El Dorado Motorhome owners
I have started this blog as a place for El Dorado Motorhome owners to network together. I am the owner of a 1995 Honorbuilt El Dorado C320 Motorhome. I do not have an owners manual for it and would like to get a copy so anyone with the same model that would be willing to help me out let me know. I am also interested in hearing from owners of other models. Let's share our knowledge and experiance about our motorhomes and create a place where we can have an El Dorado family of owners. Since the company no longer exists, all we have is each other so lets get the advise and shared knowledge rolling in.
This is my Baby

Terry;Just stumbled on your blog here.Ive got a 96 Eldorado in pretty good shape like yours.I have single rear wheels though.Its 30ft and Im sure there are tons of similarities.Ive gone through mine pretty thouroughly and have taken quite a few long trips with my wife in it with no problems at all (Darien Ct to Key West a couple of times).Bummer there out of business and an even bigger bummer is I believe there were only a handful made in 96 before they closed their doors.I have a lot of literature and what I believe would be a manual/brochure of some sort that Im happy to copy and mail to you.Get in touch and we'll trade a few RV $tories.....Jordan
ReplyDeleteI would love to get copies of the literature and info you have! Can you scan it ans send it to Chevman57@hotmail.com? We run all over Oregon, Washington, idaho, California, & Utah in ours. It drives great and is very comfortable.
DeleteTerry;Do you still have your Eldorado?.Ive been horrible at getting back to people on this blog.Trying to post a pic but its making me crazy that I can't....I am pretty sure I have a manual or some type of literature from Honorbuilt.I have a factory brochure which I thought was pretty neat.Let me know if your still in your coach.Jordan
DeleteJordan if you can share what you have with me it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks, Tim
DeleteJordan; Just bought 1995 Eldorado 215L w/56k miles, any manual/literature you could share with me would be greatly appreciated .

DeleteHi, do you still own your 30 ft 96 Eldorado? The reason I ask is because I am looking at one that I may purchase. Any weird quicks/issues/info you can share? I am brand new to this, it looks good, low miles 45K, but are therse are weird, known issues you can share?
Deletehi we just came across this blog and we dont have a owners manual either. we just bought a 96 el dorado we think it is at least 30 ft long and has the rear tag axle like the one in the picture The model 320. we would be happy to pay for any materials you might have on the eldorado. is yours a diesel as well? please contact us at awpierce@inbox.com we are super happy to join the el dorado networking family! Amy and Wade
ReplyDeleteI'm considering purchasing a 1994 El Dorado rv that sleeps 8. How do your rv run? Is the comfort level high?
ReplyDeleteThis Eldorado is very comfortable and very spacious as well. It is really to bad no one uses this floor plan anymore. It is a great floor plan.
ReplyDeleteWell it is time to upgrade the taillights on my baby. The Barman type 91 tail lights put on in 1995 are faded and I have trouble with the bulbs making contact. The problem is the angle that the rear bulkhead has. Problem solved. Barman makes an angled base thay fits the bargman type 92 taillight that is currently in use by many RV manufacturers. Only bummer is I would really like to have used type 86 with LED bulbs. I will post before and after photos soon. Terry.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I just bought a 1981 El Dorado 25' Class "C" on a Ford E-350 Frame. It has some small issues but we are working our way through them.
ReplyDeleteIt came with a BUNCH of manuals and other information that I was soooo happy to have. It is at the dealer getting the generator serviced, awning work and a few other things done now. If you need me to I can make a list of what manuals I have and post them.

I just bought a 1977 El Dorado class c on a ford frame. It has issues also and would love to see a list of the manuals you have to see if any of them apply to mine. Thanks in advance, I would really appreciate it.
DeleteI have a 1986 El Dorado with no manuals. I would appreciate any manuals anyone has. I am a motorhome newbie.
DeleteHi,thank you for posting this blog. I just purchased a 1992 El Dorado and I'm also looking for a manual. Any help would be much appreciated.
DeleteHi there. I just purchased a 1987 EMC Encore by El Dorado and I am desperately looking for an owners manual for it
DeleteWe have a 1992 Eldorado Motor home.21 ft on a E350FordChassis. No owners manual. Needing some information.
DeleteDoes anyone have a manual?
Angela Bates; I have a 1987 EMC Encore El Dorado with owners manual—If you’re still in need, let me know...and if you have an idea as to how best to share it with you, screen shots? Photo copied pages sent in the mail? Let me know.
DeleteAlso-anybody know how to troubleshoot a non-working fridge in one of these?
I have a 1988 El Dorado but I'm desperate. I actually still have my manual but the previous owners got it wet and then put it on the dash in the window. I can't open any of the pages. Could you please take screenshots and send those to me. salsa.tlg@hotmail.com. I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
DeleteSharley! Could I please PLEASE PLEASE get the manual for the 87 el dorado encore emc?? Email or whatever is easiest! I'd be so grateful! Just got it and have so much I need to do but am finding it very difficult without the manual. Cant seem to find it anywhere either

