ABOUT THIS MANUAL
!
This manual is a guide to the operation and
maintenance of your RV. Travel Lite RVs are
available in several sizes and models, so
accessories and components may differ.
Some equipment described in this manual
may not apply to your RV. If you find the
components vary significantly from what is
described, contact your dealer to ensure you
have the correct information. Nothing in this
manual creates any warranty, either
expressed or implied, nor does it cover every
possible detail of equipment, standard or
option, installed on or in your RV.
!
Information, illustrations and specifications in
this manual reflect the most current available
at the time of publication and are subject to
change and are not intended to indicate
actual size.
!
WARRANTY PACKET
!
The Warranty Packet contains original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) operator
manuals, warranty cards and/or registrations.
It is important you complete and mail the
warranty cards and registrations within the
prescribed time limits to avoid loss of warranty
coverage. This manual and the Warranty
Packet should be considered a permanent
part of the RV. If the RV is sold, they should
remain with the RV for the next owner.
SAFETY ALERTS
!
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. To help you make informed
decisions, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on safety
labels affixed to your RV and in this manual.
Please call your dealer or Travel Lite
Customer Service if you are unsure how to
proceed. Always use the appropriate safety
gear when servicing or maintaining your RV.
!
This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
In the United States
If you believe that your RV has an alleged
defect that could cause a crash or cause
injury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) and Travel Lite.

SECTION 1
WARRANTY & SERVICE

!
!
!
!
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 Travel Lite. For additional information,
please refer to the NHTSA website at
www.safercar.gov.
!
To contact NHTSA by phone:
Call the Department of Transportation (DOT)
Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888- 327-4236
and a NHTSA representative will record your
complaint information (TTY: 1-800-424-9153
or 1-202-484-5238).
!
To contact NHTSA by mail:
Office of Defects Investigations/CRD
NVS-216

!
In Canada
If you believe your RV has an alleged safety
defect, you should contact Transport Canada
and Travel Lite. Transport Canada prefers to
be
called instead of posted mail or email as it
enables their investigators to confirm that
your information is correct, and to answer
your questions accurately. For additional
information, please refer to the Transport
Canada website at www.tc.gc.ca.
!
To contact Transport Canada by phone:
Call 1-800-333-0510 (or 1-613-993-9851 if
you are calling from the Ottawa region) and
ask to speak to a defect investigator.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
!
Travel Lite recreation vehicles are
manufactured for use as temporary living
quarters for recreation, camping and travel
uses, all as defined by the bylaws of the
Recreation Vehicle Industry Association
(RVIA).
!
This recreation vehicle is not intended for use
as a full-time residence or for commercial use.
Commercial use means using the RV as a
business asset such as a mobile office or
using the RV for lease or rental purposes.
!
Travel Lite reserves the right to discontinue
or change specifications or design at any time
without notice and without incurring any
obligation whatsoever. RV’s built for sale in
Canada may differ to conform to Canadian
Codes.
!
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
!
It is important you read and understand the
information in this manual and your Warranty
Packet using your RV.
!
Familiarize yourself with the applicable
warranties. You are responsible for ensuring
the procedures for obtaining warranty repair
are followed properly. It is your responsibility
and obligation to return your RV to your
dealer for warranty service repair.
!
As the owner of the RV, 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
warranty.
!
As with your other personal belongings, it is
important to protect yourself and others with
insurance coverage. Your insurance agent
can assist you in obtaining the appropriate
insurance coverage for personal liability, theft,
collision, property damage, etc.
!
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
!
At the time of sale of the new RV, your dealer
is expected to:
!
□Deliver your RV in the best condition
possible. Your RV must pass the dealer’s
pre-delivery inspection (PDI), including all
systems tests.
!
□Provide orientation of the RV, its systems,
components and operation.
2

