LIMITATION AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARISING BY WAY OF STATE LAW,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
AND ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THOSE PORTIONS
OF THE MOTORHOME COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
WARRANTOR DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED AND EXPRESS WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
ON COMPONENTS AND APPLIANCES EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE AS
SET FORTH BELOW. There is no warranty of any nature made by Warrantor beyond
that contained in this Limited Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend
or modify this Limited Warranty. The dealer is not the Warrantor’s agent but is an
independent entity. Warrantor is not responsible for any undertaking, representation
or warranty made by any dealer or other person beyond those expressly set forth in
this Limited Warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS:
Warrantor’s Limited Warranty covers defects in the manufacture of your motorhome
and defects in materials used to manufacture your motorhome. “Defect” means the
failure of the motorhome and/or the materials used to assemble the motorhome to
conform to Warrantor’s design and manufacturing specication and tolerances. Also
see the section “What the Warranty Does Not Cover” set out below.
WHAT WE WILL DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS:
Warrantor’s sole and exclusive obligation is to repair and/or replace, at its option, any
covered defect if: (1) you notify Warrantor or one of its authorized servicing dealers of
the defect within the warranty coverage period and within ve (5) days of discovering
the defect; and (2) you deliver your Motorhome to Warrantor or Warrantor’s authorized
servicing dealer at your cost and expense. It is reasonable to expect some service items
to occur during the warranty period. The performance of warranty repairs shall not
extend the original warranty coverage period. Further, any performance of repairs after
the warranty coverage period has expired or any performance of repairs to component
parts and appliances that are excluded from coverage shall be considered “good will”
repairs, which shall not alter the express terms of this limited warranty. If the repair
or replacement remedy fails to successfully cure a defect after Warrantor received a
reasonable opportunity to cure the defect(s), your sole and exclusive remedy shall be
limited to Warrantor paying you the cost of having an independent third party perform
repair(s) to the defect(s).
Warrantor may use new and/or remanufactured parts and/or components of
substantially equal quality to complete any repair.
Defects and/or damage to interior and exterior surfaces, trim, upholstery and other
appearance items may occur at the factory during manufacture, during delivery of
the motorhome to the selling dealer or on the selling dealer’s lot. Normally, any such
defect or damage is detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer during
the inspection process performed by the Warrantor and the selling dealer. If, however,
you discover any such defect or damage when you take delivery of the motorhome, you
must notify your dealer or Warrantor within ve days of the date of purchase to have
repairs performed to the defect at no cost to you as provided by this Limited Warranty.
If either three or more unsuccessful repair attempts have been made to correct any
covered defect that you believe substantially impairs the value, use or safety of your
motorhome or repairs to any covered defect(s), which you believe substantially impairs
the value, use or safety of your motorhome, have taken 30 or more days to complete,
you must, to the extent permitted by law, notify Warrantor directly in writing of the
failure to successfully repair the defect(s) so that Warrantor can become directly
involved in exercising a repair attempt for the purpose of performing a successful
repair to the identied defect(s).

Purge Cycle - The time during which the air
dryer is undergoing purge and regeneration.
This cycle starts at the beginning of the
compressor unload cycle and normally ends
well before the beginning of the compressor
load cycle.

GENERAL INFORMATION - 1

Regeneration - The mild back ow of air
through the air dryer and out the purge valve
that begins immediately after the purge
and lasts normally 10 to 15 seconds. This
back ow of air, from the air system and
through the air dryer, removes moisture from
the desiccant cartridge and prepares the air
dryer for the next compressor load cycle.
Roadside - This refers to the side of the
motorhome which faces the road when it is
parked. Often called the off-door side or the
driver side.
SCA - Term for Supplemental Coolant
Additive. Chemical added to coolant for
diesel engines to help prevent cylinder liner
pitting and internal corrosion.
Shore Line - This is the electrical cord
which runs from the motorhome to the
campground 120 Volt AC electrical supply.
Shore Line Plug - The 120/240 Volt AC
outlet allows the motorhome to be hooked
up to a campground facility.
Stinger - An arm attachment on a tow truck
that is used to lift the motorhome slightly so
that it can be towed.
Volt - The unit of measure for electric
potential.
Watt - The unit for measuring electrical
power, i.e. the rate of doing work, in moving
electrons by or against an electric potential.

