SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING SERVICE
To ensure satisfactory service from your dealer, consider the following
suggestions:
- Contact Your Dealer Early: Don’t wait until you’re ready to use your RV. Dealers may have limited immediate availability, especially on busy days like Mondays, Fridays, and before holidays.
- Prepare for the Appointment: Bring necessary paperwork, including your warranty guide and vehicle information. Understand that not all work may be covered by warranty, so discuss potential charges with service personnel.
- Make a List: Provide a written list of needed repairs to your dealer. Share any vehicle repair history and maintain a maintenance log, as this can help diagnose current issues.
- Be Realistic: If leaving a list with multiple items, discuss priorities and time constraints with service personnel. Consider scheduling additional appointments for unfinished work or parts needing ordering.
- Respect Service Boundaries: Understand that watching service may not be possible due to insurance restrictions.
- Inspect Completed Work: Upon vehicle pickup, inspect the service or repair job. Notify service personnel immediately of any issues. If immediate return for repair isn’t possible, schedule an appointment promptly. Familiarize yourself with the repair shop’s policies regarding notification of issues with repairs.
OBTAINING SERVICE AT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE FACILITY
If your recreational vehicle requires service and your dealer recommends
repairs at our Customer Service facility, the selling dealership will
facilitate all appointments and communication.
OBTAINING SERVICE FOR SEPARATELY WARRANTIED ITEMS
Your selling dealer is responsible for servicing your recreational vehicle
before delivery, and they are invested in your ongoing satisfaction. We
recommend having your dealer perform all inspections, warranty, and
maintenance services. Additionally, some dealers may serve as authorized
service centers for products with separate warranties, which are excluded from
the Limited Warranty.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
For replacement parts or accessories, please contact your authorized dealer
for assistance. We do not directly sell to retail or non-authorized dealers.
If the original part is unavailable, we will make every effort to offer a
suitable substitute.
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
In the United States: If you suspect a defect in your recreational vehicle
that could lead to a crash, injury, or death, promptly notify both the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and our Customer
Service Department. NHTSA may investigate and order recalls for safety defects
found in groups of vehicles.
Please note that NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer or your vehicle manufacturer. For additional information,
please refer to the NHTSA website at
www.safercar.gov.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
It’s crucial to thoroughly read and understand all instructions and
precautions before operating your recreational vehicle, regardless of your
experience level. We recommend familiarizing yourself with both the Owner’s
Manual and the information in your Warranty Guide.
As technology evolves, new improvements are constantly introduced to the RV
industry, with each manufacturer employing its own unique manufacturing
process.
Understand the Limited Warranty applicable to your recreational vehicle. Some
components may be excluded or warranted separately by their individual
manufacturer’s limited warranty (refer to the Warranty Packet).
As the new owner, you’re responsible for regular and proper maintenance as
outlined in this guide and the OEM manuals.
Consistent maintenance helps prevent issues arising from neglect, which may
not be covered by the limited warranty. It’s your obligation to return your
vehicle to your dealer for repairs and service.
Change of Ownership
Federal record-keeping laws mandate maintaining owner files for our products.
Please use the QR code to fill out your online registration form for new
owners or for a change of ownership. Your cooperation in completing this form
is greatly appreciated.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM (DRP-RV)
While we aim for customer satisfaction and encourage you to reach out to our
Customer Service Department for any queries or concerns, we understand that
disputes may arise regarding warranty obligations.
If you believe we have not met our warranty obligations, you may be eligible
for a no-cost, voluntary, and independent Dispute Resolution Program (DRP-RV).

2025 HIGHLAND RIDGE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED
This Limited Warranty covers only RVs sold in, and that remain in, the United
States, U.S. Territories, and Canada, and used for the intended purpose of
recreational travel and camping. If a substantial defect in material or
workmanship, attributable to Highland Ridge is found to exist and is reported
to Highland Ridge or an authorized servicing dealer during the applicable
warranty period, it will be repaired or replaced, at Highland Ridge’s option,
without charge to the RV owner, in accordance with the terms, conditions and
limitations of this limited warranty. This limited warranty applies to the
first consumer purchaser of a new RV only. All rights and limitations within
this warranty are applicable to the original owner of the RV only. You may
contact an independent, authorized dealer for details.
This Limited Warranty provides the sole remedy, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, for any defect in the RV that does not result in bodily injury or damage to property other than the RV. If any term or condition in this Limited Warranty conflicts with your state’s Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), as interpreted by courts within your state, the provisions in your state’s UCC are varied as allowed for by UCC 1-302. UCC 1-302 provides that common law contract actions are displaced (preempted) if the UCC provides a cause of action or remedy. After you have accepted the goods (the RV), the UCC provides that the remedy available is exclusively an action for breach of warranty.
LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT IS FOUND TO ARISE BY WAY OF STATE OR FEDERAL LAW,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
FITNESS, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND IS LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THE SCOPE OF COVERAGE OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY, AND IS FURTHER LIMITED TO DEFECTS EXISTING AT THE TIME OF
SALE THAT MANIFESTED THEMSELVES AND SURFACED DURING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
COVERAGE PERIOD. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, ARE DISCLAIMED IN THEIR ENTIRETY AS TO RVs OR COMPONENTS OF RVs
EXCLUDED OR NOT COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
Highland Ridge makes no warranty of any nature beyond that contained in this
limited warranty. Highland Ridge does not authorize any person to create any
other obligation or liability for it regarding this RV, and Highland Ridge is
not responsible for any representation, promise or warranty made by any dealer
or other person beyond what is expressly stated in this limited warranty, and
no one has the authority to enlarge, amend or modify this limited warranty.
