Hi all! Does anyone have a suggestion for finding the user manual for a 2006 Palomino Pony 283? I've searched the resources here, but no luck.
TIA,
Steph

You will most likely be disappointed in a factory manual, sorry to say. I always suggest to start your own notebook and add to it as you learn about your camper.. Look at all the equipment of your camper( furnace, refrigerator, water pump, water heater, etc.) and record their make and model numbers and download their factory manuals from the internet. Great to have on hand if you have a problem. And if you are new to pop up’s start with a camp driveway trial run. Pretend you are 5 miles from home and make a list of things you forgot, things you didn’t need, etc.

Awesome advice! Thank you!

Th
typically the manuals are a bit generic for campers, so perhaps use fewer search terms.
ank you, I will try that!

I have a similar 2005 Palomino Pony. The original manual is pretty sparse. But if you have any specific questions, I have nearly a decade of experience with it now.
Hi again, I don't have the camper out of storage so I can't look myself, but do you think this 2006 Palomino pony 283 has a water storage tank, or just the inlet for city water?

Do you have a gravity fill outlet right next to the city water inlet? Ours does, and that feeds an 18 (I think) gallon water tank under the floor. There is also an electric water pump under the sink, with a switch to power it on the back of the dinette seat.

If you look underneath the popup, you will see the big water tank straddling the axle. Assuming it is still there.

Thank you for the advice! I'll check as soon as it gets back here.

T Fischer, I screengrabbed this from a video. Would this be the gravity fill outlet you mentioned?
