WARNING: Read all instructions in manual before using your

camper.

This manual has been provided by Jayco, Inc. for the sole purpose of

providing instructions concerning the operation and maintenance of this
vehicle and its components. Nothing in this manual creates any warranty,
either expressed or implied. The only warranty offered by Jayco, Inc. is as set
forth in the limited warranty applicable to this vehicle.

The owner’s failure to provide required service and/or maintenance

could result in the loss of warranty. The owner should review Jayco’s limited
warranty and the limited warranties of all other manufacturers offering them
that are applicable to this vehicle.

Instructions are included in the manual for operating various components

which are optional on some vehicles. In addition, the owner should refer to
individual manufacturer’s operating instructions contained in the owner’s
packet.

WARNING: Review the compatibility of your tow vehicle with the trailer you
will be towing. You must not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating of the
trailer (GVWR). Know your loaded hitch weight and select a hitch that is
adequate for that weight. You, as the owner, are responsible for the safety and
compatibility of your tow vehicle and trailer selections. Consult your hitch
and tow vehicle manufacturers with any questions before you tow your trailer.
You are responsible for the maintenance of your tow vehicle and trailer. Do
not exceed the tow or cargo capacity of your tow vehicle, and remember that
the GCVWR relates to towing capacity and does not necessarily indicate
braking capacity. Do not overload your trailer with additions, cargo, or tank
fluids to exceed the GVWR of the trailer. Do not load your trailer so that it
is unbalanced from front to rear or from side to side. You must clearly
understand how your particular tow vehicle capacities are calculated. Make
sure your tow vehicle is mechanically sound for your intended usage and pay
particular attention to suspension components, tires and tire pressure. We
recommend you use sway control devices and weight distributing hitches with
all Jayco towable products (excluding fifth-wheels, which use a different type
of hitch). Many states have lower speed limit requirements for tow vehicle/
trailer combinations. Obey all traffic laws and use your seatbelts at all times.
We recommend that you do not exceed 55 MPH when towing a trailer.
Consult an expert for specific driver education when towing a trailer. There
are private RV driving schools and some RV clubs offer driving seminars as
part of their club activities. Recreation vehicle publications and the Internet
can be a source of information regarding RV driver education as well as many
other topics to help you learn to safely use your recreation vehicle.
