Rambler

®

 covers those components, assemblies and systems of your new motorhome not 

excluded  under  the  section  “What  is  Not  Covered”  and  when  sold  by  an  authorized 

dealer, for twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase date or the first 24,000 

miles of use, whichever occurs first. However, this Limited Warranty covers the internal 

steel or aluminum structural support frames inside the walls and roof (excluding slide-

outs) for sixty (60) months from the original retail purchase date or the first 50,000 miles 

of use, whichever occurs first. If you use your motorhome for any rental, commercial or 

business purposes whatsoever, the Limited Warranty provided by Warrantor covers your 

new motorhome when sold by an authorized dealer for ninety (90) days from the original 

retail purchase date or the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first, and it covers

INCLUDING  ANY  IMPLIED  WARRANTY  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  AND  ANY 

IMPLIED  WARRANTY  OF  FITNESS  FOR  A  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  ARE 

LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND 

ARE  LIMITED  IN  SCOPE  OF  COVERAGE  TO  THOSE  PORTIONS  OF  THE 

MOTORHOME  COVERED  BY  THIS  LIMITED  WARRANTY.  WARRANTOR 

DISCLAIMS  ALL  IMPLIED  AND  EXPRESS  WARRANTIES,  INCLUDING  THE 

IMPLIED  WARRANTY  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  AND  THE  IMPLIED 

WARRANTY  OF  FITNESS  FOR  A  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  ON 

COMPONENTS AND APPLIANCES EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE AS SET 

FORTH BELOW. 

There is no warranty of any nature made by Warrantor beyond that 

contained in this Limited Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend or modify 

this  Limited  Warranty.  The  dealer  is  not  the  Warrantor’s  agent  but  is  an  independent 

entity. Warrantor is not responsible for any undertaking, representation or warranty made 

by any dealer or other person beyond those expressly set forth in this Limited Warranty. 

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above 

limitation may not apply to you. 

WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS:

Warrantor’s Limited Warranty covers defects in the manufacture of your motorhome 

and defects in materials used to manufacture your motorhome. “Defect” means the failure 

of the motorhome and/or the materials used to assemble the motorhome to conform to 

Warrantor’s design and manufacturing specification and tolerances. Also see the section 

“What the Warranty Does Not Cover” set out below. 

WHAT WE WILL DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS:

Warrantor’s sole and exclusive obligation is to repair and/or replace, at its option, any 

covered defect if: (1) you notify Warrantor or one of its authorized servicing dealers of 

the defect within the warranty coverage period and within five (5) days of discovering the 

defect;  and  (2)  you  deliver  your  Motorhome  to  Warrantor  or  Warrantor’s  authorized 

servicing dealer at your cost and expense. It is reasonable to expect some service items to 

occur during the warranty period. The performance of warranty repairs shall not extend 

the  original  warranty  coverage  period.  Further,  any  performance  of  repairs  after  the 

warranty coverage period has expired or any performance of repairs to component parts 

and appliances that are excluded from coverage shall be considered “good will” repairs, 

which  shall  not  alter  the  express  terms  of  this  Limited  Warranty.  If  the  repair  or 

replacement  remedy  fails  to  successfully  cure  a  defect  after  Warrantor  received  a 

reasonable  opportunity  to  cure  the  defect(s),  your  sole  and  exclusive  remedy  shall  be 

limited to Warrantor paying you the cost of having an independent third party perform 

repair(s)  to  the  defect(s).  Warrantor  may  use  new  and/or  remanufactured  parts  and/or 

components of substantially equal quality to complete any repair.  

Imperfections  and/or  damage  to  interior  and  exterior  surfaces,  trim,  upholstery  and 

other appearance items may occur at the factory during manufacture, during delivery of 

the  motorhome  to  the  selling  dealer  or  on  the  selling  dealer’s  lot.  Normally,  any  such 

imperfections are detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer during the 

inspection process performed by the Warrantor and the selling dealer. If, however, you 

discover any such imperfection or damage when you take delivery of the motorhome, you 

must notify your dealer or Warrantor within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase to 

have repairs performed at no cost to you in accordance with this Limited Warranty. If not 

reported within this time, such imperfections are conclusively presumed to be the result 

of normal wear and tear. 

If a servicing dealer is unable or unwilling to solve a problem you are convinced is 

covered by the Limited Warranty, or that concerns the safety of your motorhome, or that 

may  involve  local  consumer  protection  or  “lemon”  laws,  then  you 

must

,  to  the  extent 

permitted  by  law, 

notify  Warrantor  directly  in  writing

  of  the  failure  to  successfully 

repair  the  defect(s)  so  that  Warrantor  can  become  directly  involved  in  performing  a 

successful repair.  

HOW TO GET SERVICE:

The “Acknowledgement of Receipt of Warranty/Production Information” form must be 

returned to Warrantor promptly upon purchase to assure proper part replacement and repair 

of  your  motorhome.  Failure  to  return  the  “Acknowledgement  of  Receipt  of 

Warranty/Production  Information”  form  will  not  affect  your  rights  under  the  Limited 

Warranty so long as you can furnish proof of purchase. For warranty service simply contact
