Looking for original 1987 M-19E Prowler manual

Hello all! First time inquirer here, hoping to find some guidance. Would love to get my hands on an original owner/user manual for my 19 foot 1987 Prowler I bought last year.

Am in the middle of attempting some renovations and would love to see all the systems visualized individually like manuals typically would. Kinda bought a bit of a lemon, and have no idea where the fresh water tank is located or it it’s completely missing. :S

Appreciate any leads! I’m totally fine with a PDF version if I can’t get my hands on a physics copy also, just having a hard time finding either.

      Have you read the other comments? Manuals if you can find them are generic and not specific enough to be helpful. If you have specific questions about your model, start a new topic and ask them.

        People don’t read comments or use their brains. The googler has dumbed everyone down. Some worse than others. 
        I may not actually be able to communicate with Gen Alphas or Betas when they become pseudo adult age. 
        Although we have been getting a lot of methy kind of questions lately…..”I just bought a 36 year old pos camper and the power went out when I was replacing the rotten floor”. 
        Them folks ain’t RVers, they’re generally, ummm how do we say it in our Sanctuary City here, uhhh… “un-housed.”

    I think I had a 1988 year of that model. If that is the model i had, there is a fold out couch I. the front. The fresh water tank is under that couch.

    Easy enough to find where the fresh water tank is, walk around the outside and look for the gravity feed point, may have a small lid or similar to cover it. Most tanks are either under the bed or under one of the bench seats.

    The manuals for Travel trailers are generic. They will not include specific locations or diagrams for much.
    Owners manual packages are usually a collection of specific manuals for items in your trailer. ie; a manual for the fridge, another for the furnace, etc. Those individual item manuals can often be found from whomever built that item be it Dometic , Atwood, or whoever.
    As to finding out which tank is which, follow the lines from the drain valves, black and grey have the big dump lines and valves which should be marked, fresh wont.
    Good luck.
