Bethany Citation 88 PU

[Robbym70]

Hey all,

In march I purchased a  1971 Bethany Citation 88 Pop Up through Ebay.  The camper is in great shape for it's age but the owner didn't have a manual for it.  Any chance anyone on the board is a Bethany Citation 88 Owner and would make a copy of their manual for me.

Thanks...

Sorry I can't help you with the manual, but welcome to PUT!  Good luck with your camper.  Have you used it yet?

Welcome to PUT
your best bet on something this old and out of production, is to search the web for other owners and contact them to see if you can get a copy of the manual.
keep in mind that the PU's are put together about the same, so if you have a certain question or problem, just ask away.

Bumpity bump....

I found a manual by contacting the manufacturer...well they used to manufacture them.  Turns out the camper was made by Bethany Christian Fellowship in MN -- a seminary...they made campers in the 70's and 80's to support themselves.  Now the publish religious textbooks.

Anyway I called them and they hooked me up with an old timer who was the manufacturing manager back in the day.  He hooked me up and I got my wiring squared away.  He also said Bethany Campers were the Cadillac of campers in their day.  If you could see how well it's held up over the 36 years since manufacture you'd surely agree...

Anyhow...looking forward to season two...

I too have a '71 Bethany Citation, although it's an "86".  Can you post some pics?  Check mine in my webshots link in my sig.  I'd also like to point you in the direction of a Yahoo Group dedicated to the Bethany Campers!Click HERE!
