Hello! New member with a question

Look up rv manual exchange they should have it

Owner's manuals for trailers are extremely generic and pathetic. You'll find they cover most every trailer made for a particular brand and most won't have the specific info you're looking for. That's been my experience with the two I've owned. If you want a detailed owner's manual, get yourself a motorhome.

My owner's manual is a binder full of all the individual components. Separate operating/installation instructions for the awning, frig, stove, etc.

Hi all!

Newbees here. We just got a 2005 Thor Jazz fifth wheel and am trying to locate an owner's manual, but so far my web searches have been unsuccessful. Is there a place to get reprints or do I have to find someone with one and bum a copy?

Thanks!

Have you tried contacting Thor?

Write down each Brand/Model of components.......fridge, water heater, furnace, converter, water pump, A/C Unit---thermostat, toilet, etc.


Then Internet Search for those specific Brand/models for manuals. Download and print out.

You will then have specific manuals for YOUR 5th wheel.
The MFG. manual is generic/not much more than a brochure and pamphlets.


Check these out for THOR 5th wheels..........LINK

I agree with the Biscuit. On the three trailers we have owned (including a brand new Keystone Outback) what they passed off as an owner's manual was about useless.

What you can download from Dometic or Wineguard is far better than what you will get from Thor. All Thor actually constructed was the shell. Everything else was purchased from outside suppliers and they (the suppliers) are the ones who understand the components.

My Titanium did come with a grey folder full of supplier's installation and maintenance guides, but this is the only time I've seen even that.

By the way, there may be a build-out sheet inside one of your kitchen cabinets that lists brand and model of installed equipment.

P.S. (on edit) If you include more of your question in the headline of your posts, you will get more responses. The way you titled this one is a little vague.

Sorry about the vague title. :o

Thor was no help at all. They told me they sold off the Thor California brand to MVP RV's who then failed before they could start. With that sale went all of their records. Oh well.

I have an enormous envelope stuffed with manuals for every item in the trailer (fridge, microwave, hetaer, A/C, etc.), I just don't have one for the trailer itself. I would like things like wiring diagrams and information on the slides as well as maintenance procedures and schedules.

WIRING DIAGRAM!? Surely, you must be joking (stopping calling me Shirley.) I'd bet that there aren't 2 RVs of the same model, wired the same way and it would be pure luck if they actually matched any written diagram. I can't even get a plumbing diagram from Jayco on a current-production model and they were snotty that I even asked. Slides are going to be separate component manuals, just like everything else; you'll have to crawl around and see if you can find any info on them, or ask a RV repair shop to find it for you.

Unfortunately, you will have better luck trying to get a wiring diagram of your house. Keep a notebook onboard and take notes or sketch out systems as you work on them.

Owners manuals for RV's are pathetic. There are no wiring diagrams, plumbing diagrams, nor electronics wiring diagrams. Even in the exact same model trailers, component controls may differ and may be located differently.

Your envelope full of component information is the best you can hope for.