Any selling or servicing dealer is not Highland Ridge’s agent, but an
independent entity.
ANY DETERMINATION THAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY HAS FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE
The duration of the Limited Warranty is 1 year. The warranty period begins on
the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser by an
independent, authorized dealer of Highland Ridge, or, if the dealer places the
vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in
such service.
The term of this Limited Warranty is 3 years for substantial defects to any
“Structure Components”. Structure Components means materials and/or
workmanship directly attributable to Highland Ridge relating to the lamination
of the fiberglass sidewall assembly, the lamination of the rear wall assembly,
the lamination of the fiberglass front wall (wrap) assembly, sidewall/end
wall/front and rear wall frame assembly (wood and aluminum), roof frame
assembly (wood and aluminum), and floor frame assembly (wood and aluminum).
Structure Components specifically excludes front and rear fiberglass caps and
any other cosmetic fiberglass attachments, sidewall metal (unless the root
cause is the wall structure); exterior roof material (EPDM rubber, TPO, etc.);
floor covering (carpet, linoleum, hardwood tile, etc.); all sidewall, end
wall, front and rear wall, roof and floor attachments, and delamination caused
by water intrusion from lack of required exterior seal maintenance or other
maintenance. Structure Components further excludes all items identified under
“What is Not Covered” below
Highland Ridge reserves the right to have new or remanufactured parts of
similar quality used to complete any work, and to make parts and design
changes from time to time without notice to anyone. Highland Ridge reserves
the right to make changes in the design or material of its products without
incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously
manufactured. Highland Ridge makes no warranty as to the future performance of
this RV, and this limited warranty is not intended to extend to the future
performance of this RV, or any of its materials, components or parts. In
addition, the RV owner’s obligation to notify Highland Ridge, or one of its
independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not modify any
obligation placed on the RV owner to contact Highland Ridge directly when
attempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.
HOW TO GET SERVICE
It is normal to expect some warranty service during the term of this Limited
Warranty. To obtain warranty service the owner must do all of the following:
- Notify an independent, authorized dealer of Highland Ridge, or Highland Ridge, of the substantial defect in material or workmanship attributable to Highland Ridge, within the warranty coverage period designated above;
- Provide the notification mentioned in (1), above, within ten (10) days of when the owner discovered, or should have discovered, the substantial defect in material or workmanship attributable to Highland Ridge;
- Promptly schedule an appointment with and take the RV to an independent, authorized dealer of Highland Ridge, or Highland Ridge, for repairs; and
- Pay any freight or transportation costs, import duties, fees and all incidental expenses associated with obtaining warranty service.
If you need assistance you may contact Highland Ridge RV at 903 S. Main
Street, P.O. Box 460, Middlebury, Indiana 46540, Attn: Customer Service,
800-283-8267.
NOTE: Highland Ridge does not control the scheduling of service work at
the independent, authorized dealerships. You may encounter some delay in
scheduling or completion of work. Also, you must notify the selling dealer at
time of delivery to have work performed on any defect that occurred at the
factory during manufacture at no cost to you as provided by this limited
warranty. (See below under WHAT IS NOT COVERED).
If two (2) or more service attempts have been made to correct any covered
defect that you believe impairs the value, use or safety of the RV, or if it
has taken longer than thirty (30) days for those types of repairs to be
completed, you must, to the extent permitted by law, notify Highland Ridge
directly, in writing, at the above address, of the unsuccessful repair(s) of
the alleged defect(s) so that Highland Ridge can become directly involved in
making sure that you are provided service pursuant to the terms of this
limited warranty.
REPAIR REMEDY: Highland Ridge’s sole and exclusive obligation under this Limited Warranty is to address, within industry standards, any covered substantial defect discovered within the warranty coverage period provided: (1) you notify Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer within 10 days of your discovery of the substantial defect; AND (2) you deliver the RV to Highland Ridge or an authorized dealership at your cost and expense; AND (3) you identify the specific defect with the RV to Highland Ridge or its authorized dealer as reflected in the work authorization or repair order associated with the service visit.
Due to the seasonal nature of recreational vehicle use, your RV may be stored at Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer, at no cost to you, for an extended period of time before or after any warranty repairs are performed. Unless warranty repairs are actively being performed on your RV, your RV is available for use even while it is stored at Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer—such storage time is not considered time that your RV is out of service and unavailable to use. Should you desire to use your RV while it is being stored at Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer awaiting warranty repairs, please contact Highland Ridge at 800-283-8267. Similarly, should you encounter any difficulty with a dealer in getting repairs under this Limited Warranty or in getting your RV back from a dealer, please contact Highland Ridge at 800-283-8267.
