies to the first consumer purchaser, and the next subsequent owner, only. This limited, express
warranty may be transferred once during the warranty period. However, the subsequent owner must submit a warranty
transfer form to Jayco to make the warranty transfer effective. You may contact an independent, authorized dealer for de-
tails. All rights and limitations within this warranty are applicable to the original owner and the subsequent owner of the
RV. The subsequent owner’s warranty coverage periods are the remaining balance of the warranty coverage periods that
the prior owner was entitled to under this limited warranty.
Jayco’s obligation to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship is the sole obligation of Jayco under this lim-
ited warranty. Jayco reserves the right to use new or remanufactured parts of similar quality 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 products without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously
manufactured. Jayco makes no warranty as to the future performance of this RV, and this limited warranty is not intended
to extend to the future performance of this RV, or any of its materials, components or parts. In addition, the RV owner’s
obligation to notify Jayco, or one of its independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not modify any obliga-
tion placed on the RV owner to contact Jayco directly when attempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.
LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT IS FOUND TO ARISE BY WAY OF STATE OR FEDERAL LAW, IN-
CLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
FITNESS, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
AND IS LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THE SCOPE OF COVERAGE OF THIS LIMITED WAR-
RANTY. Jayco makes no warranty of any nature beyond that contained in this limited warranty. Jayco does not authorize
any person to create any other obligation or liability for it regarding this RV, and Jayco is not responsible for representa-
tion, promise or warranty made by any dealer or other person beyond what is expressly stated in this limited, express war-
ranty, and no one has the authority to enlarge, amend or modify this limited, express warranty. Any selling or servicing
dealer is not Jayco’s agent, but an independent entity.
JAYCO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY
RESULT FROM BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY. THIS EX-
CLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE INDEPENDENT OF ANY
FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY WARRANTY, AND THIS EXCLUSION SHALL SUR-
VIVE ANY DETERMINATION THAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY HAS
FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Warranty/Service

HOW TO GET SERVICE
To obtain warranty service the owner must do all of the following:
1. Notify an independent, authorized dealer of Jayco, or Jayco, of the substantial defect in material or workmanship at-
tributable to Jayco, within the applicable warranty coverage period designated above that you are making a warranty
claim under;
2. Provide the notification mentioned in one (1), above, within ten (10) days of when the owner discovered, or should
have discovered, the substantial defect in material or workmanship attributable to Jayco; and
3. Promptly schedule an appointment with and take the RV to an independent, authorized dealer of Jayco, or Jayco, for
repairs; and
4. Pays any freight or transportation costs, import duties, fees and all incidental expenses associated with obtaining war-
ranty service.
For warranty service, simply contact one of Jayco’s independent, authorized service centers for an appointment and then
deliver your RV to the service center on the specified appointment date. If you need assistance you may contact Jayco, at
P.O. Box 460, Middlebury, Indiana 46540, Attn: Aftermarket Service, [phone], or http://www.jayco.com.
NOTE: Jayco does not control the scheduling of service work at the independent,
authorized dealerships. You may encounter some delay in scheduling or comple-
tion of work.
If two (2) or more service attempts have been made to correct any covered defect that you believe impairs the value, use or
safety of the RV, or if it has taken longer than thirty (30) days for those types of repairs to be completed, you must, to the
extent permitted by law, notify Jayco directly, in writing, at the above address, of the unsuccessful repair(s) of the alleged
defect(s) so that Jayco can become directly involved in making sure that you are provided service pursuant to the terms of
this limited warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
By way of example only, this Limited Warranty does not cover any of the following: defects in materials, components or
parts of the RV not attributable to Jayco, items that are added or changed after the RV leaves the possession of Jayco; addi-
tional equipment or accessories installed at any dealership, or other place of business, or by any other party, other than
Jayco; any RV used for rental or other commercial purposes (Note: It shall be concluded that the RV has been used for
commercial and/or business purposes if the RV owner or user files a tax form claiming any business or commercial tax
benefit related to the RV, or if the RV is purchased in a business name); normal wear, tear or usage, such as tears, punc-
tures, soiling, mildew, fading, or discoloration of exterior plastic or fiberglass, or soft goods, such as upholstery, drapes,
carpet, vinyl, screens, cushions, mattresses and fabrics; the effects of condensation or moisture from condensation inside
the RV; mold or any damage caused by mold to the inside or outside of the RV; imperfections that do not affect the suit-
ability of the RV for its intended purpose of recreational use or items that are working as designed but that you are unhappy
with; problems, including water leaks, related to misuse, mishandling, neglect or abuse, including failure to maintain the
RV in accordance with the owner’s manual, or other routine maintenance such as inspections, lubricating, adjustments,
tightening of screws, tightening of lug nuts, sealing, rotating tires; damage due to accident, whether or not foreseeable, in-
cluding any acts of weather or damage or corrosion due to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire, or other intervening acts
not attributable to Jayco; damage resulting from tire wear or tire failure; defacing, scratches, dents, chips on any surface or
fabric of the RV; damage caused by off road use, overloading the RV or alteration of the RV, or any of its components or
parts; wheel alignment or adjustments to axles when caused by improper maintenance, loading or damage from road haz-
ards, including off road travel, wheel damage or balancing or damage from tire failures.
In addition, this limited warranty does not cover any material, component or part of the RV that is warranted by another en-
tity, including, by way of example, handling, braking, wheel balance, muffler, tires, tubes, batteries, gauges, generator,
jacks, inverter, microwave, television, VCR, CD player, tape player, radio, speakers, television, refrigerator, range, water
heater, stove, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, furnace or any air conditioner. (Note: The written warranty pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the component part is the direct responsibility of that manufacturer).

