ABOUT THIS MANUAL
The objective of this manual is to provide a guide for normal operations, safety, care, and maintenance of your
recreation vehicle (RV). In this owner’s manual, the information is authentic at the time of publication but is liable to
change without notice. Photographs, drawings, components, and systems illustrated may not exemplify exactly what
is in your RV due to continual upgrades and improvements.
The information in this manual is not meant in any way to complement, adjust, or transform the terms and
conditions of your Limited Base and Structural Warranties, or any manufacturer warranties.
Applications defined in this guide are common for normal operating conditions. As the owner, you are subject to the
safety operations and use of your RV, and we have tried our best to inform you. There are particuar tips to assist you
as you enjoy the RV lifestyle; however, this guide is not designed to persuade you how, or where, to camp.
If you have any questions, concerns, or request service regarding any facet of your RV, please contact your dealer or
Vanleigh RV.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ADDITIONAL TERMINOLOGY USED
There is nothing more essential than the individual safety of you, your family and others. Safety includes
several areas of the RV experience. This includes driving and towing safety, operational safety, occupant
safety, environmental safety, and many more. Any time you are handling parts that contain propane gas,
electricity and other carbon monoxide producing appliances, it is highly important that safety becomes
your number one focus in and around your RV.
[Customer Supplied] This includes items not incorporated or installed by Vanleigh RV. Items recognized
as “customer supplied” are not enclosed by the Limited Base and Structural Warranties. The incorpora-
tion of items listed as “customer supplied” does not entail or advise the avaiability, application sustain-
ability, or inclusion for any specific unit.
[If so equipped] This includes items that may be installed by Vanleigh RV on certain RVs. Although,
some items listed as “if so equipped” can only be incorporated during the manufacturing stage and
cannot be added at another time. The involvement of items listed as “if so equipped” does not imply or
suggest the avaiability, application sustainability, or inclusion for any specific unit.
[Optional] This includes items that may be an option on all or specific models. Therefore, some op-
tional items can only be incorporated during the manufacturing stage and cannot be added at another
time. The incorporation of optional items does not involve or suggest the avaiability, application sus-
tainability or inclusion for any individual unit.

IN THE UNITED STATES
If you believe your vehicle has a deficiency, that might cause an accident, injury or death, we encourage
you to immediately contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Vanleigh RV.
If NHTSA receives simiar concerns, they may open an investigation. If they determine that a safety defi-
ciency lies in other vehicles, a recall and remedy campaign may be called. The NHTSA does not become
associated with individualized cases between you, your dealer, or Vanleigh RV.

DEALER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
When you buy your new RV, at the time of purchase, your dealer is expected to:
1. Deliver your RV in the best condition possible.
Your RV must pass the dealer’s Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). This inspection tests all systems
and components.
2. Provide an orientation, familiarizing you with your new RV and how to operate all systems and com-
ponents.
3. Review with you, and expain the provisions of the Limited Base Warranty and Limited Structural
Warranty.
4. Send your completed Warranty Registration and New Vehicle PDI Check List to Vanleigh RV.
This form is required within 5 days of your delivery date to activate your warranty coverage.
5. Ensure that you receive a complete Owner Information Package. Assist you with all component
manufacturer warranty registrations (ie, locating the model and serial numbers of components
as needed).
6. Expain how to obtain local and out-of-town service for your RV, and its (separately warranted)
components, including repairs NOT under warranty.
7. Service all Vanleigh RV products.
SERVICE & WARRANTY
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
As the owner, you are liable for the periodical care and proper maintenance of your RV. Proper mainte-
nance will help avoid situations where the Limited Base Warranty and Limited Structural Warranty will
not cover items due to improper care. You are required to perform maintenance services in accordance
with this manual and the corresponding manufacturer instructions for the parts included in your RV.
As the owner of your RV, it is your responsibility and liability to return the RV to an authorized dealer
for any warranty repairs and service that may be needed. Your dealer is subject to proper service prior
to delivery and has a continued interest in your fulfillment. Therefore, we suggest warranty and mainte-
nance services be performed by your local Vanleigh RV dealer.
With your other personal belongings, it is crucial to secure yourself and others with insurance coverage.
Your insurance agent can aid you in receiving the appropriate insurance coverage for personal liability
collision, property damage, theft, liability, etc.
SERVICE & WARRANTY

PINECREST OWNER’S MANUAL
To help your dealer provide you the best level of service, please do the following:
Call Ahead
It is best to have your service performed several weeks before you pan to use your RV. Your dealer may need some
time to get you in their schedule. Most service departments are busiest on Mondays, Fridays and before holidays.
Be Prepared
Keep your warranty and service history paperwork avaiable. Past repairs and maintenance records may help the
service technician diagnose a current issue.
Make a List
Provide the dealer a prioritized list of all repairs needed. If you need your RV returned by a specific date, discuss this
with the dealer’s service management. A second appointment may be required to complete lower priority list items
or if parts need to be ordered.
While Waiting
If possible, drop off your RV. Usually, customers cannot watch as repair work is performed. Insurance companies may
even require that customers not be allowed in the service area.
Inspect the Work Performed
Inspect all repairs thoroughly. Notify the dealer’s service manager of any dissatisfaction right away.
• If you cannot immediately return your RV for repair, make an appointment to return as soon as possible.
• If a problem re-occurs after leaving the dealership, contact the dealer’s service manager and Vanleigh RV Cus-
tomer Support to quickly resolve the issue.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
Warranty service must be obtained:
• WITHIN a reasonable time after the discovery of a defect, and
• BEFORE the applicable warranty period expires.

A roadside emergency can happen at any time, whether your RV is new or old. If you are traveling, using the follow-
ing guidelines can help get you back on the road faster.

• Check the local telephone yellow pages;
• Contact your dealer; or
• Vanleigh RV Customer Support.
WHEN YOU FIND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR REPAIR FACILITY:
a. Call the RV repair facility to discuss your situation and make an appointment. Ask how their billing will be
handled. They may choose to bill Vanleigh RV directly; otherwise, you are expected to pay them.
b. Have the RV repair facility inspect your RV. Either they or you must call Vanleigh RV Customer Support to
discuss applicable warranty coverage prior to any repair work being performed.
c. Vanleigh RV Customer Support will issue an authorization number upon warranty repair approval and advise
if any original parts must be returned.
d. Only after the authorization number has been issued, may the repair center begin work on your RV.
e. 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 (reguar ground, freight pre-paid) to Vanleigh RV within 60-days of the com-
pleted repair date. To expedite processing your warranty caim, include your name, address, phone number,
RV 17-digit VIN and authorization number. If returning parts, include a copy of your freight bill.
3. Inspect the completed repair work thoroughly. If you are not satisfied, communicate that to the RV repair facility
management. Make sure you are satisfied with the repair before you pay or leave the premises.
Obtaining Emergency Repair Assistance on a Weekend or After Business Hours
If an authorized Vanleigh RV dealer is not located near-by, contact your selling dealer for assistance. If your dealer is