BACK-UP REMEDY: If the primary repair remedy fails to successfully cure
any substantial defect after a reasonable number of repair attempts, your sole
and exclusive remedy shall be to have Highland Ridge pay an independent
service shop of your choice to perform repairs to the substantial defect. If
the substantial defect is incapable of being repaired, your exclusive remedy
will be to pay diminished value damages (i.e. the difference in your purchase
price and the actual value of the RV on the date of purchase due to the
substantial defect which is incapable of repair). You must exhaust the primary
repair remedy and this back-up remedy and both these remedies must fail of
their essential purpose before initiating any action against Highland Ridge.
You agree to provide notice to Jayco of the independent service shop you
select to perform the repairs to the defect within 14 days of requesting
performance of the repairs. You also agree to exercise good faith in seeking
to exhaust the back-up remedy. If the independent service shop you ask to
perform the back-up remedy is unwilling to perform the repairs, you agree to
have the Jayco service center in Indiana perform the back-up remedy.
If diminished value damages are sought by you, both you and Jayco (or the
person providing the diminished value opinion) MUST, with specificity,
disclose to the judge or jury how the diminished value figure was arrived at
so the accuracy can be verified through replication. If the diminished value
figure cannot be verified through replication, you and Jayco agree that any
such diminished value opinion will not be used to determine the remedy for
breach of warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
By way of example only, this limited warranty does not cover any of the
following:
- defects in materials, components or parts of the structure of the RV not attributable to Highland Ridge;
- items that are added or changed after the RV leaves the possession of Highland Ridge;
- additional equipment or accessories installed at any dealership, or other place of business, or by any other party, other than Highland Ridge;
- any RV used for rental or other business or commercial purposes ( Note: It shall be concluded that the RV has been used for commercial and/or business purposes if the RV owner or user files a tax form claiming any business or commercial tax benefit related to the RV, or if the RV is purchased, registered or titled in the name of any business association such as a corporation or limited liability company);
- any RV sold or used outside the United States, U.S. Territories or Canada;

- damage due to accident, whether or not foreseeable, including any acts of weather;
- damage, rust or corrosion due to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire, or other intervening acts not attributable to Highland Ridge;
- damage caused by unregulated water pressure, tank over fill, or plumbing system modifications resulting in flooding of the vehicle;
- failure of the original retail purchaser or others to follow ordinary maintenance procedures as recommended by Highland Ridge or the manufacturer of the Structural Component service items such as, lubricants, fluids, filters, etc.;
- damage caused by unprotected electrical hook-ups (home or campground), power surges, lightning, circuit overload, or electrical system modifications;
- damage resulting from tire wear or tire failure;
- hydraulic leveling jacks or leveling system;
- defacing, scratches, dents, chips on any surface or fabric of the RV;
- damage caused by infestation by insects or other animals;
- damage caused by off road use, overloading the RV or alteration of the RV, or any of its components or parts; wheel alignment or adjustments to axles when caused by improper maintenance, loading or damage from road hazards, including off road travel, wheel damage or balancing or damage from tire failures.
- any costs associated with obtaining service, including by way of example, travel costs, are specifically excluded from the coverage of this warranty;
- any RV used as a residence; and
- any component, system or part warranted by another entity. Including any handling, braking, wheel balance, muffler, tires, tubes, batteries, gauges, generator, awning, hydraulic jacks, inverter, converter, microwave, television, DVD/CD player, radio, speakers, refrigerator, television, range, water heater, water pump, stove, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, propane detector, furnace, or any air conditioner. The written warranty of any component part manufacturer is the direct responsibility of that manufacturer. Defects and/or damage to interior and exterior surfaces, trim, upholstery and other appearance items may occur at the factory. These items are usually detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer prior to delivery to the retail customer. You must inspect your RV for this type of damage when you take delivery. If you find any such defect or damage you must notify the selling dealer at time of delivery to have these items covered by this limited warranty and to have work performed on the items at no cost to you as provided by this limited warranty.
EVENTS DISCHARGING HIGHLAND RIDGE FROM OBLIGATION UNDER WARRANTY
Certain things completely discharge Highland Ridge from any obligation
under this warranty and void it. By way of example, the following shall
discharge Highland Ridge from any express or implied warranty obligation to
repair or replace any defect that results from: any rental or other business
or commercial use or purchase of the RV (as defined in this warranty), any RV
titled or registered in the name of any business association (such as a
corporation or limited liability company), any RV sold outside of, or used
outside of, the United States, U.S. Territories or Canada, through an auction
or wholesale or by a non-authorized dealer, any defect in a separately
manufactured component part, owner neglect or failure to provide routine
maintenance (See Owner’s Manual), unauthorized alteration, off road use,
collision or accident, whether or not foreseeable, including any acts of
weather or damage or corrosion due to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire,
explosions, overloading in excess of weight ratings, and tampering with any
portion of the RV.
LEGAL REMEDIES
ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY PORTION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, OR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY, SHALL BE COMMENCED WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY
COVERAGE PERIOD DESIGNATED ABOVE (i.e. an action must be brought within 1 year
and 90 days of purchase except for claims related solely to Structure
Components which must be filed within 3 years and 90 days of purchase). Any
performance of repairs shall not suspend this limitation period from expiring
unless state law provides otherwise. Any performance of repairs after the
warranty coverage period has expired, or performance of repairs regarding
anything excluded from coverage under this limited warranty shall be
considered “good will” repairs, and they will not alter the express terms of
this limited warranty, or extend the warranty coverage period or this
limitation period. Highland Ridge is not required to notify you if authorized
repairs are considered “good will” by Highland Ridge.
