those components, assemblies and systems of your new towable product not 

excluded under the section “What The Warranty Does Not Cover” and when sold 

by an authorized dealer, for twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase 

date.  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. If you use your towable 

product for any rental, commercial or business purposes whatsoever, the Limited 

Warranty provided by Warrantor covers your new towable product when sold by 

an authorized dealer for ninety (90) days from the original retail purchase date, and 

it covers the internal steel or aluminum structural support frames inside the walls 

and roof (excluding slide-outs) for twelve (12) months from the original retail 

purchase date. A conclusive presumption that your towable product has been used 

for commercial and/or business purposes arises if you have filed any tax or other 

form claiming any business use, ownership, or tax benefit related to your towable 

product.

THIs LImITeD WARRANTy Is LImITeD To THe oRIgINAL

CoNsumeR puRCHAseR AND Is NoT TRANsfeRAbLe.

LIMITATION AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARISING BY WAY OF STATE LAW, 

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 TOWABLE PRODUCT 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 “mechanical defects” in the manufacture 

of your towable product. “mechanical Defect” means a nonconforming condition 

that substantially impairs the use and operation of the towable product. 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 towable product 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 towable product 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 towable product, 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 towable 

product, 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 or repair of your towable product. 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 one of Warrantor’s 

authorized service centers for an appointment, then deliver your towable product 

(at your expense) to the service center. If you need assistance in locating an 

authorized warranty service facility, contact Warrantor’s Warranty Department::
