 Congratulations!
You have just purchased the finest quality van on the market. This
owners manual is designed to ensure that you enjoy your Explorer
van as much and as long as possible, and that you protect your
investment through proper care. Before driving your van for the
first time, take a moment now to read through this owners manual
while seated in the van. The time spent familiarizing yourself with
its features and operation will greatly enhance your personal safety
and enjoyment. Take good care of your Explorer van and it will
provide years of service. We have provided a page in the back of
this manual for you to record regular maintenance performed
on the van.

We at Explorer Van Co. appreciate your patronage, and we wish

you years of enjoyment.

In addition to this owners manual, you will find a “Care

Package” with your van.
This “Care Package” also contains extra buttons, striping, fuses,
component manuals, and a lug nut adapter.

Special Note
Explorer Van Company makes every effort to provide you, our
customer, with the finest product and service possible. Wood parts
in Explorer van conversions are hand-crafted in our own plant.
Slight color variations can be expected due to natural aging of
wood over a period of weeks and months. Replacement parts are
also hand-crafted in our plant of the same type and grade of wood
used for the parts when it was delivered to you. However, no tree
is identical. You may notice a slight color variation in replacement
parts, and, of course, replacement will also go through an aging
process as well.

this manual, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased
the van. Should you still have questions, you may call the Explorer
Van Customer Service Department at 1-800-926-7878.

package to an automotive van or light truck chassis will be free from defects in
materials used and workmanship rendered for a period of thirty-six (36) months
from date of initial sale to you or thirty-six thousand (36,000) miles, whichever
comes first.

warranty unless you complete and return the Customer Warranty Registration
card to Explorer within sixty (60) days of the date of your purchase of your
Explorer Van. Notification of Defect or Damage. You will not be covered for
any particular defect or damage unless you notify Explorer or your selling
dealer within thirty (30) days after the defect or damage is or should have been
discovered by you.

IV. WHO IS COVERED

Consumers Only. This warranty is provided to you only if you use the Explorer

Page 3
Van solely for personal, family or household purposes. If you use the Explorer
Van for commercial or business purposes, no warranty is provided.

Original Buyer Only. The warranty is provided to you only if you are the
original retail buyer and it is not transferable. If you purchased your Explorer
Van from the original retail buyer or another subsequent owner, your Explorer
Van is not covered by this warranty.

V. WHAT IS COVERED
This warranty covers the seats, interior lights, trim, windows and all other
components and parts that have been installed by Explorer. If you elected to
purchase upgraded wheels, those wheels are installed by Explorer, and are
covered by this warranty.

VI. WHAT IS NOT COVERED

Parts Supplied by Chassis Manufacturer. Explorer provides and sells
conversion packages to dealers. Your dealer purchased the chassis itself from
the manufacturer of the chassis. This warranty does not cover any components
or other parts supplied by the manufacturer of the chassis. For example, the
engine and all of its components, the frame, the steering mechanism, axles,
brakes, heater, transmission, air conditioner, suspension, drive trains, wheels
(other than upgraded wheels supplied by Explorer), tires and batteries are not
covered by this warranty. You should contact the manufacturer of the chassis
or your dealer if you discover a defect in any components or parts supplied by
the manufacturer of the chassis.

New Parts and Equipment. Parts or other equipment installed after your
Explorer Van leaves the control of Explorer are not covered by this warranty.
Any defects or damages caused by such parts and equipment are also not
covered by this warranty.

Alterations. This warranty does not cover any defects or damages caused by
any alterations or modifications of your Explorer Van, including modifications
of components and parts supplied by Explorer after the Explorer Van leaves the
control of Explorer.

Handicap Accessible Vans. Explorer does not produce handicap accessible

vans. If lifts or other parts and equipment have been in stalled on an Explorer
Van to make it handicap accessible, the lifts and other parts and equipment are
not covered by this warranty. Furthermore, if the addition of the lifts, parts,
equipment or other alterations cause defects or damages to the components
installed by Explorer, this warranty does not cover any such defects or damages
and Explorer will not be responsible for them under this warranty.

Page 4
Damage Caused by Accidents, Misuse or Other Events. Defects or damages
resulting from collisions, fires, theft, vandalism, or weather conditions
(including hail, floods, windstorms, and lightening) are not covered by this
warranty. Defects or damages otherwise caused by you, any third parties or the
forces of nature are also not covered.

Damage Due to Environmental Conditions. Defects and damages caused

by airborne fallout, dust, salt, chemicals, tree sap, stones, insects, and the
application of chemicals or sealants are not covered by this warranty.

