Start by identifying your **model, production year and installed equipment**. HC1 Venture and HCT resources can differ by build; use the documents and component labels for your specific camper.

## Choose a starting point

- **HCT systems:** [Identify your water, power and comfort systems](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/hct-traveler-identify-your-water-power-and-comfort-systems/27) and [HCT component drawings](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/hct-component-drawings-galley-and-fridge-cube-panel/33).
- **Venture overview:** [Venture video gallery](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/hc1-venture-aerial-videos/41) and [model comparison FAQ](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/new-buyer-faq-hc1-studio-venture-adaptiv-and-towing/36). Confirm the model year and configuration shown before applying it to your camper.
- **Interior planning:** [Adaptiv® Layout Lab guide](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/plan-your-camper-with-the-adaptiv-layout-lab/56).
- **Operation and maintenance:** [FAQs by camper system](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/start-here-technical-faq-by-camper-system/54).
- **Manuals:** [Find the guide for your model and production era](https://happiercamper.discourse.group/t/find-the-right-guide-for-your-camper-model-production-era-and-equipment/39).

When asking a question, include the model/year, a clear description of the issue, and photos of the relevant controls or component label. Keep VINs and personal details private.