Warranty/Service

EVENTS DISCHARGING JAYCO FROM OBLIGATION UNDER WARRANTY
Certain things completely discharge Jayco from any obligation under this warranty and void it. By way of example, the
following shall discharge Jayco from any express or implied warranty obligation to repair or replace any defect that results
from: any rental or other commercial use or purchase of the RV (as defined in this warranty), any defect in a separately
manufactured component part, owner neglect or failure to provide routine maintenance (See Owner’s Manual), unautho-
rized alteration, off road use, collision or accident, whether or not foreseeable, including any acts of weather or damage or
corrosion due to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire, explosions, overloading in excess of weight ratings, and tamper-
ing with any portion of the RV.
LEGAL REMEDIES
Any action to enforce any portion of this limited, express warranty, or any implied warranty, shall be commenced within
six (6) months after expiration of the warranty coverage period designated above that you are trying to enforce. Any per-
formance of repairs shall not suspend any limitation period from expiring. Any performance of repairs after the warranty
coverage periods have expired, or performance of repairs regarding any thing excluded from coverage under this limited
warranty shall be considered “good will” repairs, and they will not alter the express terms of this limited warranty, or ex-
tend the warranty coverage periods or this limitation period in this paragraph. In addition, this warranty is not intended to
extend to future performance, and nothing in this warranty, or any action of Jayco, or any agent of Jayco, shall be inter-
preted as an extension of the warranty or this limitation period. Some states do not allow a reduction in the statute of limita-
tions, so this reduction may not apply to you.
WARRANTY REGISTRATIONS:
Your warranty registration records should be completed and delivered to the manufacturers of component parts. The sell-
ing dealership will assist you in completing and filling out the Jayco product warranty registration form. That form must
be returned to Jayco within ten (10) days of your taking delivery of the RV. Your Jayco warranty will not be registered un-
less this warranty registration is completed and received by Jayco. Failure to file this warranty registration with Jayco will
not affect your rights under this limited, express warranty as long as you can present proof of purchase, but it can cause de-
lays in obtaining the benefits of this limited, express warranty, and it may inhibit any servicing facility’s ability to provide
proper repairs and/or part replacement.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to perform proper care and maintenance of the RV, and to assure correct load distribu-
tion. For details regarding this, please see your Jayco owner’s manual and the owner’s manuals of other component part
manufacturers. These outline various care and maintenance that is required to maintain your RV. Please review all manu-
als supplied with your RV, and contact your selling dealership or supplier of the component part if you have questions.
Note: Failure to maintain the RV as noted in those manuals voids this limited, express warranty, and any damage to the RV
as a result of your failure to perform such care, is not covered by this limited, express warranty.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
