How would a gal get her hands on an owners/operat. manual? I purchased a 2005 and have way to many questions.

Hi!

Here's a link- it's to a post from somebody who says she called Forest River and they sent her a 2005 manual for FREE!

It's from 2009, but there's a phone number in the post, and it might be worth a try...:
Flagstaff by Forest River owner's manual! Please read!

Hope this helps!

be advised, unless they send you a free one, it's not worth paying for it if they charge.
if you'd check out Forest River Forums' website, you'd see that this question is asked almost every day and the answer almost all the time, is don't bother!
FR only provides a generic owner's manual, with no model-specific info. just general things on RV systems, like how the water system works or how the holding tanks work.
you do get manuals from the individual things, like: oven, awning, converter, a/c, fridge/freezer, radio, furnace and so on.
but you can download those from the manufacturers' websites.
but if you want to know specific things like, where the drain valve on your RV is, the FR owner's manual won't tell you.

pretty much the same as the Damon Astoria owners' manual.

Agreed! I've got all the manuals for my coach and after the first few weeks, rarely look at them. They are so generic as to be nearly useless.