In addition, this warranty is not intended to extend to future performance,
and nothing in this warranty, or any action of Highland Ridge, or any agent of
Highland Ridge, shall be interpreted as an extension of the warranty period or
this limitation period. Some states do not allow a reduction in the statute of
limitations, so this reduction may not apply to you.
WARRANTY REGISTRATIONS
Your warranty registration records should be completed and delivered to the
manufacturers of component parts. The selling dealership will assist you in
completing and submitting the Highland Ridge product warranty registration
form. That form must be returned to Highland Ridge within ten (10) days of
your taking delivery of the RV. Your warranty will not be registered unless
this warranty registration is completed and received by Highland Ridge.
Failure to file this warranty registration with Highland Ridge will not affect
your rights under this limited warranty as long as you can present proof of
purchase, but it can cause delays in obtaining the benefits of this limited
warranty, and it may inhibit any servicing facility’s ability to provide
proper repairs and/or part replacement. Note, tender and acceptance of a
warranty registration does not alter the express terms of this limited
warranty or any of its exclusions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is the owner’s responsibility to perform proper care and maintenance of the
RV, and to assure correct load distribution. For details regarding this,
please see your RV owner’s manual and the owner’s manuals of other component
part manufacturers. These outline various care and maintenance that is
required to maintain your RV. Please review all manuals supplied with your RV,
and contact your selling dealership or supplier of the component part if you
have questions. Note: Failure to maintain the RV as noted in those manuals
voids this limited warranty, and any damage to the RV as a result of your
failure to perform such care, is not covered by this limited warranty.
Damage to interior or exterior surfaces, trims, upholstery and other
appearance items may occur at the factory during assembly, during delivery of
the RV to the selling dealer or on the selling dealer’s lot. Normally, any
damage is detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer
during the inspection process.
ACCEPTANCE OF WARRANTY
When you request or accept the performance of warranty repairs under the terms
of this Limited Warranty, you are confirming the acceptance all terms of this
Limited Warranty, including, by way of example, warranty limitations and
disclaimers, the forum selection clause and the clause reducing the time
period within which suit must be filed for breach.
LEGAL REMEDIES
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR DECIDING LEGAL DISPUTES RELATING TO AN ALLEGED
BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO YOUR PURCHASE OR OWNERSHIPOF THE
RV MUST BE FILED IN THE COURTS WITHIN THE STATE OF MANUFACTURE, WHICH IS
INDIANA. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY STATE
LAW, ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR STATUTE,
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA, INCLUDING ITS STATUTE
OF LIMITATIONS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULE THAT WOULD
RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR PROVINCE TO PROVINCE. ALL ACTIONS OF
ANY KIND RELATING TO THE RV SHALL BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE RATHER THAN BY A JURY.
The jury waiver and choice of law clause, as well as limitations and
disclaimers of warranties, may not apply to you if applicable state or
provincial law prohibits a waiver of a jury trial or enforcement of a choice
of law clause resulting in a waiver of a non-waivable statutory cause of
action.

intended purpose of recreational travel and camping. If a substantial defect
in material or workmanship, attributable to Highland Ridge is found to exist
and is reported to Highland Ridge or an authorized servicing dealer during the

interpreted by courts within your state, the provisions in your state’s UCC
are varied as allowed for by UCC 1-302. UCC 1-302 provides that common law
contract actions are displaced (preempted) if the UCC provides a cause of
action or remedy. After you have accepted the goods (the RV), the UCC provides
that the remedy available is exclusively an action for breach of warranty.

THAT MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY.
BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDE FUEL AND TRANSPORTATION
EXPENSES TO DELIVER THE RV TO A SERVICING DEALER, HOTEL ROOMS, LOST WAGES AND
MOISTURE DAMAGE SUCH AS MOLD AND MILDEW AS WELL AS RUST AND CORROSION.THIS
EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE INDEPENDENT OF ANY
FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY WARRANTY, AND THIS EXCLUSION SHALL
SURVIVE ANY DETERMINATION THAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
HAS FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE
The duration of the Limited Warranty is 1 year. The warranty period begins on
the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser by an
independent, authorized dealer of Highland Ridge, or, if the dealer places the
vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in
such service.
The term of this Limited Warranty is 3 years for substantial defects to any
“Structure Components”. Structure Components means materials and/or
workmanship directly attributable to Highland Ridge relating to the lamination
of the fiberglass sidewall assembly, the lamination of the rear wall assembly,
the lamination of the fiberglass front wall (wrap) assembly, sidewall/end
wall/front and rear wall frame assembly (wood and aluminum), roof frame
assembly (wood and aluminum), and floor frame assembly (wood and aluminum).
