INTRODUCTION 

Your new 

Pacific Coachworks 

recreational vehicle is 

an investment in family fun. It has been designed to pro-
vide homelike conveniences for your family while you 
travel and camp. This owner's manual provides helpful 
suggestions and useful information to help you get max-
imum enjoyment from your new recreational vehicle. 
 
The recreational vehicle, like the automobile, will 
require some care and regular maintenance. The few 
minutes spent reading these instructions will result in 
you knowing what to expect and how to correct and 
prevent minor difficulties plus give you a good working 
knowledge of the unit. 
 

Should you have any additional questions as to oper-

ation, maintenance, or service, please contact your 

dealer. 

 
Your new 

Pacific Coachworks 

recreational vehicle has 

been constructed to conform with or exceed federal and 
state safety requirements. The seal affixed to the outside 
of your RV next to main entrance door is the 
Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) seal 
(or Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association 
/Canadian Standards Association (CRVA/CSA) seals in 
Canada). It certifies that your vehicle complies with 
these nationally recognized requirements: 
ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C Standard on Rec. Veh. (for 
RVIA units), or CAN/CSA-Z24ORV Recreational 
Vehicles (for CRVA/CSA units). 

In addition, a seal issued by a State building code 
agency may be next to the RVIA seal. It certifies that 
your vehicle complies with the RV regulations of that 
State. 
 
The label affixed to the outside of your RV on the for-
ward half of the left side is the Federal Certification 
label. It indicates compliance with these requirements: 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 
(for U.S. units), 

or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 

(for Canadian units).
