WARRANTY - LIMITED: DYNASTY 2006
MONACO MOTORHOME LIMITED WARRANTY
What the Period of Coverage Is:
If you use your Monaco® motorhome only for recreational travel and family camping purposes, the Limited
Warranty provided by Monaco (“Warrantor”) covers your new motorhome when sold by an authorized dealer,
for twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase date or the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs
first. However, the Limited Warranty provided by Warrantor covers the steel or aluminum frame structure of
the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front walls for sixty (60) months from the original retail
purchase date or the first 50,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first.
If you use your motorhome for any rental, commercial or business purposes whatsoever, the Limited Warranty
provided by Warrantor covers your new motorhome when sold by an authorized dealer for ninety (90) days from
the original retail purchase date or the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first. In addition, the Limited
Warranty provided by Warrantor covers the steel or aluminum frame structure of the sidewalls (excluding slide
outs), roof, and rear and front walls for twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase date or the first
24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first. A conclusive presumption that your motorhome has been used for
commercial and/or business purposes arises if you have filed a federal or state tax form claiming any business tax
benefit related to your ownership of the motorhome.
The above Limited Warranty coverage applies to all owners, including subsequent owners, of the motorhome.
However, a subsequent owner must submit a warranty transfer form by filing the form through an authorized
Monaco dealer. A subsequent owner’s warranty coverage period is the remaining balance of the warranty
coverage period the prior owner was entitled to under this Limited Warranty. Warranty transfer forms can be
obtained by contacting the Customer Relations Department. There is no charge for the transfer.
Limitations 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

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 specification and tolerances. Also
see the section “What the Warranty Does Not Cover” set out below.
What We Will Do To Correct Problems
Warrantor will 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 five (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 excluded from coverage shall be considered “good will” repairs, which shall not
alter the express terms of this limited warranty.
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
five 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 final repair
attempt for the purpose of performing a successful repair to the identified defect(s).
How to Get Service
The “Acknowledgement of Receipt of Warranty/Production Information” form must be returned to Warrantor
promptly upon purchase to assure proper part replacement and repair of your motorhome. Failure to return the
“Acknowledgement of Receipt of Warranty/Production Information” form will not affect your rights under the
Limited Warranty so long as you can furnish proof of purchase. For warranty service simply contact one of
Warrantor’s authorized service centers for an appointment, then deliver your motorhome (at your expense) to
the service center. If you need assistance in locating an authorized warranty service facility, contact Warrantor’s

DYNASTY 2006 WARRANTY — 3
In the event the motorhome is inoperative due to malfunction of a warranted part, Warrantor will pay the cost
of having the motorhome towed to the nearest authorized repair facility provided you notify Warrantor prior to
incurring the towing charges to receive directions to the nearest repair facility.
Because Warrantor does not control the scheduling of service work by its authorized servicing dealers, you
may encounter some delay in scheduling and/or in the completion of the repairs.
What the Warranty Does Not Cover
This Limited Warranty does not cover: any motorhome sold or registered outside of the United States or
Canada; items which are added or changed after the motorhome leaves Warrantor’s possession; items that are
working as designed but which you are unhappy with because of the design; normal wear and usage, such as
fading or discoloration of fabrics, or the effects of condensation inside the motorhome; defacing, scratching,
dents and chips on any surface or fabric of the motorhome, not caused by Warrantor; routine maintenance,
including by way of example wheel alignments; the automotive chassis and power train, including, by way of
example the engine, drivetrain, steering and handling, braking, wheel balance, muffler, tires, tubes, batteries and
gauges; appliances and components covered by their own manufacturer’s warranty including, by way of example
the microwave, refrigerator, ice maker, stove, oven, generator, roof air conditioners, hydraulic jacks, VCR,
television(s), water heater, furnace, stereo, radio, compact disc player, washer, dryer, inverter and cellular phone;
or flaking, peeling and chips or other defects or damage in or to the exterior or finish caused by rocks or other
road hazards, the environment including airborne pollutants, salt, tree sap and hail. Component part and appliance
manufacturers issue limited warranties covering those portions of the motorhome not covered by the Limited
Warranty issued by Warrantor. To learn more on what specific component parts and appliances are excluded from
the Limited Warranty issued by Warrantor please contact your selling dealership or Warrantor directly or review
the warranty packet inside the Motorhome.
Events Discharging Warrantor From Obligation Under Warranty
Misuse or neglect, accidents, unauthorized alteration, failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance
(See Owner’s Manual), damage caused by off road use, collision, fire, theft, vandalism, explosions, overloading
in excess of rated capacities, and odometer tampering shall discharge Warrantor from any express or implied
warranty obligation to repair any resulting defect.
Disclaimer of Consequential & Incidental Damages
THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE MOTORHOME AND ANY PERSON TO WHOM THE
MOTORHOME IS TRANSFERRED, AND ANY PERSON WHO IS AN INTENDED OR UNINTENDED
USER OR BENEFICIARY OF THE MOTORHOME, SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER
FROM WARRANTOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
ANY DEFECT IN THE MOTORHOME. THE EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES SHALL BE DEEMED INDEPENDENT OF, AND SHALL SURVIVE, ANY FAILURE OF
THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of consequential or incidental damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

