Gifted a 1989 C Class

I was recently gifted a 1989 passport by cobra that had been stored in a field and seen better days.

I had never been inside an RV until i picked this up.. I purchased all new tired as I read how important those are and seeing how the RV was stored I figured it would be a good investment.

I was able to get the generator running, but honestly not sure how anything else works.

I heave searched online for the owner manual with no luck, would another 89 C Class manual provide me with enough information? Im trying to figure out what switches do what, how things work (sewage,water,a/c, fuse locations, breakers?) pretty much the basics.

Thanks
  • Most items in an old MH have manuals online. Ours had them inside of the MH.

    Getting an old MH like that can be a strong learning experience.

    New tires are a good thing but typically only after one learns where they are going to trash or keep it. If the answer to where it has been leaking or not often will determine if an old MH is worth keeping or going to be out disposal fees.
  • Hi,

    Are there signs of water leaks?

    What maker is the chassis?

    Is it gas or diesel?
