Trouble Shooting Tree/ Flow Chart

Not sure of correct name but ,have worked with charts that stepped you thru problem solving .ie. "I have no hot water" etc.
So ,with all the incredible info and data that the forum has why can't Airstream or a third party put it together. A Great help for new and seasoned owner's.
I know we can search here,however it is difficult to find sometimes. If i had the talent and time i would start. I have neither.
Would be great to have in owner's manual ? LOL.

I think it's a great idea. For example, one of the biggest problems is floor rot due to the outrageously poor design of the junction of the back bumper, rubrail, frame C-channel, and the subfloor.

But what often happens is human nature, that after a person has found and fixed their problem, they tend to stop thinking about it.

Great idea, in the uttermost simplistic sense, but very difficult to execute due to the many thousands of different models, floor plans, model years (going back to the 1950's), inconsistent appliance models/years, etc. etc.

If you can control for all the many thousands of variables, no prob . . .



Not to mention that the lack of quality control during the assembly at Jackson Center, appears to include, for instance, a floor worker grabbing any water pump that is on the shelf, even if the specified/correct water pump is out of stock.

How do you design the flow chart's computer code to include such randomly chaotic moves during assembly through the decades?



Good luck!

Peter

PS -- Actually, this forum might be considered to be an organic -- very much alive -- problem solving flow chart of sorts, as it includes all of the bio-computers working on the problem! . . . which includes some very old databases residing locally in some very old human brains! Talk about dispersed camping . . .



PS2 -- anticipating the flood of "who you callin' old" comments . . .
