MONACO COACH CORPORATION
MOTORHOME 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 Coach
Corporation ("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 comes first.
If you use your motorhome for any rental, commercial or business pur-
poses 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 structure of the sidewalls (excluding slide outs),
roof, and rear and front walls for twelve (12) months from the original pur-
chase date or the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever comes first. A conclusive
presumption that your motorhome has been used for commercial and/or busi-
ness 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 Consumer Affairs Department. There is no charge for the transfer.

Sulfation: When a battery remains discharged for too long the accumulated lead sul- fate in the plate material solidifies and cannot reenter the electrolyte. When a battery is left in a discharged state the lead sulphate will crystallize. Charging the battery does not move the crystallized lead sulphate off the battery plate. - Page 218 Electrical Systems - House --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another way of looking at this is to use the analogy of a water pump (a battery is like an electric pump). The pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch) that a pump delivers is like a battery’s voltage. The volume of water in GPM (gallons per minute) is like the electrical current.

Chassis Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AIR DRYER The air dryer is located under the motorhome next to the transmission. The air dryer removes moisture from the compressed air system. This is important because if air contains moisture it can freeze and prevent opera- tion of brakes or other pneumatic operated items. - Page 260 Chassis Information --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Desiccant-Type 1. Warm, humid air from the compressor condenses into either Air Dryer liquid water or water vapor before entering the air dryer. 2. A desiccant-type air dryer protects the motorhome air brake system brake drying moisture-laden air before it passes through the air reservoirs and into the brake system.
