My DW and I are working on purchasing a 2005 Mountain Aire 4301. It looks to be in great shape and drives well. If its inspection goes well this week, we'll take delivery next weekend.

The one big downside is that all of the Owner's Manuals are missing.

I have been able to find a PDF copy of the main manual for the coach but I expect there are a number of additional manuals, including a chassis manual, that would have been included. I have also written to Newmar to ask about purchasing a new set of manuals but I don't really expect that will be a fruitful endeavor.

Question 1:
What manuals are included in the coach's documentation set? A list of the manual and their part numbers would be very helpful in ensuring I'm looking for the right ones.

Question 2:
Are there any potential sources you can suggest to find electronic versions of the manuals?

If the above approaches are not successful, I'll try to find someone in the Vancouver, BC area who is willing to loan me their manial set for a few days. I retire at the end of this week so I'll have time to use my scanner.

Hi Ron_H,
To obtain the manuals for the different components of the coach, you'll need to go to the manufacturer of that component. When new, a manual for almost all the components was included in several 3" 3 ring binders. Consider trying the manufactures' web site first. If that doesn't bring the result you need, a call to them would be appropriate.

There really is not that much in manuals provided by Newmar.
Here is a Brochure and Owners Guide and in the chassis forums there are some wiring and chassis info dependent on what chassis it is.
Below in my signature are many links to items in your coach as Silverleaf or E-Plex items in the RV Systems link will be Appliances and Gen info.
Here is a couple of links found in QT's # 3.---12v battery system and 12v wiring and fusing.
Slides and jacks systems in QT's 1 & 2 and a lot more.
You need any other info just ask.

Thanks for the replies guys but I am hoping someone will be able to provide additional assistance either in the form of:

Providing information of websites where the various Owner's Manuals can be downloaded.
Loan me a copy of the manuals for a 2005 MADP, which I would scan.
A 2005 MADP owners able provide a list of of the manuals, including manufacturer name and manual part numbers, so I can contact those manufacturers and request copies.

As mentioned earlier, I have obtained a PDF copy of the coach owner's guide and I have emailed Newmar to ask about purchasing a replacement set of manuals, if they are available. Unfortunately it has been a number of days and I have not received any response from Newmar.
