1997 Four Winds Class C Specification Data Help

My Wife and I have just purchased a 31 foot 1997 Four Winds Class C motor home, Model M-31QSB E40. It is on a Ford Super Duty Chassis and has the V10 engine.
We bought it from a lady who’s Husband had passed away and she no longer wanted/used the coach. She only had the information manuals to the appliances like microwave, water heater, air conditioner, furnace, water pump and fridge. Now this is great, but it would be nice a have an Owners Manual for the coach.
A specification sheet would be great, what I need most is tank-holding capacity for the black, grey and fuel tank. Weight ratings can be gotten off the driver’s side door sticker and there is a manufactures sticker on one of the wardrobe doors with LP and fresh water capacity. Any additional information that can be shared on this coach will be appreciated.

    Dalmationlovers, I did E-mail Thor and they did respond with the Owners manual, Thank you!
    BruceMc I also located the manufactures certificate in the closet, it has the Fresh water and LP capacities no grey or blank tank capacities.
    Thank You!
    Wgander, I will locate a chassis manual this should state the fuel tank capacity, Thank you!

    There should be an Owners Manual for the Ford and an Owners Manual for the Four Winds in addition to a manual for each appliance/device.
    The Four Winds Manual will probably be generic; for all Thor Class Cs.
    Even the appliance manuals are often for several models: take the time to identify each appliance by model and serial number so you know which pages to refer to in the manual.

    Look in one of the closets for a label on the wall.. ours is in the back bedroom. This label lists capacities and tow ratings. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
    The "Owner Manual" is for the Ford chassis. All other original material were with the coach when we bought it; if I recall, the Four Winds book is pretty generic.

    E-mail Thor and they will send you all the brochures you need via download. I did that for the spec sheet on my 03 Chateau and the next day I got one. If you need to know the specifics of your chassis go to a Ford dealership and have them run the vin#. I did that with my GM based chassis and now know all the specs on the chassis.

    As for holding tanks. My 26' has 30 fresh, 20 gray, and 25 black.
