Nifty-looking unit. Hope some Falcon people weigh in with answers.
Seems like there have been some on the forum. Did you do a search yet in the Class B forum? Maybe you can find another owner and send a private message to get their attention.
Meanwhile, have fun!
Ummmm......isn't THIS the Class B forum? Seriously, I've got an '89 Coachmen Horizon. Mines on a GMC chassis and it's a shorter version of yours. A little tip, if you trip, don't try to catch yourself on that lip over the front seats. It pulls out several feet. (Don't ask me how I know this!) Your refrigerator may have been changed over the years. Open the door and look along the bottom of the unit. There may be a knob or tang in front of a box that says electric. You can turn the knob to select power. Mine is two way. Mine says gas or electric with OFF between them.
My unit isn't exactly the same as yours but a manufacturer won't change too much between similar models to keep parts and design costs down.
A few more tips. Measure the highest point on your unit. Mine is 9'2. Put a label over the windshield with a few more inches so a mechanic doesn't drive through McDonalds and top it. I've got 9'6 over my windshield.
It will drive pretty much like any other Ford van from that year. EXCEPT for windy days. Strong cross winds make it really.....interesting.....to drive. I changed lanes a couple of times without meaning to before I got used to it.
If you cover it, make sure the cover is breathable. Before I got it, mine was covered and when a really cold spell rolled in, the moisture condensed inside and stained the walls.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
