The Bad News The older the RV the less chance you have to find an owners manual even IF it ever had one in the first place. The Good News If you are trying to learn about the operation and maintenance you can do several things. Go Camping and park next to someone that has a motorhome of similar size and year as yours. Be sure to introduce yourself and tell them you are new to the lifestyle… I’m sure they’d love to help. You can also go to a Camping World if one is nearby and ask them for their RV Orientation Service. For most repairs and maintenance you really don't need a specific owner’s manual. An engine/chassis manual should still be available from the manufacture. For example if you have a Class C motorhome built on a Ford van chassis you can get a manual for that year van from Ford. As for the 'home' or RV part of the motorhome a couple of good maintenance and repair books should answer most of your questions since nearly all RV are built using the same type of appliances and hardware. I hope this helps ~ Giovanni
