There are many manuals available online HERE.

You can get the Dodge Motorhome Chassis manual on eBay - this one's a repro, but there are others.

hello, owner of a 73 dodge executive motohome. i gutted the entire motorhome to the frame and am rebuilding as we speak. i have read every thread and wish to thank the moderator to keeping it going. lots of great information. i do wish there was a link here that all of us could put shopping places and rebuilding tips. i have taken the advise of some threads here and decided to install some rear air bags... sounds like a great idea. well, great site here and happy new year.

Check out the rebuilding info at Wild Mopar Motorhomes.

'Griff's Project Number Two' is a '72 Executive. There are several threads on rebuilding old Dodge-based motorhomes, including complete tear-downs.

Well 75americanclipper, the mrs. and I couldn't wait til spring. The weather forecast for NW Pa. is for 1-3&4 to be in the low 50's. Last nite (1-2) about 10:30pm we fired up the old girl and headed for the woods. Had to come back for some jugs of water and pillows today, forgot them. Check out my camping photos and you will see that even snow does not slow us down.

Thinking of putting headers on my 79 Dodge RV, 440 mtr, class C, which headers are best and which ones should I use or should I stay with the stock cast iron exhaust, my right side cast iron exhaust has a crack so I do need to replace, just wondering if any body has good results or bad results with headers...

Have a 1976 Pace Arrow with M300 chassis. Has anyone changed out the 8-17.5 wheels for something a bit newer, like a set of 16's?

Brand new owner here of 1975 Dodge Tioga Sportsman 23' with a 318 engine. In very good shape for the most part. All original as much as I can tell 93K miles on it. Inside is nice, has the set up w/ the dinette in the back and windows all around. We were at the beach this weekend and it is a head turner [emoticon]

2 Ques:
New battery but doesn't work for power (lights, etc... on the inside) what might be the problem.

Wondering if it will tow a jeep wrangler?

Have you checked that you're using the 12v lights, etc? You should have both 12v and 110 fixtures - only the 12v stuff will work on battery.

Also, have you checked the converter to see if the fuse (or breaker) is popped on the battery side?

With a 318 I'd be a little leery of towing anything, let alone a Wrangler. We had a '75 El Dorado with a 360 briefly and decided that it could hardly get out of its own way going up hills, forget towing our (very light) raceboat trailer. We now have a '73 Concord with a 440 - it can tow ANYTHING.

i was afraid it might not tow it... well I guess I can tow it only on flat land..I think I'll get the hitch and see how it goes..I mean if it's just slow, no biggie [emoticon]
