First, welcome to the forum. We're happy to have you join us and hope you find RVing to be all that you hope it will be.

As for the owner's manual. Keystone (really most RV manufacturers) produce a "generic, one size fits all" manual that covers most of the basics for any travel trailer. There is no "model specific or brand specific" owner's manual on any Keystone travel trailer.

As for the "covers them all" manual goes, you can download a copy of the manual at this website: https://www.keystonerv.com/owners/owners-manuals/

You'll find links to the current manuals and a "pull down tab" (Owner's Manual Archive). Click on that tab and you'll find many of the older versions of the Keystone manual. The one that would be closest to your 2008 Hornet would be the 2005 version. The next newest is 2010 and while much of it will still apply, as things change, the old is removed and the new replaces that information, so the 2010 may address features that weren't even being included in the 2008 trailers.

As for information on "who, what, when, why, where" if you have any questions, post them in a new thread on the forum and I'm sure someone will either have an answer or will tell you where to go to find the information.

Again, welcome to the forum.

Hi, thank you for the quick reply! Yes, I did find the 2005/2010 version on the website, I didn’t know which one to refer to or if there was a 2008, now I know! We are excited, it is stationary on a campsite lot so we will not be traveling but, yes, I have and will have so many questions!

Thanks again.

Hi guys!

We also have a 2008 Hornet, was hoping you could help answer a few questions we have about some issues?

I got an email that Logan X responded, can't see it but some of my issues/questions:

When we bought this trailer a few years back, our heat/hot water stopped working after a month or so. Any idea/troubleshoot that may help us?

We also had a shower pipe burst because we haven't used our shower since we don't have hot water. which flooded our living room/kitchen. We had an installed dinette table and it warped it, looking for advice on where we can find a decently priced one so we don't lose sleeping space?

Some more information would be helpful. Do you have adequate supply of propane? Does the stove/oven work? What happened when the wh and furnace failed? What happens when you try to use them? Does you're wh have an electric element? As for the dinette table you might consider checking a local woodworker or cabinet shop and see if they can reproduce it.
