ORIGINAL CONSUMER PURCHASER ONLY, when purchased from an authorized Forest River Inc. dealer, for the periods stated below (Warranty Period), that the
covered structures and components of this recreational vehicle shall be free of substantial defects in materials and workmanship attributable to Warrantor.
a.

body structure of this recreational vehicle shall be free of substantial defects in materials and workmanship attributable to Warrantor.

Warrantor further warrants that the roof, tent and frame are free from substantial

defect from the factory in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years for parts and three (3) years for labor from the date of purchase, under normal use
conditions.
EXCLUSIONS FROM THIS WARRANTY: Warrantor expressly disclaims any responsibility for damage to the unit where damage is due to condensation, normal wear
and tear or exposure to elements. Warrantor makes no warranty with regard to, but not limited to, the chassis including without limitation, any mechanical parts or sys-
tems of the chassis, axles, tires, tubes, batteries and gauges, optional generators, routine maintenance, equipment and appliances, or audio and/or video equipment.
Their respective manufacturers and suppliers may warrant some of these items. Warranty information with respect to these items is available from your dealer.
Excessive deterioration or discoloration caused by overexposure to the sun may be excluded from this warranty. Damage caused by rips, tears, snags, fading, soil-
ing, unraveling, environmental issues (mold, mildew, etc.), harsh chemical cleaners and or other abuse is not covered under this warranty. Installation of a roof air
conditioner must be performed only at the designated area on the roof by an approved Forest River Inc. dealer. Improper installation of a roof air conditioner will void
warranty coverage of the roof, lifter system, and related components.
This recreational vehicle is designed solely for its intended purpose of recreational camping and personal use. Warrantor makes no warranty with regard to any rec-
reational vehicle used for commercial, rental, or business purposes, or any recreational vehicle not registered and regularly used in the United States or Canada. For
purposes of this limited warranty, it shall be deemed conclusive evidence of commercial, rental, or business purposes if the recreational vehicle is licensed, titled,
registered, or insured in the name of any corporation, LLC, or any other form of business or commercial entity.
LIMITATION AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: WARRANTOR EXPRESSLY LIMITS THE DURATION OF ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE EXCEPT IN THOSE STATES THAT DO NOT ALLOW THIS
EXCLUSION. WARRANTOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. No action to enforce express or implied warranties shall be commenced later than ninety (90) days after expi-
ration of the Warranty Period. There is no warranty of any nature made by the Warrantor beyond that contained in this Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge,
amend or modify this Warranty or to bind the Warrantor to any action under this warranty, except the Warrantor.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
No action to enforce express or implied warranties shall be commenced without prior written notice to the manufacturer and/or Warrantor at the address listed above
of the alleged defect or nonconformity or the authorized repair facility’s failed repair attempt and MANUFACTURER, AT ITS DIRECT OPTION, SHALL HAVE A FINAL
OPPORTUNITY TO REMEDY.
DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES: THE ORIGINAL CONSUMER PURCHASER OF THIS RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AND ANY
PERSON TO WHOM THIS UNIT IS TRANSFERRED, AND ANY PERSON WHO IS AN INTENDED OR UNINTENDED USER OR BENEFICIARY OF THIS UNIT,
SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM WARRANTOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
NOTICE of any dispute or claim arising under this warranty or any applicable Federal or State laws must be sent to Warrantor at: Forest River Inc., 55470 CR 1,

The terms, conditions, rights and responsibilities of this warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana notwithstanding any other state laws.
WARRANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS: Warrantor will remedy substantial defects in materials and workmanship caused by Warrantor. Warrantor shall elect to remedy the
defect from among the following: repair or replacement. Warranty performance can only be obtained at Warrantor’s authorized dealers and service centers and from
Warrantor at the discretion of the Warrantor. All costs incurred in transporting this recreational vehicle for warranty service shall be borne by Purchaser. Warrantor
shall remedy the defect within a reasonable amount of time after appointment and delivery by Purchaser. All of Warrantor’s expenses in remedying the defect shall
be borne by the Warrantor.
PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS: Purchaser shall deliver this recreational vehicle for warranty service within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect and in no
event after expiration of the Warranty Period, which Warranty Period is one (1) year. All expenses incurred by Purchaser in obtaining warranty service shall be borne
by Purchaser. Warranty service shall, whenever possible, be scheduled with the selling dealer by an appointment in order to avoid possible delays. Purchaser can,
if necessary, obtain a list of persons authorized to perform warranty service by contacting Warrantor at the above address. No action to enforce express or implied
warranties shall be commenced without prior written notice to the manufacturer and/or Warrantor at the address listed above of the alleged defect or nonconformity
or the authorized repair facility’s failed repair attempt and MANUFACTURER, AT ITS DIRECT OPTION, SHALL HAVE A FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO REMEDY.
EVENTS DISCHARGING WARRANTOR FROM OBLIGATION UNDER THIS WARRANTY: Misuse or neglect, including failure to provide reasonable and necessary
maintenance, unauthorized alteration, accident, and improper loading, use as a permanent or full time residence, commercial use or leasing of the recreational
vehicle, shall discharge Warrantor from any obligation under this Warranty. Notwithstanding these or other terms discharging the Warrantor, the provision of service
by a Forest River authorized service center, authorization of repairs by Forest River, or any other attempt to resolve a complaint or request for warranty service shall
not constitute a waiver of Warrantor’s rights.
PARTS AND DESIGN CHANGES: Warrantor reserves the right to change the parts and design of its recreational vehicle from time to time without notice and with
no obligation to maintain spare parts or make corresponding changes in its products previously manufactured.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: To ensure your local dealer’s personal interest in your complete satisfaction, it is recommended that all warranty service be
performed by the authorized dealer from whom you purchased your unit. Following a move or as you are traveling, should warranty service become necessary, such
service shall be performed by any authorized dealer in the United States or Canada. Such service shall also, whenever possible, be scheduled by an appointment
in order to avoid possible delays.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION: A warranty registration is to be completed by the owner at the time of purchase and returned to the Warrantor. The return of this reg-
istration is a condition precedent to warranty coverage; failure to return the completed registration to Warrantor will invalidate this Warranty.
OTHER WARRANTIES: As indicated in the paragraph above, entitled ‘Exclusions From This Warranty’, certain items that are not covered by this Warranty may be
warranted separately by their manufacturers or suppliers. In order to validate those warranties, you may also be required to complete and return to the appropriate
manufacturer the warranty forms included with the information package. See these warranties with respect to their terms and conditions. These other warranties may
cover such items as chassis, tires, tubes, batteries, optional generators, and appliances, which are not covered by this Limited Warranty. For service or parts required
for these products, it may be necessary to write or call the product manufacturer to obtain the nearest authorized service center location. In requesting parts for
separately warranted products from the manufacturer of the product or its authorized service center, it may also be necessary to first obtain a warranty work autho-
rization number before the work is done. It may also be necessary to provide the Product Name, Model and Serial Number along with the description of the prob-
lem and part needed, plus shipping instructions.
