When I purchased Odie I did get a Owners Manual with it.. But its pretty basic.

I keep hearing about a Repair Manual. Someplace on here someone has the CD for sale for about $32.

Is the repair manual still in print? Or does someone reproduce it?

I would much rather have it in print if I could find one. Might not have to ask so many questions.

Any ideas?

Cinnabar did have the parts manual and the maintenance manuals available.
But, their reprints of maintenance manuals are scans and the photos are poor. The Tom Lins manual DVD has superior scans. I will sometimes print the pages I need and take them to the coach, along with my book. Better to get the printed pages dirty.

Does Tom have both on CD ? Any idea of cost? How to get in touch with him?

Joe,

It's a good idea to read the Operators Manual from cover to cover as you'll learn a lot about how to drive and use the GMC the way
GMC wanted you to! It really won't help you with repairs.

Here's a link to the GMC manuals on Bdub's website:

http://www.bdub.net/factory-manuals.html

I would suggest you download all the manuals X-7525, X-7625, and X-7725 as there were changes and additions made (note my email Rear
Suspension System Inspection and Overhaul.

For a DVD with the MM's on them and a WHOLE lot more click on the link below:

http://www.bdub.net/tomlins/index.html

The manuals are out of print, Cinnabar sold reprints but AFAIK they're all gone, however, you could call them on 800-720-2227. I
have a set here in Sydney and the photos suck.

Setup a search on eBay for 1973-1978 GMC Motorhome Manual; they appear regularly.

Regards,
Rob M.
