CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO RV OWNERSHIP
Welcome to the growing family of new VENTURE RV owners and the
world of recreational vehicle travel. The purchase of your VENTURE
RV product allows you to enter this type of camping and leisure
travel. Your coach has been designed and engineered to offer many
comforts of home. VENTURE Recreational Vehicles are designed
and constructed to be used as temporary living quarters for camping
and travel uses. The coaches are not intended for hauling cargo.
This owner’s manual was prepared to assist you in understanding the
proper use and operation of various containment systems, servicing
and maintenance of component parts, and explanation of your
warranty protection. If this is your first RV travel coach, you will want
to acquaint yourself with all aspects and information found in this
manual plus manuals supplied by component manufacturers.
These materials will reflect the most current information available for
the user. Some components and items may not be in your coach as
they may be options on different models.
Keep this owner’s manual in your recreational vehicle for handy
reference. Get to know your new vehicle and how it operates. You
should carefully read and understand these instructions, as well as
information supplied by the manufacturers of separately warranted
products, since they contain important operating, safety, and
maintenance instructions. If you have questions that are not
adequately answered by this manual or other booklets, consult your
dealer. If he cannot satisfactorily answer your questions, he will call
our staff for additional information.
Every effort has been made to provide you with a safe, dependable
product. Your vehicle complies with applicable requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, State Regulations,
Canadian Standards Associations (CSA) where applicable, and
complies with requirements of ANSI Standard 1192, the nationally
recognized “Standard for Recreational Vehicles – Installation of
Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Systems.” The Recreational Vehicle
Industry Association (RVIA) and Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) periodically inspect our production lines and assist us in
maintaining strict compliance with installation and safety standards for
those systems. Your follow-up with periodic safety inspections
and a program of preventive maintenance is important for the
continuation of safe and trouble-free operation.
