1974 Winnebago Chieftain Travel Trailer

[despain]

Hello,
My wife and I just purchased a 1974 Winnebago Chieftain Travel trailer and I am trying to find Manuals or any other information online in pdf format. I know the one manuals number is 00197406000. does anyone else have one of these trailers or information on it?

Does anyone else here have one of these?

They are sort of few and far between. Winnebago has a 72 brochure that mentions the 220 Indian (http://www.winnebagoind.com/products...ebago3-bro.pdf). The owners manual you found for purchase from a Winnebago dealer will cover both trailer and 5th Wheel trailer versions. Most likely the best reference you will find. Using google, you can find a a small amount of information (Winnebago Travel Trailer, Winnebago Trailer, 74 Winnebago Trailer, etc.)

Something of interest though. Let it be known that after a 30 year dry spell, Winnebago has decided to re-enter the Travel Trailer market!

Dave,

Thanks so much for the info I have called the dealer they told me they could not get me a manual so I will follow in the google search you have suggested. I am having some trouble getting my 110v to work so I am troubleshooting now.

Not sure why as it works for me on a different computer than what I posted it on.

Thanks all I still have had no luck finding manuals, but I have been through the trailer and have figured most of it out myself. Fixed toilet and water lines and heater. all things considered I am very happy with this Jewel. I bought it the battery was dead so I could not test things. they guy told me all was working he said he had it out in May. I have learned other wise as it had split water lines toilet valve was broken Hot water tank Leaks. All things he assured me worked. I really don't care as we still got the better end of the deal. My 6 kids are going to have a life time of memories. And my wife and I have the chance to change things and make it ours.
