SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ADDITIONAL TERMINOLOGY USED
There is nothing more essential than the individual safety of you, your family and others. Safety includes
several areas of the RV experience. This includes driving and towing safety, operational safety, occupant
safety, environmental safety, and many more. Any time you are handling parts that contain propane gas,
electricity and other carbon monoxide producing appliances, it is highly important that safety becomes
your number one focus in and around your RV.
[Customer Supplied] This includes items not incorporated or installed by Vanleigh RV. Items recognized
as “customer supplied” are not enclosed by the Limited Base and Structural Warranties. The incorpora-
tion of items listed as “customer supplied” does not entail or advise the avaiability, application sustain-
ability, or inclusion for any specific unit.
[If so equipped] This includes items that may be installed by Vanleigh RV on certain RVs. Although,
some items listed as “if so equipped” can only be incorporated during the manufacturing stage and
cannot be added at another time. The involvement of items listed as “if so equipped” does not imply or
suggest the avaiability, application sustainability, or inclusion for any specific unit.
[Optional] This includes items that may be an option on all or specific models. Therefore, some op-
tional items can only be incorporated during the manufacturing stage and cannot be added at another
time. The incorporation of optional items does not involve or suggest the avaiability, application sus-
tainability or inclusion for any individual unit.

If you believe your vehicle has a deficiency, that might cause an accident, injury or death, we encourage
you to immediately contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Vanleigh RV.
If NHTSA receives simiar concerns, they may open an investigation. If they determine that a safety defi-
ciency lies in other vehicles, a recall and remedy campaign may be called. The NHTSA does not become
associated with individualized cases between you, your dealer, or Vanleigh RV.

DEALER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
When you buy your new RV, at the time of purchase, your dealer is expected to:
1. Deliver your RV in the best condition possible.
Your RV must pass the dealer’s Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). This inspection tests all systems
and components.
2. Provide an orientation, familiarizing you with your new RV and how to operate all systems and com-
ponents.
3. Review with you, and expain the provisions of the Limited Base Warranty and Limited Structural
Warranty.
4. Send your completed Warranty Registration and New Vehicle PDI Check List to Vanleigh RV.
This form is required within 5 days of your delivery date to activate your warranty coverage.
5. Ensure that you receive a complete Owner Information Package. Assist you with all component
manufacturer warranty registrations (ie, locating the model and serial numbers of components
as needed).
6. Expain how to obtain local and out-of-town service for your RV, and its (separately warranted)
components, including repairs NOT under warranty.
7. Service all Vanleigh RV products.
SERVICE & WARRANTY
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
As the owner, you are liable for the periodical care and proper maintenance of your RV. Proper mainte-
nance will help avoid situations where the Limited Base Warranty and Limited Structural Warranty will
not cover items due to improper care. You are required to perform maintenance services in accordance
with this manual and the corresponding manufacturer instructions for the parts included in your RV.
As the owner of your RV, it is your responsibility and liability to return the RV to an authorized dealer
for any warranty repairs and service that may be needed. Your dealer is subject to proper service prior
to delivery and has a continued interest in your fulfillment. Therefore, we suggest warranty and mainte-
nance services be performed by your local Vanleigh RV dealer.
With your other personal belongings, it is crucial to secure yourself and others with insurance coverage.
Your insurance agent can aid you in receiving the appropriate insurance coverage for personal liability
collision, property damage, theft, liability, etc.
SERVICE & WARRANTY
PINECREST OWNER’S MANUAL
To help your dealer provide you the best level of service, please do the following:
Call Ahead
It is best to have your service performed several weeks before you pan to use your RV. Your dealer may need some
time to get you in their schedule. Most service departments are busiest on Mondays, Fridays and before holidays.
Be Prepared
Keep your warranty and service history paperwork avaiable. Past repairs and maintenance records may help the
service technician diagnose a current issue.
Make a List
Provide the dealer a prioritized list of all repairs needed. If you need your RV returned by a specific date, discuss this
with the dealer’s service management. A second appointment may be required to complete lower priority list items
or if parts need to be ordered.
While Waiting
If possible, drop off your RV. Usually, customers cannot watch as repair work is performed. Insurance companies may
even require that customers not be allowed in the service area.
Inspect the Work Performed
Inspect all repairs thoroughly. Notify the dealer’s service manager of any dissatisfaction right away.
• If you cannot immediately return your RV for repair, make an appointment to return as soon as possible.
• If a problem re-occurs after leaving the dealership, contact the dealer’s service manager and Vanleigh RV Cus-
tomer Support to quickly resolve the issue.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
Warranty service must be obtained:
• WITHIN a reasonable time after the discovery of a defect, and
• BEFORE the applicable warranty period expires.