DeletePlease add me to this list. Just purchased a 1989 EMC 28ft Class A on the E350 Chassis. Researching and I've found some really interesting things. Chassis manufacture date for my RV was February 1989. El Dorado Motor Company filed bankruptcy in March of 1989, and the completion date for my RV shows July 1989. I feel like I bought Johnny Cash's "One Piece at a Time" Cadillac, so I could imagine parts / manuals / references are hard to find. The Coachmen RVs appear to be the closest to style, trim, and floor plans that I could find. I have a couple of helpful cross references that might be useful. querythequantum@gmail.com
DeleteTerry, I have an Eldorado EXACTLY like yours, same colors and everything. Alas, I did not get manuals either. Did you ever find some? Thanks, Norma.
ReplyDeleteHi, I just got a 86 Eldorado with no manuals found anywhere. Please let me know if you either have anything or where to look. Thanks, Gary
DeleteIf you got a copy of the 86 manual please send it to me at skippersawyer@gmail.com thank you!
Deleteditto on the 86 manual .please send to RV4Me@fanclub.pm
DeleteJust purchased a 96 Eldo and am wondering if anyone has info on the generator and stable jack system. I can not get either to work and was told they do work. thanks
ReplyDeletedid you get you generator to work? Common problem with the onan 4k is mice like to build a nest inside between the motor and the generator head. When you then try to start the engine, the nest breaks the stator pickup off. Only way to fix it is to pull it out, split the 2 halves and replace the pickup arm. May also want to change the condensor and the spark plugs.
DeleteNorma, I think we have all the manuals. Which do you need?
ReplyDeleteI can pay for printing and postage for the manuals please let me know. Thx Tony P
DeleteDo you have an e-manual for a '94 Eldorado?

ReplyDeleteI just purchased a 1996 Eldorado with a single slide and am looking for operator/owners manual. 1st RV. trying to understand the operation. If any body could email or let me know where I may be able to get one would be greatly appreciated tonyprasad9mm@gmail.com . Thx Tony P
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions for determining which model my El Dorado is? Probably a 1996 although I do not have any paperwork to back that.
ReplyDeleteJust got a 1996 that looks exactly like yours. We're scrambling for all the tips and tricks we can find, no manuals for any of the components were included. Leaving tomorrow for a cross country trip. Until purchasing this RV, I'd never been in one...if you've got some tips for the 1996 Honorbuilt Eldorado 320 33ft, please send them my way. I'm pretty clueless. Thanks!

DeleteI'm thinking of buying a 1994 El Dorado that has 30,000 miles on it but needs repairs. The roof has several leaks. The front top corner of the drivers side roof was damaged and water had gotten in at one time. It's been kept under a car port so no more water damage, but the inside is very dirty with mice droppings, rotten wood around the skylight in the bathroom, and a droopy ceiling liner in the bedroom. I'm thinking of getting it having the roof completely re-done, gut out all the furniture and carpet. In your opinion, how much would this RV be worth?
ReplyDeletedropped out of sight for awhile from this site as my Eldorado blew the tranny on the George Washington bridge last august.Quite a show I must say.I mentioned in an earlier post I would try and get something that resembles a manual and try to set it up in email form.Might be able to put together a paper manual but lets take one step at a time.Transmission getting repaired so hopping back into the swing of things .
ReplyDeleteHas anyone here looked at the gvwr rating on there coach?.It seems there were two different weight ratings.One for 11,500 and one for 12,500. My 1996 30ft class C has both ?.The sticker on the door is 11,400 and the aluminum plate inside the coach has 12,500 ?.Wondering is anybody else has these two weight ratings ?
ReplyDeleteJust bought a 96 eldorado with 88k miles. runs good, shifts fine, completely remodeled on the inside. Very excited. What kind of towing capacity can I expect? I need to tow a trailer with a small sedan on it.
ReplyDeleteSold mine.
ReplyDeleteuh uh. so we are only two members?. its awfully lonely at the top......
ReplyDeletethese coaches are,at the end of the day just like thousands of other on Ford E350 chassis.Dated interiors and appliances etc but a cheap entry into RVing.
My parents own a 1995 Ford E350 Eldorado motorhome, and it sits in their driveway because they cannot find the place to add transmission fluid (it's obviously an automatic(. Today they went 76 miles to the nearest RV dealer just to try and find help, but no one there could give them the information!!! Can anyone here help us please? Thanks so much
ReplyDeleteSame place where you check the transmission level, you pour it in there.
DeleteHi, We bought a 19996 a few months ago. Any info on how the tab axle works would be appreciated. (Now have a slight dent when tried to turn in tight spot and the home went the other way). Is the tab axle supposed to be on when driving and off when in tight spot? We do need more practice. Also one of the jacks is bent.Robin, my husband says as you are looking at the engine, on the left side behind the air intake, kind of towards the back is the dip stick (yellow). Very tight area. Hope you have already found that by now. We are very excited about our new old baby. So glad I happened onto this sight.

