Damon Astoria Pacific Edition, Owner'S Manual

Page: 7 / 121

Introduction
This manual describes many features of your motorhome and provides a guide to operating
procedures so that you can obtain the best performance from those features. Your motorhome
has been designed to conform with, or exceed, the American National Standards Institute A 119.2,
NFPA 1192, CANADIAN CAN/CSA-Z240 RV SERIES-99 (Canadian-built or units built for Canada),
and applicable motor vehicle safety standards. These standards establish the plumbing, heating,
electrical and other requirements for quality and safety. The seal attached just outside the entry
door indicates compliance with these standards. This seal is the outward sign of internal quality.
Like all automotive equipment, your motorhome will require care and regular maintenance in order
to retain its maximum performance characteristics. This manual, along with the specific instructions
provided by the leading appliance manufacturers, are in your Owner’s Information Kit. The Chassis
Operator’s Manual outlines important areas of service and provides a maintenance schedule.
Please follow them carefully to ensure a safe trouble-free service. Study these instructions carefully.
A good working knowledge of your unit and how to care for it will help you enjoy many miles and
years of recreational living.
If you have any questions regarding operation, maintenance, or service, please contact your dealer
immediately so they can assist you. Your dealer’s Service or Sales Department is equipped to
handle most any problem that may occur. Customer service is of the utmost importance to your
dealer and is just as important to the manufacturer. This manual contains a section outlining the
warranty and explaining your rights and obligations, as well as the rights and obligations of the
dealer and manufacturer, under the terms of the warranty. Please read this section carefully. You
will be better informed in case you have a warranty related problem and your dealer will be better
able to get you back on the road again in a timely manner.
We sincerely believe that your dealer and the factory representative will be able to solve any problem
which may arise. If their combined efforts are not satisfactory, please send a letter describing the
circumstances to:
