Maintenance and operation manual

HI,
I am looking for a general maintenance and operation book/manual.
The books with my Rainier are vague. It is also hit and miss to get info from the manufacturers.
For example, I have had trailers before but didn't know to replace the tires every 5 years or so. Rather than getting info a drip at a time it would be nice to be able to look up schematics, recommended roof maintenance, winterizing, etc...
Amazon has dozens of books, but rather than pick one at random, I was hoping someone had a maintenance and operation book they recommend.

I have started a checklist for travel and parking, but still have questions like how many amps do the outside outlets support, wiring for solar or rear camera, upgrades, etc...
My guess is that people have figured out much of this before, so I would rather not reinvent the wheel.

Thanks

There is no such thing for your specific RV. The generic owners manual is the RV Industry standard.

X2 what bikendan said. The easy to tell what your outside plugs can handle is look at your breaker panel circuit breakers I wold say you will find a 15 amp breaker controlling that circuit. There is a ton of information in the forum library I know not a book like you are thinking about, with that said the information about other rigs is easy applied to your rig things tend to be common on these units.