DeleteFellow Eldoradoans. We have a'96 32ft Eldorado on E350 frame, 460cu gas engine. Have done some work on it. No manuals from Honorbuilt. Driven around the country. No problems. Love It! Very interested in obtaining factory manuals. For those lucky Eldoradoans who can send or email manuals, I would be very appreciative and will pay. Evan - greatgetaways@cox.net

ReplyDeleteEvan;Im not sure how many Eldorado owners there are but Ive done pretty much with mine what you've done with yours.I do have a thick folder in my coach and will look at it tomorrow to see if it is a manual proper from Honorbuilt.I had a transmission issue that I've since sorted out.I can give you some tips on this as it may very well happen to you if you have the E40D tranny.Jordan
ReplyDeleteNot sure of tyranny model. It seems tight and works well. Just had rear seal replaced. I have the Ford E350 manual. Not sure it includes tranny. Always interested in any manual for the Eldorado. Thanks for the reply. Evan

ReplyDeleteI've just purchased a 1995 Classic C 29ft Eldorado. No owners manual and my tail lights are out. Any help would be greatly appreciated
ReplyDeleteMy sister just gave me a 1988 EMC. I don't know much more about it and I'm in real need of a manual. I would really like to take it on the road and do some traveling but I've never owned a motor home before and I know absolutely nothing about it. I don't know how to make the heater work, how to put water in it or how to treat the tanks. I managed to dump the tank and plug it to an extension cord and that's it. I would be happy to absorb the cost of making a copy and sending it to me. My email information is salsa.tlg@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteHey everyone. I have a 1989 el dorado don't know what 34 ft. If anyone can send me a manual for any 89 motorhome by honorbuilt, it would be greatly appreciated. Send to 3mccoys3@gmail.com. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi,. I just got a 1995 ElDorado class C Ford E350,model M-350-W 29ft. I don't have any manuals. If anyone could email me a manual. It would be greatly appreciated. moesallycnj@gmail.com. problems with brakes. Please and thank you!
ReplyDeletehaven't visited this site in a long time. Do you still have you Elderado?. I have some info from Honorbuilt when my 1996 was built (last year they were made)and might be able to help a bit.
DeleteHi, I just found this site as I'm looking at a 96 Eldorado - how is yours holding up? any weird problems or issues to share? I'm reading in this blog some fuel pump problems, I just want to make sure I'm not in for a hurting financially if I purchase this, it's $9k, and looks to be in good shape, lots of patching around the outside seams, but everything works, did you get new tires? any tips or tricks? I'm a total newbie, thank you.

ReplyDeleteThinking of buying 1994 El dorado class C 23ft. Looks clean,8 cylinders, 39K miles but is 6,000 a good price?
ReplyDeletenot a very active site but I just happen to be at my pc to see your post. The coach would have to be in very good shape to command 6k. I mean no delimitation (look very closely for this)and all (or most) systems should be operational. Almost certainly needs tires (Michelins are best but close to 200 each plus a spare)and belts and hoses and probably all fluids changed just so you know they're all good. Not sure about brakes but they should be checked.I would crawl underneath it and spend a good amount of time looking at "everything" . Take pix so you don't have to go back under it . I have a 30ft 1996 Eldorado and really enjoy it but spend a ton of time working on it and a ton of money having work done that I can't do (electrical,tranny replacement etc). If it has the E40D tranny the front seal "will" leak and tranny will have to come out to replace it. The 460 is an awesome engine but expect 8mpg while traveling. You can call me and Ill talk more about it but no matter what you pay high or low you will be upside-down in your investment. Having said all this once its up to speed with reliability you won't have a big loan and will enjoy the coach. Once you understand this you will understand the game of RVing. Its not a cheap way to travel but has its other attractions .Hope this helps,Jordan
ReplyDeleteOkay so I recently bought a 1993 El Dorado class C, it drives really smooth but once I reach over 50 my speedometer needle bounces back and forth and soon after the check engine light comes on, I'll stop and turn the engine off for a few seconds and proceed under 50 miles an hours and the light stays off...am I having a vacuum issue or a computer issue any ideas anyone?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about buying a 1993 class C. How do you like yours? Were you able to get an owner's manual? Thanks.

