Any chance I can find an old manual? Suggestions?

We just bought a 1984 Executive, any chance we'll find a manual for it? Any suggestions on where to look, or another manual that may work for us? Google isn't being very nice; I'm finding nothing :/
  • Generally the owners manuals for a Motorhome are very ineffective for helping you.
    You will be better off looking for each individual manual separately.
    The MH company included them originally to help you so you can still find most of them on the net somewhere.
    FInd your make and model engine, stove, water heater, generator etc and the manual will be online somewhere.
    The first place I would look is http://bryantrv.com/docs.html.
  • First> check the drawers along side the bed. This is the common place previous owners put the manuals. I found all my manuals in the bedroom side drawers.

    Second > check inside the closet on the side wall. That is where you will find the specifications sheet which will give all the specs of your MH. This is placed there by the manufacturer.

    I'm trying to find information on the air bag suspension. I have no clue how it works.

    I will second looking for appliance/device manuals rather than the "House" manual.. Hopefully by this time in your life you already know how to wash and wax the exterior, and the interior as needed. (Interior is no different than a stick house) anything useful like where to run another coax cable.. NOT going to be in the manual.

    Page 2: Two books you might find helpful (one or the other, You do NOT need both) one is, as best I recall The RV Owner's Handbook, and the other The RV Book.. one is a woodall's product and thus you should find at Camping world, the other.. (Well both actually) other places.

    Generic owner's manuals, also cover many appliances. Just read the chapters that apply.
