1985 Champion Transtar

I originally posted this topic on another existing thread because I did not know where to post it. Anyway here goes:

A close friend of mine purchased a 1985 Champion Transtar RV/Motor-home.
He is in the process of restoring the unit but has been unable to find a owners manual.

I told him I would post it on this forum with the hopes that someone could help.

Thank You.

Seriously doubt that anyone can help if there's no description about what the problem is, especially for a non-FR product that's 35 years old from a company hasn't existed for many years.

Google search Champion Transtar RV and Champion Transvan RV. I saw a link for a 1984 Champion Transtar RV manual listed.

You can separately search for the components of the RV. (Stove, water heater, furnace, etc.)

i tried to use the "Thanks" reply and ran out of space, I guess.

Sorry for the late response. I was waiting for a notification from the forum for a posting. I got one then nothing more. I forgot that after the first notification you need to check on your own. So I missed seeing your post.

Anyway Thanks for the info. I had previously searched GOOGLE but drew a blank. This time I used your wording and a manual did come up on eBay. It was gone already but there was a suggestion for another one. I passed the info on to my buddy and I hope he will be able to use it. Right now he's in the process of putting another engine in the RV.

As for the component manuals/literature, I was aware of that. One of the first things I do for my own Camper is to download as many component manuals as I can find. I keep them in a three ring binder (actually it takes 2 thick ones) and keep it in the camper.