VII. SPECIAL LIMITATIONS ON COVERAGE.

Wood Parts and Components. Although wood products installed by Explorer
are covered by this warranty, color variations which occur in natural wood
products or color variations due to the natural aging process of wood over time
are not defects or damages covered by this warranty.

Finish. This warranty does not cover any defects in or caused by the original
factory finish applied by the chassis manufacturer.

Maintenance. To the extent any of the components and parts supplied by

Explorer require regular maintenance, you must provide that maintenance at
your expense. Any defects or damages caused by a failure to provide regular
maintenance is not covered by this warranty.

VIII. WHAT WILL EXPLORER DO.

If, at any time during the applicable warranty period, any Explorer provided
components or parts of your Explorer Van malfunction or fail due to a
manufacturing defect or defect in workmanship, Explorer will, at its option,
repair, replace, or adjust the defective component or part or refund the cost of
a defective component. If Explorer elects to replace a defective component
or part, it may not be able to obtain an identical component or part to use as a
replacement. In such an event, it will use a reasonably equivalent component
or part as the replacement. Explorer and your dealer are entitled to a reasonable
time and a reasonable number of attempts to diagnose and repair any defect
covered by this warranty. The remedy and Explorer’s liability set forth in this
Part VIII for breach of Explorer’s Limited Warranty is the exclusive and sole
remedy and the limit of Explorer’s liability for any breach of warranty.

IX. HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE.

If you discover any defect or damage covered by this warranty, you should
promptly notify your dealer or send a notice to Explorer at the address in Part I.
The notice must be provided within thirty (30) days after a defect is or should
have been discovered. After notification, Explorer or your dealer will direct you
to either return the defective part or the Explorer Van to your dealer, Explorer or

Page 5
another authorized Explorer service center. If Explorer determines that repair or
replacement by your dealer or another service center is impractical, you will be
required to return the defective part or vehicle to the Explorer factory. All costs
incurred by you for returning the Explorer Van to and from your dealer, another
Explorer service center or the Explorer factory will be your responsibility.

X. RIGHTS UNDER STATE LAW.

Other Legal Rights. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state. For example, in addition
to the limited warranty provided by Explorer, you may also have an implied
warranty that arises under applicable law. Specifically, you may have an implied
warranty of merchantability and/or implied warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose.

Limit on Length of Implied Warranty. The implied warranties available to

you are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the
Explorer Limited Warranty or to the applicable time period provided by state
law, whichever period is shorter. Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Business or Commercial Purposes.

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU AT ALL
IF YOU USE YOUR VEHICLE FOR BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL
PURPOSES. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, EXPLORER DISCLAIMS ANY
AND ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

XI. LIMITATIONS ON REMEDIES FOR ALL CLAIMS

Incidental and Consequential Damages. In no event will Explorer be
responsible for any time or income that you lose, any inconvenience you
might be caused, the loss of your transportation or use of your vehicle, cost of
rental vehicles, fuels, telephone, travel, meals or lodging, the loss of personal
or commercial property, the loss of revenue, or any other incidental on
consequential damages you may have.

Punitive Damages. Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be

recovered unless applicable law prohibits their disclaimer.

Breach of Implied Warranties. If you are entitled to the benefit of any implied
warranties, your remedy and Explorer’s liability will be as set forth in Part VIII
for a breach of the Explorer Limited Warranty.

Page 6
Class Actions. You may not bring any warranty related or other claims against
Explorer as a class representative, a private attorney general, a member of a
class of claimants or in any other representative capacity.

Arbitration. A warranty related or other claim against Explorer must be

arbitrated in accordance with Part XIV and not brought in any civil court.

All Types of Claims. The limitations set forth in this Section apply to claims
for breach of Explorer’s warranty, other breach of warranty claims, claims for
negligence and to other claims against Explorer based on any other theory.

Effect of State Law. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions related to
such damages set forth in this Part XI may not apply to you.

XII. PRODUCTION CHANGES

Explorer reserves the right to make changes in the conversion vans its
manufactures or sells at any time. Explorer has no obligation to make the same
or similar changes to any van conversion it previously manufactured or sold, and
Explorer has no obligation to conform any Explorer Van to the features shown in
any Explorer brochure or advertisement.

XIII. REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS TO THE UNITED STATES

GOVERNMENT
If you believe that your vehicle has a safety defect, you should inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to
notifying Explorer. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exist in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall or remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become
involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Explorer. To
contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hot-line toll free at 1-800-
424-9393 (Washington, D.C. residents may call 366-0123) or write to NHTSA,
U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventy Street, Washington D.C. 20590.
You can obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the hot line.

