finding a copy of an owners manual

Hi,we just bought a used 1997 Fleetwood Terry L Series 24LZ travel trailer. It is in great shape but we don't have any of the owners manuals. We have done some searches on line but have not found anything. Does anyone know where to find the manuals? Thanks.
  • Thanks, all of this has been very helpful we really appreicate it. I have the owners manual now, and I will try to get the manuals from all the appliances too.
    Thanks again,

        This thread is 11 years old and the OP really hasn't been on here since. You may have more luck posting your question in a new thread. 

         

  • Search for individual component manuals by model/brand of that component. (Fridge, heater, etc.)

    The manuals that the trailer manufacturers make are rather generic and contain very little useful information. They do not contain any info on the appliances, but they include the individual manuals from the appliances in the information packet.

    For the appliance manuals (these ARE the important manuals to have) you need to locate the manufacturer name and model number of each appliance and do a internet search using the name and model number. You will find most RV appliance manuals online often in PDF form.
  • Here is a link to several good websites that have manuals available.

    This one is the website of one of our members Chris Bryant.
    I think you will find manuals for most of the popular RV appliances.
    Bryant RV Service Co. manuals

    This one has technical manuals at the bottom of the page for Carefree awnings.
    Carefree Awning manuals

    Here is a website that has a lot of very helpful RVing articles.
    Marxrv Technical Articles

    Hope this helps you out.

  • Go through the trailer and find the serial and model numbers for every appliance. Then when you download the manuals for them you will know exactly what it is ie. btu's, capacity, etc. Keep all manuals in trailer in case you need them on the road.