SECTION 1
WARRANTY & SERVICE
3
!
!
!
!
□Request that you read all warranty
information and explain any provision not
clearly understood.
!
□Ensure you receive the Warranty Packet.
Your dealer can assist you in completing
the OEM warranty cards or registrations,
and locate any required component model
or serial numbers.
!
□Complete and return the “Warranty
Registration and Customer Delivery Form”
to Travel Lite within 10 days of delivery to
activate the applicable warranty coverage.
!
The Towable Limited Warranty is activated
only after Travel Lite receives a signed and
dated “Warranty Registration and Customer
Delivery Form” from your dealer.
!
SUGGESTIONS
FOR OBTAINING SERVICE
!
The independent dealers authorized to sell
Travel Lite RVs are also there to provide
service after the sale. We work closely with
them in an effort to keep you satisfied. To help
ensure your dealer provides the level of
service you expect, here are some
suggestions we would like to make:
!
Contact your dealer at once… 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.
!
Prepare for the appointment… If you are
having warranty work performed, be sure to
have the right papers with you. Take your
warranty folder and have your vehicle
information available. Not all the work to be
performed may be covered by the warranty;
discuss additional charges with the dealer’s
service management.
!
Prepare a list… Provide your dealer with a
written list of specific repairs needed. It is
important that you provide any vehicle repair
history to the dealer’s service manager. Keep
a maintenance log of your RV service history.
This can often provide a clue to the current
issue.
Be reasonable with your requests… If you
leave a list with several items and you need
your RV returned back by a specific time,
discuss the situation with the dealer’s service
management and list your items in order of
priority. This may include making a second
appointment for work not completed or parts
that the dealer may need to order.
!
Don’t expect to look over the technician’s
shoulder… Please do not be offended if you
are told you cannot watch the work being
done. Some insurance requirements forbid
admission of customers to the service area.
!
Inspect the work performed… Finally, check
out the service or repair job when you pick up
your RV. Notify the dealer’s service
management immediately of any
dissatisfaction. If you cannot return your RV
immediately for repair, make an appointment
as soon as possible.
!
Please be aware that all repair businesses
require notification of any issues with their
repairs within a specified time limit. Make sure
you are familiar with your dealer or RV repair
center’s repair policies.
!
CUSTOMER RELATIONS
!
Travel Lite has empowered its dealers to
make warranty and repair decisions. If a
special circumstance occurs that requires
information from Travel Lite, we have asked
your dealer’s service management to make
the contact on your behalf. This is why you
should always talk to your dealer’s
service management first.
!
Most issues arise from misunderstandings
about warranty or service needs. We
recognize that, on some occasions, you will
not be totally satisfied with a dealer’s decision
or actions. If this is the case, you should write
or call Travel Lite Customer Service. Our
hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. –
4:00 p.m. EST (closed holidays).

OBTAINING
EMERGENCY WARRANTY REPAIR
!
A roadside emergency can happen at any
time, whether your RV is new or old. If you
are traveling, using the following guidelines
can help get you back on the road faster.
!
1. Call 1-855-831-3525 or use our website
dealer locator to find an authorized
Travel Lite dealer in your area.
Contact them for an appointment; they will
handle all warranty repair billing and
returned parts for you.
!
2. If you cannot locate an authorized Travel
Lite dealer near you, ask the
campground staff for referrals or check
the local telephone yellow pages. Or
contact Travel Lite Customer Service
or your selling dealer for assistance
in locating a repair facility.
!
a. Contact the RV repair facility to discuss
your situation and make an
appointment. Ask how their billing will
be handled. They may choose to bill
Travel Lite directly; otherwise, you are
expected to pay them.
!
b. Have the RV repair facility inspect your
RV. Either they or you must call Travel
Lite Customer Service to discuss
applicable warranty coverage prior to
any repair work being performed.
!
c. Travel Lite Customer Service will
issue an authorization number upon
warranty repair approval and advise
if any original parts need to be
returned.
!
d. Once Travel Lite Customer Service
has issued an authorization number, the
RV repair facility may begin actual
repair to your RV.
!
e. Inspect the completed repair work
thoroughly. If you are not satisfied,
communicate that immediately to the
RV repair facility management. Make
sure you are satisfied with the repair
before you pay or leave the premises.
!
f. For reimbursement, either you or the
RV repair facility must send a copy of
your itemized repair bill and all
requested return parts by UPS (regular
ground, freight pre-paid) within 60 days
of the completed repair date.
!
To expedite processing your warranty claim,
include your name, address, phone number,
RV 17-digit VIN and authorization number. If
returning parts, include a copy of your return
freight bill.
!
Obtaining weekend or
after business hours repair assistance
If an authorized Travel Lite dealer is not
located nearby, contact your selling
dealer for assistance. If your dealer is
closed, check with the campground staff or
telephone yellow pages for an RV repair
facility. Have the item repaired and contact
Travel Lite Customer Service immediately the
following business day.
!
Failure to contact Travel Lite Customer
Service, unauthorized or improper warranty
repairs, or failure to return requested original
parts may result in loss of reimbursements
and/or loss of warranty.
!
OBTAINING SERVICE FOR
SEPARATELY WARRANTED ITEMS
!
Your selling dealer is responsible for servicing
your RV 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 Towable Limited
Warranty.
!
OBTAINING SERVICE AT TRAVEL

