LIMITED WARRANTY

THOR MOTOR COACH LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE IS:
This Limited Warranty provided by Thor Motor Coach Inc.® (“Warrantor”) covers those components, assemblies and systems of your new
motor home not excluded under the section “What is Not Covered”, when sold by an authorized dealer. The duration of the limited warranty
ends twelve (12) months after you rst take delivery of the motor home from an authorized dealership or after the odometer reaches 15,000
miles, whichever occurs rst. However, this Limited Warranty provided by Warrantor covers the steel or aluminum frame structure, only, of
the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front walls for twenty-four (24) months from the original retail purchase date or the rst
24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs rst.
If the motor home is not of the current or prior model year when you take deliver of the motor home OR you register your new motor home in a
business name or use your motor home for any rental, commercial or business purposes whatsoever, the duration of the limited warranty ends
ninety (90) days after you rst take delivery of the motor home or after the odometer reaches 5,000 miles, whichever occurs rst. The duration
of the Limited Warranty covering the steel or aluminum frame structure, only, of the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front
walls ends twelve (12) months after you rst take delivery of the motor home or after the odometer reaches 15,000 miles, whichever occurs
rst. A conclusive presumption that your motor home has been used for commercial and/or business purposes arises if you have led a federal
or state tax form claiming any business tax benet related to your ownership of the motor home.
LIMITATIONS 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
PORTIONSOFTHE MOTORHOMECOVEREDBYTHIS LIMITED WARRANTY.WARRANTORDISCLAIMSALLIMPLIEDAND
EXPRESS WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITYAND 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 only defects in the workmanship performed and/or materials used to assemble those
portions of your motor home covered by the limited warranty. See also the section “What the Warranty Does Not Cover” set out
below. “Defect” means the failure of the workmanship performed and/or materials used to conform to Warrantor’s design and
manufacturing specication and tolerances.
WHAT WE WILL DOTOCORRECT 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, which is discovered within the warranty coverage period, within ten (10) days of discovering the
defect; and (2) you deliver your Motor home 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 repairs 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 motor home 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 motor home, you must notify your
dealer or Warrantor within ten 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 two unsuccessful repair attempts have been made to correct any covered defect that you believe substantially impairs the value,
use or safety of your motor home, or repairs to any covered defect(s), which you believe substantially impairs the value, use or safety of your
motor home, have taken 20 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 nal repair attempt for the purpose of
performing a successful repair to the identied defect(s).
Minor adjustments, such as adjustments to the interior or exterior doors, drawers, latches by way of example and not by limitation will be
performed by your selling dealer during the first ninety (90) days of warranty coverage. Thereafter, such adjustments are the owner’s exclusive
responsibility as normal maintenance.

defacing, scratching, dents and chips on any surface or fabric of the motor home, not caused by Warrantor; owner maintenance, including by
way of example replacement of wiper blades, bulbs, lters, wheel alignments and resealing exterior sealant areas (see Care and Maintenance

handling, braking, wheel balance, mufer, tire wear or failure, 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,

issued by Warrantor. To learn more on what specic 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 Motor home.
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, re, 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.

We have listed several items which will help acquaint you with your new recreation vehicle. You the purchaser, should not submit this form
until (1) you have received and reviewed the Limited Warranty and owner’s manual; (2) you have had the opportunity to inspect and operate
the vehicle; (3) all items have been demonstrated and/or explained to you; (4) the dealer has answered any questions you may have, and; (5)
you find the vehicle in good condition. The dealer is not authorized to deliver this vehicle until this has been done and both you and the dealer
have signed this form.
Owner/Dealer Inspection
I have completed the above inspection on this recreation vehicle and have taken the test drive at the time of purchase. I noted the following issues:
I received and read the final stage manufacturer's 1 page Limited Warranty, published within the Owner's Manual, and the Chassis Limited
Warranty, both of which were made available to me, before I purchased the vehicle and agreed to the terms and conditions therein. I understand
that the vehicle is to be used only for travel on improved roads. I also understand that the selling dealer is not an agent for the final stage
manufacturer but is an independent company with no authority to make any representation or promise for the final stage manufacturer.
I acknowledge that the chassis, component parts and appliances that are separately covered by another manufacturer’s warranty are excluded
from coverage under the Manufacturers Limited Warranty. I understand that this form is for product registration purposes and failure to return
this form does not diminish my warranty rights during the warranty period.

