First, please understand this most important sentence: In the RV industry, there is no such thing as ‘standard’!
All RV’s are different, even the same make, year, size and model vehicle will have different appliances, accessories and parts. There is no data base to see what the manufacture installed on your vehicle on the particular day that it rolled out of the factory. Even the manufacture will not know what they installed that day. This goes for every item on your vehicle, whether it is plumbing, appliances, door knobs, vents, electrical, lights, etc. Manuals for your particular vehicle are generally not available, and if they are they are so generic that the information contained is not very useful.
The important thing is that you look very close at the part needed then accurately describe to our sales associate what YOU need. Unfortunately we can not tell you what you have!
We always recommend that each RV owner keep all paperwork, manuals, etc. with the exact make, model and serial number of the appliance or accessory written on the papers. This is often kept in a file or loose-leaf for easy reference. Most operation manuals are generic in nature, describing basic operations and installation of several different models. When seeking a specific part you need to know the exact make and model of the appliance. Often the same make and model underwent changes so a serial and production number may also be needed to accurately find the part you need.
Sometimes the part or accessory needed is not readily apparent. In this case you might want to take a digital picture (take several if possible) and bring it in to us. This does not always work because often different models look identical. If a manufacture used one brand and model of appliance or accessory then ran out of the brand during production, they get another brand and install it without any reserve. To sum it up, everything on your RV is not standard, even if you feel that it is. There is no computer than can look up what you have. It is not like the auto industry, it is more like “what the builder put in your house that day”.