your dealer recommend that the repairs be
made at the Travel Lite Factory Service

TRAVEL LITE TOWABLE LIMITED WARRANTY
!
WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED
!
This Travel Lite Recreational Vehicle (“RV”) is distributed by Travel Lite, Inc. As such, Travel Lite, Inc. (“Travel Lite” or
“Warrantor”) supplies the warranty. The Travel Lite warranty covers this RV, when used only for its intended purpose of
recreational travel and camping, for one (1) year. It covers RV’s sold in the United States, U.S. Territories and Canada,
only. The warranty period begins on the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser by an independent,
authorized dealer of Travel Lite, 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 Travel Lite, is
found to exist during the warranty period, it will be repaired or replaced, at Warrantor’s option, without charge to the RV
owner, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this limited warranty.

EVENTS DISCHARGING WARRANTOR FROM OBLIGATION UNDER WARRANTY
!
Certain things completely discharge Warrantor from any obligation under this warranty and void it. By way of
example, the following shall discharge Warrantor 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 RV
sold outside the United States, U.S. Territories or Canada, through an auction or wholesale or by a non-authorized dealer,
any defect in a separately manufactured component part, owner neglect or failure to provide routine maintenance (See
Owner’s Manual), unauthorized 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 tampering with any portion of the RV.
!
LEGAL REMEDIES
!
Any action to enforce any portion of this limited warranty, or any implied warranty, shall be commenced within six
(6) months after expiration of the warranty coverage period designated above. Any performance of repairs shall not
suspend this limitation period from expiring. Any performance of repairs after the warranty coverage period has expired, or
performance of repairs regarding anything 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 extend the warranty coverage period or
this limitation period. In addition, this warranty is not intended to extend to future performance, and nothing in this
warranty, or any action of Warrantor, any agent of Warrantor, or Travel Lite shall be interpreted as an extension of the
warranty period or this limitation period. Some states do not allow a reduction in the statute of limitations, 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 selling dealership will assist you in completing and submitting a delayed warranty start form for your chassis, which is
included in your chassis paperwork, and in filling out the Travel Lite product warranty registration form. That form must be
returned to Travel Lite within ten (10) days of your taking delivery of the RV. Your warranty will not be registered unless
this warranty registration is completed and received by Travel Lite. Failure to file this warranty registration with Travel Lite
will not affect your rights under this limited warranty as long as you can present proof of purchase, but it can cause
delays in obtaining the benefits of this limited warranty, and it may inhibit any servicing facility’s ability to provide proper
repairs and/or part replacement.
!
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
!
It is the owner’s responsibility to perform proper care and maintenance of the RV, and to assure correct load
distribution. For details regarding this, please see your RV owner’s manual and the owner’s manuals of the chassis
manufacturer and other component part manufacturers. These outline various care and maintenance that is required to
maintain your RV. Please review all manuals 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
warranty, and any damage to the RV as a result of your failure to perform such care, is not covered by this limited
warranty.

