Hello from Central California

New here with a 2002 Mountaineer 335RBLS. Not new to RVs, other unit is an Artic Fox 22H. I bought this Montana recently for my daughter to live in full time. She’s in a resort area at 5500’ elevation in the Sierras and there is very little available housing and what there is is extremely expensive so she’s going to live in this. Has a nice space in a small private park 1/8 mile from a lake and near work if and when this shelter in place order gets lifted.
It’s 18 years old but owner was good on maintenance, new E rated tires, battery, furniture and very clean inside and out.
I’ve just brought it home where I have it parked in the street while I check out the systems before I take it up to her in 2 days. Everything looks great but I can’t find the power center/breakers. Didn’t get a manual and the previous owner is unavailable to ask, Keystone national service center is affected by shelter in place order and is only taking emails and advised responses will be slow.
I’ll post the question in the appropriate section, hopefully someone can point out the obvious to me.

Small world; thanks to all. I have to be looking for Montana RVs when I’m out. With my Artic Fox owners are very friendly, wave and often chat when meeting up.
I found the breaker panel, right in front of my eyes; it’s next to the access panel/supply air for the furnace and I thought it was part of that. If it were a snake it’d bit me

Below is a link to the manual that would likely have come with your 2002 Keystone trailer but will likely not be specific enough. If you want more documentation document the manufacturer, model and serial number of the trailer's equipment then download their manual. I am currently doing that on my 2020 Keystone trailer and writing a supplemental operating and maintenance manual to augment Keyston's manual.

Yes, I saw that on the manufacturer’s website, hoping when they reopen I can get a more specific one. Seems like the water pump is under the trailer (?) and I can’t find any pop off fittings to drain down the water system yet but am still looking.
Once I get it to permanent location I will hope to see more.
Question about slide rooms: When leaving them extended for 6 months would it be good to brace underside without jack stands?

I am sure there will be opinions/experience from the forum. The following threads shine some light on whether they are needed and their pros and cons:

Welcome! Where if you don't mind will she be located? No need to be exact, general location?
