Forrest River never did make an owner's manual until around the last year or so. It used to be available in PDF format, but now it's an online manual (with sections in PDF). I have not looked at it yet, but here it is.

Across all of RV land, only a couple marques provide a real manual.

3" binder built my own. Better than anything an OEM could provide.

Well call me a sissy or old school if you want but let's say you live in WV like I do and do not have Internet. Half the population does not. And you spend money for a camper and don't get a manual. Then what? I have never heard of companies not giving a manual. Except Apple.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic (about the RV manufacturers, not you). Of course these guys should provide a manual. A schematic would be really handy as well. Even if you have internet access at home its rare to have it available at undeveloped campsites which is when you'll really need it. My favorite camping areas are in WV, and none of them have mobile data access. .