Structure Components specifically excludes front and rear fiberglass caps and
any other cosmetic fiberglass attachments, sidewall metal (unless the root
cause is the wall structure); exterior roof material (EPDM rubber, TPO, etc.);
floor covering (carpet, linoleum, hardwood tile, etc.); all sidewall, end
wall, front and rear wall, roof and floor attachments, and delamination caused
by water intrusion from lack of required exterior seal maintenance or other
maintenance. Structure Components further excludes all items identified under
“What is Not Covered” below
Highland Ridge reserves the right to have new or remanufactured parts of
similar quality used to complete any work, and to make parts and design
changes from time to time without notice to anyone. Highland Ridge reserves
the right to make changes in the design or material of its products without
incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes in any product previously
manufactured. Highland Ridge makes no warranty as to the future performance of
this RV, and this limited warranty is not intended to extend to the future
performance of this RV, or any of its materials, components or parts. In
addition, the RV owner’s obligation to notify Highland Ridge, or one of its
independent, authorized dealers, of a claimed defect does not modify any
obligation placed on the RV owner to contact Highland Ridge directly when
attempting to pursue remedies under state or federal law.
HOW TO GET SERVICE
It is normal to expect some warranty service during the term of this Limited
Warranty. To obtain warranty service the owner must do all of the following:
- Notify an independent, authorized dealer of Highland Ridge, or Highland Ridge, of the substantial defect in material or workmanship attributable to Highland Ridge, within the warranty coverage period designated above;
- Provide the notification mentioned in (1), above, within ten (10) days of when the owner discovered, or should have discovered, the substantial defect in material or workmanship attributable to Highland Ridge;
- Promptly schedule an appointment with and take the RV to an independent, authorized dealer of Highland Ridge, or Highland Ridge, for repairs; and
- Pay any freight or transportation costs, import duties, fees and all incidental expenses associated with obtaining warranty service.
If you need assistance you may contact Highland Ridge RV at 903 S. Main
Street, P.O. Box 460, Middlebury, Indiana 46540, Attn: Customer Service,
800-283-8267.
NOTE: Highland Ridge does not control the scheduling of service work at
the independent, authorized dealerships. You may encounter some delay in
scheduling or completion of work. Also, you must notify the selling dealer at
time of delivery to have work performed on any defect that occurred at the
factory during manufacture at no cost to you as provided by this limited
warranty. (See below under WHAT IS NOT COVERED).
If two (2) or more service attempts have been made to correct any covered
defect that you believe impairs the value, use or safety of the RV, or if it
has taken longer than thirty (30) days for those types of repairs to be
completed, you must, to the extent permitted by law, notify Highland Ridge
directly, in writing, at the above address, of the unsuccessful repair(s) of
the alleged defect(s) so that Highland Ridge can become directly involved in
making sure that you are provided service pursuant to the terms of this
limited warranty.
REPAIR REMEDY: Highland Ridge’s sole and exclusive obligation under this
Limited Warranty is to address, within industry standards, any covered
substantial defect discovered within the warranty coverage period provided:
(1) you notify Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer within 10 days of your
discovery of the substantial defect; AND (2) you deliver the RV to Highland
Ridge or an authorized dealership at your cost and expense; AND (3) you
identify the specific defect with the RV to Highland Ridge or its authorized
dealer as reflected in the work authorization or repair order associated with
the service visit.
Due to the seasonal nature of recreational vehicle use, your RV may be stored
at Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer, at no cost to you, for an extended
period of time before or after any warranty repairs are performed. Unless
warranty repairs are actively being performed on your RV, your RV is available
for use even while it is stored at Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer—such
storage time is not considered time that your RV is out of service and
unavailable to use. Should you desire to use your RV while it is being stored
at Highland Ridge or an authorized dealer awaiting warranty repairs, please
contact Highland Ridge at 800-283-8267.
Similarly, should you encounter any difficulty with a dealer in getting
repairs under this Limited Warranty or in getting your RV back from a dealer,
please contact Highland Ridge at
800-283-8267.
BACK-UP REMEDY: If the primary repair remedy fails to successfully cure
any substantial defect after a reasonable number of repair attempts, your sole
and exclusive remedy shall be to have Highland Ridge pay an independent
service shop of your choice to perform repairs to the substantial defect. If
the substantial defect is incapable of being repaired, your exclusive remedy
will be to pay diminished value damages (i.e. the difference in your purchase
price and the actual value of the RV on the date of purchase due to the
substantial defect which is incapable of repair). You must exhaust the primary
repair remedy and this back-up remedy and both these remedies must fail of
their essential purpose before initiating any action against Highland Ridge.
You agree to provide notice to Highland Ridge of the independent service shop
you select to perform the repairs to the defect within 14 days of requesting
performance of the repairs. You also agree to exercise good faith in seeking
to exhaust the back-up remedy. If the independent service shop you ask to
perform the backup remedy is unwilling to perform the repairs, you agree to
have the Highland Ridge service center in Indiana perform the back-up remedy.
