Anyone have an idea of the year for this rv?  I bought it recently for only...$650!  I'm looking for a manual but they are obviously hard to come by.  Any leads or help is greatly appreciated!

well the year should of been on the title and if you did not get one, you don't really own it as it will never see the road legally, nice trailer tho. there were no manuals per se, each appliance had its own manual, and the owners manual for the trailer had very little info in it.

I have a 1973 holiday Vacationer and the the extior and intior are the same as yours. We striped the paint and repainted it with alumnum paint. The interior we took out the old floor and put down industrial floor tile. Good luck with your rebuild.

Robert does yours have a city water connection and if so, where?  I can't locate one on mine but then again haven't had much time to look her over other than hauling to deer camp and a quick look through it since I bought it.

I can put water into the camper on the drivers side near the front of the camper. While hooked up to a water hose I can use water throughout the camper, without the pressure pump.  Right now the pressure pump is not working on my camper so I only have water pressure while I hooked up.

Hi Coleman.  Nice little trailer.  What I would do to narrow down the year would be pull the make and model numbers off of some of the components, eg. the stove, water tank, propane tank, water heater, you get the idea, then call a parts store if you have  one you deal with.  Most times you can get the mfg date ans applications from them through the mfr.. also look at the axles and/or hubs, same process good luck and enjoy!  Rob

Thanks Rob and Robert!

We recently bought a 1971 holiday rambler (complete with the original manual) and it looks almost identical to yours.  The only differences look to be those made by previous owners.  The sinks are the same, counters, etc.  I'll try to scan the manual so that I can share it. 

Can anyone help me with what size tires are needed for a 1971 Holiday Rambler? Me and my 2 girls just got one and the tires are to old to see a size on them. And how hard will it be to find them and a few lug nuts for them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Hi Kristie,

I can get the tire size later today.  I'm not sure what area you live in but we were able to get all 4 tires for $368 a few months ago.  We were sure to get RV tires rather than just 'regular' tires.  I hope you love your Holiday Rambler as much as we love ours!  We had so much fun with it this past summer.

On most later-early model trailers, was almost 90% chance they are a 14" or lower profiled 15".

Always get tires designed for trailers,(not cars). The side walls should be rated a *D or *E.

Trailer tires have a heavier side wall, to carry the weight and NOT buckle on bounces and turns.

As far as tread pattern, you don't need criss cross treads,, They will wear out rather quickly. A straight groove pattern is best recommended.

Ive seen people *skimp on tire quality, only to blow tires or even worse aquire damge to their RV's.

Remember,,Thats your home away from home, And having good rubber underneath is benificial.

(Be sure to inspect and grease wheel bearings routinly.)

Thank you so very much!!

Hi Kristie,

 

We also have a 1971 holiday rambler vacationer and we got new tires this past summer.  We were able to get all 4 RV tires for $368 at Bruneel Tires (we're in Idaho).  The tire size is 215 75 14.

 

thanks!