MOTOR HOME OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY
VIN# 1FDXE4##########
THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED:
970 kg or 2140 lbs
Safety belt equipped seating capacity: 7
CAUTION:
A full load of water equals 173 kg or 382 lbs of cargo @ 1kb/L (8.3 lb/gal) and the
tongue weight of a towed trailer counts as cargo
MOTOR HOME LOAD LIMITS
Occupant And Cargo Carrying Capacity
Your motor home is designed to carry the loads defined by the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR - the value
specified by the chassis manufacturer as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured
at the tire/ground interface.) The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR - the maximum permissible loaded
weight of the motor home) is shown on the vehicle information sticker posted near the driver's side front
window or inside the driver's side door jam. These ratings are for a fully loaded vehicle including passengers
and normal belongings
EXCEEDING THE GAWR OR GVWR OF YOUR MOTOR HOME CAN CAUSE
UNDESIRABLE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS and may even create a safety
hazard. Modification of your vehicle to carry additional equipment or vehicles is not
recommended and may void your warranty.
Note: Be sure the weight of passengers, equipment and supplies does not cause your
motor home to exceed axle loads and overall vehicle loads for which it was
designed. If in doubt, weigh the vehicle at a public scale. Keep in mind the number
of safety belts in a unit are there for the convenience and use of the owner.
Carrying the number of people equal to the number of seat belts may exceed the
weight ratings. A motor home has the potential to be overloaded and removal
or redistribution of weight may be necessary from time to time to stay within
weight ratings. Your motor home includes a "Weight Information Label." This
label provides specific weight information for your motor home as a guideline
so that you can determine the load carrying capabilities.
The Thor Motor Coach Motor Home WEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS yellow label concisely states the occupant
and cargo carrying capacity of your motor home ( per the requirements of 49 CFR part 571.120 as issued by
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - NHTSA).
The yellow MOTOR HOME OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY weight label is affixed to the
interior side of the forward-most door of your motor home on the passenger side This label indicated how much
weight you can safely carry within the vehicle.
For a Class C: The label is affixed directly to the door front door jamb.
For a Class A: The label is affixed to the entrance door, directly below the window screen
The total weight of passengers, cargo, trailer tongue weight, and water should never exceed the value shown
on the label.
A typical example of this label is shown below for reference purposes only. The numbers shown on this page
may not be applicable to your vehicle. Please reference the Yellow label affixed directly to the door of your
motor home for your actual Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity:

DO NOT OVERLOAD THE MOTOR HOME
When loading your cargo, be sure it is distributed evenly to prevent overloading front to back and side to
side. Heavy items should be placed low and as close to the axle positions as reasonable. Too many items on
one side may overload a tire.
VEHICLE WEIGHING PROCEDURES
Periodically weigh the motor home at a public scale to determine axle loads. The following procedure is
suggested, although any method recommended by the scale operator which correctly determines weight value
is acceptable. During all measurements, it is important to keep the vehicle as level as possible.
Where To Weigh Your Motor Home
To weigh your motor home correctly, measure the fully loaded vehicle axle by axle and wheel position by wheel
position. You can find several certified public or commercial scales at moving and storage lots, farm suppliers
with grain elevators, gravel pits, recycling companies and large commercial truck stops. You can also look in
the telephone book under "weighers" or "weighing". Allow adequate time, since the entire weighing process
can take up to 30 minutes. There may be a small fee for each weight taken, but the expense is a worth while
investment toward the safe and economical operation of your motor home.
How To Weigh Your Motor Home
Your motor home must be weighed fully loaded. That is with passengers, food, clothing, fuel, water, propane,
supplies etc. Any towed vehicle (car/pickup, boat, or trailer ) or item loaded on brackets on the back of the
motor home should also be included in the weighing.
1. The following steps are suggested when using a long platform scale:
a. Pull onto the scale so that only the front axle is on the platform ( with the end of the
scale midway between the front and rear axles) and record the scaled weight.
b. Pull forward until the full unit is on the scale and record the weight.
c. Pull forward so that only the rear axle is on the scale and record the weight.
d. If a boat, trailer or other vehicle is being towed, it should be weighed and combined with
the towing vehicle's weight to ensure the total weight does not exceed the GCWR.
Note: Even though the weight of the total axle may be within the axle's rating, it may
be overloaded on one side. This causes one wheel position to be overloaded.
Therefore, side-to-side weighing should be done.
To obtain the individual wheel position weights, repeat this process with only one side of the motor home on the
scale. To determine individual wheel position weights, it is necessary to repeat the previous three steps (1a,
1b, and 1c), but this time, use only one side of the scale. To calculate the opposite side of the vehicle wheel
position weight, subtract this side's weights from the weights recorded in steps 1a, 1b, and 1c.
NOTICE

