new member trying to find operating manual for 2011 3585SA
Hi, members
my wife and I just purchased a 2011 3585SA. we live upstate NY & won't pick it up till end of march, beginning of april. Had a 39' Damon previously but left rving for a while due to business. Bought a bumper pull 38' avenger but was never realy happy with it. finally convinced my wife to look at a 5th wheel again, found a good deal along with decent trade in value for avenger, finished purchase tuesday, 2/11/2020. no charge to leave it at dealer till spring & they are installing a reese sidewinder hitch for us. first trip is fairly local Memorial day weekend. am trying to find some kind of manuals pertaining to the equipment on the montana. any help would be appreciated.
thanks Jim

Welcome
Make sure you get a good walkthrough when you pick it up. I would call them a few days ahead of time and have them put a battery charger on it so you can test everything if you have not already done so.
Here are a few useful links.
Keystone Owners videos
https://www.keystonerv.com/owners/
Owner manual, scroll down to 2011.

Facebook groups
Keystone Montana RV Owners Group
Montana RV Owners Group
Of course Google and YouTube.

The Keystone manual has little to no information on specific systems or appliances in the rig. Once you have the trailer in your possession, get model numbers and brands of of everything you can get to and go to the separate web sites to download those manuals. You might get lucky and find the manuals inside, but being used, that is unlikely.

Take a good look through the cabinets and cupboards. The previous owner may have left the various pubs there.
The 'standard' Keystone owner's manual is so general that it's close to useless
If they aren't in a cupboard, virtually every item manual/IB is available on the internet including anything Dexter such as the brakes, suspension and axle.
Good luck with your new to you rig

a manual? really? there isn't a 'manual' on any trailers. just get the dealer to go over the trailer with you and ask the questions here.
good luck

Thanks to all who replied. You're correct about the owners manuals except for specs. I,m sure I'll figure it out & we will get a walk thru & inspection when we schedule pickup. Already checked all storage in unit. Does anyone have idea about availability of Easyset remote. Is it worth pursuing?
We also have a couple of "Poodle pups".

As stated above, manuals for your appliances are available on line and I've downloaded all of mine and keep them in a file on my computer. The dealer should show you how your systems work and while he's doing it make a video on your phone so you can refer back to that later. Welcome to the forum! I hope you find us of value.

Google might be your best friend on the Easy Set remote. Looks like there are several items with that name.
Aren't poodles a bunch of fun. Our two minis sure are .

Welcome to the MOC from a neighbor to the north.
Agree with what's been said regarding manuals. You'll have better luck with individual appliances and equipment. Forget the Keystone manual, nothing there. I have gotten my best info from this forum. Lot's of willing help here.
Who did you purchase from? Dealer or private owner? Just curious.
Hoping you have many good times with this rig.