If diminished value damages are sought by you, both you and Highland Ridge (or
the person providing the diminished value opinion) MUST, with specificity,
disclose to the judge or jury how the diminished value figure was arrived at
so the accuracy can be verified through replication. If the diminished value
figure cannot be verified through replication, you and Highland Ridge agree
that any such diminished value opinion will not be used to determine the
remedy for breach of warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
By way of example only, this limited warranty does not cover any of the
following:
- defects in materials, components or parts of the structure of the RV not attributable to Highland Ridge;
- items that are added or changed after the RV leaves the possession of Highland Ridge;
- additional equipment or accessories installed at any dealership, or other place of business, or by any other party, other than Highland Ridge;
- any RV used for rental or other business or commercial purposes (Note: It shall be concluded that the RV has been used for commercial and/or business purposes if the RV owner or user files a tax form claiming any business or commercial tax benefit related to the RV, or if the RV is purchased, registered or titled in the name of any business association such as a corporation or limited liability company);

- damage due to accident, whether or not foreseeable, including any acts of weather;
- damage, rust or corrosion due to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire, or other intervening acts not attributable to Highland Ridge;

- hydraulic leveling jacks or leveling system;
- defacing, scratches, dents, chips on any surface or fabric of the RV;
- damage caused by infestation by insects or other animals;
- damage caused by off road use, overloading the RV or alteration of the RV, or any of its components or parts; wheel alignment or adjustments to axles when caused by improper maintenance, loading or damage from road hazards, including off road travel, wheel damage or balancing or damage from tire failures.
- any costs associated with obtaining service, including by way of example, travel costs, are specifically excluded from the coverage of this warranty;
- any component, system or part warranted by another entity. Including any handling, braking, wheel balance, muffler, tires, tubes, batteries, gauges, generator, awning, hydraulic jacks, inverter, converter, microwave, television, DVD/CD player, radio, speakers, refrigerator, television, range, water heater, water pump, stove, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, propane detector, furnace, or any air conditioner. The written warranty of any component part manufacturer is the direct responsibility of that manufacturer. Defects and/or damage to interior and exterior surfaces, trim, upholstery and other appearance items may occur at the factory. These items are usually detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer prior to delivery to the retail customer. You must inspect your RV for this type of damage when you take delivery. If you find any such defect or damage you must notify the selling dealer at time of delivery to have these items covered by this limited warranty and to have work performed on the items at no cost to you as provided by this limited warranty.
EVENTS DISCHARGING HIGHLAND RIDGE FROM OBLIGATION UNDER WARRANTY
Certain things completely discharge Highland Ridge from any obligation
under this warranty and void it. By way of example, the following shall
discharge Highland Ridge from any express or implied warranty obligation to
repair or replace any defect that results from: any rental or other business
or commercial use or purchase of the RV (as defined in this warranty), any RV
titled or registered in the name of any business association (such as a
corporation or limited liability company), any RV sold outside of, or used
outside of, the United States, U.S. Territories or Canada, through an auction
or wholesale or by a non-authorized dealer, any defect in a separately
manufactured component part, owner neglect or failure to provide routine
maintenance (See Owner’s Manual), unauthorized alteration, off road use,
collision or accident, whether or not foreseeable, including any acts of
weather or damage or corrosion due to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire,
explosions, overloading in excess of weight ratings, and tampering with any
portion of the RV.
LEGAL REMEDIES
ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY PORTION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, OR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY, SHALL BE COMMENCED WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY
COVERAGE PERIOD DESIGNATED ABOVE (i.e. an action must be brought within 1 year
and 90 days of purchase except for claims related solely to Structure
Components which must be filed within 3 years and 90 days of purchase). Any
performance of repairs shall not suspend this limitation period from expiring
unless state law provides otherwise. Any performance of repairs after the
warranty coverage period has expired, or performance of repairs regarding
anything excluded from coverage under this limited warranty shall be
considered “good will” repairs, and they will not alter the express terms of
this limited warranty, or extend the warranty coverage period or this
limitation period. Highland Ridge is not required to notify you if authorized
repairs are considered “good will” by Highland Ridge.
In addition, this warranty is not intended to extend to future performance,
and nothing in this warranty, or any action of Highland Ridge, or any agent of
Highland Ridge, shall be interpreted as an extension of the warranty period or
this limitation period. Some states do not allow a reduction in the statute of
limitations, so this reduction may not apply to you.
WARRANTY REGISTRATIONS
Your warranty registration records should be completed and delivered to the
manufacturers of component parts. The selling dealership will assist you in
completing and submitting the Highland Ridge product warranty registration
form. That form must be returned to Highland Ridge within ten (10) days of
your taking delivery of the RV. Your warranty will not be registered unless
this warranty registration is completed and received by Highland Ridge.
Failure to file this warranty registration with Highland Ridge will not affect
your rights under this limited warranty as long as you can present proof of
purchase, but it can cause delays in obtaining the benefits of this limited
warranty, and it may inhibit any servicing facility’s ability to provide
proper repairs and/or part replacement. Note, tender and acceptance of a
warranty registration does not alter the express terms of this limited
warranty or any of its exclusions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is the owner’s responsibility to perform proper care and maintenance of the
RV, and to assure correct load distribution. For details regarding this,
please see your RV owner’s manual and the owner’s manuals of other component
part manufacturers. These outline various care and maintenance that is
required to maintain your RV. Please review all manuals supplied with your RV,
and contact your selling dealership or supplier of the component part if you
have questions. Note: Failure to maintain the RV as noted in those manuals
voids this limited warranty, and any damage to the RV as a result of your
failure to perform such care, is not covered by this limited warranty.
Damage to interior or exterior surfaces, trims, upholstery and other
appearance items may occur at the factory during assembly, during delivery of
the RV to the selling dealer or on the selling dealer’s lot. Normally, any
damage is detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer
during the inspection process.
