MOTORHOME LIMITED WARRANTY

What the Period of Coverage Is:

If you use your Holiday Rambler® motorhome only for recreational travel

and family camping purposes, the Limited Warranty provided by Holiday

Rambler ("Warrantor") covers your new motorhome when sold by an author-

ized dealer, for twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase date or the

first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first. However, the Limited

Warranty provided by Warrantor covers the steel or aluminum frame structure

of the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front walls for sixty

(60) months from the original retail purchase date or the first 50,000 miles of

use, whichever occurs first.

If you use your motorhome for any rental, commercial or business purposes

whatsoever, the Limited Warranty provided by Warrantor covers your new

motorhome when sold by an authorized dealer for ninety (90) days from the

original retail purchase date or the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs

first. In addition, the Limited Warranty provided by Warrantor covers the steel

or aluminum frame structure of the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and

rear and front walls for twelve (12) months from the original purchase date or

the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first. A conclusive presumption

that your motorhome has been used for commercial and/or business purposes

arises if you have filed a federal or state tax form claiming any business tax

benefit related to your ownership of the motorhome.

The above Limited Warranty coverage applies to all owners, including sub-

sequent owners, of the motorhome. However, a subsequent owner must submit

a warranty transfer form by filing the form through an authorized Holiday

Rambler dealer. A subsequent owner's warranty coverage period is the

remaining balance of the warranty coverage period the prior owner was enti-

tled to under this Limited Warranty. Warranty transfer forms can be obtained

by contacting the Consumer Affairs Department. There is no charge for the

transfer.

Page 54: Jump Starting
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jump Starting Alternative Starting Procedure: A weak or discharged battery will not supply the amount of CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) necessary to initiate and maintain cranking the engine while supplying the required voltage to start the engine. If the engine fails to crank, or cranks slowly due to a weak chassis battery, there are electrical back-up sys- tems in place that will increase chassis battery voltage.
Page 55 Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Next, hold the switch down for one minute and turn the key on. The battery voltage gauge on the dash should indicate at least 12 Volts. If voltage is sufficient with the Auxiliary Start switch held down, start the engine.
Page 56 Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jump Starting: • When using an external electrical source to connect to the chassis battery, turn the main battery disconnect switches OFF prior to hooking up the jumper cables. • Hook up the cables then wait several minutes to allow a surface charge to build in the chassis battery before attempting to start the engine.
Page 57: Towing Procedures
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOWING If calling a towing company for service, it is recommended to use a low- PROCEDURES boy/landall type of trailer. If a tow truck is used it needs to have a support arm that goes under the motorhome and secures to the front axle. Inform the tow company of the axle weights and total weight of the motorhome.
Page 58: Tires
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIRES The tire designed for the motorhome is a very technical and precisely engineered product. To obtain the maximum wear and best service out of the tires it is helpful to understand the function of a tire. A tire is a “container” that holds air.
Page 59: Weight Terms
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tire Pressure Always comply with the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure inflation Inflation Guideline guideline. The actual weight of the motorhome can vary significantly depending on how it is loaded. For optimum tire wear, ride and handling always comply with the manufacturers guideline.
Page 60 Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will give a clear indication of exactly how the weight of the motorhome is distributed. These instructions and diagrams are presented on the following pages. When the total weight and the weight on each axle is known, the tire load data chart in this manual will show the correct cold inflation pressure per tire for each axle.
Page 61: Weight Lable (Example)
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weight Label (Example) OM100179 WEIGHING THE Improperly inflated tires, or suspension that is incorrectly loaded, can result MOTORHOME in poor fuel economy, poor handling and over-stressed chassis components. Vehicle loading affects tire inflation pressure and the load carried by each axle. Motorhome axle configuration and floor plan styles will require different weighing procedures.
Page 62 Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUTION: If actual weight carried by any tire is below the tire chart weight specification a minimum tire pressure of at least 75 psi. must be maintained. Tire pressure below 75 psi. can overheat and damage the tire casing leading to pre- mature tire failure or blowout.
Page 63 Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: The most accurate method to determine proper tire pressure is a four corner weigh. A slide-out motorhome will require each tire to be weighed independently. Weighing an axle will net the total weight carried by that axle. When cal- culating the drive axle dual tire pressure using a independ- ent corner weigh method, divide the total weight by two to determine the weight carried by each tire.

Page 66: Inspecting & Pressure
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspecting & Regularly check the tire pressure. If a nail or screw punctures a tire, the Pressure object can lodge in a tire creating a slow leak. The object may eventually be spotted on a front tire or an outside rear dual. However, if there is a slow leak on an inside dual, it will probably go unnoticed.
Page 67: Tire Rotation
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Higher than recommended pressure can cause: • Hard ride. • Tire bruising or carcass damage. • Rapid tread wear in the center of the tire. WARNING: Improperly inflated tires can effect handling or cause sudden tire failure possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Page 68: Tire Vibration
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tire Vibration Sudden tire failure or blowout is often preceded by tire vibration. Some other symptoms that can cause tire failure are a bulge in the sidewall or swelling in the tire carcass. Striking an object or large hole in the road surface can damage a tire.
Page 69: Storage Of Tires - Long Term
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUTION: Supporting the tires prevents damage to the sidewall of the tires but does not prevent tire roll. Proper Cleaning: Road oil will cause deterioration of the rubber. Dirt buildup will help hold chemicals in the air next to tire and will also cause deterioration. When cleaning any rubber product, proper care and methods in cleaning must be used to obtain the maximum service years out of the tires.
Page 70: In Case Of Flat Tire
Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: When the motorhome is stored the tires should be inflated to maximum inflation pressure as indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Failure to take these steps can cause early deterioration and shorten the life of the tires.
Page 71 Driving & Safety --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hub Piloted Mounting: • Before using flange nuts that have already been used in service, apply two drops of oil at the point between the flange and hex. This will allow parts to rotate freely and provide proper clamping force when tightened.

Page 314: Fuel Tank
Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUEL TANK The diesel fuel tank is made of a 12 gauge steel. The total capacity of the tank is 75 gallons. The engine pickup tube is cut at a 45° angle to allow opti- mum flow to the engine. NOTE: If the motorhome has been stored for any length of time, check the vent for blockage.
Page 315: Fuel Sending Unit
Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Centroid fuel sender has no moving parts. It works by measuring FUEL SENDING UNIT capacitance, an electrical property, between its inner and outer tubes in the tank. The more fuel between the tubes, the higher the reading. Electronics in the hockey-puck head of the sender convert the capacitance to current to drive the fuel gauge.
Page 316 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Calibration procedures should be performed by a qualified service technician. Calibration procedure will require both Empty and Full potentiometers be adjusted. Proper calibration is performed by calibrating the Empty side first, then the Full side. Ensure the Fuel Tank is full prior to performing the following procedure. 1.
Page 317: Fuel Lines & Hoses
Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make a visual check for fuel leaks at all engine-mounted fuel lines and con- FUEL LINES & HOSES nections and at the fuel tank pick-up and return lines. Leaks in this area may best be detected by checking for accumulation of fuel under the tank. Engine performance and auxiliary equipment is dependent upon the ability of flexible hoses to transfer lubricating oil, air, coolant and fuel oil.