DRIVING & SAFETY
Section Two contains information on driving
tips, emergency situations, towing, safety
devices, weighing the motorhome and tires.
NOTE:
The motorhome has an electronic
data recording device that may record
information about direction, road speed,
engine speed, brake application, steering
attitude or other vehicle operating data.
Data recording devices can be present
in engines, transmissions, ABS (Antilock
Brake Systems) or other systems
affiliated with operation of the vehicle.
Information from data recording devices
can be examined in case of an accident.
Contact the component manufacturer to
learn more about these devices.
Inspections
There are signi cant differences between a
passenger automobile and a motorhome. Always
be aware of these differences when traveling.
The key to safely operating a motorhome is
inspection. Undetected problems could cause
problems on the road and may result in lost
time and increased repair costs. Several states
require a special license endorsement and that
the motorhome be inspected prior to registration.
Know and observe the laws of the states in
which you will be traveling. Laws may vary
from state to state. A systematic inspection
conducted prior to moving the motorhome can
help ensure nothing is overlooked and will assist
in familiarizing the owner with the motorhome.
Prior to moving the motorhome perform a
general inspection, which includes examining
the condition of the motorhome and the
surrounding area of the motorhome. Look high
and low when walking around the motorhome.
Familiarize Yourself
Because the location of the driver’s seat in
the motorhome is higher and farther to the left
than most vehicles, a different perspective of
the roadway is created. Rely on the outside
mirrors to line up with the center of the road
and to check conditions behind the motorhome.
The dashboard may include more gauges and
controls than are normally found in passenger
automobiles. Become familiar with these
gauges and their indications before starting out.
Mirror Adjust
Adjust the mirrors prior to starting out. It is
recommended that an assistant help to simplify
the mirror adjustment process.
Mirror Adjust:
Adjust the driver seat
to travel position.
Using a ¾" socket,
have an assistant
loosen the bolt
located at the base of
the mirror (see Aon
illustration).
Tighten the bolt when properly adjusted.
Use a at-head screwdriver to remove
the screw caps at point B.
Using a 3/16" allen wrench, have an
assistant loosen the set screws at point B.
Adjust the mirror, and
tighten set screws and
screw caps.
Fine tune mirror placement
with the mirror adjust
switch on the driver’s
console.
Safety Seat Belts
All occupants must be furnished with and
use seat belts while the motorhome is moving.
The driver’s seat, and all other seats designed
to carry passengers while the motorhome is in
motion, are equipped with safety seat belts. DO
NOT occupy beds or seats that are not equipped
with a safety belt while the motorhome is in
motion. The driver’s seat must be locked in the
forward facing position while motorhome is in
motion. DO NOT use a seat belt on more than
one person.

DRIVING & SAFETY - 2
CAY M A N 2 007 15
To fasten the seat belt, pull the belt out of the
retractors and insert the tab into the buckle; a
click will sound when the tab locks into the
buckle. Seat belt lengths automatically adjust to
your size and sitting position. DO NOT route
belts over armrest.
WARNING:
Safety belts are supplied at affixed
seating positions. DO NOT occupy seats
not equipped with safety belts while the
motorhome is in motion. Seat belts must
only be used on permanently mounted
seats. DO NOT use a single seat belt on
more than one person. Pilot and Co-
pilot seats must be locked in a forward
facing position with seat belts fastened
while the motorhome is in motion. Avoid
seat rotation while in transit.
Child Safety Seat:
Children that t into Example 1 and
Example 2 require the use of a child safety
seat. In the motorhome, the child safety seat
can be positioned in two places: the front
passenger (co-pilot) seat and the forward facing
permanently mounted booth dinette seat.
WARNING:
Only forward facing booth dinette seats
equipped with seat belts are designed
for occupancy while the motorhome is
in motion.
WARNING:
Children must not be transported
unrestrained. Infants must be placed in
approved safety seats. Small children
must be restrained in child safety seats.
DO NOT use a single seat belt on more
than one child. Failure to comply with
these rules can lead to injury or death.
NOTE:
Individual states and Canadian
provinces may have laws that can
exceed the requirements described
above. It is your obligation to know
and comply with the laws in the state or
province in which you travel.
A child safety seat is required for any child:
Infants - from birth to one year, or up
to 21 pounds, the child is considered an
infant. A (convertible) safety seat for an
infant must be secured facing to the rear.
The top of the head must be below the
top of the safety seat. Secure safety seat
harness straps at or below the shoulders
(Example 1).
Toddlers - Children over one year and
between 20-40 pounds are considered
toddlers. A (convertible) safety seat for
a child must be secured facing forward.
The top of the head must be below the
top of the safety seat. Secure safety seat
harness straps at or below the shoulders
(Example 2). Most seats require a top
slot for facing forward.
Young Children - Children (ages four
to eight) over 40 pounds and under 4' 9"
require a booster seat. The booster seat
places the child’s waist and shoulders at
the proper height for the supplied safety
belt to be effective. The top of the head
must be below the top of the safety seat
(Example 2).
WARNING:
Installation illustrations are for reference
only, and are not to be used as a guide.
Because there are many styles of safety
and booster seats, refer to the safety
seat manufacturer’s manual for proper
installation and how to properly install
and secure the safety or booster seat.
NOTE:
Individual states and Canadian
provinces may prohibit use of a safety
or booster seat in the front seat.
Example 2: High back booster seat facing forward.

