Does everyone know that the (new) Monaco factory web site has this info for older products (even on brands not now produced)? Lots of info including standard equipment and options.
On main page click on your coach/trailer and at that page click on "products" and there should be an archive page which goes back to 2002. I've printed our 30'ish page brochure in full color and the floorplan for our specific coach.

A very handy resource, but the years that are covered vary depending on the brand and model line. Some cover more years, some less.

Some brochures (at least mine) are designed to use spreads that bleed across and cover both open pages of the printed book. When looking at them one page at a time, which is the normal way to look at PDF files, some pictures will be cut off because half is on one page, and half is on the next. Using the embedded reader that is on the Monaco web page, it's even worse since it only takes up a portion of the window.

But if you save the file to your local computer, and open it with the regular Acrobat reader, you have more options: you can maximize it to full screen for better reading, and you can use the View | Page Display menu to select one of the "Two-up" viewing modes. This will display two pages side-by-side and let you properly see the pictures that bleed across from one page to the other. You may also have to play with the "Show Cover Page During Two-Up" menu item on that same menu to get the pages to show up properly side by side. When you get pictures that flow seamlessly from the left page to the right page, you know you have it right.

This works particularly well on a 24 inch or larger wide screen monitor... you don't even have to zoom in to be able to read the text.
