Poorly written RV MANUALS

I have spent the past couple of weeks reading through all the manuals that came with our 2016 Venture Sonic. I have come to the following conclusions: Most individual device manufacturer manuals are great. Full of detail, plenty of drawings.
The manuals for the camper as a whole suck. This was true with the StarCraft Gemini I had also, but at least it did include a schematic of the wiring! The Venture manual is the worst I have ever seen. NOWHERE is there a schematic of the DC or AC electrical, or the cable/satellite wiring, or the Zamp Solar wiring or the plumbing, gas or water. The manual is mostly WARNINGS...

Now I do industrial process control electrical by trade, so I can figure this out, but really? No schematic? How is the dealer supposed to work on it if he doesn't know how things are wired and ran? Maybe they get the Super Secret, not be be trusted to a simple RV owner, manual? :R

Umm.. You don't get electrical schematics when you buy a sticks and bricks home, right? Heck you don't even get any drawings of the building..

Buy a car, the manufacturer does not hand you a schematic, right?

Buy a TV, they don't give you a schematic, right?

How about your computer, cell phone, Ipad..

Really in the scheme of things, unless it is a motor home typical RV wiring is bone stock basic stuff.. No need for a schematic.. If you need a schematic to troubleshoot a RV then you are way over your head..

Your appliance manuals are really more valuable than a schematic of the RV it's self.
