WARRANTY

   1a. 

WARRANTY OF 

CONFORMITY AT TIME OF SALE

    ROADMASTER, Inc. warrants that at the time of sale of this product it will be 

free from defects in material and manufacture and will conform to ROADMASTER’S 

specifications for the product.  

   1b. 

CONDITIONAL ONE-YEAR WARRANTY

   In addition to the preceding time-of-sale warranty, if the product registration 

card is completely and accurately filled out and mailed to ROADMASTER within 

thirty (30) days of purchase, ROADMASTER will provide an additional warranty 

that for a period of one year after sale the product will remain in good working 

order, PROVIDED THAT the product is installed and maintained in accordance 

with ROADMASTER’S instructions and is not subjected to: (a) alteration or unau-

thorized repairs or repairs by anyone other than ROADMASTER or a ROADMAS-

TER-authorized service center, (b) misuse, abuse, commercial use, or improper 

maintenance, (c) Acts of God (including without limitation hurricanes, tornadoes, 

floods, or other severe weather or natural phenomena), (d) failures due to products 

not supplied by ROADMASTER, or (e) other treatments, uses, or installations for 

which the product was not intended.  This warranty extends only to the first retail 

purchaser-consumer of the product and is not transferable.   

  

EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD:

  If ROADMASTER receives the product 

registration card, completely and accurately filled out, within thirty (30) days of 

purchase, ROADMASTER will enlarge the one-year warranty period in the preced-

ing paragraph to a period of two years.

 2. 

DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES

    The preceding warranties are the exclusive and sole express warranties given 

by ROADMASTER.  They supersede any prior, contrary or additional representa-

tions, whether oral or written.  No agent, representative, dealer or employee has 

the authority to alter or increase the obligations or limitations of this warranty.  

Any implied warranties, including the WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY and 

any WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, are limited in 

duration to thirty days or the term of the applicable express warranty provided 

above, whichever is longer.

   Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, 

so the above limitation may not apply to you.

 3. 

EXCLUSIVE REMEDY 

FOR ANY NONCONFORMITIES

    If during the applicable Warranty Period, the product does not conform to the 

preceding Warranties, notify ROADMASTER as provided below, and within a rea-

sonable time ROADMASTER will provide, at its option, one of the following:  (1) re-

placement components for any nonconforming or defective product or components 

or (2) the percentage of the purchase price for the nonconforming product equal to 

the percentage of the Warranty Period remaining when ROADMASTER is notified 

of the nonconformity.  ROADMASTER will, at its option, (a) use new and/or recon-

ditioned parts in performing warranty repairs and making replacement products, (b) 

use parts or products of original or improved design in the repair or replacement.  

If ROADMASTER repairs or replaces a product, its warranty continues for the

remaining portion of the original Warranty Period or 60 days from the date of the 

return shipment to the customer, whichever is greater. All replaced products and 

all parts removed from repaired products become the property of ROADMASTER.  

ROADMASTER will not provide, and will not be liable for, labor, costs of removal 

or reinstallation of components, disposal, shipping, freight, taxes, or other inci-

dental charges.

  

THESE REMEDIES ARE THE EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE REMEDIES FOR ANY 

BREACH OF WARRANTY. 

 

   For any breach of warranty, the Owner must telephone ROADMASTER at 

1-800-669-9690 within thirty (30) days after discovering the nonconformity.  Do 

not return any product without first calling ROADMASTER and getting a return 

authorization number.  Returned products must include the return authorization 

number and a copy of the original invoice, bill or other proof of the date of purchase.  

The date of purchase must coincide with the original warranty registration card on 

file.  ROADMASTER will authorize (a) shipment of the product to ROADMASTER 

or (b) repair or replacement at the nearest warranty service center—in both cases 

with shipping at your expense.  Do not purchase replacement parts or pay for 

repair labor—you will not be reimbursed.  Compliance with the requirements of 

this paragraph is a condition to coverage under the Warranty:  if these require-

ments are not complied with, ROADMASTER will have no obligation to provide 

any remedy for any breach of warranty.

 4. 

DISCLAIMER OF INCIDENTAL 

AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

   IN NO EVENT SHALL ROADMASTER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, 

SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING 

FROM NONDELIVERY OR FROM THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE 

THE PRODUCT OR FROM DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT.

   Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-

quential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.  

 5. 

APPLICABLE LAW

   This Warranty will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in 

accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without reference to its 

choice of law rules.  The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale 

of Goods will not apply to this Warranty.  

 6. 

SEVERABILITY

   If any provision of this warranty is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then 

the remainder shall have full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be 

partially enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law to effectuate the purpose 

of the agreement.

 7. 

ADDRESS FOR NOTICES TO ROADMASTER

   ROADMASTER, Inc., 6110 NE 127th Ave, Vancouver, WA 98682

   This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other 

rights which vary from State to State.

Limited Warranty

Symptom

  A monitor message — a red LED 
and a “Braking” LCD text message, 
or a green LED with an “Even Brake” 
LCD text message — stays on the 
screen (does not clear).

  A few minutes after beginning to 
tow, the motorhome monitor indicates 
the towed vehicle has a low battery, 
even though the battery is charged.

  After installation, the motorhome 
monitor does not report braking ac-
tivity or system status. The LCD text 
message reads, “Even Brake.”

  The first time Even Brake is acti-
vated, the towed vehicle brakes with 
excessive force, ‘flat-spotting’ the 
tires.

Solution

Communications

  The motorhome monitor is not receiving a clear signal from the ICX 
transmitter.

  If possible, relocate the ICX transmitter to a higher position. 

  Relocate the motorhome monitor.

  Check the power and ground connections at the ICX transmitter — the 
red wire should be connected to 12 volts positive (power); the white wire 
should be connected to 12 volts negative (ground).
  Also check the fuses.

  The monitor is not programmed to the ICX transmitter. The ICX trans-
mitter and the motorhome monitor are programmed as a set. If a replace-
ment monitor, a replacement ICX transmitter or a second vehicle kit has 
been installed, follow the instructions included in the kits. 

Installed in vehicle with ‘active’ brakes

  The vehicle may have an ‘active’ braking system. Refer to the caution 
statement on page one for information.
