Coachmen: Help....Just purchased first motorhome

[etorrey31]

So we just purchased a used Coachman Santara and it did not come with an owners manual. I found one online but it does not include the chassis. It is a 1994 and I cannot seem to find this old of a manual online. Any ideas??

Looking at listings on line, most Coachman Santaras of that vintage are listed as 454 engines. I would imagine that means it is a Chevy chassis. Check serial number at Chevrolet website and it should tell you more.

The one I just bought came on a ford chassis with a ford 460 FI engine

I have a complete set of manuals

Easiest way to tell is look at the steering wheel, it is usually branded with the chassis manufacturer.

If there is some item you want to know about or a wiring diagram just email me and I will see what I can send you.
But I would need to know if you have a 1993 or 1994 F53. The tenth place in the VIN will tell you the year. Most likely you will have a 1993.
1992=N
1993=P
1994=R
