WARRANTY - LIMITED: DYNASTY 2006
MONACO 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 (“Warrantor”) covers your new motorhome when sold by an authorized dealer,
for twelve (12) months from the original retail purchase date or the fi rst 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs
rst. 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 fi rst 50,000 miles of use, whichever occurs fi rst.
If you use your motorhome for any rental, commercial or business purposes 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 fi rst 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs fi rst. 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 retail purchase date or the fi rst
24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs fi rst. A conclusive presumption that your motorhome has been used for
commercial and/or business purposes arises if you have fi led a federal or state tax form claiming any business tax
benefi t 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 fi ling the form through an authorized
Monaco dealer. A subsequent owners 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 Customer Relations Department. There is no charge for the transfer.
Limitations of Implied Warranties
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARISING BY WAY OF STATE LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
AND ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THOSE PORTIONS OF THE MOTORHOME
COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. Warrantor disclaims all implied and express warranties,
including the implied warranty of merchantability and the implied warranty of fi tness for a particular purpose,
on components and appliances excluded from coverage as set forth below. There is no warranty of any nature
made by Warrantor beyond that contained in this Limited Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend
or modify this Limited Warranty. The dealer is not the Warrantors agent but is an independent entity. Warrantor
is not responsible for any undertaking, representation or warranty made by any dealer or other person beyond
those expressly set forth in this Limited Warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
