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 https://forestriverinc.help/#/forestriverrv/guide/2020/965-r-pod/browse - here it is . ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

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

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. ------------- Dr. J.R. Chambers II |

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. . ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

When you discover that jackknife sofa is hard as a rock after sitting in watching TV consider this for your 189.

If the online manual is a PDF you can download it and save it to a phone, tablet or laptop to access it and even search it while you're not online.  ------------- Julie |
