Refurb Complete!

It took a year but the camper is finally in ship shape! Re-done underside, new braking system, paint, new tires, re-furbed interrior, new electricals, gas........etc!!!

newbie-68 Holiday Vacationer Info Wanted

Hey all I'm a newbie, just got a great little travel trailer(photos to come) anyone has any info on a 1968 Holiday Vacationer? Really looking for a manual. I understand Holiday was bought out in the late 90's and that company has no records of models previous. Mines in great shape needs little service work. Any suggestions welcome.
