2013 Cardinal 3550RL

Hi ALL, Looking for a 2013 Users manual for a Forest River Cardinal 5th Wheel 3550RL. Just purchased my 1st 5th wheel and need to understand how everything works, especially the electric control panels. Can anyone help? Bob B.

The only owners manual is a generic one with no model-specific nor brand-specific information.
This is the standard in the RV Industry.
If you want, you can download the one on FR's website but it only has basic RV system information.
There is no manual specific to your model.

We’ve owned several RV’s over several years. Even our Newmar Mountain Aire had generic manuals. Mostly for appliances etc. You could probably see a specific item in the brochure and google it for instructions.

Good morning! Agreed that our owner's manuals are rather generic. I can say that we are working to change that. But it doesn't help you. If you reach out to me with your VIN, I can provide you with model #s of appliances. With that information, we can find manuals for the appliances. You can reach me at acarpenter@forestriverinc.com or on my direct line at (574) 367-3312.

Thanks!
