Base vehicle (Fiat?) should be easy to get. Best search each of the hab units makers and see if they have any to download.

Thank you for your reply. The Fiat book i have, it's the Rapido Hab that i need. I have contacted several Rapido dealers, but no joy so far.

I found the Rapido manual to be next to useless most of it Generic and only 2 loose pages relevant to my model . Things like tank sizes weren't relevant. I used the manufacturer manuals for individual items fridge oven Truma etc.
I found old magazine reviews to be more relevant.

I found our manual quite comprehensive for our 881f. It should have come with one. I'd go back to the selling party and ask for it. It should come on a red Rapido zip bag with all the component manuals.

The missing manuals for each item of habitation equipment might still be hidden somewhere inside the MH.

Mine were loose instructions from each supplier/manufacturer, inside a Rapido fabric bag with a zip, at the bottom of the wardrobe. The accompanying brief Rapido manual itself was very generic. You might be able to get another owner of a similar model to photocopy theirs.

Did try that, they passed on all they were given. When i get the v5 i will write to old owner in the hope he kept them. Thank you for replying.

The dealer passed all they had on to me, which wasnt much. Will write to the old owner when i get v5, in the hope they kept it. Thanks for replying.

Things must have changed! My 2002 9series came with a handbook which must run to over 50 pages with all sorts of variations in pump and drain positions, bed layouts and electrical connections covered. There are wiring diagrams (in French) applying to every 7,8&9 series built that year on Fiat and Mercedes chassis, with separate diagrams for UK models where appropriate.

the1andonly sadly that is the tech spec for the vans when ordering. intokenny I'll see if I can post an example page but out at the Edinburgh Tattoo just now!

The spec relevant to my model gave me more useful info than the manual. As I said previously the individual manufacturers manuals are useful and I carry pdf copies in this tablet all the time, I haven't bothered copying a single page from the manual.

Agree pages from our manual.

we bought our Rapido in France, (where we live) and the manual was in French. I contacted a Rapido dealer in Newbury area, UK and they ordered me the English version and posted it to me. I will check who the dealer was tomorrow and let you know. It was the Habitation manual for our specific m/h.
If not, you could always contact Rapido France customer services at Mayenne, France, and they should be able to help you out. Possibly even send you a PDF version for you to print off.
Hope this helps. Jim
