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

may involve damage to your vehicle or a risk to

your personal safety. Read and follow them

carefully.

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, will result in death or

serious personal injury.

SECTION 1 –

INTRODUCTION

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-

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.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect

which could cause a crash or could cause injury

or death, you should immediately inform the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) in addition to notifying Winnebago

Industries, Inc.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious personal injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

result in minor or moderate personal

SECTION 1 –

INTRODUCTION

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

Winnebago Industries, Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the

Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at:

1-888-327-4236; (TTY: 1-800-424-9153)

or go to http://www.safercar.gov
