    Shop Manual

    For those of you that have seen the 151MB shop manual file named US.RV, you know what an indispensable tool it can be. The only problem with it is it's size. It's too big to post or email. We set up a mega upload transfer in the past but it only stays online for a short time.

    I was able to convert the file to a more standard pdf format & turn off the security features but it's still 132MB. What this allows me to do however is chunk it up into sections. For instance, I just got through saving the 92 pages of the SRS section to a seperate file that is only 500KB (which can be posted).

    If you need specific sections of the manual pulled out for any reason, just lemme know. I'd be happy to post them to the site as needed.

    BTW, even zipped, the US.RV file is 126MB.

    you could put it in a "dropbox" then post here to anyone who wants it.. send an invite to DropBox.com.... no? I dropbox huge stuff all the time. I suppose it would be a pain, if doing invites to all vx'ers.. lol.. maybe to just my mechanic who thought my proton was a 2013 rodeo.. ugh..

    Could something that big be posted to Photobucket or other hosting website?

    Seems like I have a huge amount of space on Photobucket now. Hard to imagine my ever filling it up.

    DropBox won't work. Requires you to DL software that I'm not allowed to do at work. I could do it from home but you'll have to bump sump'n off of wifey's honeydo list. Let me know how THAT works out for ya.

    Ifn you need a copy of the whole thing, lemme know. I can find another site to post it to ... one more time.

    I just uploaded it to:

    https://vehicross.sharefile.com

    The password is VehiCross2000

    It's a 30 day free trial so I assume that you'll need to download it before 7 Dec when it disappears.

    OK. You just do that little thing. Download it from where I posted it. Upload it to your FTP. Others can DL from your URL (convolution - thou art an evil bitch).

    Actually, many thanks. A permanent residence for the file would be fantastic since somebody asks for it about once every 6 months or so.

    BTW, this is NOT the file that I converted. I'll post the other file as well so that you can chose which copy you want to post.

    EDIT:

    Both copies now posted.

    No problem at all, anything I can do to give back. Also, if you want to break them down by sections, I can also store them in a sub category with the full manual. Which would make it easier for someone that just needs a quick look at a specific section as you mentioned.
