CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO RV OWNERSHIP
Welcome to the growing family of new VENTURE RV owners and the
world of recreational vehicle travel. The purchase of your VENTURE RV
product allows you to enjoy this type of camping and leisure travel. Your
Recreation Vehicle has been designed, engineered and built for;
camping, leisure travel, full time travel, winter home, fishing and hunting
trips.
This owner's manual was prepared to assist you in understanding the
proper use and operation of various containment systems, servicing and
maintenance of component parts, and explanation of your warranty
protection. If this is your first RV travel coach, you will want to acquaint
yourself with all aspects and information found in this manual plus
manuals supplied by component manufacturers.
These materials will reflect the most current information available for the
user. Some components and items may not be in your coach as they may
be options on different models.
Keep this owner's manual in your recreational vehicle for handy
reference. Get to know your new vehicle and how it operates. You should
carefully read and understand these instructions, as well as, information
supplied by the manufacturers of separately warranted products, since
they contain important operating, safety, and maintenance instructions. If
you have questions that are not adequately answered by this manual or
other booklets, consult your dealer. If the dealer cannot satisfactorily
answer your questions, the dealership will call our staff for additional
information.
Every effort has been made to provide you with a safe, dependable
product. Your vehicle complies with applicable requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, State Regulations, Canadian Standards
Associations (CSA) where applicable, and complies with requirements of
ANSI Standard 1192, the nationally recognized "Standard for
Recreational Vehicles – Installation of Plumbing, Heating and Electrical
Systems." The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) periodically inspect our
production lines and assists us in maintaining strict compliance with
installation and safety standards for those systems. Your follow-up with
periodic safety inspections and a program of preventive
maintenance is important for the continuation of safe and trouble-
free operation.
Camping is a great way to relax and enjoy the outdoors with your friends
and family. Please remember to tread lightly on our beautiful land and
