Manufacturers’ Warranties

For any components with separate warranties on your
tent camper, be sure to check the literature supplied by
the manufacturer to see if they require you to register
your purchase with them to validate their warranty. These
warranties generally apply only to the original purchaser
of the tent camper. Forest River Inc. recommends that
you send the various warranty registration cards or forms
immediately before any time constraints on registration
expire, possibly voiding your warranty.

Manufacturers’ literature is supplied with the owner’s
information packet in newly delivered units. Only those
products and options, which are installed on your
camper, will be included in this packet. If you have ques-
tions regarding this literature, discuss them with your
dealer during the pre-delivery inspection and report any
literature shortage at that time.

General Warranty Information

The appliances in your tent camper will provide home-
like convenience while traveling. They have been
designed and tested by their manufacturers for maximum
service in a tent camper application. Each appliance in
your camper is covered by Forest River’s comprehensive
warranty as well as being warranted by its respective
manufacturer.

It is important that you review all the literature provided
in the manufacturers’ information packet. Fill out and mail
any warranty registration cards or forms required by the
appliance manufacturer at this time. Failure to do so
could void your warranty. Be sure to have your dealer go
over the operation of the appliances with you, and note
any shortage of literature you may have at that time.

It is important also that you carefully read all the manu-
facturers’ information provided regarding both operation
and maintenance of the appliances. Pay close attention
to all safety precautions given and be sure to follow
them. Keep all literature, including this manual, with the
tent camper for easy reference.

If service on any appliance is required, contact your
dealer, or an authorized service representative of the
appliance manufacturer. Appliances available in the
camper include the range, refrigerator, water heater, and
optional furnace. Operating instructions can be found in
the literature provided with each appliance in the manu-
facturers’ information packet.

NOTE:

Be sure your dealer completes the retail pre-delivery
inspection form and Warranty Registration form (refer to
page 8) supplied with your camper, within 10 days of
purchase, and that both you and the dealer sign and date
them before returning them to Forest River to register
your warranty.

Dealer’s Responsibilities

1. The selling dealership is responsible for inspecting

both factory and dealer installed components for
proper operation. This is known as the pre-delivery
inspection and systems check.

2. Your dealer is required to provide a thorough and

complete walk-through demonstration. This demon-
stration should provide a good understanding of
how your new RV operates.

3. The owner’s information packet should be pre-

sented at this time. This information should include
all warranty cards, component information, opera-
tion and maintenance instructions relating to your
new unit.

4. All component warranty forms should be discussed

and/or completed at this time. Your selling dealer
should assist you in understanding any and all lim-
ited warranty provisions to help you avoid loss of
warranty for any reason. Ask any questions you
may have before leaving the dealership.

5. Your dealer should provide you with information

concerning any need for service for your unit,
whether in or out of their area. They should provide
contact numbers for the dealership both during and
after hours along with contact information for the
correct Forest River division.