XIV. ARBITRATION
If Explorer is unable to resolve your warranty claim or you have any other claim
against Explorer or your dealer that relates to your Explorer Van conversion, you
must submit your claim to binding arbitration under the federal Arbitration Act,
9 U.S.C. § 1-14. Arbitration will be administrated by the American Arbitration
Association (AAA), pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules, unless and
until EXPLORER designates a different administrator, in which event a notice
will be mailed to your last known address. To initiate an arbitration proceeding,
you must notify EXPLORER of your intent to arbitrate and binding arbitration

Page 7
proceedings will be held after you have paid $125 to the American Arbitration
Association to be applied to the initial filing fee. If your claim is less than
$10,000, EXPLORER will pay the balance of the initial filing fee and any final
fee payable to AAA and the arbitrator shall not award damages in excess of
$10,000. If your claim exceeds $10,000 or is not specified, you must pay one
half of the fees and costs payable to AAA in excess of $125. You, the dealer,
and EXPLORER will each pay their own costs and expenses in connection with
the arbitration hearing. The claim will be heard by a single arbitrator, and will
be held thirty (30) days after the claim is filed, unless all parties agree to a later
date. The arbitrator shall be selected from a panel named by AAA, pursuant to
its rules. Unless required by law, the arbitrator shall award only actual damages
for financial loss, and shall not award damages for personal injury or mental
anguish, or other intangible claims. Statutes of limitation, which would apply to
a court proceeding for your claim, will apply to commencement of arbitration
proceedings. If you file a claim in court, you will be required to pay all fees,
cost and expenses, including Explorer’s attorneys’ fees, for dismissal or referral
to arbitration. This Agreement will apply to you, your heirs, and assigns, and
anyone who purchases or leases your Explorer Van from you or operates or
occupies it with your permission or without objection by you. Nothing in this
Agreement enlarges your rights or gives you any rights or claims you would
not otherwise have. FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO FILE A CLAIM
OR ABOUT THE ARBITRATION PROGRAM, CALL EXPLORER AT (574)
267-7666, OR THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AT (800)
778-7879.

“snowy” effect on the picture. For this reason you may want to
consider a DVD, Blu Ray or Satellite System to provide more
satisfying TV entertainment.

Note: The TV Monitor must be set to operate the DVD on HDMI1

 Wheels
SERVICE BULLETIN

Customers purchasing an Explorer Van equipped with cast alloy

wheels must be made aware of the lug nut tightening procedure
necessary in the immediate break-in period of the van.

Lug nuts need to be checked and tightened often the first one
hundred (100) miles and once again after an additional two
hundred fifty (250) miles. Lug nuts should then be checked every
one thousand to fifteen hundred (1,000-1,500) miles.

If the wheels are ever removed for service or tire rotation, the
initial lug nut tightening procedure must be gone through again.
Failure to follow proper lug nut tightening procedures could result
in wheel stud failure and possible loss of the wheel.

Lug nut adapter provided in

Care Package.

Optional Upgrade Tires

The buyer understands that the original tire manufacturer provides
a warranty for any implied defects.

Please note that it is normal for the front wheels to accumulate

more dust than the rear wheels. This dust is the normal result of
wear on the front disc brake pads. Be sure to follow the cleaning
directions on page 24.

Page 23
 Note on Alloy Wheels
If your van is equipped with alloy wheels that have a special
coating, clean these wheels only with a soft cloth and warm soapy
water—never use a wire brush or other objects that might
remove the protective coating on the wheel.
Never use any cleaners.

THE CARE & MAINTENANCE OF

PVD COATED WHEELS

PDV (Physical Vapor Deposition) coated aluminum wheels are not

the same as chrome plated wheels and clean up easily with the use
of soap and water.

Explorer recommends the use of mild soap (or “car wash” soap)
and water with a soft sponge for cleaning on a regular basis. Dry
with a soft cloth.

AVOID spraying cold water on extremely hot wheels. Always

allow wheels to cool before cleaning.

DO NOT USE abrasive wheel cleaners or acid based chrome

wheel cleaners intended for use on chrome plated wheels.

DO NOT USE steel wool or stiff bristle brushes on the finish.

If a scratch does appear, we recommend the use of Meguiar’s

Scratch X 2.0 for the removal of mild scratches. Follow
manufacturer’s instruction on product bottle.

Running Board Capacity

The running board capacity for high top and
low top vans is 300 lbs.
