Help From The
Manufacturer

Several RV manufacturers have specific ways to obtain manuals.  Try these first.  If they do not have the manual you need, just let us know and we will be more than happy to post your request.

Pop-up Campers:  The site, PopUpPortal.com has lots of manuals in PDF format.  Please check for your manual.  If they do not have what you need, please let us know and we will be happy to post the request.  If you find a pop-up manual from another person or source, please let them know so they can add it to their library.


ChampionAlthough not an official "manufacturer's" site, Champion Fleet Owners has quite a collection of Champion manuals and assorted publication that they are happy to share.  Please contact them.  Remember, if you find a Champion manual or any information (publications, ads, magazine articles, specifications, etc.) concerning Champion RVs, please make sure they get a copy.


Coachmen:  Coachman offers owner manuals as well as several other excellent publication.  Go to their web site, http://www.coachmenrv.com/owners/ and follow the options


Fleetwood:  For Owners Manuals, brochures and schematics (some things available for download) please go to the Fleetwood RV site (http://www.fleetwoodrv.com/contact/).  Select the type of RV you have and call the appropriate toll free number.


Forest River:  I spoke with a very nice gentleman at Forest River RV and he said all requests for owners manuals should be sent to mrmiller@forestriverinc.com.  Michelle will direct them to the correct division (they have 46) and they will send you the manual you need.  He also indicated they are working on their web site so manuals can be obtained online - coming soon!!!  Thanks Forest River, we appreciate your help.


Jayco:  I contacted a very nice lady at Jayco and she gave me two avenues you can follow to obtain an owners manual.  You can send an e-mail requesting the manual to service@jayco.co.  Be sure to include the last 8 digits of your RVs serial number.  Or, you can call 1-800-283-8267 (customer service) and request a manual.  Again, you will need the last 8 digits of the serial number.  Thank you Jayco.

Monaco (Holiday Rambler):  An RV friend sent us the following:
I just wanted to pass on some information about Holiday Rambler (Monaco National Parts)

I just recently purchased a 1976 Holiday Rambler Imperial 5000 Mini Motor Home and of course it didn’t come with any owner’s manual for the coach. I contacted Monaco National Parts at 1-877-466-6226 and they were able to provide me a photo copy of the original owner’s manual for $25.00 plus shipping. I think it’s a good price as I’ll probably save at least that much in not damaging the RV systems by knowing how to properly operate them, not to mention troubleshooting and repair information.  

Please add Monaco (Holiday Rambler) to your manufacturer’s list as they seem to be very willing to help me out and maybe others into RV’ing can benefit too.   Thanks,

Shasta:  Although not an official "manufacturer's" site, Bev has quite a collection of Shasta manuals and assorted publication that she is happy to share.  Please contact her.  Remember, if you find a Shasta manual or any information (publications, ads, magazine articles, specifications, etc.) concerning Shasta, please make sure she gets a copy.  She is particularly interested in 70s and 80s Shasta materials.


Starcraft:   I just wanted to tell everyone looking for a Starcraft manual to call 1-260-593-2550 ex 215, I called and they are sending one out for me today free of charge.  
Jan Langley (From an RV Friend 7-12-05)

I spoke to Joyce at StarCraft. She is the Warranty Manager. She was extremely pleasant and guaranteed that she would send out the manual today. For anyone looking for a StarCraft manual, she recommended that he or she call 1.800.945.4787. You may contact Joyce (Manager) at ext 214. If she is not available, please leave a message or dial one of the other extensions in her department: x215, x216, x217, or x218. I hope this helps other StarCraft owners.  Wendy (From an RV Friend 10-24-06)


WinnebagoI spoke with a very nice lady at Winnebago who provided the following instructions for obtaining manuals:

"For owners manuals, we prefer for owners to request a manual from their local dealer. Here's the simplest way: 

  • Click on Resources and then RV Parts and Accessory Catalog
    (link:
    http://www.winnebagoind.com/resources/manuals/pdfs/Winnebago_Catalog.pdf

  • Starting on page 230, there is the list of owners manuals and the part numbers. 

  • Owners can find the manual they need and the corresponding part number and quickly and easily call their local dealer about ordering the manual for them. 

  • We also have an owner relations department that can assist in providing part numbers for manuals: 800-537-1885."

Thanks Winnebago, we appreciate your assistance.  Vince (2-8-07)