ACCEPTANCE OF WARRANTY
When you request or accept the performance of warranty repairs under the terms
of this Limited Warranty, you are confirming the acceptance all terms of this
Limited Warranty, including, by way of example, warranty limitations and
disclaimers, the forum selection clause and the clause reducing the time
period within which suit must be filed for breach.
LEGAL REMEDIES
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR DECIDING LEGAL DISPUTES RELATING TO AN ALLEGED
BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO YOUR PURCHASE OR OWNERSHIP OF THE
RV MUST BE FILED IN THE COURTS WITHIN THE STATE OF MANUFACTURE, WHICH IS
INDIANA. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY STATE LAW, ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES AND CAUSES
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR STATUTE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF INDIANA, INCLUDING ITS STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT
TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULE THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS
OF A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR PROVINCE TO PROVINCE. ALL ACTIONS OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE RV SHALL BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE RATHER THAN BY A JURY. The jury waiver and choice of law clause, as well as limitations and disclaimers of warranties, may not apply to you if applicable state or provincial law prohibits a waiver of a jury trial or enforcement of a choice of law clause resulting in a waiver of a non-waivable statutory cause of action.

2025 STARCRAFT LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT AND WHO IS COVERED
This Limited Warranty covers only RVs sold in, and that remain in, the United
States, U.S. Territories and Canada and used for the intended purpose of
recreational travel and camping. If a substantial defect in material or
workmanship, attributable to Starcraft, is found to exist and is reported to
Starcraft or an authorized servicing dealer during the applicable warranty
period, it will be repaired or replaced, at Starcraft’s option, without charge
to the RV owner, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of
this limited warranty.
This limited warranty applies to the first consumer purchaser of a new RV
only. All rights and limitations within this warranty are applicable to the
original owner of the RV only. You may contact an independent, authorized
dealer for details.
This Limited Warranty provides the sole remedy, whether in contract, tort, or
otherwise, for any defect in the RV that does not result in bodily injury or
damage to property other than the RV. If any term or condition in this Limited
Warranty conflicts with your state’s Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), as
interpreted by courts within your state, the provisions in your state’s UCC
are varied as allowed for by UCC 1-302. UCC 1-302 provides that common law
contract actions are displaced (preempted) if the UCC provides a cause of
action or remedy. After you have accepted the goods (the RV), the UCC provides
that the remedy available is exclusively an action for breach of warranty.
LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT IS FOUND TO ARISE BY WAY OF STATE OR FEDERAL LAW,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
FITNESS, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND IS LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THE SCOPE OF COVERAGE OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY, AND IS FURTHER LIMITED TO DEFECTS EXISTING AT THE TIME OF
SALE THAT MANIFESTED THEMSELVES AND SURFACED DURING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
COVERAGE PERIOD. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, ARE DISCLAIMED IN THEIR ENTIRETY AS TO RVs OR COMPONENTS OF RVs
EXCLUDED OR NOT COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
Starcraft makes no warranty of any nature beyond that contained in this
limited warranty. Starcraft does not authorize any person to create any other
obligation or liability for it regarding this RV, and Starcraft is not
responsible for any representation, promise or warranty made by any dealer or
other person beyond what is expressly stated in this limited warranty, and no
one has the authority to enlarge, amend or modify this limited warranty. Any
selling or servicing dealer is not Starcraft’s agent, but an independent
entity.
STARCRAFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT
MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY. BY
WAY OF EXAMPLE, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDE FUEL AND TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES
TO DELIVER THE RV TO A SERVICING DEALER, HOTEL ROOMS, LOST WAGES AND MOISTURE
DAMAGE SUCH AS MOLD AND MILDEW AS WELL AS RUST AND CORROSION. THIS EXCLUSION
OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE INDEPENDENT OF ANY FAILURE OF
THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY WARRANTY, AND THIS EXCLUSION SHALL SURVIVE ANY
DETERMINATION THAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY HAS FAILED OF
ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE
The duration of the Limited Warranty is 1 year. The warranty period begins on
the date that the RV is delivered to the first retail purchaser by an
independent, authorized dealer of Starcraft, or, if the dealer places the
vehicle in service prior to retail sale, on the date the RV is first placed in
such service.
The term of this Limited Warranty is 3 years for substantial defects to any
“Structure Components.” Structure Components means materials and/or
workmanship directly attributable to Starcraft relating to the lamination of
the fiberglass sidewall assembly, the lamination of the rear wall assembly,
the lamination of the fiberglass front wall (wrap) assembly, sidewall/end
wall/front and rear wall frame assembly (wood and aluminum), roof frame
assembly (wood and aluminum), and floor frame assembly (wood and aluminum).
Structure Components specifically excludes front and rear fiberglass caps and
any other cosmetic fiberglass attachments, sidewall metal (unless the root
cause is the wall structure); exterior roof material (EPDM rubber, TPO, etc.);
floor covering (carpet, linoleum, hardwood tile, etc.); all sidewall, end
wall, front and rear wall, roof and floor attachments, and delamination caused
by water intrusion from lack of required exterior seal maintenance or other
maintenance. Structure Components further excludes all items identified under
“What is Not Covered” below.
