Does anyone have access to the owners information that is supplied when you purchased your coach? I'm not talking about the PDF that AC has on their website. That owners manual isn't detailed enough for my needs. I would basically like a repair manual for my 2021 American Eagle 45K. Since we are the second owner, none of that stuff was in the coach and I was hoping someone would know how to get it. Thanks.
 
There's no such thing. There may be some trouble shooting guidance at the back of some mfg'ers operating instructions but there's nothing like a Chilton's which exists for RV's. Otherwise, there's no manual of operating instructions in the MH because there likely never was. You'd need to print it off the web.

You would be better off d/loading information specific to you appliances and accessories. All of the owner's manuals I have ever had list lots of generic info. If you googled make and model of your equipment, I believe you will have better info than the Owner Manual would provide. You can get some repair info from You Tube University as well.
 
Agree with above posts, no specific manuals, just Google what you're looking for, you'll find lots of information
 
Thanks for the info. How do I find out what type of slides/jacks/ etc. and where the jack reservoir/slide reservoir are located? I have a leak under the RF slide. There is a trough along the floor that looks to be filled with lines of all types. One of them is leaking g. Just have to drop it down, clean it up and see what.

My coach has two different slide manufacturers. My owner's manual did not specify which was a Lippert or the Schwintek. A quick google came up with instructions how how to tell them apart and a quick review of each on how to fix common problems. If you need to know the location of a specific piece of equipment, a forum like this will probably be more help than what an owner's manual will be. You will hear from folks that likely have the same unit as you.

It helps to be a handy kinda guy when owning an RV. No matter how well your unit is built, there always seems to be a honey do list to keep you occupied.
 
Thanks everybody. I am a pretty handy guy and will be doing most everything myself. This isn't my first motorhome so I am well aware of the never ending honey do list. We had a Newmar Ventana before this. It seems like all of the issues with this new to us AE is that it only had 5800 miles on it when we bought it and it's a 2021. Toilets wouldn't flush, fresh water tank looked like skim milk, aquahot didn't work, no cold water in the shower. I have fixed all of those things and then this hydraulic oil leak popped up. I haven't used the jacks yet at all, so I figure it's got to be the slide. The oil is definitely coming from the passenger side trough about 5 feet back from the RF tire. I just have to drop the trough and clean up the mess to see which line is leaking.
