Customer Responsibility
It is important you read and understand all instructions and precautions before operating the
recreation vehicle. Even if you are an experienced RV’er we encourage you to thoroughly
read this Owner’s Manual, as well as the information contained in your Warranty Packet and
Chassis Guide (motorized only).
As technology advances, new improvements enter the RV industry every day, and each RV
manufacturer has its own unique manufacturing process.
Familiarize yourself with the Limited Warranty applicable to your recreation vehicle. There
are components that are excluded or warranted separately by their individual manufacturer’s
limited warranty (refer to the Warranty Packet or Chassis Guide if applicable).
As the new owner of the recreation vehicle, you are responsible for regular and proper
maintenance performed in accordance with this manual and the OEM manuals. Regular and
proper maintenance will help prevent conditions arising from neglect that are not covered by
the limited warranty. It is your responsibility and obligation to return your vehicle to your
dealer for repairs and service.
Suggestions For Obtaining Service
To help ensure your dealer provides the level of service you expect, here are some sugges-
tions we would like to make:
Do not 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, Fridays and before the holidays.
If you are having warranty work performed, be sure to
have the right papers with you. Take your warranty folder and have your vehicle informa-
tion available. All work to be performed may not be covered by the warranty. Discuss ad-
ditional charges with the service personnel.
Provide your dealer with a written list of specic repairs needed. It is
important that you provide any vehicle repair history to the dealer’s service personnel.
Keep a maintenance log of your vehicle’s service history. This can often provide a clue to
the current issue.
If you leave a list with several items and you need
your vehicle returned back by a specic time, discuss the situation with the dealer’s service
personnel and list your items in order of priority. This may include making a second ap-
pointment for work not completed or parts that the dealer may need to order.
Please don’t be oended if you are
told you cannot watch the work being done. Some insurance requirements forbid admission
of customers to the service area.
Finally, check out the service or repair job when you pick
up your vehicle. Notify the dealer’s service personnel immediately of any dissatisfaction.
If you cannot return the vehicle immediately for repair, make an appointment as soon as
possible.

Obtaining Service At Our Customer Service Facilty

repairs be made at our Customer Service facility, your recreation vehicle may be returned to

o the recreation vehicle at our Customer Service facility.
The holding tanks must be emptied and rinsed. We have a dumping station avail-
able for customer use.

personal items must be removed from the area where you are requesting service
repair and the refrigerator emptied. We are not responsible for loss of food items.
All transportation costs are the responsibility of the owner. You may need to
arrange for alternative accommodations for some types of repairs. Please be pre-
pared accordingly.
*Our Customer Service facility occasionally utilizes local independent repair facilities.
Your vehicle may be referred to or repaired by one of these local repair facilities.
Parts and Accessories

We do not sell direct to retail or non-authorized dealers. If the original part is no longer
available, we will make every eort to provide an appropriate substitute.
Obtaining Service For Separately Warranted Items
Your selling dealer is responsible for servicing your recreational vehicle before delivery,
and has an interest in your continued satisfaction. We recommend your dealer perform all
inspection, warranty and maintenance services. Some dealers may be authorized service
centers for those OEMs whose products are warranted separately and excluded from the
Please be aware that all service shops require notication of any issues with their repairs
within a specied time limit. Make sure you are familiar with their repair policies.

