SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
Winnebago Towables employees welcome
you to our growing family of travel trailer and
fifth wheel owners. Since Winnebago Towables
inception, 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 enjoyment from their
travel trailer or fifth wheel. Like finely crafted
furniture or highly engineered automobiles,
Winnebago Towable travel trailers and fifth
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 operation 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.
Note: This manual is of a general nature only.
Some equipment and features described
or shown in this manual may not be
available in your model. Because of the
Winnebago Towables continuous
program of product improvement, it is
possible that recent product changes and
information may not be included.
INITIAL DEALER
RESPONSIBILITY
Winnebago Towables employees assemble
travel trailers and fifth 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 Winnebago
Towable
dealer has the responsibility to reinspect
and to prepare every travel trailer and fifth 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 Winnebago
Towables and component and appliance
manufacturers. The dealer/customer pre-delivery
