I have just purchased a Class B-Plus Trail-Lite motorhome by R-vision. I believe r-vision is out of buisness and being that I am a first time RVer of any kind I am desperately searching for a manual that would have originally accompanied this unit. Something that woul tell you the procedures for such as: fuse panel location and types, starting furnace, options available to use propane , shore power electric or battery, servicing the slide out, winterization etc. The unit I bought has individual manuals for refrig, microwave, generator, stovetop,but no manual to describe the general functions of the camper itself. The unit is on a 3500 Chevy chassis with a 6.0 l engine. I have a on the Chevy truck, but that's it. Can anyone give me some idea where I might find such a manual? Thanks so much

Keith,
Unless you can come across a friend in an owners group, there is little chance.
To that end, you might do a google search and then again at IRV2 and RVillage.
There are a few general books around, but I can't promise any will answer your questions. You might go to a book store and plan to sit a while.

We have a 2004 R-Vision B+ Model 213, we bought it in 2012 for a 2013 Alaska trip. We have the same manuals you have for the basic equipment. We have a general R-Vision manual, which tells little and it's in the B+, which is now in climate controlled storage for the winter. Take a look at this topic It's been active since 2002 on RV.net, it could be of some help.

Keith Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase.
I was in process of responding to your posting in the Class B forum when it was closed. As Teacher's Pet has pointed out there exists a 359 page topic that provides more information than the owners manual provided.
We bought ours new and I copied the manual to shared space on google docs here Trail-Lite Model 211-S.
I prepared a spreadsheet of members of this forum that owned a Trail-Lite at one time that numbered 117. Many still have theirs and will chime in if they are still active members.

Thank you guys so much for responding and your advise and help!! What a great forum and having the opportunity to converse with seasoned RV's is truly wonderful! At 68 , I was feeling a bit stupid buying an RV thinking that the camping thing had passed me by, but I am an active individual an an ardent waterfowl hunter so perhaps my "young brain" will see me through these awkward initial stages of purchasing and trying out this whole RV thing!
Thanks again for all the help!
