NOTE:
Always give model, year, and the last 8 digits of the
Forest River serial number when ordering parts. The
serial number is a combination of 17 letters and digits,
based upon the information listed in the above table. We
recommend keeping a copy of that information in a safe
place, separate from the motorhome. In the event of theft
or vandalism, you may be required to supply a copy of
this information to the authorities.
A vehicle data card is also supplied with your coach, list-
ing manufacturer, model, and serial number information
for major factory-installed appliances and accessories. A
separate copy of this information could be useful to you
in the event of theft, vandalism, disaster, or when certain
service functions may require it.
Decals and data plates placed throughout the recre-
ational vehicle aid in its safe and efficient operation; oth-
ers give service instructions. Read all decals, data, and
instruction plates before operating your motorhome. If
any decal, data, or instruction plate has been removed,
is damaged or painted over, it should be replaced.
Safety Regulations and Propane
The following warnings are posted throughout your rec-
reational vehicle to provide information on propane
safety. They have been installed not only because of the
requirement to do so, but also as a constant reminder to
occupants of the recreational vehicle to exercise proper
caution when using or being around propane appliances
and equipment. We are listing them here so you may
study them and be sure that you and your family under-
stand and follow them.
W ARNING
Do not place propane cylinders inside the vehicle.
Propane cylinders are equipped with safety
devices that relieve excessive pressure by dis-
charging propane to the atmosphere. Propane is
highly flammable. Failure to comply may lead to
fire or explosion and result in death or serious
injury.
