I made this request a while back (below), and got a manual for my 1977 Argosy motorhome. Using the manual, I was able to determine that I have a 1975 motorhome, not a 1977! So, I would now like to locate an Owners Manual and/or Shop Manual for a 1975 Argosy motorhome. Also, if anyone has any Argosy sales brochures, I would be in the market for those also. Can anyone out there in Airstreamland help? Email rik@armory.com or call 831.429-1145. Many thanks!!

Rik,

I have a 75 manual if you want it, If you want to I will just trade you for it.

You send me the 77 back, and I will send you the 75. what length is you motorhome? The reason I ask is that I do not think they made a 28 FT in 1975. Let me know and I will check on that for you.

How much do those manuals run? A great Airstream guy sent me a copy of his service manual for an 84-85 series, mine is an 82. It seems like most applications are the same, especially wiring diagrams and such.

The ones I am sending to Rik are extra originals that came with my coach. Quite often the can be had at larger Airstream rally flea markets for a song. I got a 77 factory service manual for my TT for 10.00. I have a 78/79 service manual that the PO bought from Secretarial services. They charge 35-40 bucks for a manual and up to 70 for a service manual.

I realize this thread is pretty ancient now, but just in case any newbies, like me, come wondering in, Bobchevy gave the following invaluable advise:

You can get a owners or service manual from Helen Davia Secretarial Ser.
PO BOX 484
Sidney Oh.45365
Ph#937-492-8885
runs about $35.00

I called and was able to get a users manual for my '75 Argosy, now all I need is a service guide, any one offering?

Cheers,

Andrew

I just obtained a manual from secraterial services. Price is $60.00
BUT remember what ever you need to fix, It is not covered in the manual.
I need it for 3 things and they were not in the manual.
But better than nothing.

When you are checking which year manuals you need, remember chassis year and AS sold as year not necessarily the same. Looking for chassis parts for my 2000 AS, it has a 98 chassis that Chevy labeled as 1999. Specific part I need right now can be from 97-99 chevy p-32 or GMC truck 3500.
