ALLIED RECREATION GROUP MOTORHOME LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE IS:
This Limited Warranty provided by Allied Recreation Group ("Warrantor")
for your Monaco® or Holiday Rambler® motorhome covers those components,
assemblies and systems of your new motorhome not excluded under the section
"What The Warranty Does Not Cover" and when sold by an authorized dealer, for
twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase date or the 24,000 miles of
use, whichever occurs first. However, this Limited Warranty covers the internal
steel or aluminum structural support frames inside the walls and roof (excluding
slide-outs) for sixty (60) months from the original retail purchase date or 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 24,000 miles of use,
whichever occurs first, and it covers the internal steel or aluminum structural sup-
port frames inside the walls and roof (excluding slide-outs) for twelve (12) months
from the original retail purchase date or 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 any tax or other form claiming
any business use, ownership, or tax benefit related to your motorhome. The above
Limited Warranty coverage periods apply to all owners, including subsequent own-
ers, of the motorhome.
LIMITATION AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARISING BY WAY OF STATE LAW,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY AND ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE
TO THOSE PORTIONS OF THE MOTORHOME COVERED BY THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. WARRANTOR DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED AND
EXPRESS WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ON COMPONENTS AND APPLIANCES
EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE AS SET FORTH BELOW. There is no
warranty of any nature made by Warrantor beyond that contained in this Limited
Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend or modify this Limited
Warranty. The dealer is not the Warrantor's agent but is an independent entity.
Warrantor is not responsible for any undertaking, representation or warranty made
by any dealer or other person beyond those expressly set forth in this Limited
Warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
ALLIED RECREATION GROUP MOTORHOME LIMITED WARRANTY - 2016
WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS:
Warrantor's Limited Warranty covers defects in the manufacture of your mo-
torhome and defects in materials used to manufacture your motorhome. "Defect"
means the failure of the motorhome and/or the materials used to assemble the
motorhome to conform to Warrantor's design and manufacturing specifications
and tolerances. Also see the section "What the Warranty Does Not Cover" set out
below.
WHAT WE WILL DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS:
Warrantor's sole and exclusive obligation is to repair and/or replace, at its option, any
covered defect if: (1) you notify Warrantor or one of its authorized servicing dealers of
the defect within the warranty coverage period and within thirty (30) days of discovering
the defect, but no later than 10 days after the expiration of the warranty period; and (2)
you deliver your Motorhome to Warrantor or Warrantor's authorized servicing dealer at
your cost and expense. It is reasonable to expect some service items to occur during the
warranty period. The performance of warranty repairs shall not extend the original war-
ranty coverage period. Further, any performance of repairs after the warranty coverage
period has expired or any performance of repairs to component parts and appliances that
are excluded from coverage shall be considered "good will" repairs, which shall not alter
the express terms of this Limited Warranty. If the repair or replacement remedy fails to
successfully cure a defect after Warrantor received a reasonable opportunity to cure the
defect(s), your sole and exclusive remedy shall be limited to Warrantor paying you the
cost of having an independent third party perform repair(s) to the defect(s). Warrantor
may use new and/or remanufactured parts and/or components of substantially equal
quality to complete any repair.
Imperfections and/or damage to interior and exterior surfaces, trim, upholstery and
other appearance items may occur at the factory during manufacture, during delivery
of the motorhome to the selling dealer or on the selling dealer's lot. Normally, any such
imperfections are detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer during the
inspection process performed by the Warrantor and the selling dealer. If, however, you
discover any such imperfection or damage when you take delivery of the motorhome,
you must notify your dealer or Warrantor within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase
to have repairs performed at no cost to you in accordance with this Limited Warranty.
If not reported within this time, such imperfections are conclusively presumed to be the
result of normal wear and tear.
If a servicing dealer is unable or unwilling to solve a problem you are convinced is
covered by the Limited Warranty, or that concerns the safety of your motorhome, or that
may involve local consumer protection or "lemon" laws, then you must, to the extent
permitted by law, notify Warrantor directly in writing of the failure to successfully repair
the defect(s) so that Warrantor can become directly involved in performing a successful
repair.
HOW TO GET SERVICE:
For warranty service simply contact one of Warrantor's authorized service centers
for an appointment, then deliver your motorhome (at your expense) to the service
center. If you need assistance in locating an authorized warranty service facility, contact
Warrantor's Owner Relations Department at 877-466-6226.
