Greetings. We recently bought a 1999 Fleetwood Mallard 24 travel trailer. She's in great shape, but I have no owner's manual. Ideally I would like to find a SERVICE manual for this rig so I can have all the technical drawings since I am full DIY on this rig.

Anyone have any resources for old manuals?
 
Most RVs are like houses. You just have to figure them out. Of the three that I’ve owned as an adult and the two that my Dad had when I was a kid, there were no manuals other than the general handbook-style manual.

But service manuals existed at some point for the factory certified service technicians, and we have access to information now online at a scale that far exceeds what one could find through research even just 10-15 years ago. Somebody's gotta have something somewhere, no?

Possibly. But I have never seen one. I agree with you that it's strange to not have these printed (in the old days) or digital.
 
I'm not sure anything of detail is ever offered on any rigs.
This is why we have those private companies that offer "repair manuals" I believe.
I did keep with me all those additional catalogs that come with a new trailer on the installed equipment.
My rig is only a couple of years old, and I needed help replacing the front windshield that got cracked.
I spent countless hours trying to chase down a fix, finally calling the parent company to the manufacturer of my trailer. This windshield and model line was discontinued after my year, even though the same exact trailer, less the windshield, is offered but under a different model name.
She couldn't find my window even with her connections, but kept up the search and found it somehow by one of their vendors.....
Also.....since this kind of information is so lacking, I think it keeps sites like this viable :)