•The Motorhome when it is used only for its intended purpose of recreational travel and
camping;
•Only the rst retail purchaser;
•Only those portions of the Motorhome not excluded under the section “What is Not
Covered”;
•The Motorhome only when sold by an authorized dealership; and,
•Only defects in workmanship performed and/or materials used to assemble those por-
tions of the Motorhome not excluded under the section “What is Not Covered”.
•This Limited Warranty is not transferable.
When you request and accept the performance of warranty repairs under the terms of this
Limited Warranty, you are accepting all terms of this Limited Warranty, including by way
of example, warranty limitations and disclaimers, the forum selection clause and the clause
reducing the time period when suit must be led for breach.
THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO:
•
•
•
•
There is no warranty of any nature made by Jayco beyond that contained in this Limited
Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend or modify this Limited Warranty. The
dealer is NOT Jayco’s agent. Jayco is not responsible for any undertaking, representation or
warranty made by any dealer or others beyond those expressly set forth within this Limited
Warranty. Some states and provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied war-
ranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
16
Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, so the above exclusions
may not apply to you.
The duration of this limited warranty is 2 years after the rst retail
owner takes delivery of the Motorhome from an authorized dealer 24,000 miles of use,
whichever occurs rst. If the dealer places the Motorhome in service before retail sale, the
coverage period is 2 years after the dealer rst placed the Motorhome in service 24,000
miles of use, whichever occurs rst.
The term of this limited warranty is 3 years for substantial defects to any “Structure Com-
ponents”. Structure Components means materials and/or workmanship directly attributable
to Jayco relating to the lamination of the berglass sidewall assembly, the lamination of the
rear wall assembly, the lamination of the berglass front wall (wrap) assembly, sidewall/end
wall/front and rear wall frame assembly (wood and aluminum), roof frame assembly (wood
and aluminum), and oor frame assembly (wood and aluminum). Structure Components
specically excludes front and rear berglass caps and any other cosmetic berglass attach-
ments, sidewall metal (unless the root cause is the wall structure); exterior roof material
(EPDM rubber, TPO, etc.); oor covering (carpet, linoleum, hardwood tile, etc.); all side-
wall, end wall, front and rear wall, roof and oor attachments, and delamination caused by
water intrusion from lack of required exterior seal maintenance or other maintenance. Struc-
ture Components further excludes all items identied under “What is Not Covered” below.
Jayco reserves the right to have new or remanufactured parts of similar quality used 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 prod-
ucts without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously
manufactured. Jayco makes no warranty as to the future performance of the Motorhome, and
this limited warranty is not intended to extend to the future performance of the Motorhome,
or any of its materials, components or parts. In addition, the Motorhome owner’s obligation
to notify Jayco, or one of its independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not
modify any obligation placed on the Motorhome owner to contact Jayco directly when at-
tempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.
If the Motorhome is not of the current or prior model year when the rst retail owner takes
delivery, the limited warranty, including but not limited to the limited warranty for substan-
tial defects to Structure Components, ends 90 days after the rst retail owner takes deliv-
ery of the Motorhome after the odometer reaches 5,000 miles, whichever occurs rst.
Unless prohibited by state or provincial law, repairs do not extend the time when you must
17
commence an action for breach of warranty and shall not extend the warranty coverage
period. This reduction in time may not apply to you because some states and provinces do
not allow the reduction of the time to commence an action for breach of warranty. Any per-
formance of repairs after the warranty coverage ends and any performance of repairs to those
portions of your Motorhome excluded from coverage are “good will” repairs, whether or not
Jayco was aware of any such coverage lapse or warranty exclusion at the time of repairs.
Such “good will” repairs do not alter the express terms of this limited warranty or extend the
warranty coverage periods or the limitation period in this paragraph. Jayco is not required
to notify you if authorized repairs are considered “good will” by Jayco. You should expect
the need for warranty repairs. Jayco may use new and/or remanufactured parts and/or com-
ponents to complete a repair. It is likely that warranty repairs were performed at the factory
during assembly at the selling dealership after delivery of the Motorhome to your selling
dealer. If you discover a defect or damage to the Motorhome when you take delivery of your
Motorhome, you notify your dealer Jayco within 10 days of the date of purchase
to have defect or damage repaired at no cost to you. Minor adjustments will be performed,
free of charge, by the dealer within 90 days of your purchase; thereafter, such adjustments
are your exclusive responsibility as normal maintenance.
Jayco’s obligation is to repair any covered defect discovered within
the warranty coverage period provided: (1) you notify Jayco or an authorized dealer within
10 days of your discovery of a defect; (2) you deliver the Motorhome to Jayco an
authorized dealership at your cost and expense.
f the primary repair remedy fails to successfully cure any defect
after a reasonable number of repair attempts, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be to
have Jayco pay an independent service shop of your choice to perform repairs to the defect
OR have Jayco pay diminished value damages if the defect is incurable. You must exhaust
both the repair remedy and the back-up remedy AND these remedies must fail to fulll their
essential purpose before you can seek any other remedies.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT PROMISES OR EXTENDS
TO FUTURE PERFORMANCE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MAKE A REPRESENTA-
TION ON HOW YOUR MOTORHOME WILL PERFORM IN THE FUTURE BUT REP-
RESENTS ONLY WHAT THE REMEDY WILL BE IF A DEFECT EXISTS.
To obtain warranty service the owner must:
•Notify Jayco or an authorized Jayco dealer, within the applicable warranty coverage
period designated above, that you are making a warranty claim;
