So... I read thru the entire online Pebble Flow Owner's Guide. Overall seems pretty well done with good info.
A few comments... just my take... your mileage may vary.
And note, I DO NOT yet have my trailer in front of me to review each of these items in person (still trying to arrange shipping - coast-to-coast)... so no doubt many of these comments might be different if I was able to look at my trailer while reading the Guide:
1. A little light on images, especially regarding the iPad interface. Fairly straightforward, but when describing user interfaces, in my experience (as a retired IT and Tech Writer guy), images can be helpful.
2. Lots of troubleshooting information on various components, which is great. But quite a few possible issues come down to the solution of "Contact the Pebble service team for assistance", which I will definitely do. It is a high tech product with limited real-world experience so far... probably to be expected.
3. Seems pretty good coverage of 'Danger', 'Warning', 'Caution', and 'Notice' items to try to keep owners safe, trailers undamaged, and everyone out of trouble.
4. Very detailed descriptions in some areas (like 'Understanding Tire Markings'), and less descriptions in other areas (like 'Maintenance of the Water Heater'). As long as under Pebble Warranty, all good... but after that, it would be nice to have additional information to support maintenance and repairs (but also see item x,. below).
5. Details throughout regarding how to clean and what type of products to use to clean almost every interior surface. Oddly, not a word about best practices/products for cleaning the exterior surfaces or 'glass' (polycarbonate?), or for that matter the interior bathroom glass. Cleaning is not typically rocket science, of course, but especially the 'glass' or black material covering the windows could be a unique formulation and I really don't want to screw it up. Some best practices or warnings on what to use or not use on that would be good to have.
6. Nice to have lots of black/white drawings of the trailer pointing out locations of various features and maintenance items. Many of these are items (drain valves, etc.) on the undercarriage. Some of the images are paired with photo images that provide additional detail, and in some cases that is enough. Some of the images are only drawings and could use photo images for clarity. But even where photo images are provided, many are fairly small, zoomed in pretty close, and/or are not particularly high resolution, so it can be hard to make out details. Personally I think a few high definition images (maybe full page) of the entire Pebble undercarriage, with detail call-outs to identify the various referenced features would be helpful and would help provide additional clarify.
7. Detail images/descriptions regarding the multiple fuse/breaker panels in the trailer. Nothing regarding steps to take if fuses blow or breakers trip. Would probably just make sense to have at least a few words about troubleshooting steps even if it is just "If a fuse blows or a breaker trips repeatedly, 'Contact the Pebble service team for assistance' ".
8. Really nice to finally get some specific manufacturer/model information on many of the various components Pebble is using. Under 'Supplier Documentation' there are links to manufacturer information on all the items below. I did notice some poor reviews regarding the Water Heater... with worrisome issues like "leaked water" and "could have caught on fire". Sounds like that may be an issue with various brands, but concerning for me.
