Does anyone of our Podders have a service manual for the 2010 RT177 other than the River Forest Owners manual that we all got.  Also would like to see a wiring diagram for the trailer.
If so, where did you get it? 
Thanks everyone.

I've never seen a service manual or a wiring diagram for any trailer.  There are, of course, individual manuals for the various appliances.  You should have received the owners manuals and perhaps installation manuals for your appliances.

Trailers are built more like houses as opposed to cars.  There's some leeway for those working on the factory floor.  Wires and pipes may be run slightly differently from trailer to trailer.

I recently contacted Forest River about some details of the framing layout of my 173T. I received a response and the information I needed  from a very nice woman by the name of Amber Wilson. I hope she doesn't mind me giving out her contact information but she was of great help. Her email address is awilson@forestriverinc.com  Tel. 574-642-3119 x 208
 
Hopefully you'll receive the same customer service I received.
 
 
Happy camping!

I have done a bunch of 12 volt wiring on my 177 and I can tell you there is not much rhyme or reason to their wiring. They definitely don't get graded on it, as it's sloppy and a total mess. Most of the 12 volt is all the same color 2 conductor white with a white/orange tracer. Unless it is for the heater, pump, etc, it's all the same.
