  • Page 6: Prolonged Occupancy

     Loading and Unloading PROLONGED OCCUPANCY Your truck camper has not been designed for permanent housing or lodging. Using your camper in this manner may lead to deterioration of the structure, interior finishes, fabrics, carpeting and drapes. Damage due to long term use may not be considered normal use and may under the terms of the warranty constitute misuse, abuse or neglect, and may reduce your warranty protection.

    Normal maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. To keep the structural warranty in force, owners are required, at their own expense, to bring their truck camper to their authorized dealer for repair. Failure to provide routine maintenance may void this warranty.
