Seller Info. State/Region: Nebraska. City/Area: Sidney. Name: Trevor.
Phone: (308) 249-3710. Email: More Details & Pictures LOCATED IN SIDNEY, NEBRASKA. I purchased this Chinook a year ago with the intention of remodeling the interior, however, I have not had the time.
I drive the Chinook to work 2-3 times per week and it was the daily driver of the previous owner. I am not very mechanically inclined but everything seems to be in working order. The truck could likely use a tune up but it has never died on me– the farthest road trip I have taken it on was about 4 hours @ 65mph. The previous owner also made numerous trips to Montana so additional insulation was added for winter camping. Includes a stove, sink (no tank), fridge and heater.
My plan was to gut and re-finish everything on the inside with the exception of the custom counter top and pop-up canvas as there are no major tears. Most everything other than the counter top is original. Cheap to insure and register.
If you have any questions at all, please let me know. I am open to driving it to Fort Collins for a serious buyer.
Chinook RV: Frequently Asked Questions Problem: If at a campground what kind of Amp Service is used - 15, 30 or 50? Suggestion: Our Motor Home shore power cords are designed for 30 Amp service. Problem: Batteries will not hold a charge. Suggestion: Check the water levels. Deep Cycle Batteries need a slow charge if they go dead. A 3 Amp trickle for 2 or 3 days.
Transparency helps stop these problems developing. A solid gold investment sets you free from the risk of credit default or banking failures. Owners manual for gold's gym 450 treadmill. The modern world has audited accounts, and open exchanges, and 'public' companies for a good reason: because previous generations understood that when investment stops being open and transparent, and reverts to cosy secret deals, complex contracts, and big executive bonuses, then it is general investors who get cheated. In stark contrast to the burgeoning complexity of modern securities markets gold investment remains uniquely simple, and - dealt the right way - uniquely transparent.
A higher Amp charging rate will only give the battery a surface charge that will not hold. Problem: The house battery goes dead. Suggestion: The batteries may not be charging from the engine alternator. Check the fuse in the power distribution panel (See Ford Owners Manual).
Check the water levels in the batteries. Problem: Furnace does not run overnight. Suggestion: The batteries are low. The furnace and refrigerator are the two biggest draws on the battery system.
Problem: The furnace is inoperable. Suggestion: Low battery. The furnace fan has to run at a pre-set RPM before the gas valve will open and allow the furnace to light. Check the heat vents to make sure the butterflies are open, this will also cause low RPM's if they are closed. Problem: The furnace blows cold air. Suggestion: Check the LP bottle to make sure that it is on.
Check the thermostat for the temperature setting. Check the butterflies in the heat vents to make sure that they are open all the way. Problem: Will not switch from generator to shore power. Suggestion: There is a built in transfer switch on the converter that performs this function. This would need to be checked by a Service Center.

The fuel line may be sucking air. Problem: The propane gauge reads wrong. Suggestion: Float in the tank may be stuck - take to an authorized propane dealer for repair. The tank has an 80% shut-off valve in it, which is required by law. This means your tank, when filled will only read about 3/4 full.
Problem: The propane gauge is inoperable. Suggestion: There are 2 gauges on the propane system. There is a sight gauge at the tank itself and an indicator on the monitor panel.
If the monitor panel is not working, check the wire connections at the sight gauge. Note that the gauges are in different increments - one reads in 1/4's and the other reads in 1/3's. Problem: The LP detector keeps going off. Suggestion: This device has two functions - it will indicate a low battery as well as an LP leak. If your LP detector goes off do not assume that it is a low battery condition - Check for LP leaks. Problem: No power at the outlets in Coach. Suggestion: Check the GFCI outlet located on the shower wall just inside the back door.
Problem: The TV has no reception except when on cable. Suggestion: Check the A/B switch to make sure it is on TV setting. This switch is located in the front overhead storage. (This switch has 2 functions: the 'A' side which is the upper button controls the antenna & VCR; the 'B' side which is the lower button is for cable hookup which may also be used for hook-up for a DSS antenna.) Check the TV menu screen for setting TV in antenna mode. Check the TV antenna booster to make sure it is turned on.

Chinook Rv Owners Manual
Here are some of the Chinook owner's manuals I've collected. Most are Concourse and Premier, but there is one Glacier. I have yet to digitize the paper copy of my 1999 manual.
I don't know about other years, but my '99 Concourse came with a blue, vinyl-covered loose-leaf notebook with a Chinook logo on the cover, and the manual was in that notebook. I have found it useful to browse through 'other year' manuals because sometimes a feature is shown that I have but is not in my year's manual. A couple of examples I can think of are the added fuse blocks by the driver's left shin, and the location of the coach chassis grounds on the frame (both of which I have).
I will PM Manitou and see if maybe we can have the file size limit raised for this forum sub-section. If so I'll come back and replace the fuzzy 'reduced size' manuals with the larger files (which are crisper). Edited to add: Size for this sub-forum upped to 10mb, so I'll replace the 'fuzzy' manuals now. If you have a manual to add, please do (just make a reply to the thread). If there are questions and/or comments, maybe start a new thread in another section so that this is 'just reference data' and not discussion. 1995 Chinook Owner's Manual (Concourse and Premier).
