I just came across a 1988 Okanagan B class Econoline 250. Is there anywhere where a person can get operator manuals for the RV. I'm having problems with the Hot Water heater and the fridge. The sticker on the heater is present but faded and I cannot determine the brand or model number of the unit although I know it is 6 gallons (propane only) with DSI. The fridge does have a pulse as the freezer was cold and after a couple of hours the fridge started to cool. Couple of hours later,,nothing. the van was not close to being level and I was wondering if this makes a huge difference in the operation of the fridge. Again it would be nice to have literature of all the aplliances. It seems to be the same Rv as the 1989 190B made by airstream who used the Okanagan platform.

"you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". That is pre genetic engineering thought.

I had a 1989 Falcon class b 350 with a 460 ci engine and I think a 456 ratio differential. The engine was fuel injected, ran regular gas and had a three speed automatic. My performance climbing up hills was a bit better than op's of course but would slow down significantly going up hills especially at higher elevations. I don't think op's rv performance is out of line. It is what it is and without spending a bunch of $$$ and incurring skinned knuckles along with having to use higher octane gas, I'd leave it alone. My friend used to tell me "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear".

Sure. Go out and write down brand, model, and serial numbers for each item. Then go online to each manufacturers web site and download them.
