Introduction
warranties beyond that offered through the Limited Base and
Structural Warranties. Some components are excluded from
the Limited Base and Structural Warranties, and are warrant-
ed separately and exclusively by the individual component
manufacturer. Activation of each component warranty is criti-
cal, and it is important you register within the prescribed time
limits to avoid loss of warranty coverage.
This manual and the Owner’s Information Package should be
considered a permanent part of the RV. If the RV is sold, they
should remain with the RV for the next owner.
MANUFACTURING CERTIFICATION
Grand Design RV is subject to frequent and random audits to
ensure our RVs are constructed to the thorough safety and
manufacturing codes, standards and regulations established
by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), and
Transport Canada.
Either an RVIA or CSA Group (formerly the Canadian Stan-
dards Association or CSA) label is affixed to the sidewall next
to the entry door to confirm your RV has been constructed
to these exacting codes and standards. RV’s built for sale in
Canada may differ to conform to Canadian codes.
THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The unique 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) for
your RV is listed on the Federal Certification label, and is
stamped on a permanently affixed metal tag attached to the
RV A-frame. A breakdown of a typical Grand Design RV VIN
is shown in the example below:
