User Manual

As has been mentioned and you have already found out, the owners manual for the Sunnybook trailers, and most other manufacturers, are very generic.

You can download the manuals for most of your appliances and other things in your rig from a site owned by one of our members Chris Bryant. He has a RV repair business in Florida and has been very helpful to many of our members including myself.

Hope this helps you out and you enjoy your fathers rig! :) Sunnybrook built the Titan models very well and to last. Ours is the same year as yours, still looks almost new, and is going strong. :) Too bad they sold out to Winnebago.

Thank you for all the replies! The consensus seems to be that I not waste time trying to find a stand-alone manual for the trailer, but to identify the makers and models of appliances and options to use the separate manuals. This works in most cases. In others, as with the front landing legs, the model numbers that would tell me the capacity seem to be hidden inside the trailer siding, so I will need to make an "informed guess". I did manage to change the tires, and had to do this myself because I was reluctant to move the trailer on its old tires that were deeply cracked at the base from sitting so long. I could easily see the frame at the rear of the trailer for placing a jack and back-up stands. The front was more difficult since the instructions told me not to rely on the lift legs, but the frame is covered. So I assumed where it should be and used floor jacks to back-up the lift legs. After research on tires and calculating loads, I agree that there is a lot of anecdotal information. But it turns out that choices are limited. The trailer had load range E LT tires that were close to their maximum load capacity. Having seen the damage that a failed tire can do to the side of a trailer, and thinking about the cost of fixing it, I spent a little more to get load range G steel wall LT tires running at a pressure (recommended by the tire shop) that is safe for the wheels. I have also checked to see that the truck I am using (Dodge Ram 2500 with the 6.4 liter diesel engine) can safely and legally pull the trailer. Having pulled stock trailers, I am sure it has the power, but handling, stopping, legal loads, and my California drivers license still needed to be confirmed. It turns out that things are close to legal limits, but okay. I am still frustrated with draining and sanitizing the fresh water system. The water lines are mostly hidden, so I am guessing at drain points, and the trailer was last filled years ago with untreated well water. So before my family uses it, I want to drain and flush the fresh water tanks and lines, fill them with treated water, and then flush them again. Right now, all pop-outs and appliances seem to work (after switching to a filled LP gas tank), but I agree that these all need to be checked again and operation confirmed before towing the trailer away from nearby repair shops. It is a very nice trailer, especially for a beginner, and I want to keep it that way. Sorry for the long message, but I am new at this with many questions, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have manuals on a thumb drive. I have a few on the laptop hard drive that I use more often or have to refer to.

I believe the real advantage of having a copy of the manual on the hard drive is the ability to search for a particular set of words. It saves hours of combing through a 70 to 300 page book.

There are many posts on sanitizing the fresh water. I never have for the simple reason that we get enough treated city water so that there has never been a problem in 30 years.

And there are even more posts on tires. There are numerous sub standard tires available. Be aware that very few tire shops know anything about RV tires but they will have a good sales pitch anyway, if it fits they will mount it. RV tires are not subject to the same conditions as a standard car tire.

Take and maintain pictures of everything including appliance labels, motors, wiring, etc.

Label all wiring and take more pictures before removing changing etc.

And like the above post keep them safe in the rig. I keep my files on the laptop and backup copies at home and in the rig.

And find out how to manually retract the slides for the day when not if they won't retract when you push the button. This should be a high priority item since with a deployed slide you are not going anywhere.

We agree, Like Roger above, hubby had gotten all the manuals on line, and just downloaded them to a memory stick, and keeps it in the 5'er. (No need to take up space on the hard drive). Good Luck and Happy Camping !!!

The best you can do is get the model numbers from all the things that have them and get manuals on line. I just keep them on my computer so I can reference them when I need them no matter where I am.

No, most manuals are very generic,
You could make a list of the appliances and download manuals.
