<p>Congrats on the wedding. I really appreciate being able to get the info, Thank You. I have talked at length to many different sources concerning the tanks being placed on their side and it seems that a vertical (BBQ) tank should never be transported or used on their side. So I have taken them out and replaced them with 5lb. tanks that will stand up in that small area. Thanks again for the help and info I'll be here working on the camper for the next few weeks (grin). Take care </p>

<p>Sorry for the slow reply. Sorry we have been out of town for our honeymoon. I will be happy to provide the manual. It will be another week or so before we are back into the area. We have all the original booklets for the equipment installed. </p>
<p>As for the tanks, we have the tanks that are laying on their sides. We changed them out for "newer" tanks. My husband said it was because the older tanks didn't have the new valves that don't allow you to get the liquid out of the tanks. </p>

<p>Hello, I just bought a 1985 Real-Lite Model I think is an 850, with zero paperwork or manuals and I need some info. I also found that Juno Ind. had a recall on the 1985 thru 1989 units with an electrical issue, while researching more about an owners manual. Unfortunately I couldn't find much of anything about these RVs, so I would like to ask you does your unit have the LP tanks mounted outside in a storage area? If they are, are they vertical tanks (BBQ type) mounted on their sides? That is…</p>

Unfortunately I couldn't find much of anything about these RVs, so I would like to ask you does your unit have the LP tanks mounted outside in a storage area? If they are, are they vertical tanks (BBQ type) mounted on their sides? That is what I have and everything I read says never to lay vertical tanks on their side. I'm afraid to use them this way. Also I would be glad to pay you for a copy of the info you have about the RV. I am getting this ready to take to Alaska next spring so, I have some time to get it ready for the trip.

<p>Is it another truck camper? If it's a single axle travel trailer let me know post haste. Saw a RL 5th wheel real cheap last night but gotta have the right type truck to pull it. Hey, you got the real deal REAL-LITE. </p>

<p>They never merged with anyone. They built thousands. Few come up for sale. The owner told me he sold out to Mallard Coach. They came in loaded all & took away. 3 yrs later Mallard sold. The rights to the use of the name Real-Lite was also sold. John told me the rv biz has ups & downs (gas prices & economy). Juno had a 20 yr run so time to cash out & retire. Remember, it was QUALITY not QUANTITY. They made a honest profit, treated his customers, dealers & employees well.…</p>

Juno was a top notch outfit.</p>
<p>Glad to hear your going to redo it right. You got yourself a family heirloom. If close to Pittsburgh Would love to come see it.</p>
