Looking for owners Manual for Vanguard 5th Wheel

Looking for an owners manual for a 2002 or 2003 Vanguard model W25RLSSL 5th wheel trailer manufactured by Peak Manufacturing of North Battleford Sask Canada. They are no longer in business
  • We have a Kodiak fifth wheel, also made by Peak Manufacturing. It is a similar vintage and similar size to the Vanguard you are looking for. I could scan a page or two from the manual if there is something specific you are looking for or, alternatively, I can look up something specific for you. The manual mostly deals with winterizing, safety checks, etc. while all the appliances and attachments have their own manuals in the package which came with the unit.

    PM me if I can help.
  • One of our members, Chris Bryant, has generously provided a link to his webpages that contain manuals for many RV related items. You will probably find the manuals you need for all your appliances at this link.

    I agree with the comments above about rig manufacturers manuals being very generic and almost useless.

  • My new trailer came with a packet of manuals for the individual appliances like "the bear" said. the only thing about the specific trailer was a print out of the floor plan and some photos.
  • The above pretty much sums it up for my 2007 Montana.
  • Most manuals are pretty generic and only contain very basic information. The manufacturers would usually provide a packet with the basic manual along with individual manuals for each appliance and devices installed in the RV.

    So things like the heater, air conditioner, awning, radio, stove, fridge and other would have their own manuals. These can be found by searching the internet using the model number of the appliance or device.

    If you have specific needs like a wiring diagram it will be tough to find that. Axle info is usually on a metal band wrapped around the axle(s).

    Others on this forum may be able to provide additional details.
