    MOtor homes are based upon somebody's Truck.. the manual for the truck will work for the chassis.

    Same for trailers

    Walls, floors, Roofs, Ceilings both inside and out are basically automotive save as well save for rubber roofs. Dicor caulk (They make the roof) and spic & span to mop (Just like a kitchen floor) 2 or 3 times a year along with serious inspections is all they need unless they are damaged.

    "Stuff" including steps, doors, Leveling systems, Jacks, Mirrors, Radios, Televisions, Microwave, Water pump, Air conditioners, Furnace, Fridge, Converter and ... Well everything not a "Wall" you can download from the customer support page on womever made the thing.
  • As previously stated, most RV manuals are of little value. However, operating manuals for the appliances can be helpful. Get the model and serial number for each appliance and go the manufacturer's website. You probably can find manuals for your appliances there.
  • Most RV manuals are of minimal value, hopefully you can find one to copy anyhow.

    Most individual systems and appliances have manuals available online. Spend some quality time with your unit writing down all the brands, models, and serial numbers. Then you can search the web for the correct manuals.
  • If you can't get a copy of the manual, don't fret about it too much. I don't know about Breckenridge in particular, but many RV owner's manuals are so generic and basic as to be of very little value. There are some exceptions, and some companies which provide very good maintenance information like wiring and plumbing diagrams, but the majority are rather poor. Usually the builders do include manuals and literature for the appliances and so forth that went into the RV, which are more helpful but can usually be found by searching for the specific appliance online.

    There are a number of books written about basic RVing, along the lines of the Dummies Guides (and maybe even an actual one of those). If you're new to RVing and have general questions one of them would frequently be more useful than the actual manual from the manufacturer.
  • Breckenridge was bought out by Damon and Damon became part of Thor in 2003. Start with Thor's customer service department at 574-970-7460. They have separate numbers for all of their subsidiaries except Breckenridge/Damon.
  • As for the manual for your rig you might get a hold of the company. With that being said, each piece of equipment in your unit has its own manual. Gather as much info on each item, serial and model number go to mpg site and start searching
