Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 20051986 Coleman Sequoia
Hi Everyone, I'm new to popup camping (prevously only tent camping) and just bought a 1986 Coleman Sequoia for a very good price, however the users manual is practically worthless. I did a search on this group and that seems to be the consensus about the manuals. I have some questions: 1) Is there a good resource on the web to find information? This group seems to be the best so far. 2) I would like to know if I can get a repair manual somewhere? 3) How do I work the furnace? 4) There is a switch located on the left side just as I enter the camper, what is it for? ( I may need to trace the wires to find out) Doc Check to see if there's a lamp under the floor, above the step. It may light the step.

That's a good suggestion, but I'll bet dimes to donuts that that's not what it's for. If it IS, I will be amazed as such a (NICE) feature is not found even on today's entry-to-mid-line travel trailers, much less popups. I don't know where my brain was (don't answer that!<g>) when I first read the article but... It's probably the switch to the outside "porch" light. My 1987 Starcraft Galaxy had one JUST as described. Good luck! :) JR I had an older Coleman Williamsburg with the feature I described, which is why I suggested it. When the step closed, the back part of the step hinge mechanism (solid) protected the light from road debris. > > Check to see if there's a lamp under the floor, above the step.

I think I would rather have THAT than the porch light. :) JR > > I had an older Coleman Williamsburg with the feature I described > > Nice.

Doc Why not simply call the previous owner???? Leon in Texas Question #3. The name and model should be on the furnace. These furnaces were used by many companies. A local dealer will have information on it. I bought a new motor for mine last year. If not, a web search should pay off. My 1988 Sequoia Coleman has a Hydro Flame Corp, Salt Lake, UT. A pain in the butt to light. If I was in your place. The first thing I would do. Is repack the bearings. Also you could add bearing buddies. Even with many cross country trips and three trips to AK from VT. My 1988 Sequoia Coleman is in great shape. I have never cooked in it. The only problem has been the cracking of the ABS plastic Coleman used in the front and back of the roof. Duck tape was the only solution. >Hi Everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >1) Is there a good resource on the web to find information? This group >seems to be the best so far. Try http://www.popupexplorer.com I personally think it is THE popup site. >2) I would like to know if I can get a repair manual somewhere? What kind of repair manual? Bout the only thing on the camper that usually needs repair is the lift system, and there is a lift manual out there. Other systems in the camper (furnace, a/c, stove, fridge, running gear) prolly have separate manuals. >3) How do I work the furnace? You prolly have the Coleman furnace, like mine does. If you do, pull the front door off the furnace, and there is operation instructions in there. >4) There is a switch located on the left side just as I enter the >camper, what is it for? ( I may need to trace the wires to find out) In my unit, this switch controls the step light. > Doc I have a 1981 Coleman Shenandoah, and I am still working on it. There are a lot of things I am learning about this camper, and a lot of it comes from the aforementioned popupexplorer. |
