There have been one or two threads with people trying to find manuals and inevitably if they are lucky finding a PDF online. Now I like PDF's because they are searchable on my laptop when looking for a specific issue and also as they are easy to store and have on hand, even on your phone or tablet. But sometimes a paper book is what you want to browse and PDF's just dont cut it. My new Flair came with a printed manual and a CD which comprised the latest status and included sections on equipment that were not in the printed version supplied. It was 830 pages of PDF.
So I googled around and found this company and got a bespoke printed one off black and white loose leaf ring binder copy for £70!!! from my PDF.

I have no affiliation but it seemed a good deal to me and I was reminded with an email from them today offering 20% discount! So I thought I would share it.

If its something you really need probably not bad, but I can't see much point with a Motorhome manual, most of it is common sense, only ever looked at a few pages in mine. I suppose to some extent it depends how practical you are.

And the quality of the manual, and if you prefer pressing loads of buttons on the off chance you get it right without screwing something up in process? I spend more time fixing my wifes tablet, because "she did not touch anything it just did it by itself"

Thanks for that, they do colour as well. As an example, twenty five colour pages in A4 a shade under eight pounds. I could have an album of my holiday snaps made up!

I like PDF's as well, but tend to find what I want, and if need be print out just the relevant pages
That way if it gets covered in sh!te, rained on,blows away or what ever all I have lost is a couple of sheets of paper :)

Anything important I always scan and save as a PDF, but why is it the important one that I need urgently is always the one I forgot to scan.:D

Amazon product ASIN B004VKZSUWI have had mine for must be 6 years now and your enquiry made me check it out, and there are quite a few options now. I want wireless though so it is networked through my MH router. Let me know what you choose in the current market

Thank you. I also want wireless and/or via USB from my laptop. Being a Luddite I don't use a tablet, smartphone or bluetooth. I know I'll have to before long but not quite yet.....
I've got a VERY old mobile printer that I haven't used for about 15 years. I plugged it in the other day and it seemed to be fine mechanically (made all the right noises!) but so far I haven't been able to find any inks for it. It doesn't run off a battery either, and that would be very handy.
The Epson looks good.

Do read the reviews, having now done so I will look more closely. Maybe pop down to Staples and get a demo?

I have a HP450 portable printer I picked up on eBay a few years ago for £30, if not using it much battery charge lasts for months.
