Title: Thanks for the P-30 chassis and alignment manuals!
Post by: ClydesdaleKevin on November 19, 2011, 08:29 PM
Once again, this club/forum/group of the most awesome people ever has come through! 

I was about to shell out cash for a manual for the Nautilus chassis on eBay...40 bucks plus for a hard copy, 10 bucks plus for a CD copy, when I decided to check out the free manuals available for members here...its been a while since I checked them, and they used to be Dodge only, since Chevy chassis models were barely vintage.

But it was there!

Both manuals!

Awesome!

I love you guys!

You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kev,
Those are only supplement manuals to the primary P30 chassis set.  As shown here (http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?topic=4974.0 (http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?topic=4974.0)) the regular set of manuals (3 seperate books; Service, Unit repair, wiring) is needed for complete set.   The best deal I have found is the Bishko CD-ROM.  It was not unusual for a coach mfg to place current year model (1989) on previous years chassis (1988) due to buying the chassis in advance.  You need to find out for sure which year chassis you have.  When tracking these manuals down, make sure you read the details carefully as I see mis-marked info posted.  Faxon has the picture of Vol 1 (service) but list it as a electrical book (Vol 3).

Here is a link to the 88 P30 CD at Bishko: http://www.autobooksbishko.com/Items/1988%20Chevytruck%20Shop%20Manual/14733.html (http://www.autobooksbishko.com/Items/1988%20Chevytruck%20Shop%20Manual/14733.html)

I would talk to Bishko about the 89 version becasue it does not look like the one for a P30.

89 EBAY - http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3841.m570.l1313&_nkw=1989+chevrolet+light+duty&_sacat= (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3841.m570.l1313&_nkw=1989+chevrolet+light+duty&_sacat=)

A great deal for a 89 service/wiring set: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-GMC-Light-Duty-Truck-R-V-G-P-Shop-Service-Manual-/170719590730?hash=item27bfae394a&item=170719590730&pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-GMC-Light-Duty-Truck-R-V-G-P-Shop-Service-Manual-/170719590730?hash=item27bfae394a&item=170719590730&pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&vxp=mtr)

Make sure the book says "R-G-K-P" for coverage (not the S-10 version).  As that EBAY listing shows, the GMC vs Chevrolet books look diffferent .
