ABOUT THIS MANUAL

The Operator’s Manual for your new camper is designed to answer the most frequently asked questions 

regarding the operation, function, and care of the many systems that make modern camping a 

pleasure. 

For more complete instructions regarding safety, maintenance and operation of the items included in 

your camper, carefully read the booklets supplied by the component manufacturers. All information 

contained in this manual may not relate to your specific model; however, booklets supplied by the 

component manufacturers and included in your Owner’s Packet will provide any additional information 

needed. These manuals and fliers supersede all statements in this manual and are the ultimate guide to 

heed in relation to each appliance and component. You are responsible for reading, understanding and 

following the instructions pertaining to the tow vehicle as well as the instructions in this manual.

All information in this handbook should be considered a permanent part of the trailer and should be 

transferred to the new owners if the trailer is ever sold.

Optional items may be available on some or all models. Additionally, some optional items can only 

be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the trailer. The mention 

of optional items in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application suitability, or 

inclusion for any specific unit.

All operating procedures in this manual are designed as typical under normal conditions. Safe 

operation and use of any nuCamp camper is the sole responsibility of the owner. nuCamp will not be 

liable for any injury or loss sustained from the observance or non-observance of any procedures or 

safety warnings supplied in this manual or in any third-party manuals or guides supplied within the unit. 

This manual may have occasional tips to enhance your experience of the recreational and camping 

lifestyle. While this may be helpful, this manual is not designed as a camping guide but rather as a 

guide in how to operate your camper for maximum enjoyment.

This manual does not in any way create a warranty, whether express or implied. The information in 

this manual is not meant in any way to supplement, modify, or change the terms and conditions of 

your camper’s warranty, or any warranties offered on any component by its manufacturer.

At nuCamp we actively work to provide improved and better information about the use of our 

products. If you have helpful information that you think may benefit fellow nuCamp product owners, 

you may submit it via e-mail to 

customerservice@nucamprv.com

 with a subject of “Owner’s Manual” 

and your submission will be considered for the next update.
