[A/S] Re: owners manual





Your '67 pre-dates the time when Airstream published repair manuals 
for its coaches.  Even owners' manuals didn't make their appearance 
until 1964 so even they were relatively new Airstream features.  It 
is somewhat rare to find original 1960s owners' manuals offered for 
sale - - E-Bay is probably the most likely source.  There is the 
option of obtaining a copy of the original manual from Secretarial 
Sevices using the method as follows:  (quoted from VAC website)

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.>>

You might possibly be able to obtain an original from Ace Fogdall RV 
in Cedar Falls, Iowa.  They uncovered a number of Vintage manuals 
when they moved to their new location last year and may still have a 
few of those manuals available.  See:

Good luck with your search for a manual!
