General Information
Periodic maintenance and cleaning of your motorhome is
necessary to retain the dependability, safety, and appearance
that will provide you with many years of satised ownership,
as well as protecting your investment.
Make sure you read and follow all the maintenance tips
and schedules that appear not only in this manual, but also
in the manuals provided by the chassis manufacturer and
various component manufacturers. Keep good records of
performed maintenance, inspections, and service. Make
sure to perform all owner obligations as may be required to
retain your coverages under warranty.
It is also important to note that operating conditions will
aect service timetables. Driving in extreme conditions
such as heavy dust, continuous short trips, or start and stop
heavy trac means that service durations will be shortened.
Discuss service timetables with both your dealer and chas-
sis service representative. Preventative maintenance will
pay for itself many times over by catching or preventing
problems before they occur. Oen, repair costs are greatly
increased due to a small problem le unattended, can begin
to aect other parts and systems of the motorhome.
If there are cleaning or maintenance or procedures for
which you are unsure of performing, please contact your
dealer or chassis service representative for recommended
instructions.
NOTE:
• TMC's Limited Warranties require certain own-
er obligations. Please review the TMC Warranty
Guide included in your Owner's Packet or available

ing periodic maintenance service are not covered

Chassis
For information regarding proper maintenance and other
important chassis details, refer to the Chassis Packet infor-
mation. You, as the owner, are responsible for taking proper
precautions when attempting any repair or maintenance
for your motorhome. If you are not sure what action to
take, or are uncomfortable with performing a maintenance
or repair function, contact your selling dealer, or a desig-
nated chassis manufacturer's service center for assistance.
Contact your chassis manufacturer for information on
locating a service center near you.
NOTE: Direct all issues regarding the chassis war-
ranty, parts and service to the chassis manufacturer.
Follow the recommendations outlined in the chassis
manufacturer's information packet to ensure proper
engine performance and fuel economy.
