Congratulations! It looks like a very nice unit from the picture.
Probably the coach is a 2009 motorhome built using a 2008 chassis. It should be titled, etc. as a 2009, but sometimes states or state employees get confused by the 2008 VIN number and the paperwork ends up being incorrect. You should be able to get it corrected; whether it's worth the effort or not is your own decision.
At least if my Coachmen class C is any indication, their manual is better than some but still quite generic and written for many different models. It might not have told you where the switch for the stairs was located. Included with my manual were documentation for all the individual appliances and other odds and ends that make up the motorhome. Most of those you probably can find online if you need them.
While it may seem overwhelming when you look at everything all together, it's really not as complicated as it appears at first because most of the systems work more or less in isolation from each other. You can learn things one at a time.
