Hello everyone,
My husband and I are not new to camping but new to Forest River camping.
We recently purchased a 2006 38 ft' Salem Park Model and love it. Unfortunately it came with no owners manuals of any kind. I have found the generic manual on this forum and that has been helpful. I do hope to find more tips and tricks for all of the experienced folks here.

I have been going over the forum and have found several items of interest.

So glad to have found this forum.

you have a spot in the Tennessee River? Won't that be a little wet?
Will the current float your RV downriver? JK
Couldn't resist. Some of us goof around here.

Welcome to the forum.

no owners manuals of any kind
We bought our unit used and no owners manuals. Through this forum and web sites we were able to accumulate more than what likely came with the trailer. We spent time recording all the brands and model information that we could locate in our TT. We used this information to search the various manufacturers sites, most manuals are available online, or by sending the contact information a note requesting a manual.

I plan on doing what you mentioned. I like having the information there and hope we never need it. 😄