SECTION 2
OCCUPANT SAFETY
!
!
!
!
Camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors
with your family and friends. By following the
proper precautions and planning, you can
help insure a safe, enjoyable and trouble-free
trip. We encourage you to develop a family
safety plan in case of an emergency or
severe weather condition, and practice it with
your entire family, especially children.
!
□Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to
serve as the "family contact." Make sure
everyone knows the name, address,
phone number and email of the contact
person.
!
□Draw a floor plan of your RV and find two
ways to exit. There should be one way to
get out of your RV without opening the
door.
!
□Teach everyone what the RV safety alarm
signals mean and how to be prepared to
leave the RV by themselves if necessary.
!
□Teach how to check doors and not to
open the them if the doors are hot. Also
teach everyone to stay low to try to avoid
breathing smoke, fumes or gases.
!
□In case family members are separated
from one another, have a plan for getting
back together. Decide on a meeting place
a safe distance from your RV and make
sure everyone understands to wait there.
!
□Make sure everyone knows where to go to
call the fire department or 911 from
outside the RV.
!
□Conduct safety drills at least every six
months to make sure everyone, including
guests, knows what to do to escape
safely. Practice evacuating the RV
blindfolded; in a real fire situation, the
amount of smoke generated may make it
impossible to see.
!
□Consult your local fire department for
additional safety precautions.
!
Pets may not be allowed into shelters for
health and space reasons. Prepare an
emergency plan for pets that includes at least
a 3-day supply of dry food and a large
container of water. The survival of a beloved
pet or valuable livestock will often depend on
the plans that its owner has made in advance.
!
Familiarize yourself with the following
weather terms:
!
Warning - Indicates that a particular
weather hazard is either imminent or has
been reported. A warning indicates the
need to take action to protect life and
property. Move to a safe location
immediately. The type of hazard is
reflected in the type of warning (i.e.,
tornado warning, blizzard warning, etc.).
!
Watch - Indicates a particular hazard is
possible and that conditions are more
favorable than usual for its occurrence. A
watch is a recommendation for planning,
preparation and increased awareness (i.e.,
to be alert for changing weather, listen for
further information and think about what to
do if the danger materializes).
!
!
EMERGENCY WEATHER PLANNING
!
One of the more serious conditions you need
to take into account when camping is that of
the weather, which is subject to change with
little or no warning. Earthquakes, hail,
flooding, hurricanes, wintry weather,
tornadoes — these and other extreme
weather conditions can threaten your safety
and damage your tow vehicle or RV.
!
Local radio and TV stations normally
broadcast weather conditions and warnings
as they occur. Research other methods of
learning about severe weather conditions and
how to deal with them. You may want to
consider investing in a weather radio.
Weather radios offer 24 hour-a-day VHF
broadcasts of weather observations and
forecasts directly from the US National
Weather Service. The frequencies used by
the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) weather radio stations
are 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475,
162.500, 162.525 or 162.550 megahertz or
visit their website at www.noaa.gov.
!
Repairing severe weather damage
If your tow vehicle or RV becomes an unlucky
victim of severe weather damage, you will
most likely need repair work. Call your
insurance company as soon as you can to
report your claim.