THOR MOTOR COACH
GENERAL INFORMATION
15
Your motor home must remain as level as possible on the scale, even though an axle or side is not
physically on the scale. To obtain the side-to-side weights, there must be enough space on either side of the
scale to allow the motor home to be partially off the scale.
Individual wheel position weights must not exceed the maximum tire load capacity.
Maximum tire load capacity can only be achieved by utilizing the maximum allowable
pressure (psi) as listed on the sidewall of the tire.
Note: The above information is provided by the Tire Industry Safety Council Rubber Manufacturer's
Association. Used with permission. ( http://www.rma.org/tire_safety/ )
2. For improved accuracy, Thor Motor Coach recommends using a segmented 4-pad scale,
when possible, to determine individual wheel weights. The corner weights should not
exceed half of the respective Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) or the maximum load
rating for the tire or set of dual tires at the rear, whichever is less. The maximum load
rating for the tire can be found embossed on the tire's sidewall. If any of the corner
weights exceed half of the listed GAWR or tire ratings, relocate the passengers and
redistribute or remove a portion of the cargo until the weight is within the proper limits for
all four corners of the vehicle.
Note: Additional cargo carrying capacity can be obtained by reducing the amount of fresh
water carried while driving.
Check vehicle weight periodically to obtain optimum mileage from tires and improve handling. Tires should
always be inflated as recommended in the chassis manufacturer's instructions or on the tire sidewall. See your
chassis operator's manual.
Improper weight distribution or too much weight on your motor homes suspension system can cause spring,
shock absorber, or brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other
damage.
An overloaded motor home is hard to drive and hard to stop. In cases of serious overloading, brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep hills. The load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Weight Terms
The following is an explanation of commonly used weight abbreviations.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum permissible weight of this motor
home.
• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) is the weight of this motor home as manufactured at the
factory with full fuel, engine oil, and coolants.
• Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity (OCCC) is equal to the GVWR minus UVW and LP.
In other words, OCCC is how much weight in occupants, cargo , water and trailer tongue
weight that can be added to the motor home without exceeding the GVWR.
• Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) means the maximum allowable loaded weight of
this recreation vehicle with its towed trailer or towed vehicle.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the value specified as the load carrying capacity of a
single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.

IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your motor home has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
Thor Motor Coach.
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
individual problems between you, your dealer, or Thor Motor Coach.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hot line toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-
424-9153); go to http://www.safecar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
S.E., Washington, DC 20590.
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safecar.gov.
LAWS OF THE ROAD
It is advisable to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in each respective state, for up-to-date information
regarding operation and licensing requirements for your particular motor home.
The state of California currently requires operators of motor homes over 40 feet in length to obtain a non-
commercial class B license. California has also enacted legislation limiting use of motor homes in excess
of 40 feet, to approved roadways. You may contact Caltrans at www.dot.ca.gov or 916-654-5741 for current
information regarding these California statues.

MOTOR HOME SERIAL NUMBER DECAL AND DATA
PLATES
The motor home serial number label is mounted on the inside wall next to the driver’s seat on a ClassA motor
home and on the inside of the driver’s door post on a Mini motor home. Refer to the chassis owner’s manual
for the location of the chassis vehicle identification number on all motorized motor homes.
Note: Always give model, year, and the V.I.N. number information when ordering parts.
Also, we recommend that you keep a copy of this information separate from the
motor home in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply a copy to the
authorities.
Decals and data plates used throughout the motor home aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give
service instructions. Read all decals, data, and instruction plates before operating your motor home.
Note: When any decal, data, or instruction plate is damaged, painted over, removed, etc.;
the item should be replaced immediately.
SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR PROPANE GAS SYSTEMS
AND APPLIANCES
The following warnings are posted throughout the motor home to provide information on Propane safety. They
have been installed not only because of the requirement to do so, but also as a constant reminder to occupants
of the motor home to exercise proper caution when using or being around Propane appliances and equipment.
We are listing them here so you may study them and make sure that you and your family understand and
follow them.
IT IS NOT SAFE TOUSE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING.
COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION.
TO ENSURE PROPERVENTILATION BEFORE OPERATING APROPANE
APPLIANCES YOU SHOULD OPEN OVERHEAD VENTS, TURN ON THE
EXHAUST FAN, AND OPEN A WINDOW.
Warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the motor home, and
proper ventilation when using the cooking appliances will avoid dangers of asphyxiation.
Over-filling the Propane gas tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A
properly filled tank will contain approximately 80% of its volume as liquid Propane. An 80% automatic shut-off
valve is installed on the Propane gas tank which will automatically prevent further filling when the gas volume
has reached 80% of tank capacity.

