MONACO MOTORHOME LIMITED WARRANTY
If you use your Monaco® motorhome only for recreational travel and family camping purposes, the
Limited Warranty provided by Monaco ("Warrantor") covers your new motorhome when sold by an
authorized 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 struc-
ture of the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front walls for twelve (12) months from
the original retail 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 subsequent owners, of the
motorhome. However, a subsequent owner must submit a warranty transfer form by filing the form
through an authorized Monaco dealer. A subsequent owner's warranty coverage period is the remaining
balance of the warranty coverage period the prior owner was entitled to under this Limited Warranty.
Warranty transfer forms can be obtained by contacting the Customer Relations Department. There is no
charge for the transfer.