Anyone have a manual for a 1976 Ford El darado RV>
ReplyDeleteI have a 78 looking for a manual as well
DeleteI have an 1977 Ford Eldorado RV
DeleteI may have a manual or sections of an original one that relates to my 1996.Most RV systems are the same or very similar so you can find how each one works online very easily. If I can dig it up I will post back here. One tip that you may or may not know. Your coach needs to be driven in a regular basis to keep it running correctly. Sitting not being used is the absolute worst thing you can do . Moisture management is the 2nd most important thing. These things breath with hot and cold expansion and they will leak like theres no tomorrow and rot quickly. I swear its designed into them but they need to be checked very very closely in all corners for any type o0f leak which should be dealt with immediately. Delamination will destroy the value of your coach and cost you a bundle to repair and still will be a known water leak repair which will be a bargaining chip for the next buyer.Use them and dont let them leak or build op moisture. Mice are as bad as the other two problems I mentioned....

ReplyDeletePlease email at ambervaughn221980@gmail.com
DeleteWife and I bought a 1992 E250 Eldorado conversion van about 3 years ago. Nice looking though it does not go up hills very well at all. It has the 351 Windsor engine in it. Runs good though just it does not like climbing hill, and mountain areas? forget it.. It slows WAY down. Anyway, she loves it, me, not so much lol. I find it rather uncomfortable to sleep in since it has low head room back there when the bed is made out. We have also replaced the A/C unit on the top and also the engine compartment unit as well since it was the old refrigerant type and didn't work anyway. We also placed the fresh water tank pump as it developed a leak. Bypassed the water heater since we never use it anyway and also removed the refrigerator since it didn't work all that well either. We now use that space for storage. And today I pulled the fresh water tank out because we were getting wet spots on the carpet so wanted to find the leak. turned out, the leak is from a small bad spot on the bottom of the tank so I ordered a new one. It wasn't cheap lol..Was going to just patch the old one but looking at it closer, it had developed cracks along the bends at the bottom, which were not leaking there however, figured it may not be long before it did split open. We use the upper, above the cab, section for storage instead of sleeping since all our kids are gone and grown. Anyway, all in all, it's not a bad little RV unit.Just wish it was more comfortable to sleep in lol.. The wife has no trouble sleeping in it. And the little generator works great!! Has a lot more power than I thought it would have though. 5.8KW .. Anyway, saw this site and thought, why not, just write a little bit and say hello to those who may still be around at times..
ReplyDeleteHi, we just purchased the same camper, it was listed as a 92 but is in fact a 91. Agree with you on the tired motor, too small for the vehicle. We haven't tried it out yet as I just picked up the tag this week. Everything is working so far, only thing I haven't tried is the stow.

ReplyDeleteI just purchased a 21' El Dorado 1976 with an Ford Econoline 460 7.5 Having a hard time finding correct parts. Any manuals would help or any websites. In the process of draining fuel from both tanks,install new fuel filters (2 off each tank and 1 to carburetor). Dogs and stalls from a stop. New air filter already, probably install new plugs too.
ReplyDeletewhen I had my eldorado I had a similar issue and changed out a ton of stuff before we figured out it was the throttle positioning sensor on the side of the transmission.

