Georgetown Manuals

I purchased my 2011 Georgetown 378TS Class A motorhome new from a dealer in Lake City, Florida. The "Manual" I was given is pathetic. It consisted of a few copied pages of very general information that would apply to almost any motorhome. There are no diagrams showing how the TV cables are routed. There are no electrical diagrams of any kind. In short, as I said, the information that I have is pathetic. Is there any hope of obtaining better documentation? Thanks in advance for your advice.

I just purchased a new 2013 351DSF and I didn't get any electrical diagrams or the likes. Just the component manuals and such. There was one generic Forest River 76 page manual which went over all the basics of all their coaches (Diesel through Class C). I believe those can be had here: Forest River RV Customer Service

Welcome setinole to the club!
Yes we all agree the book is worthless but you ar ein luck because we have lots of folks that can answer almost any question you have.
I have a 2012 378TS and have been top to bottom withit so if you have any problems or questions ask away.
I also have a lot of Ford docs on your frame, engine and drive train.
We also can suggest what you need to for maintenance.

So welcome and let the questions start.
Have a great Day!

generic owner's manuals are pretty much the standard, with most RV manufacturers.
very few provide anything like what you're looking for.

most of the manuals aren't even RV type-specific, let alone model-specific.

Hi, I have an 08 georgetown xl378ts and one of the first things I did was call and e-mail anyone I could get phone numbers or e-mail addresses for. I finally got what I wanted, a box with every manual and schematic for my coach. The box has to weigh 20lbs.
Came UPS and it was free. Since then I managed to get my hands on many more schematics for all wiring both 110V & 12V.
Bottom line is if anyone needs any info drop me a line and I'll try to get it to you.
Happy Camping

I have a 2011 Georgetown M378TS. I need a wiring schematic. My slides are dead and I have checked all fuses and breakers. New batteries, new 12v motor that runs hydrolic pump. Do you have a manual I can have?

Vettgrl, this thread is over 4 years old. The OP never came back after the one post and never posted again.

The owners manual is generic and has no model-specific or brand-specific information.
You can download the current FR owners manual from the website.
It won't be much different than the 2011 one.

You might PM JDickson about the schematics but he hasn't posted for over 2 years.

Or try to PM Iggy, who's an active member.
