Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing
moisture from the air. Avoid leaks, but if leaks do
occur, make repairs promptly.
Avoid bringing mold into your motorhome.
Plants, cloths, books, and other household items
may already have mold present. It is easy to
transfer mold into your motorhome environment.
Monitor your motorhome. Periodically check
those hidden areas in corners, closets, and
cabinets to assure mold is not present.
What if I Find Mold?
If mold develops, clean the area with a
concentrate of soap and bleach. Items that
contain mold that cannot be cleaned should be
removed from the vehicle.
Can Mold Harm Me?
The effects of mold and airborne mold spores
may cause irritation to some people. Experts
disagree on the level of exposure that may cause
health concerns.
If Mold Is Present, What Will
Winnebago Industries
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present in the motorhome as a result of a
manufacturing defect reported to Winnebago
Industries within the limited warranty period,
Winnebago will clean the affected area(s) and/or
replace affected items as it deems necessary. This
is the extent of coverage provided by Winnebago
Industries. Winnebago Industries, however, will
not assume responsibility for mold deemed to be
a result of a motorhome users lack of timely and
appropriate action to mitigate circumstances
should a problem occur.
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present due to conditions it determines is not a
result of a manufacturing defect found within the
warranty period, Winnebago Industries will not
provide any financial assistance to the repair of
the condition.

SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
ROADSIDE EMERGENCY
Because of the size and weight of this vehicle
and its tires, and the possible complications
involved in tire changing, we strongly advise
obtaining professional road service to change a
flat tire whenever possible. However, if an
emergency requires you to change the tire
yourself, please exercise extreme caution and
read all tire changing information in the chassis
manual.
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack only.
If You Get A Flat Tire
•
DO NOT panic.
•
Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer the
vehicle as straight as possible. Avoid quick
maneuvers. You may need to counter-steer to
compensate for "pull" created by the failed
tire.
•
DO NOT stomp on the brake. This abruptly
shifts the vehicle's weight forward, making it
nose-dive and pull toward the blown-out side.
•
DO NOT jerk your foot off the accelerator.
Just ease back on the accelerator slowly and
gently to continue momentum. The deflated
tire will slow the vehicle.
•
If you must change lanes to get to a safe
stopping place, use your signals to warn other
motorists and change lanes smoothly and
carefully after you are certain the lane is clear.
•
Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering
to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of
the road. Do not worry about damaging the
tire or wheel rim by driving on it. A tire or
wheel replacement is cheaper than damaging
the vehicle or injuring yourself.
•
When you have come to a stop, activate your
hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then
exit the vehicle carefully.
•
Set out flares or other warning devices.
Check your tires for proper inflation before
each trip and at least once a month with an
accurate tire gauge.
