I need roof framing blueprints for 08 Holiday Rambler Admiral 30sfs. I want to add a vent in the rear (bedroom). Called Manufacture was told they don't give out blueprints any longer. I would sure be grateful if somebody knew where I could find the drawings.
Thanks Raloma
As a lifelong carpenter, I would have zero interest in blueprints. I would however, use a digital stud finder, and maybe a really tiny drill bit to determine where the framing is. Other than that you can learn a lot with a telescoping mirror, and a flashlight, to see how ducting is run, and by removing ceiling light fixtures to see how wiring channels are run. I just wouldn't trust chopping a hole in the roof by relying on prints of how an RV was allegedly constructed a decade ago.
there have been a few horror stories here over the years of idiot techs. at dealers doing huge damage while adding additional AC units since they "thought" they knew what they were doing, or where the rafters were "supposed to be".
X2 and very well put.
I would rather do my own exploratory than trust some dusty old drawings for which there is no real need to adhere to by the manufacturer. That's is, there's no reason a manufacturer woud
have to follow their own drawings. Even the same RV's often have differing placement of such item.
