If that were the concern, GS could require a waiver and also have a waiver statement in the documentation itself. That is a really weak argument. If you go out to the Winnebago site and browse around, you will find wiring and plumbing diagrams for numerous models and the detail on these drawings is stunning.

At one time, car manufactures restricted access to service manuals for their vehicles. This restricted non-dealer mechanics and driveway mechanics from being able to properly service the vehicle and therefore force the owner to go to the factory dealer service center (sound familiar). This practice has since been abandoned and one can obtain full DVD service guides (on eBay) on a vehicle. I would suspect this was done as a result of a lawsuit...but maybe it was just good customer service...

Many of us have heard the reasons (excuses) for GS not releasing this info to owners (proprietary info, legal liability, etc.) but none of them really hold water.

If you are not a DIYer you may think that this should not matter to you since you will always and forever take your rig into a service facility. But, what happens when you are out in the middle of BFE and the only RV service place around has never seen your pretty little GS rig before...would you like to be his guinea pig as he pokes around to see what wires are what and where the plumbing lines are run and how...wouldn't you rather hand him a set of drawings and documentation? And if not for that reason, how about the fact that it will prob make the 4 hour job 2 hours...at $90-$125 an hour those drawings and documentation are beginning to sound pretty good, aren't they?
