Hi all, just joined and will be picking up a 2016 Auto-trail Apache 634 Hi Line on Saturday. My first Motorhome!

Previous owner says it is possible that there will be no owner's manual for this (I am not even sure if there are owners manuals for Motorhomes!) and therefore wondered if an idiots guide to this type of vehicle and its accessories might be on-line. In particular it would be nice to know how the basics like water, gas, lights, heating etc. all work.

If anyone knows where to go searching, or if anyone has theirs saved as a document, maybe I could ask for you to email me. Not sure what the etiquette is on these matters.

I would be very appreciative - and it will give me some reference material when we settle into our first pitch on day 1 and the wife wants her first mug of tea.

Really looking forward to meeting some of you really soon.

Check your spare tyre matches your other wheels. Our bought new Autotrail , now four years old had the wrong one . God knows what would have happened if we had had a puncture on our travels.

Spare tyres are very often different from what is fitted the car/vehicle, when fitted, space savers are intended to just get you to a place of safety or the nearest tyre place.

It was a full tyre completely different from the ones on the Motorhome.

Did not fit.

Autotrail s explanation was it must have been swapped at some stage.

Are new items often swapped I ask.
