Introduction

Congratulations! On your Jayco recreation vehicle purchase. We are excited to welcome

you to our growing RV family. We are committed to being the most respected name in

RVs. Jayco recreation vehicles are manufactured for use as temporary living quarters for

recreation, camping and travel uses, all as dened 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 recreation vehicle as a business asset such as a mobile

oce or using the recreation vehicle for lease or rental purposes.

Jayco reserves the right to discontinue or change specications or design at any time without

notice and without incurring any obligation whatsoever. Recreation vehicles built for sale in

Canada may dier to conform to Canadian Codes.

We invite you to drop by our Visitors Center located in Middlebury, Indiana. To book a

factory tour or check on available tour times, log on to https://www.jayco.com and click on

the  heading. Select “” from the drop down for factory tour information.

Jayco recreation vehicles are available in several sizes and models, so accessories and com-

ponents may dier slightly between models. Some equipment described in this manual may

not apply to your recreation vehicle.

Jayco reserves the right to discontinue or change specications or design at any time without

notice, and to make additions or improvements without incurring any obligations upon itself

to install these changes on its products previously manufactured. Recreation vehicles built

for sale in Canada may dier to conform to Canadian Codes.

Dealers who are authorized to sell Jayco motor homes are also there to provide customer

service after the sale. We work closely with them in an eort to keep you satised.

At the time of sale of the new motor home, your dealer is expected to explain or provide the

following:

Provide orientation of the motor home, its systems, components and their operation (includ-

ing a test drive). Request that you read all motorized warranty information and explain any

provision not clearly understood.

 Complete and return the Warranty Registration and Customer Delivery form and

the chassis manufacturer’s Chassis Manufacturer’s Delayed Warranty Start form

to activate the applicable warranty coverage (mileage and date of purchase must

be included on both forms). Retain copies of these forms in the motor home for

any required warranty coverage as needed at home or while traveling.

 Ensure that you receive a complete Owner’s Portfolio and review the individual

manufacturer’s limited warranty provisions with you. The dealer can assist in

completing these forms and in locating any required component model or serial

numbers.

The  is activated only after Jayco receives a signed and dated “Warranty

Registration and Customer Delivery Form” from your dealer.



Jayco has empowered its dealers to make warranty and repair decisions.

If a special circumstance occurs that requires information from Jayco, 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 rst.

Installations or alterations to the original equipment vehicle as distributed by Jayco are not

covered by the Jayco Limited Warranty. The special body company, assembler, equipment

installer or up tter is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any

alterations (or any eect of the alterations) to any of the parts, components, systems or

assemblies installed by Jayco. Jayco is not responsible for the safety or quality of design

features, materials or workmanship of any alterations by such suppliers.

 Call 1-(800)-283-8267 or use our website dealer locator to nd an authorized

Jayco dealer in your area. Contact them for an appointment; they will handle all

warranty repair billing and returned parts for you.

 If you cannot locate an authorized Jayco dealer near you, ask the campground sta

for referrals or check the internet. Or contact Jayco Customer Service or your sell-

ing dealer for assistance in locating a repair facility.

 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 Jayco directly;

otherwise, you are expected to pay them.

 Have the RV repair facility inspect your RV. Either they or you must call Jayco

Customer Service to discuss applicable warranty coverage  to any repair

work being performed.

 Jayco Customer Service will issue an authorization number upon warranty repair

approval and advise if any original parts need to be returned.

 Once Jayco Customer Service has issued an authorization number, the RV repair

facility may begin actual repair to your RV.

 Inspect the completed repair work thoroughly. If you are not satised, communi-

cate that immediately to the RV repair facility management. Make sure you are

satised with the repair before you pay or leave the premises.

 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.

This manual is a guide to operation of the features, equipment and controls in your rec-

reation vehicle. If you nd components vary signicantly from what is described, please

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 recreation vehicle.

Information, illustrations and specications in this manual reect the most current avail-

able at the time of publication approval, are subject to change and not intended to indicate

rately by their own individual manufacturer’s limited warranty. The Warranty Packet con-

tains these component manufacturer supplied manuals or information sheets, warranty cards

nance, servicing instructions and warranty coverage. It is important you complete and mail

Chassis Guide

Throughout this manual, frequent reference is made to the vehicle’s Chassis Guide. The

nent information regarding the transmission, tires, etc. Consult the Chassis Guide for oper-

ating safety, maintenance, servicing instructions and warranty coverage. The Chassis Guide

should be considered a permanent component of the vehicle and kept in the motorhome at

all times for reference.