Starcraft’s obligation to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship
is the sole obligation of Starcraft under this limited warranty. Starcraft
reserves the right to have new or remanufactured parts of similar quality used
to complete any work, and to make parts and design changes from time to time
without notice to anyone. Starcraft reserves the right to make changes in the
design or material of its products without incurring any obligation to
incorporate such changes in any product previously manufactured. Starcraft
makes no warranty as to the future performance of this RV, and this limited
warranty is not intended to extend to the future performance of this RV, or
any of its materials, components or parts. In addition, the RV owner’s
obligation to notify Starcraft, or one of its independent, authorized dealers,
of a claimed defect does not modify any obligation placed on the RV owner to
contact Starcraft directly when attempting to pursue remedies under state or
federal law.
HOW TO GET SERVICE
It is normal to expect some warranty service during the term of this Limited
Warranty. To obtain warranty service the owner must do all of the following:

If diminished value damages are sought by you, both you and Starcraft (or the person providing the diminished value opinion) MUST, with specificity, disclose to the judge or jury how the diminished value figure was arrived at so the accuracy can be verified through replication. If the diminished value figure cannot be verified through replication, you and Starcraft agree that any such diminished value opinion will not be used to determine the remedy for breach of warranty.

EVENTS DISCHARGING STARCRAFT FROM OBLIGATION UNDER WARRANTY
Certain things completely discharge Starcraft from any obligation under this
warranty and void it. By way of example, the following shall discharge
Starcraft from any express or implied warranty obligation to repair or replace
any defect that results from: any rental or other business or commercial use
or purchase of the RV (as defined in this warranty), any RV titled or
registered in the name of any business association (such as a corporation or
limited liability company), any RV sold outside of, or used outside of, the
United States, U.S. Territories or Canada, through an auction or wholesale or

Manual), unauthorized alteration, off road use, collision or accident, whether
or not foreseeable, including any acts of weather or damage or corrosion due
to the environment, theft, vandalism, fire, explosions, overloading in excess
of weight ratings, and tampering with any portion of the RV.
LEGAL REMEDIES
ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY PORTION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, OR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY, SHALL BE COMMENCED WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY
COVERAGE PERIOD DESIGNATED ABOVE (i.e. an action must be brought within 1 year
and 90 days of purchase except for claims related solely to Structure
components which must be filed within 3 years and 90 days of purchase). Any
performance of repairs shall not suspend this limitation period from expiring
unless state law provides otherwise. Any performance of repairs after the
warranty coverage period has expired, or performance of repairs regarding
anything excluded from coverage under this limited warranty shall be
considered “good will” repairs, and they will not alter the express terms of
this limited warranty, or extend the warranty coverage period or this
limitation period. Starcraft is not required to notify you if authorized
repairs are considered “good will” by Starcraft.
In addition, this warranty is not intended to extend to future performance,
and nothing in this warranty, or any action of Starcraft, or any agent of
Starcraft, shall be interpreted as an extension of the warranty period or this
limitation period. Some states do not allow a reduction in the statute of
limitations, so this reduction may not apply to you.
WARRANTY REGISTRATIONS
Your warranty registration records should be completed and delivered to the
manufacturers of component parts. The selling dealership will assist you in
completing and submitting the Starcraft product warranty registration form.
That form must be returned to Starcraft within ten (10) days of your taking
delivery of the RV. Your warranty will not be registered unless this warranty
registration is completed and received by Starcraft. Failure to file this
warranty registration with Starcraft will not affect your rights under this
limited warranty as long as you can present proof of purchase, but it can
cause delays in obtaining the benefits of this limited warranty, and it may
inhibit any servicing facility’s ability to provide proper repairs and/or part
replacement. Note, tender and acceptance of a warranty registration does not
alter the express terms of this limited warranty or any of its exclusions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is the owner’s responsibility to perform proper care and maintenance of the
RV, and to assure correct load distribution. For details regarding this,
please see your RV owner’s manual and the owner’s manuals of other component
part manufacturers. These outline various care and maintenance that is
required to maintain your RV. Please review all manuals supplied with your RV,
and contact your selling dealership or supplier of the component part if you
have questions. Note: Failure to maintain the RV as noted in those manuals
voids this limited warranty, and any damage to the RV as a result of your
failure to perform such care, is not covered by this limited warranty.
Damage to interior or exterior surfaces, trims, upholstery and other
appearance items may occur at the factory during assembly, during delivery of
the RV to the selling dealer or on the selling dealer’s lot. Normally, any
damage is detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer
during the inspection process.
LEGAL REMEDIES
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR DECIDING LEGAL DISPUTES RELATING TO AN ALLEGED
BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO YOUR PURCHASE OR OWNERSHIP OF THE
RV MUST BE FILE DIN THE COURTS WITHIN THE STATE OF MANUFACTURE, WHICH IS
INDIANA. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY STATE LAW, ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES AND CAUSES
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR STATUTE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF INDIANA, INCLUDING ITS STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT
TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULE THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS
OF A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR
PROVINCE TO PROVINCE. ALL ACTIONS OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE RV SHALL BE
DECIDED BY A JUDGE RATHER THAN A JURY. The jury waiver and choice of law
clause, as well as limitations and disclaimers of warranties, may not apply to
you if applicable state or provincial law prohibits a waiver of a jury trial
or enforcement of a choice of law clause resulting in a waiver of a non-
waivable statutory cause of action.