THOR MOTOR COACH
IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY
18
This tank is equipped with an automatic valve designed to close at 80% liquid
full. Always open 20% fixed liquid level bleeder gauge while filling. Stop filling if
liquid appears before valve shuts off.
ALL PROPANE GAS IS CONTAINED UNDERPRESSURE. DUE TOTHE
DANGEROUS POTENTIAL OF ANY COMPRESSED GAS, IT IS MANDATORY
THAT THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF THIS TANK BE
FOLLOWED: Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in accordance with
the state and local codes, rules, regulations or laws and in accordance with the
NFPA Pamphlet 58, division IV.
Only personnel trained in the handling of Propane may fill, test or repair the Propane gas system.
IF YOU SMELL GAS, EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS, AND
ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DONOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES. Shut off
the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection. Open doors and
other ventilation openings. (do not use the range hood) Leave the area until
the odor clears and have the system checked by a trained professional before
using again.
Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that
are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent
faces downward and the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas
pressure causing fire or explosion.
Portable fuel burning equipment including wood or charcoal burning grills and
stoves should not be used inside the motor home because they may cause fire
or asphyxiation.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire safety is an important part of owning a motor home. Make sure that everyone traveling in the motor
home is familiar with the location of exits, including emergency exit windows should an emergency arise. The
following basic rules of fire prevention can help eliminate the possibility of a fire:
• Never store flammable liquids within the motor home.
• Keep cooking surfaces clean.
• Never clean with a flammable liquid.
• Never leave cooking food unattended.
• Never smoke in bed, and always use an ashtray.
• Never allow children to play with Propane gas or electrical equipment.
• Never use an open flame as a flashlight.
• Always repair faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components.
• Never overload electrical circuits.
• Locate and repair Propane gas leaks immediately.
• Don’t allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant.
If a fire does start, make sure to follow these basic rules of safety:
1. Have everyone evacuate the motor home as quickly as possible.
2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is too large,
or the fire is fuel fed, get clear of the motor home and have the fire department handle the
emergency.
3. DO NOT attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and
electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
DO NOT STORE PROPANE CONTAINERS INSIDE THE MOTOR HOME. Propane
containers are equipped with safety devices which relieve excessive pressure
by discharging gas to the atmosphere. Failure to comply could result in
explosion resulting in death or serious injury.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Underwriter Laboratories classify fires into three types:
Class A: Fires in wood, paper, fabric, rubber, and certain plastics
Class B: Flammable liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, or kerosene
Class C: Electrical fires started from live electrical wires, from short circuits motors or switches
The fire extinguisher, which is located by the entry door of the motor home, is a chemical type suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the class B or C type. Extinguishers are designed to put out fires in the initial
stage, not when it is blazing out of control. If a fire cannot be approached within 10’, the extinguisher will not
be effective.
To fight a fire with an extinguisher, first remove the tamper tape which covers the discharge push button. Hold
it upright and stand six to ten feet from the fire with a clear path to an exit. Press the button down all the way,
aimed at the base of the fire and spray with quick motions from side to side.
Avoid inhaling the dry chemicals. Although non-toxic, they could cause temporary irritation and vomiting.
When the fire is out, clean up the area as soon as possible. The dry chemicals are non-corrosive, but some
residue may cause surface damage if left too long.
In the case of an electrical fire, disconnect the battery and throw off the main circuit in the unit. It is important
that everyone knows where to find the main circuit and how it operates. If the shoreline power cord is
connected, disconnect it.
To keep the fire extinguisher in proper operating conditions:
1. Check Pressure monthly or more often. Check the nozzle for obstruction. Press the green pin
below the nozzle. If it returns and sticks out from the extinguisher, it is operable. If the pin
does not come back, discard extinguisher. Refillable models have a pressure gauge to
check.
2. Check the Tamper Tape to make sure it is intact. DO NOT test the extinguisher. Even a partial
discharge may cause leakage.
3. When checking the extinguisher for pressure, enter the date checked on the Inspection Tag
furnished with the motor home. Regular inspections will help insure the condition.
4. Agitate Dry Chemical every six (6) months by inverting the bottle and lightly shaking for
several seconds. This will help prevent the dry chemical from settling due to in motion
vibrations.
CARBON MONOXIDE AND SMOKE DETECTORS
BOTH THE SMOKE ALARM AND THE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM CANNOT
OPERATE WITHOUT A 9 VOLT BATTERY. Removing the battery for any reason,
or failing to replace the battery at the end of it's service life, removes your
protection. Refer to the manufacturers owner’s manual for proper replacement
batteries.
The smoke alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor.
The smoke alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat
or flames. The CO alarm is not designed to detect fire
or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of
CO gas at the sensor. CO may be present in other
areas.
For instruction on programming the alarm refer to the Smoke Alarm User’s
Manual within your Owner’s Packet for detailed setup information.
