Weekend Warrior ft4005

Windowman you might find specs just searching the internet, but trying to find a brochure can be a challenge. I did a quick search but didn't find anything.

As for the operating manuals, most all RVs of that era just came with a bundle of various manuals from the products installed in the RV; fridge, water heater, etc. You can probably find most items on the internet but for an RV from 2008-09 it maybe a bit of digging (I think that was the era of the FT4005.

If you don't get the help you need hear the Mod can move this post to the Toy Hauler group, we still have some WW owners in that forum that may be able to assist you.

Are you sure the previous owner didn't stuff them in the back of a drawer or cabinet in the RV? I've found them there in the past.

Hey Windowman,

My Warrior came with a big 8.5 x 11 blue plastic snap envelope with all of the documentation. (Dark blue with the Weekend Warrior logo emblazoned.)

The docs weren't very good though. It had the individual manuals for the fridge, stove, furnace, etc, but nothing really relevant about the trailer itself.

RVs in general are bad about documentation, and Weekend Warrior was the tip-of-the-spear where bad docs were concerned.

Do you have any specific questions we might be able to help with?

I sold my warrior about six years ago, but I still remember it pretty well.

Our WW came with a packet of info with manuals for the equipment/appliances onboard. The WW owner's manual for the rig itself was not model specific, the info provided was extremely generic to say the least. Asking questions here on the forum and/or Youtube videos could shed more light than WW manual, although I believe it might be available somewhere online. They had Onan gennies and same AC units, appliances, and standard equipment found on most RVs of the day, manuals for these items can usually be found online, many forum members have links for this info. Good luck, hope you enjoy your WW as much as we have enjoyed ours.

Echoing what Sandia Man said, we made a lifetime of memories in our Warrior. That's the RV that we had for our kids growing years. It fit the five of us just fine (and friends).

When the kids grew up and we became empty nesters, we decided it was time to upgrade. When the kids were home, everyone had their duties and chores, but once it became just the two of us, we decided we needed some automation and upgrades. We went with the slides and self-leveling jacks. And the kicker for us was the dedicated garage so we wouldn't have to unload the off-road car when we got to camp if we didn't want to.

We love our bigger/nicer fiver a lot more, but there was nothing wrong with the old Warrior.

Have fun with yours.

It did come with the blue envelope with the manual for the tv, generator, radio and few few others but really nothing on the trailer itself. My girlfriend knew the owner personally until he passed away a year or two ago.
I can only get the front radio speakers to work but not the center or outside speakers.
There is a light on the outside (opposite of the bathroom) and I don’t know how to turn it off.

We just pulled the carpet and trying to figure what we want to put down.
I know I’ll have more questions about it and will come back to ask.

Moved from Fifth Wheels.

So this is definitely a Toy Haulers topic.

If you found that blue packet, then you got the same horrible docs that the rest of us got.

For the outdoor speakers, I recall that they ran the lines, but nothing was connected. I had to pull the head unit to connect all the speaker wired and use the fader to route the signal outside.

Can you post pics of the light you can't find?

I hadn't thought of this in years. What a mess with the outdoor speakers. Yes, it came "prewired" as they claimed, but that only meant that they ran some speaker wires from the cabinet where the head unit was out to the belly of the trailer. Nothing else was done. And the inside speakers were hooked up wrong so that the balance and fader kind of canceled each other out without any way to turn down the sound in the bedroom.

This was a long time ago for me (2005), but I remember pulling out the head unit to fix all of their wiring and then dealing with the outdoor speakers at the same time.

Once I hooked up everything on the inside, I added some outdoor weatherproof outlet covers under the belly with female banana plug outlets in the boxes. Then I added male banana plugs to some decent speakers and connected them whenever we wanted outdoor sound.

This was all before BT speakers were a viable option. I don't bother with the outdoor speakers anymore. It's easier to drag the stand-alone speaker outside and connect it to the phone in my pocket. The fidelity is way better and I don't have to keep going inside to control the playback.

We have our original WW (2005) and it came with the blue plastic folder others have described. In it was information on each sub-appliance, also as described here by others.

However, our’s had included a very basic manual (I believe it was paper cover and light blue). It only covered basic maintenance and I don’t recall the exact topics covered. My unit is currently 30 miles from our house in storage. I will look for it the next time I’m in town.

In addition, I believe I have two generic sales brochures that show all models from that year and some specs. I grabbed these as I always try and obtain as much documentation as I can when purchasing a vehicle.

You can pm and stay in touch.
