brakes, driving a motor home is different from
driving a car. A motor home is larger and heavier
than an automobile, so it requires more stopping
and passing distance, and more parking and ma-
neuvering space than does a car.
Always be aware of the size of your motor
home. The added height of roof air conditioners,
TV antennas or luggage boxes may cause clear-
ance problems around some tunnels, canopies
and hanging signs. Know the height of your unit
so you can observe posted clearance limits. Also,
remember that some bridges, old ones in particu-
lar, may not support the weight of your motor
home. Know the weight of your unit and observe
any posted weight limits.
Remember: Always use your seat belt and be
sure your passengers do so as well. We also ad-
vise making frequent rest stops while traveling to
relieve stress on yourself, your passengers and
your vehicle.
SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE
Your dealer will be glad to provide any addi-
tional information you need, as well as answer
any questions you might have about operating the
equipment in your motor home. When it comes to
service, remember that your dealer knows your
vehicle best and is interested in your satisfaction.
Your dealer will provide quality maintenance and
any other assistance that you may require during
your ownership of this vehicle.
If you need warranty repairs while traveling
you may take your motor home to any authorized
Winnebago or Itasca dealership and request their
assistance.
See the dealership directory in your Owner
InfoCase.
WARRANTY
Your new vehicle is covered by a factory
warranty against defects in material and work-
manship. This warranty should be validated im-
mediately and returned to the factory by your
dealer. For additional information, see your
“New Vehicle Limited Warranty” included at the
front of this manual.
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause injury
or death, you should immediately inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying Winnebago
Industries, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may
order a recall and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or Winneba-
go Industries.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393
(or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write
to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation,
Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain
other information about motor vehicle safety
from the Hotline.
