inspected before shipment. Your dealer is 
responsible for performing a complete pre-
delivery inspection of the chassis and all motor 
home components.

procedure, the dealer is responsible for road 
testing the motor home, noting, and correcting 
any problems before delivery.

FRONT AXLE TIRE 

ALIGNMENT

We recommend that you have the front 

suspension and steering alignment checked and 
adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle 
according to your needs. Thereafter, have 
alignment inspected periodically to maintain 
vehicle steering performance and prevent uneven 
tire wear.

additional information you need, as well as 
answer any questions you might have about 
operating the equipment in your motor home. 
When it comes to service, remember that your 
dealer knows your vehicle best and is interested 
in your satisfaction. Your dealer will provide 
quality maintenance and any other assistance that 
you may require during your ownership of this 
vehicle.

their assistance.

NHTSA cannot become involved in individual 
problems between you, your dealer, or 
Winnebago Industries
