Power Broker. The 2009 Embark is the perfect balance of power and security.
Built on a Freightliner M2 Chassis with a 330 horsepower Cummins ISC diesel
engine and a 6-speed Allison automatic transmission, the Embark gives you
all the power you need. And with a spacious cab, surprisingly tight turning
radius and excellent visibility, you’ll feel at home behind the wheel.
Durable Construction
Our TuffShell sidewall construction features a lightweight
aluminum frame , efficient bead foam insulation (R-9 max),
3
/ 16” plywood and steel backer plates that are vacuum-bonded
for superior strength and weight reduction.
Protection from the Elements
Jayco’s TuffShell fiberglass one-piece vacuum-bonded roof
provides first-class protection from rain, heat and noise with
UV inhibiter, 5” welded aluminum trusses , and bead foam
insulation (R25).
Power for the Road
A 330hp (2,000 rpm) Cummins ® ISC Diesel Engine
combines with the 6-speed Allison ® automatic
transmission and a 20,000 lb. hitch to give the
Embark up to 10 tons of towing capacity that can
pull just about any boat, vehicle or trailer you want
to take with you.

Firm Foundation
With a 1 ½” welded steel frame , steel support trusses and
3
/ 8” one-piece Structurwood ® flooring , the Embark’s foundation
is built to withstand the rigors of road travel. And with heavy
duty automatic hydraulic leveling jacks , a durable carpet pad
and easy-care carpet , the Embark is also ready for the trials of
everyday living.

is only appreciated over time: aerodynamic design gives you better
handling on the road; easy access to storage reduces frustration;
tinted safety glass windows give you privacy and efficiency; central
air conditioning and an electric awning make it easy to stay cool
both inside and out.

Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW): Sometimes referred to
as “Dry Weight,” UVW means the typical weight of this motorhome as
built at the factory. The UVW, as used in product literature and other
promotional materials, does not include cargo, fresh water, LP gas,
options or dealer-installed accessories.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): GVWR means the
maximum permissible weight of the motorhome, including the UVW
plus passengers, personal items, all cargo, fluids, options and dealerinstalled
accessories. The GVWR is equal to or greater than the sum of
the UVW and the CCC.
Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC): CCC means the maximum
weight of all passengers, personal items, food, fresh water, LP gas,
tools, other cargo and dealer-installed accessories that can be carried
by the motorhome. CCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW. The
addition of options will decrease the CCC.
It is important for your safety and enjoyment that you are aware of the weights and tow ratings of the RV you select. Consult a
competent advisor for questions or advice. Whether you are new to RVing or a veteran, get a feel for the performance of your RV before
heading out on the roadways. When you tow a vehicle with your RV you must drive differently than when you drive a single vehicle.
Practice hooking up, driving, backing up and braking in a safe environment or seek out professional instruction. Jayco affixes a weight
label to each RV which lists weight information for that vehicle. Refer to that label to verify the vehicle will meet your requirements.

We Back What We Build.
The Jayco Co-Pilot Warranty is a manufacturer’s
limited warranty. It comes from the people who
build Jayco recreation vehicles to the people who
buy them. Each Jayco is warranted to the original
purchaser for twenty-four (24) months or twenty-four
thousand (24,000) miles (mileage limitation applies
to motorized products only), whichever occurs first,
from the original date of purchase against defects in
materials and workmanship. Jayco’s limited warranty
is not transferable. Go ahead and compare the Jayco
warranty with other manufacturers’ warranties. You’ll
find it’s the best in the business!
For a copy of the limited warranty with full terms and
conditions, ask your local Jayco dealer.
Why a Local Jayco Dealer is Important to You
Establishing a solid relationship with your local Jayco
dealer is a key component in the enjoyment of your
new Jayco. By purchasing from a local dealer, you
will have a convenient location for sales, parts and
service support.
Jayco dealers are required to deliver all products
at the site of the sale to ensure a full product
orientation and walk through at the time of delivery.
It’s a good way to become familiar with your Jayco
and to meet the service, parts and warranty staff
members who will be assisting you. If you live in
Canada, there are regulations that must be met
when buying a Jayco RV. Your local Canadian dealer
is a professional at meeting these requirements and
regulations. There simply is no substitute for a good
relationship with your local Jayco dealer.
it’s ALWAYS been
about “liveability”
Lloyd Bontrager went into the RV manufacturing
business in 1968 to improve the camping trailer
lifter system. He knew that a better lifter system
would mean a more “liveable” camping experience
for his family and so many others.
More than forty years later, and now the largest familyowned
RV manufacturer in the world, this priority still
rings true at Jayco. As we work to continue building
“America’s Most Liveable RVs”, we do it with one
goal in mind —to improve the RV experience and help
make “family time” truly memorable.