Seat Belt Care:
Keep the belt clean and dry. Clean with mild
soap and lukewarm water. DO NOT clean seat
belts with bleach, dye or abrasive cleansers
that may weaken the belt material. Periodically
inspect belts for cuts, frays or loose parts, and
replace damaged parts. DO NOT disassemble
or modify the system. Replace the seat belt
assembly after a severe impact, even when
damage is not obvious.
DRIVING TIPS
The motorhome is a complex vehicle that
requires increased driving awareness because
of its size and various components. Due to the
motorhome length the turning radius will be
much wider than that of a standard automobile.
Always pay close attention to the perimeter of
the motorhome including front, sides, rear, roof
and undercarriage. Ensure the surrounding area
is clear of obstacles. Utilize the driving mirrors to
observe traf c conditions as well as the motorhome
exterior including tires, bay doors, blind spots, etc.
Use a push-pull method of steering, with both hands
parallel on the steering wheel.
The motorhome is heavier than an automobile
and has a higher center of gravity. Both affect
the reaction time of the motorhome. Swerving
and sharp turning, especially performed at high
speeds, could result in loss of control of the
motorhome. Keep the size of the motorhome
in mind and drive with extra caution to avoid
situations which might require quick momentum
changes. Increase reaction time by paying
attention to traf c and road conditions 12 to 15
seconds ahead of the motorhome’s position.
The motorhome will travel safely
and comfortably at highway speed
limits. However, it takes more time to
reach highway speed. When passing
another vehicle, allow extra time and
space to complete the pass due to the added
length of the motorhome.
When descending a long hill, manually shift
to a lower gear and begin the descent at a slow
speed. DO NOT allow the motorhome to gain
momentum before trying to slow down. Use the
engine brake in conjunction with the service
brakes to help maintain a safe, slow descent.
The transmission and engine will help control
downhill speed and can extend the service life
of the brake lining. Distance required to stop
the motorhome is greater than an automobile.
Practice stopping away from traf c to get
the “feel” of distance required to stop the
motorhome.
Adjust the pilot seat to a comfortable position.
Stay seated, and adjust the outside mirrors if
necessary to gain a clear line of vision down
both sides of the motorhome. After the outside
mirrors have been adjusted, con rm the rear
view camera system is working and clear of any
obstruction.
In the normal course of travel different types of
roads (urban, rural, primitive) will be encountered
along with different weather (rain, wind, snow,
sun) and terrain (mountains, desert, coastal).
Adjusting to road, weather and terrain conditions
is necessary to keep the motorhome under control.
Pay attention to road signs that advise of local road
hazards and driving conditions.
The cockpit, dash area and windshield are
larger than those found on passenger cars and
trucks. Pay special attention to keeping the
windshield clear of humidity in the form of
water or ice. Start the motorhome and turn
on the dash defrost and the overhead blowers
to help remove moisture from inside the
windshield. It may also be necessary to use a
clean cloth to wipe away moisture.
Keep windshield wipers in good working
order at all times. Keep the windshield clear. Do
not operate the motorhome when road, weather
and terrain conditions seem unsafe.
Check tonnage limits of bridges before
crossing to ensure they can support the weight
of the motorhome. Signs should be posted at
bridge entrances. Check the posted height of
all overpasses or situations where overhead
clearance is limited. Keep in mind that road
surfaces may be repaved or packed with snow;
therefore, the actual posted clearance height
would not apply in such conditions.
Driving Cautions:
Avoid getting too close to the shoulder
of the road, which may be too soft to
support the weight of the motorhome.
Side spacing is best maintained by
keeping the motorhome centered in the
driving lane.
Driving lanes in work zones can be uneven,
congested and narrower than usual.
Be cautious of road debris that can
damage the undercarriage of the
motorhome or become lodged in the
dual tires and cause damage to the tires,
wheel rims or tow vehicle.
