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.
SAFETY MESSAGES USED IN
THIS MANUAL
Throughout this manual, certain items are
labeled Danger, Warning, Caution, Notice, or
Note. These terms alert you to precautions that

1-2
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-

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

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.

well as adequate trailer brakes. Refer to the chassis operator's manual of your motor home for further towing information.
All information is based upon the most recent data available. Visit the Winnebago Industries, Inc. web page – www.winnebagoind.com – for the
most current product information.
1 The height of each model is measured to the top of the tallest standard feature and is based on the curb weight of a typically equipped unit.
The actual height of your vehicle may vary by several inches depending on chassis or equipment variations. Contact your dealer for further
information.

body width. You should confirm the road usage laws in the states of interest to you.
3 The load capacity of your motor home is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading
your motor home.
5 Capacities shown are the tank manufacturer's listed water capacity (W.C.). Actual filled propane capacity is 80% of listing due to overfilling
prevention device on tank.

appliance(s) avoids dangers of asphyxiation. It is
especially important that cooking appliances not
be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
WARNING
Do not fill propane container(s) to more
than 80 percent of capacity.
A properly filled container contains
approximately 80 percent of its volume as
liquid propane.
Overfilling propane container(s) can
result in uncontrolled propane flow, which
could lead to a fire or explosion and result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Do not place propane cylinders inside the
vehicle.
Propane cylinders are equipped with
safety devices that relieve excessive
pressure by discharging propane to the
atmosphere.
Propane gas is highly flammable.
Can lead to a fire or explosion and result
in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Do not use gas cooking appliances for
comfort heating. Can lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can lead to
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for
safe operation.
Before operating:
Open vents or windows slightly or turn on
exhaust fan prior to using cooking
appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen,
which should be replaced to ensure
proper combustion. Improper use can
result in death or serious injury.

asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is
used for long periods of time. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or
as necessary.
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the
procedures listed.
PROPANE GAS LEAK
DETECTOR
Your motorhome is equipped with a Propane
Gas Leak Detector, similar to the one shown in
the following photo. The leak detector sounds an
alarm if an unsafe amount of propane gas is
present inside the motorhome.
Power Connection
The Propane Gas Leak Detector is powered by
the house batteries. If the House/Coach Battery
Disconnect switch is shut off or the battery cable
is disconnected from the batteries, the alarm will
not work. The Propane Gas Leak Detector fuse or
circuit breaker is located in the 12-volt house
electrical load center.
Because the Propane Gas Leak Detector is
connected to the house battery, it is always
drawing a small amount of current. Even though
this current draw is slight, it could drain the house
battery during storage periods when the house
battery will not be charged regularly by the
engine or shoreline.
Replacement
When replacing this alarm, we recommend
replacing only with the same model, or with one
that is also listed for RV application. We
recommend obtaining a replacement from your
Winnebago Industries® dealer.
DANGER
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
1. Extinguish any open flames and all
smoking materials.
2. Shut off the propane supply at the
container valve(s) or propane supply
connection.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating
openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the propane system checked
and leakage source corrected before
using again.
Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to
a fire or explosion and result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT use an
open flame to test for gas leaks. When
testing for gas line leaks with a soapy
water solution, DO NOT use a detergent
containing ammonia or chlorine. These
substances may generate a chemical
reaction causing corrosion to gas lines,
resulting in dangerous leak conditions.
Death or serious injury can result.