SECTION 2
OCCUPANT SAFETY

!
!
!
!
!
!
During severe weather conditions move
indoors to a place of safety or shelter as
directed by the campground or appropriate
authorities. Avoid trees or power lines that
could fall on your vehicle. The safest place
during severe weather conditions is inside
a basement or storm shelter, not an RV or
tow vehicle.
!
Be aware of the heat index if camping during
hot weather. Keep yourself hydrated, and try
to stay indoors in an air-conditioned area
during a high heat index warning.
!
EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW
!
The emergency egress window is designed to
allow quick exit from the RV during an
emergency if access to the main entrance
door is not available. Practice opening the
egress window before an emergency occurs,
and make sure all occupants know how to
operate it.
!
When pulling into your campsite, make sure
your egress is not blocked by trees or other
obstacles. Verify the area below the window
is over solid ground that can be used as an
escape path. Egress window must be locked
during transit. Do not remove the following
label from your RV:
back and forth, shielding their face from the
fire with their hands, if their clothes catch fire.
!
Learn and teach safe fire practices. Build
campfires away from nearby trees or bushes.
Maintain at least a three-foot clear area free
of leaves, dry grass, pine needles, etc.,
around grills, campfires and/or tents.
Supervise children at all times when
campfires are burning or grills are in use.
Always have a way to extinguish the campfire
quickly and completely. Never leave a fire —
even a cigarette — burning unattended.
!
Teach family members how to use the fire
extinguisher and replace it as recommended.
Do not store combustible materials in closed
areas or near a heat source. Do not attempt
to use water to put out a grease fire. Water
can spread some types of fire and create an
electrocution hazard during an electrical fire.
!
Always call the Fire Department, no matter
how small the fire. However, be aware that if
a fire threatens your RV, you should not place
the call to your emergency services from
inside the RV. It is better to get out first and
place the call from somewhere else.
!
More information on fire fighting can be found
at the National Fire Protection Association
website (www.nfpa.org).
!
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
!
A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and
property by putting out a small fire or
containing it until the fire department arrives;
but portable extinguishers have limitations. It
is important to recognize when to leave the
RV. Because fire grows and spreads so
rapidly, the number one priority is to get out
safely. The Underwriter Laboratories (UL)
classify household fire extinguishers into four
types:

!
!
!
If you are in a RV with either a nearby tow
vehicle engine running or the generator (if
so equipped) running there is a potential
for exhaust fumes to filter back into the RV.
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
potentially toxic gas that is colorless and
odorless.
!
!
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison.
It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide
poisoning indicate while victims are aware
they are not well, they become so disoriented
they are unable to save themselves by either
exiting the RV or calling for assistance. Young
children and household pets may be the first
affected.
The following symptoms are related to
carbon monoxide poisoning and should be
discussed with all members of the
household:
!
Mild exposure - Slight headache, nausea,
vomiting, fatigue (often described as "flu-
like" symptoms).
!
Medium exposure - Throbbing headaches,
drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
!
Extreme exposure - Convulsions,
unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.
Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause
brain damage, death.
Actuation of this alarm may indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide that can
KILL YOU. This alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas.
!
The CO alarm will automatically sense when
the level of carbon monoxide in the air
reaches dangerous levels. You should stay
outside the RV in fresh air until the CO alarm
is silenced. When the CO alarm sounds, do
not stand too close to it. The sound produced
by the CO alarm is loud because it is
designed to wake a person in an emergency.
Prolonged exposure to the CO alarm at a

from asphyxiation (inability to breathe) if
carbon monoxide is present.
!
PROPANE ALARM
!
!
!
!
The alarm cannot detect propane or sound
a warning for two minutes after it has been
turned on. The propane leak alarm is not a
smoke or fire alarm. The alarm will only
indicate the presence of propane gas at
the sensor. Explosive gas may be present
in other areas.
!
For your safety protection, a new RV that
contains a propane gas system with propane
consuming appliances must have a propane
leak detection device. Because the chemical
composition of propane is heavier than air,
the propane alarm is located near the floor of
the RV (leaking propane tends to flow to and
pocket in low areas). A lit green LED indicates
when the factory-installed alarm is active.
Individuals with medical problems, or who are
hard of hearing, should consider using
warning devices that provide both audible and
visual signals.
!
This alarm is designed to sense the presence
of propane gas; however, there are other
combustible fumes or vapors that may be
detected by the sensor including (but not
limited to) acetone, alcohol, butane and
gasoline. These chemicals can be found in
commonly used items such as deodorants,
colognes, perfumes, adhesives, lacquer,
kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning
agents and the propellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and
adhesive vapors. If you close up your RV on a
hot day, the chemicals used in its construction
may be detected for months after the vehicle
was constructed (see Formaldehyde).

FUEL SAFETY
!
For your protection and others, it is critical to
understand the danger associated with fuel.
Take time to become educated about the
property of fuel and use it safely. If you spill
fuel on the RV, clean it up immediately. Fuel
can dull or soften paint and damage other
surfaces. Use care when fueling your RV.
