Can anyone help me?

I bought a MH called ACE La Finca which Swift tell me is nothing to do with them - seems to be a Spanish ACE but RH drive. But I don't have a handbook for the power control panel, or a wring diagram. The dealer gave me loads of books and brochures, just not this one, and I only just realised (I'm very new to all this!) He reckons he doesn't have any others. I suppose could take the van back... but for the sake of a handbook, it doesn't seem worth it. I like my van but as I don't know what anything means I can't use it yet...

If I can find someone else with this make/model and/or a similar power control panel perhaps I can make a copy. Does anyone here know anyone with this van?

Here's the control panel...

I can just about guess what the symbol-buttons mean but lights go on and off differently depending on the combinations selected.

Thanks to anyone who recognises the control panel and can instruct me, extra points to anyone who has a copy of a handbook and can copy it for me (payment too ;)

Must admit I hate those language-free symbols! There are buttons on my printer that I've never dared touch as I have no idea what the symbol means...

Looks as though ACE have put their own brand logos on it, so you may need to whip out the fixing screws and ease it forward very carefully to see if there are any markings on the back or on the circuit board.

If you do that, disconnect the battery(s) first in case any connections have not been tightened properly and come loose.

Hi, had a similar problem with our m/home
just found your m/home for sale at Richard Baldwin Motorhomes and for sale on the Caravan club sites. you could call them and see if they could copy the books and post/ email them to you ?

Thanks all for responses.

AUSTINS - yep, everyone's telling me that! I guess the Spanish ACE (no relation to the UK ACE) had an idiosyncratic approach...
Mojo - I may get my dad to do that ;)
Barry915 - great minds! I've been in touch with them, hope to speak to 'the right man' next week.

But if anyone out there does recognise the control panel or know someone with this van, please do make contact. Thanks!
