Looking for other owners of the 1978 through 1982 with the dodge 440-3

Hi Friends,
I am a bit unusual as I take my rig (Clarity she/her never it) to Burning Man almost every year.  I purchased her for next to nothing as she was in sad shape and it was just for 1 year.  15 years later she is still going strong although that harsh enviroment has taken it's toll.  I do love this rig so much and I hope to have the time and space to restore her to her original glory.  I have the original coach owners binder and owners manual if anyone wants a copy.  I have also done a ton of repairs and know a lot.  Currently trying to figure out a problem with the tag axle air bag pressure regulator.  Anyway if anyone wants to connect reach out.

Hey Greg,

I know there are a few vintage owners that can help, and plenty of other interested parties.  One potential source is @jaholder76 (James Holder) who has done several restorations.  You can try to contact him via PM.

RE: Manuals/Documentation.  I'm always interested in getting digital copies of vintage documentation, we try our best to keep a good archive of that information so its not lost.  There is a copy of a 1979 owners manual not sure if that is the same as what you may have or if what you have is in better condition.  If you want to attach copies of what you have I'll be sure to add them to the Media section as well as our Wiki.  I'll PM you with my email address should that be easier to send copies.

Hi Steve

I will scan and upload when I return from our annual adventure to Black Rock City.

Thanks for responding
Greg

I used to work on those coaches. What do you need to know about the regulator? If it is leaking, you can get another one at Lowes or Home Depot.
