Hi, First time caravan owner after some help, I have just purchased an Abi Jubilee Courier 1997 model, The van came with no owners manuals and I have had no luck finding any on the internet or digital copies on ebay, has anyone possibly got a scan of theirs they could email me or provide me with a link to where I could download them please, I have no idea how to use the control panels for the heating and hot water and would like to know how to do this if the need arises, any other tips about my specific type of van would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

If you could post a photo of the control panel someone may well recognise it.
These things are not specific to one caravan manufacturer but are used by most, bought in from a specialist supplier.

Hi Paul,
Sometimes when you can't get the owners manual you can piece one together by noting the model of your fridge,water heater and control panel etc.
Try looking on the net for individual items in the van.
Even the control panel might have a number on it.
Some links below that might prove useful.

The owners club link should be helpful.

Agree with Greg. Caravan manuals often repeat the text from the component manufacturer. I have downloaded all the manuals / instruction I can find, and store these on a memory stick to save the weight, which can add up. You can often find parts and service manuals too, which can be handy if you have to solve a problem on site.
