Users Manual for a 2006 Damon needed
Anyone know where I can get a comprehensive users guide? The PDF on the Thor site is not very good.

I've looked at the PDF, the PDF looks good to me, it has the complete owner's manual for the Damon gas motorhome models. Nothing missing compared to the printed manual one of my fellow RV club members got with his Daybreak.
If you mean the manual is not very good, it is what it is, and typical. It happens to be for all models, some other manufacturers might do this by model line and have a little more model specific information. Actually, I find this one better than most, because it has relatively complete schematic diagrams. Some manufacturers allow only dealers and repair shops have access to this information.
When you get the motorhome, you should get a set of the owners manuals for each of the components in the house. These might be model specific, or for a model family. Some manufacturers also include the installation manuals, if those were in the documentation package coming with each piece.
Thus, for example, to learn how to operate the awning, you would use the awning manual, rather than looking for a chapter in the motorhome manual. This makes a certain amount of sense, because across Daybreak, Challenger and Intruder, several different awning models might have been used, from more than one supplier. Similarly there are two sources each for water heaters, refrigerators, generators and furnaces. In 2006, at least three suppliers for rooftop air conditioning and cooking appliances, even more for microwave ovens and TV sets.
