I've seen 2 of them within the last year and a half on ebay so they come up from time to time.

We had to buy ours from the Helen someone-or-other secretarial service. It's photo copied, but very nice, and bound with a spiral. I just received it a couple of weeks ago, so I have only flipped through it, but it has WAY more info than our pointless silly owners manual that came with our 68 Safari.

If you need more info on the secretarial service, let me know. I think it ran about $75.

Greetings Actioncraft!

The contact information for purchasing the photo copies of Owners' and Service Manuals is below. This information is quoted from the Vintage Airstream Club Web Site,

Quote:

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.

Thanks again, this is good stuff. I am just a rookie at this Airstreaming but I am catching on. This site has been very useful thus far and I am definitely an advocate. Next stop www.airstream.net

We're in the same boat. Bought 2 in one week, we had no idea what we were getting in to.....they're much more complicated than we expected (although neither of us have ever been camping, accept our pop-up my parents had 20 years ago...LOL

This forum is SO awesome, you're learn a lot, and waiste a lot of time here too.
