I also just opened up links to the electrical and plumbing catalogs. Could be that you may have had you leg pulled a little?

Perhaps they may discontinue the e-catalogs at some point but I haven't heard anything.

I haven't. Why would they want to do that? It saves them time and money and they put the reference material online for the owners.

I have no Idea why they would do that but I heard that it would happen at the end of the month.

I wouldn't hear of anything one way or the other, but if you are concerned with this happeneing, try saving (downloading) a local copy of them if you have a laptop or desktop PC. I do that anyway and keep them and all of my manuals, etc. in PDF format all in one folder for easy access on my home PC. The files are accessed faster, you don't need an internet connection and it prevents worrying about when they will remove the information from the web. When I hit the road, I just copy the whole folder on to my laptop (you can do it to a CD/DVD also) and I'm ready to go. I keep the Winnebago big black "bible bag" in basement storage in case I want to flip pages or for some other reason need them.

"There is no truth to this rumor. As a matter of fact, we are looking into adding diagrams for our older models to the site. I don't know yet if the older stuff is going to be transferable."

Let's put this rumor to rest.
