Introduction

S

unnyBrook RV’s management and employees
welcomes you to our growing family of Travel Trailer

and Fifth Wheel owners. Since SunnyBrook RV’s inception
in 1992, our goal has been to provide towable recreational
vehicles designed and engineered to give many years of
enjoyment to our customers, who love the great outdoors.
This manual has been compiled to assist campers, both
novice and experienced in set-up, use, and preventative
maintenance for continued like-new appearance and

performance from their travel trailer or  fth wheel.  Like 
 nely crafted furniture or highly engineered automobiles, 

EDGEWATER

  travel  trailers  and   fth  wheels  require 

care and regular maintenance to retain maximum
performance characteristics. If, after taking delivery of
your new trailer, it requires additional adjustment, please
return the trailer to your dealer as soon as possible. This
Owner’s Manual, along with information provided in your
Owner’s Information Package, outlines important areas of
maintenance and provides maintenance schedules to ensure
safe, trouble-free service.

Knowledge of trailer usage,

components and maintenance will help you enjoy many
miles and years of recreational living.

INITIAL DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

SunnyBrook RV employees assemble travel trailers and  fth 

wheels to standards, which meet or exceed local, state and
national codes. Each trailer has been thoroughly inspected
at our facilities prior to shipment. Every

EDGEWATER

dealer has the responsibility to re-inspect and to prepare

every travel trailer and  fth wheel during the pre-delivery 

phase of the sale.

Dealership personnel will provide

instruction in basic trailer use and features plus complete
a pre-delivery inspection with you. Dealership pre-delivery
instruction and inspections should be supplemented by
a thorough review of all material furnished with the
trailer by SunnyBrook RV and component and appliance
manufacturers.
