Well, if anyone has any information you can probably find it here. Might help if you could post some pictures of it. Welcome aboard by the way to you and all the new members.

Welcome to the site. Coop is right! There is a lot of knowledge here related to engines and systems in general. I would be you have a 440 in there? Let us know what questions you have and we'll all do our best to help.

I too have a Motorhome that I also am looking for info on. It is a 1978 Ford Automate 25ft. I will be posting some pics of it as soon as I can to help identify. Overall it is still in pretty good shape just a little exterior cosmetics to fix and minor stuff. Thank you.

Hang tight. We have a lot of members but most are out recreating this time of year. They check in from time to time and I'm sure you will get some answers if you are patient.

Thank you very much, I do appreciate it. Things have gotten a little lean and situations have changed in the course of our lives. So I want to make sure I know as much as I can about the vehicle before I head out on the road in case of issues. Again thank you All.

Here's an update date as to the progress. I have repaired the hatches in the roof and recoated it.Have been working on the mechanical stuff under the hood and she runs great. I actually found most of the info manuals I was searching for crammed in the corner of one of cabinets..The only one I do not have at this time, is the one for the "Insta-matic" dual power refridgerator. I do not think it works ....yet...But if anyone may know the secrets to it I would appreciate it...

RV refrigerators are notorioius for losing their charge. They work off Anhydrous Amonia and when they develop a leak its all over. I have taken coils in twice to be repaired and it didn't last very long at all. In the end its usually best just to replace the frig. Camping World can usuall match the size up for you.
