Introduction
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN
Follow a consistent schedule of inspection and
maintenance for your motor home. Your contin-
uing safety and comfort depend on it. This man-
ual includes a section outlining maintenance
intervals. If you follow the maintenance guide-
lines, you will minimize the possibility of fail-
ure of any important system or part of your
motor home.
PLANNING AND PREPARATION
Each year millions of Americans embark on
trips using some type of recreational vehicle.
Proper planning of your trip will ensure a pleas-
urable experience. A thorough knowledge of
your RV is important if you are going to get the
most out of the convenience and safety items
built into your motor home. Be as familiar with
it as you are with your personal car or truck. If
you have trouble or have questions, please con-
sult your dealer.
OWNER'S INFORMATION
PACKAGE
This package contains valuable documents about
your motor home and its equipment and systems.
This Owner's Manual and the Chassis
Operator's Manual are in the package. Since this
manual does not cover every possible detail of
equipment and options installed on or in your
motor home, there are booklets and instructional
material in the package that will help you safely
operate, maintain and troubleshoot those items.
Be sure you read all this information and
understand the safety and operating instructions
included in the package. Additionally, you must
follow all maintenance instructions to insure full
warranty coverage. If you decide to sell or trade
your motor home, be sure the new owner receives
all the material in this package.

CHASSIS AND VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION
Several numbers are used to identify the vehicle
and components used on the vehicle.
The V.I.N. or Vehicle Identification Number is
assigned by the chassis manufacturer and is the
number used for vehicle registration. The Y.I.N.
is found on the Federal Certification Tag attached
in the driver's compartment. Refer to this infor-
mation when ordering parts from the chassis
manufacturer or chassis dealer service center.
The F.I.N. or Fleetwood IdentifICation Number
is located on the tag just outside the main entry
door or on the outside left front side of the motor
home. Use this number when ordering parts
through your Fleetwood dealer or Service Center.
(See page 04-5 for examples of Y.I.N., F.I.N. and
Federal Certification Tag.)
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of this
vehicle was accurately aligned at the factory
before delivery to the dealership. However, after
you have fully loaded the vehicle according to
your personal needs, have the alignment
checked and adjusted, if necessary. To help pre-
vent uneven tire wear, check the front-end align-
ment periodically.
Please note that front-end alignment after
retail delivery is the owner's responsibility and
is not covered under the warranty.
