Hello. My name is Royce. We have a 1996 Winnibago Adventure 34 foot. I am looking forward to chatting with you folks and learning lots of stuff.

Royce, welcome to the forums! I think you will find a lot of useful information here!

Welcome to the forum!

Kind of a rolling remote conversation that we all can learn from. Nothing better to keep the old brain engaged than to learn from others by watching---without the personal expense. Welcome .

Thank you everyone.
Right now I'm trying to hunt down a service manual for my rv. I find with a manual I can tackle most issues. just not having any luck in finding one.

I don't think you're going to find one for the "house", but you should be able to find a service manual for your chassis from its manufacturer. IRV2.com has a variety of chassis forums that may be of help in this regard.

The manufacturers of the various components, heaters, air conditioners, slides, etc. should be able to provide service manuals (or maintain online versions). Other than that, looking for a service manual for the "house" portion of your RV is kind of like looking for one for your house.

The closest you're likely to get from Winnebago will be the electrical and plumbing diagrams, etc., which can be found here:

My advice is to download the items listed in the above link now since you never know when Winnebago may discontinue listing them on line.

Yeah, RV service manuals are kind of a unicorn. Do you have the Ford or Chevy chassis?

It's an F53 with a 460. I want to change the spark plugs. Not sure how to remove the dog house. Or if that's even how to access the plugs.
Thanks

Be forewarned, many a "just wanted to change a sparkplug" in an older F53 has turned into an "Oh, !@#$% I broke a plug off in the head" ordeal.

LOTS for F53 Spark Plug stories on www.IRV2.com and YouTube.

Perhaps it's for the best if you never figure out how to do it.