Wood Finish
Because no two trees look alike, authentic woods vary in color
and character markings such as streaks, knots and grain patterns.
Since the stains may attach differently to these grain patterns, some
natural light and dark areas may result. The beauty lies in these
natural variations of color and grain that give each cabinet its own
individual charm.
The beauty of these products is protected with a furniture-quality
exterior finish. After a period of time, there may be minimal changes
in the finish color as it ages in its surrounding conditions. This is an
inherent characteristic of this particular finish, and the natural aging
process adds to the unique appearance of the cabinetry. Due to the
minor differences in tone, it may not be possible to match the finish
color of existing cabinets exactly when replacing doors or adding
additional cabinets at a later date.
The foregoing is not a warning. See the Limited Warranty or call [phone]
for warranty information and limitations.

Air Compressor - Pumps air to and builds air pressure in an air system.
Air Dryer - Cools, filters and dries the air delivered by an air compressor.
Air Governor - Controls the operation of the air compressor by constantly monitoring air pressure
in the supply tank of the air system. The air governor initiates the unload cycle when the cut-out
pressure is reached.
Alternating Current (AC) - A current that varies periodically in magnitude and direction. A battery
does not deliver alternating current. Also referred to as shore power, utility power, inverter
power, generator power, etc.
Ampere (Amp) - The unit of measure of electron flow rate of current through a circuit.
Ampere-hour (Amp-hr. AH) - A unit of measure for a battery electrical storage capacity, obtained
by multiplying the current in amperes by the time in hours of discharge. Example: A battery
which delivers 5 amperes for 20 hours, delivers 5 amperes times 20 hours, or 100 Amp-Hr. of
capacity.
ANSI - American National Standards Institute.
ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials.
Black Water - Term associated with the sewage holding tank. The toilet drains directly into this
tank.
CCA - Cold Cranking Amperage is the amount of current a battery can deliver for 30 seconds at 0° F
without dropping below a specified voltage, usually 10.5 Volts DC.
Chassis Battery - Powers chassis 12 Volt accessories and starts engine.
Circuit - An electric circuit is the path of an electric current. A closed circuit has a complete path. An
open circuit has a broken or disconnected path.
City Water - A term associated with the water supply that you hook-up to at campgrounds. It is
called city water because water is pulled from a central source (like in a city) and not the fresh
water tank.
Compressor Load Cycle - The time during which the compressor is building pressure in an
air system.

DYNASTY 2006 GENERAL INFORMATION — SECTION 1 • 15
Compressor Unload Cycle - The time during which the compressor is idling and not building
pressure in an air system.
Curbside - This refers to the side of the motorhome which faces the curb when it is parked. Often
called the door side or the passenger side.
Current - The rate of flow of electricity or the movement rate of electrons along a conductor. It is
comparable to the flow of a stream of water. The unit of measure for current is the ampere.
Cut-In Pressure - The pressure level in the air system supply tank which triggers the compressor
load cycle. May apply to some water systems, such as water pump, accumulator tank, etc.
Cut-Out Pressure - The pressure level in the air system supply tank which triggers the compressor
unload cycle. May apply to some water systems, such as water pump, accumulator tank, etc.
Cycle - In a battery, one discharge plus one recharge equals one cycle.
Desiccant - A granular substance that has a high affinity for water and is used to retain moisture from
the air stream flowing through the air dryer cartridge.
Direct Current (DC) - Power that is stored in a battery bank or supplied by photovoltaics, alternator,
chargers and DC generators. Direct current is also known as battery power.
Drain Trap - This is a curve that is in all drains. Water is trapped in the curve and this creates a
barrier so tank odors cannot escape through the drain.
Dry Camping - Camping in the motorhome when there is no city water hook-up or shore power.
In other words, using only the water and power that is in the motorhome and not from another
source.
Drying Cycle - The time during which the air dryer cools, filters and removes moisture from the air
delivered by the air compressor. The drying cycle begins and ends the same as the compressor
load cycle.
Dump Station - A site where the waste (grey) and sewage (black) tanks can be drained. In most
states it is illegal to drain waste tanks anywhere other than at a dump station.
Dump Valve - Another name for the T-handle valve used to drain the sewage (black) and waste
(grey) tanks.
Escape (Egress) Window - The formal name for the emergency window located in the rear of the
motorhome. Egress windows can be easily identified by their red handles.

Potentiometer - A device for measuring an unknown potential difference or electromotive force.
Pounds Per Square Inch Gauge (psig) - Pressure measured with respect to that of the atmosphere.
This is a pressure gauge reading in which the gauge is adjusted to read zero at the surrounding
atmospheric pressure. It is commonly called gauge pressure.
Purge - The initial blast of air (decompression) from the air dryer purge valve at the beginning of the
air compressor.
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.
Regeneration - The mild backflow 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 backflow 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
