latest technology to provide you with many years of
trouble-free service with a minimum amount of
maintenance. This section will familiarize you with the
areas of your motor home that require scheduled care.

on a regular basis will pay for itself in extended ser-
vice and will protect your investment. If you are
mechanically inclined and regularly perform routine
maintenance and repairs on your car or truck, you may
want to do the mechanical work on your motor home.
If you prefer, your dealer can perform these services
for you. His trained personnel will assure that your
motor home is maintained and repaired in keeping with
original performance expectations.

described and maintenance and inspection procedures
are given. In addition to providing information for pro-
per maintenance of the motor home, some inspection

CHASSIS AND VEHICLE IDENT/FICA TION
Your motor home is built on the Chevrolet P-Series
truck chassis. Several numbers are used to identify
the vehicle and components used on the vehicle. The

legal identification of the completed vehicle and is the
number on the vehicle registration. The V.I.N. is found
on the DOT certification tag attached to the left
sidewall of the motor home driver compartment. Refer
to this information when ordering parts from the
chassis manufacturer or chassis dealer service center.
The 12-digit Fleetwood Identification Number (F.I.N.)
is located on the plate just outside the main entry door
and on the outside left front side of the motor home.
Use this number when ordering parts through your
Fleetwood dealer or ,Service Center.
