Additional Considerations

• Ceasing use of the RV: In the event that the defect makes the RV inoperative or unsafe, it is crucial to immediately stop using the vehicle and notify Zone RV for inspection and necessary repairs or servicing.
• On-site repairs: If requested by the owner, Zone RV may provide on-site repair services for defects covered by the warranty. However, this service requires payment of a call-out fee determined by Zone RV and approval via the above method.
• Authorized repair work: To ensure warranty coverage and payment, all repairs must be carried out require prior express written consent from Zone RV warranty team.
