Keithl Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hi Alican and welcome to the forum, My suggestion was going to be Googling for manufacturers websites but as you've already tried that and failed perhaps some of us other forum members can help. If you post the make and model numbers or even photos of the items you're trying to find instructions for then we'll see if we can help. (PS Photos have to be under 100 kb to post). Keith.

Rayjsj Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Talbot Express is just the ' base' vehicle, for any useful information you need to give us the Converters name and the model number. All too vague otherwise. I had a 1988 Talbot Express based Auto sleeper, so will help if I can. More info required though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayjsj Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 OK, a 1993 Swift Royale, now we are getting somewhere, if the batteries are flat then you need to connect the van up to the mains, to get them recharged ASAP. do you have an electric hook up cable ? If not you need to get one, get a 25 metre one. If you really no nothing about motorhomes then having a habitation service by a 'qualified' technician is a must. Then a good book to buy is all about motorhomes by John Wickersham. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
