Have you looked in irv2 there are forums that list manuals. Google and you might find some there also. Have you Looked under Monaco under Owners Forum?

It looks very Nice, Nice Body Style

Don't worry too much about an "Owner's Manual" for the coach. They usually contain very generic information. Start finding the identification tags for all the appliances and systems, Furnace, fridge, water heater, etc. You should be able to find the service manuals online. This web site should get you started.

Service Documents and Manuals

Depending on what chassis you have under the Monaco coach you can probably find an Owner's or Service chassis manual online too.

Best of Luck!

I've looked everywhere and called everyone on the irv list without success. It is very similar to the executive you found Tim but that's not the one. Mine has no model name anywhere it just says Monaco on the rear and has no rear window like the executive. Also thank you Nick didn't even think about all that. I have no idea what chassis is under it how do I find out?

NADA makes it look like some models may have been identified only by their length.

Good luck with your search.

Try this to help ID your Monaco. Go to Google, click Images then type in "1982 Monaco motorhome" and see if anything matches. I see a few pics that might be yours but I'm just guessing.

Is the engine gas or diesel? There has to be a chassis manufacturer's ID tag somewhere on the chassis - probably near the engine.

You're going to have to do a bit of poking your head around as there is only so much we can do from our end of the keyboard.

Good Luck!
