MONACO MOTORHOME 2006 LIMITED WARRANTY
What the Period of Coverage Is:
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 fi rst 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs
fi rst. 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 fi rst 50,000 miles of use, whichever occurs fi rst.
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 fi rst 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs fi rst. 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 retail purchase date or the fi rst
24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs fi rst. A conclusive presumption that your motorhome has been used for
commercial and/or business purposes arises if you have fi led a federal or state tax form claiming any business tax
benefi t 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 fi ling 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.
Limitations 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 fi tness 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.
What the Warranty Covers:
Warrantor's Limited Warranty covers defects in the manufacture of your motorhome 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 specifi cation and tolerances. Also
see the section "What the Warranty Does Not Cover" set out below.
