Manuals (for appliances)
I am wondering Why there I no manuals for the air conditioner and the microwave/convection. I have never had a heat pump or a convection oven.

Very frustrating the inconsistency in the way FR handles this. Some divisions appear to be better than others but none of them are good. Certainly none of them do what came with my Winnebago, two large bound manuals, one from Winnebago specific to my coach and all the component instructions information etc. The other large bound book contained all the manufactures information, again on all components.In addition, they matched; example if in book #1, section 3, a, was AC’s then Book #2 was the same.

Have you contacted your dealer?
You can also download the manuals from the manufacturer's websites.

How bad do you want them?
Also if you have a smart phone/tablet you can use the Coachmen App to access manuals. I included the one for the thermostat, you may need that one too to understand how to work the heat pump/furnace/air conditioning.
Biggest thing two things on the heat pump, it won't work below 40°F and it is a power hog, so don't try to run it and the microwave/electric water heater/fireplace at the same time.

Owners manuals are located her:
Forest River RV Online Owners Manuals
These are generic manuals and not specific to the GT 329DS.

You can also look at the unit, see the manufacturer and model of the unit, and go the manufacturers website and download the manual for the product from the website. Most manufacturers support their product and have the manual available for download (including my Ford F-53 motorhome chassis manual from the Ford website, very useful). I've gone through my camper, wrote down the info on almost everything in there, and downloaded the manual for it. My Ipad has the manuals and I can reference them if I need them.

Note: I have a 2016 Mirada but it was built on a 2015 Ford F53 chassis. Look at the stickers by the drivers seat to give you the manufacture date.

Ask your dealer for a build sheet one was delivered to them with the unit. It will list the make, model and serial # for every OEM appliance etc installed in your unit. You can then use the internet and go to the manufacturers website to get a manual. You should keep a copy of the build sheet in the unit and one at home. It will come in very handy when you need repairs or parts. Many times models change mid year so year is not a good gauge for the unit you have. You may have to push the dealer for the build sheet, but do it. If you cannot get one, Use a rainy cold day to open things in the unit and record the information from the individual units information plates. You will not be sorry for the effort.

At least they make them readily available online...
I have seen very few manufacturers outside of the high end DP's that have good manuals anymore. I think part of the problem comes with the constant change and upgrades they can't keep up. Writing manuals is a slow process.

As it appears the OP has a Georgetown in their sigline, the site team has moved this thread from the Coachmen subforum to the Georgetown subforum.

It shows a commitment to the client's and being in it for the long haul. Per my prior post, Winnebago does it for their Class C’s, so no it is not just the high-end DP’s.
