First off welcome to the forum.

What can you tell us about the 93 Coachman 380 Royal?

Is this a class "A" or a class "C"?

Can you post a photo of the instrument cluster to see if it is a Ford cluster or an after market cluster?

With this information we can answer most of your chassis questions.

You can put all of this information in your signature so we will have it when you do ask a question.

I also have just recently purchased a 1992 Coachman Royal 360RD Class A motorhome. If I am able to post the same requested info as you asked for of trucker_dad can you help me with some info on the MH? I have all the original manuals for the coach it looks like but the owners manual is pretty vague.

Thank you,

Go ahead and post your questions; someone will try to help you. (You might want to start a new thread for better visibility, though.)

Do you know where I might find more detailed info on the water system, there is a wall of knobs to turn for winterizing & filling the system. Also, trying to figure out where circuit breakers/fuses are located. The owners manual is pretty generic in scope and does not lead one to specific's for my particular MH.

Thank you,

The breakers/fuses might be in under the refrigerator with a swing down door.

Do the knobs look something the image below?
Disregard the bad check valve, that was for another post.

Yes, that's pretty much how they look. So I guess I just set them in the use positions and hook up the water to the connection? And go from there?

Yes the above is the valve positions when hooked to a water hose for MH use or when running the pump with fresh water all ready in the fresh water tank for MH use.

But not for filling the fresh water tank or draining for storage.
