Model year 1964 marked the first year that Airstream would offer an owners' manual. While rudimentary by modern standards, it does provide quite a bit historical data -- in '64, the new owner was provided with a copy of the owners' manual (about 65 pages) along with a manilla envelope containing manuals specific to appliances and options installed on/within the coach. It is unusual to run across one of the original manuals, but reproductions are available from two sources:
You can obtain copies of the original manuals from the Airstreamer store on the Airstream website:
Airstream :: Store
There isn't much difference between the Overlander Double and Overlander twin model owners' manuals. The only difference that I have been able to find is the page where the floorplan is shown -- that one page is unique to the manual. I don't know whether this was only with early production manuals or if this was true of all manuals published in '64.
The second soure is Secretarial Services -- the contact information is as follows:

A: The first owners manuals were published in 1964. Prior to that, the owner received a brown envelope containing parts lists and other helpful information on the accessories in his trailer. The VAC has started making these available in the Members Archive section. A service manual with instructions for performing service operations did not exist until 1972.
You can get photocopies of owners manual (1964+) and service manuals (1972-1986) from:
Helen Davis Secretarial Services
PO Box 484 Sidney, OH 45365
(937)492-8885
Prices are about $33 and $70 respectively. After 1986 the Owners Manuals included available service information. |
Good luck with your Overlander!
