Owners Manual

Apologies if I have missed it, but is there a repository somewhere on this site, or another site for owners manuals? We bought ours without one, the company is out of business, and even if they were, apparently you had to do everything through a dealer.

I can certainly get by without one, but it would be easier if there were one available somewhere.

What information did you hope to find in the owners manual? I think you'd be better served to spend time searching your trailer from top to bottom, noting every system you find installed in it. Then spend time with Google and search for operating manuals for each of those installed items you found. While on the exploration of your trailer, also note down every fuse and breaker you uncover. This information and the found manuals online will be better and more detailed than a trailer manufacturer's manual.

Thanks. That's what I figure I'll have to do without one. You're right, might as well just do it anyway, probably be easier in the end. I was hoping to find some weight info, which I found online but have no idea if its remotely accurate. As well as electrical. Just gotta make some time to go through it I guess.

Owners manuals, if there even was one, are only generic. They won't have the info on systems/appliances you're looking for. Get a good flashlight, a small mirror (you may need that to see behind some items), paper & pen. Then find/list the make/model numbers for all your items & sit down with your friend Google.

We do have a Files section (see lower toolbar) where members upload all sorts of documents pertaining to RV's. You may or may not find useful info documents there.

Good luck.

I went stem to stern with my iphone camera, and took a picture of every accessible installed item and its decal plate. Model and serial numbers are there.
Then I go to their website and usually find all the info I need.

I will always have a record that way.

While mine did come with an owners manual it leaves much to be desired. It's content can apply to pretty much any make or model out there. Take pictures and look on line for any information you need.
