SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! We welcome you to the
exciting world of motorhome travel and
camping. You will find it convenient and
enjoyable to have all the comforts of home and
still enjoy the great outdoors wherever you
choose to go.
Before sliding into the driver’s seat, please
become familiar with operations and features. In
addition, spend some time with the dealer when
you take delivery to learn all you can about your
new motorhome.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This operator’s manual was prepared to aid
you in the proper care and operation of the
vehicle and equipment.
Please read this manual completely to
understand how everything in your motorhome
works before taking it on its “maiden voyage”. In
addition, please become familiar with the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE: This manual describes many features of
your motorhome and includes
instructions for its safe use.
This manual, including photographs and
illustrations, is of a general nature only.
Some equipment and features described
or shown in this manual may be
optional or unavailable on your model.
Because of Winnebago Industries®’
continuous program of product
improvement, it is possible that recent
product changes and information may
not be included.
The instructions included in this manual
are intended as a guide, and in no way
extend the responsibilities of Winnebago
Industries beyond the standard written
warranty as presented in this manual.
The descriptions, illustrations, and
specifications in this manual were
correct at the time of printing. We reserve
the right to change specifications or
design without notice, and without
incurring obligation to install the same
on products previously manufactured.
The materials in your InfoCase contain
warranty information and operating and
maintenance instructions for the various
appliances and components in your motorhome.
NOTE: Many of the instruction sheets and
manuals for the various appliances and
components have been incorporated into
the Operator’s Manual Supplement for
your convenience.
Please read the FAQ in Section 1 of the
Operator’s Manual Supplement for more
details.
Throughout this manual, frequent references
are made to the vehicle chassis manual that is
provided by the manufacturer of the chassis on
which this motorhome is built.
Consult the chassis manual for operating,
safety, and maintenance instructions pertaining
to the chassis section of the motorhome.

NOTE: A “Note” is not necessarily safety-
related, but indicates a recommendation
or special point of information that could
assist in understanding the use or care of
a feature item.
PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
This motorhome has been thoroughly
inspected before shipment. Your dealer is
responsible for performing a complete pre-
delivery inspection of the chassis and all
motorhome components.
As a part of the pre-delivery inspection
procedure, the dealer is responsible for road
testing the motorhome, noting, and correcting
any problems before delivery.
BEFORE DRIVING
Familiarize yourself with State/Province and
local regulations before traveling. There are
many local rules that may impact your travels.
FRONT AXLE TIRE
ALIGNMENT
We recommend that you have the front
suspension and steering alignment checked and
adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle
according to your needs. Thereafter, have
alignment inspected periodically to maintain
vehicle steering performance and prevent uneven
tire wear.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
Headlights on this motorhome were aligned at
the factory in an unloaded state. We recommend
you have the high and low beam alignment
checked after fully loading the vehicle to your
needs. Thereafter, have the alignment inspected
periodically to maintain visibility.
SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE
Your dealer will be glad to provide any
additional information you need, as well as
answer any questions you might have about
operating the equipment in your motorhome.
When it comes to service, remember that your
dealer knows your vehicle best and is interested
in your satisfaction. Your dealer will provide
quality maintenance and any other assistance that
you may require during your ownership of this
vehicle.
If you need warranty repairs while traveling,
you may take your vehicle to any authorized
Winnebago Industries®dealership and request
their assistance.
See the Service Dealer Directory in your
InfoCase.
