2005 Tropical owner manuals

[papakimo]

Hello, we just bought a 2005 39 Ft. 3 slide diesel Tropical. We got a good deal and love the RV. It came with no owner manuals however. I would love to have contact with someone who has these manuals and arrange to copy them and negotiate a price to do so. Thank you.

We bought a 2005 37' 3 Slide Diesel TropiCal in April with no manuals. I've been looking for someone with manuals that would copy them for me as well. No luck so far, but a friend just told me that if anybody out there has manuals, they can go to Kinko's and they will copy them and send them to recipients very reasonably. That would virtually make it a "No work situation". So, anybody with manuals, please contact papakimo and/or Michguy and help us out. We're willing to pay.

Hi Michguy,

Thank you for replying to my post and expanding it outward to any one who could help us. If I locate these manuals I will certainly contact you! Happy trails. PapaKimo

papakimo,

go to the Dolphin Club website, www.dolphinclub.com and click on the "Links" bar. There is a direct clickable link to the National RV Archives where you can find and download brochures for your rig.

If you have trouble accessing, send me a PM, or email and I will try to help.

Happy Trails!

I have an 05 Tropical and I had the same issue. I bought mine with 6K mikes on it last Oct, and no manuals.

Most of the equipment on the unit is third party and you can download all of the manuals you need from their websites. Just look up the manufacurers as you need things.

If there are any you can't find you can email me direct and if I have it I will email it to you.

Also, any questions you have be sure to search this forum there is a wealth of information here that answered most of my questions.

Good luck with a great MH!!

I have a 2005 Tropical and have National's owners manual plus supplement. I will check out cost of copying versus scanning. This manual is in addition to the oem manuals.

Hi Paladin

Thank you for your willingness to check on this........please do keep me posted........look forward to what you find out.

I checked with Staples, they will charge $0.25/page to scan unbound manual and supplement onto my thumb drive. Manual plus supplement are approximately 200 print pages. Pages from manual are print both sides; i.e., Staples requires one-sided pages for document feeder on scanner. Additional cost to prepare documents for scanning could bring total cost to scan both documents close to $75.

papakimo,

Check here for dealer brochures for National RV products: National RV Archives

You may need to download the 4squared software to open them, but is worthwhile.

Since you live in CA, I highly recommend you seek out membership in The Dolphins. The Dophins is an FMCA chapter for owners of Class A motorhomes manufactured by National RV, Inc. Great club, nice folks and LOTS of knowledge on NRV rigs! You can check them out at www.dolphinclub.com

PM me for more details.

Happy Trails!

I rechecked with Staples. Their scanner can handle pages with print both sides. So....cost will be $50 or less.

I mailed both of you copies of 2005 Tropical last week. You should be recieving them shortly. Billp.

papakimo and michguy-it appears billp has taken care of you. If not...let me know. I have the 2004 manual with the 2005 supplement. Roughly 175+ printed pages.

[papakimo]

Thank you to Bill as I received the 2005 manual and Bill I sent you a check yesterday...you are a gentleman!! And Paladin I would really appreciate all the supplements you mention as I have no supplements...let me know how to proceed...thank you to all who responded and are so helpful...this is the spirit of RVing!!
