IMPORTANT:
Always give model, year and the VIN (vehicle identification number) information
when ordering parts. Also, we recommend that you keep a copy of that information separate from
your Aviator in the event of theft or vandalism. You may be required to supply a copy of
this information to the authorities.
Information for your Aviator listing manufacturer, model, and serial numbers for major factory installed
appliances and accessories are on your SD Card. This information could be useful to you in the event of
theft, vandalism or disaster and also when certain service functions may require it.
Decals and data plates placed throughout the recreational vehicle aid in its safe and efficient operation,
or give service instructions. Read all decals, data and instruction plates before operating your Aviator.
