Welcome to Our Family!

Thank you for purchasing a quality built Grand Design recreational vehicle and choosing

the RV lifestyle as a family friendly form of leisure, recreation and fun. It is the intent

of the Grand Design RV Team and our Dealer Partners to do our absolute best to assure

that you enjoy a positive ownership experience and capitalize on all the exciting

opportunities this “Grand” lifestyle has to offer.

Your new Grand Design RV has been designed and built to our personal high standards

as well as those of the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association. In addition, our products

meet or exceed all applicable state and federal regulations, standards and requirements

in order to assure your safety.

Please thoroughly read and understand the content of this Owner’s Manual and the

various component manufacturer manuals that came with your RV. It is imperative for

your personal safety that you become familiar with and learn how to properly operate

the various systems, appliances and components included in your RV. Read all cautions,

warnings and notices very carefully. Familiarize yourself and your family with the safety

features built into your RV, and what actions and steps are necessary to assure safe

camping. Always place the safety of you and your family first.

Please carefully read the Limited Base Warranty and Limited Structural Warranty that

comes with your new RV. Be sure to understand the extent of your coverage and duration

as well as the various exclusions and limitations that may apply. In addition, please

understand the ongoing maintenance and upkeep requirements that need to be per-

formed for your warranty to remain in effect. Failure to perform required maintenance

could void your warranty. Your new RV may have additional warranties provided by the

various component suppliers that extend beyond the Limited Base Warranty. Please

be sure to read all component warranty information found in your Owner Information

Package and submit any required registration forms.

Again, thank you from Grand Design RV and your Grand Design RV Dealer for your
