1990 Class A, 460 Ford Vision by Rexhall- maintenance
I'm finding that though the previous owner had documentation on expenses totalling many thousands on this coach, very little went for the drivetrain. No recent oil change and I find very little oil on the tip of the dipstick. I did find the power steering reservoir and there was no fluid on the dipstick.
Of course I'm changing the oil and filter right away, but I can't locate where and how to check the brake fluid and where to locate the coolant return bottle. No sign of a radiator cap either! I have removed the cover on top of the doghouse but it looks like I will have to take out the whole doghouse to change the engine air filter; as of now I can see the back of it but can't service it with just the top cover of the doghouse off.
I called the Rexhall factory today. They were very pleasant but could not help me other than offer to sell me a "generic" manual, not specific for this rig.
Any advice on where to search would be appreciated, thanks!

PS--I will climb under tonight to try to find the master cylinder...