I just purchased a 1995 Ford Eldorado and I cannot seem to find the house batteries I noticed if there are two batteries under the hood but other than that I cannot find any other batteries anywhere? I did happen to notice that there are what looks to be two metal boxes underneath where the generator is on the driver side, but I can't get a good look to see if those are actually batteries in there I do recall feeling the wires in the top of them but still I need to get like a mirror or something to see what is actually in there also where what is the switch that I keep seeing on the driver side door next to the footboard as you're stepping in there's a metal switch and there's nothing that says what it does or what but it doesn't do anything when I flip it so does anyone know what that is?
ReplyDeleteHouse batteries located just behind driver seat under the chassis
DeleteThe switch is for switching between 12v or 120v landline so it sits in about a 7 o'clock position when you not plugged in to 120v for operating 12v self contain mode then off pos is about 4 to 3 o'clock position for when you plug in landline or 120v for operating that stuff and charging the 12v system at the same time

Wow.... this is amazing, thank you so much for starting this blog.... My wife and I just purchased a 1988 emc eldorado, it has the 454/400 in it and 37,714 original miles!!! The motor puurs like a kitten but the sides have split apart around a few of the seams, does anyone know what would be my best course of action for this project? I'm fairly new to this so ANY information would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

ReplyDeletejust bought a 1993 El Dporado on an E 350 Chassis. Nice condition, but I cant locate any batteeries witht he exception of the one under the hood. Is that it or am I missing someting?
ReplyDeleteHi Folks,
ReplyDeleteJust found a one-owner 30foot Class C El Dorado with the 460 Ford engine & AT, with 50,000 original miles out of a TX estate sale.
(The tires are even "relatively new" = 22 months old.)
I, too, am looking for the owner's manual IF anyone has one.
(I will HAPPILY pay to get a GOOD Xerox copy of the factory manual.)
HAPPY RVing to all,
Yours, Tex

I sold my eldorado but on my new jamboree I need to plug in the shore power cord into the generator receptacle.It should be visible if you look around
ReplyDeleteI have just got a 93 El Dorado and I'm looking for a manual for it. I will pay! Thanks as.nealco@ gmail.com

ReplyDeleteHello Eldorado bloggers. I have a late 1995, 32ft Eldorado Model C310, Class C on an E350 cutaway chassis. I have replaced the fuel pump twice. Not fun. It's located in the top of the gas tank that has to be dropped. Never again. I plan to cut an access hatch in the floor before I ever have to replace the fuel pump again. Before I cut the floor, I need to know why there is slight hump in the floor between the bathroom and shower. Is the hump used as a chase for electrical wiring or maybe for plumbing piping or maybe as a relatively flat 1" high duct to transfer hot air from the heater duct under the shower to heat the bathroom? If any of you Eldorado E350 experts know the answer, please let me know. Thanks. Evan..........greatgetaways@cox.net
ReplyDeleteI replaced a dry fuel fuel line on my old Eldorado before I sold it.$500 later but I wasnt spilling gas everywhere after a fill up.My guess is you are right that the hump is wiring as the heating system is really only flrxible foil ductwork that comes out of vents in the walls as I remember.There the same as on my 2006 Fleetwood jamboree.I do remember there being a safetey valve of some sort right on top of the tranny.Its right there in front of you when you take the doghouse off.Sometimes thats the culprit if you ever have fuel issues again
ReplyDeleteProud new owner of Vintage 86 Class C Eldorado Mirada 270C. She beautiful. Well taken care of.
ReplyDeleteHow do you cut the ac on when the generator is running on 1993 eldorado
ReplyDeleteI just purchased (two days ago) a 1996 El Dorado 32' class c motorhome with the ford 7.3 ltr power stroke diesel and only 72k miles. I too am looking for any owner's information available. Please forward any you ay have to marsh2599@gmail.com. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. I have a 1986 EMC ElDorado 27' Class A with 21k miles. Any owners manuals out there? Anything or an Onan Emerald Genset 1 would be appreciated, too. Thanks! brd2trs@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteStill looking...
DeleteWe just purchased 86 36 ft Mirada
ReplyDeleteHI, I know this is way later than your post - but I am looking at a 96 Eldorado 30 ft, C 295, It looks great, fairly low miles, 45K, price is okay - does anyone have any info they can share that may own one of these? I read way below in comments a problem with the fuel line, anyone have any tips/tricks, any info they can share about a class C Eldorado? I'm thinking of buying one so I may travel with my pets and keep them comfortable. I just want to made sure I'm not off-track or making a bad decision? any ideas/suggestions/tips? thank you in advance!!
ReplyDeleteAny problems or issues to share? also, has anyone purchased new tires? recommendations? I'm thinking to be safe I should purchase new tires/alignment to get off to a good start - its a 1996 with mastercraft courser lt225/75r16 tires so I'm thinking they are the original ones? Please keep this blog up and running - this would be my 1st rv so want to share all info and vice versa, thanks
