Another possibility would be to contact Secretarial Services - - it is possible to purchase a copy of a manual as described below (quoted from the Vintage Airstream Club web site):

Q: I need an owners and service manual for my Airstream. Where can I get one?
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.

Another possibility would be contact Airstream dealers who were in business when the coach was new - - sometimes a dealer will have an NOS manual on a shelf that he/she might consider selling - - this may be somewhat of a longshot, and is a question that may be more likely to receive an affirmative answer if it comes from one their regular customers.

Good luck with your search!

Hello Mr. (or is it Chief) Flying Cloud,

Did you notice the date on the post preceding yours?

Just a note of fair warning on manuals, Many posters have noted displeasure with the quality of the reproduced manuals from Secretarial Services
Prices are about $33 and $70.
I do not know whether she guaratees satisfaction or not.
Would be nice to know.

For that price you might find an owner of a manual who would copy one very carefully for you.

Let me qualify my remarks by saying that I have not seen one of the manuals from Secretarial Services.
