Newcomer, first camper purchase looking for more info

[Heartsick]

Hello all! recently purchased my first camper with my girlfriend, we picked up a not toooo shabby 1988 aljo aries, ive been scouring the internet looking for information but keep coming up with nada, any information for avenues to follow for spec sheets on an older model like this since skyline's rv side and evergreen rv went into smoke? the full breakdown is a 1988 skyline corporation aljo aries 2630C travel trailer, thank you al in advance and i look forward to all the help that can be offered

Welcome to the forum! The chance of finding a spec sheet on an older camper is about the same as finding one for a unit built last week-very rare. What isn't rare is info on all of the systems that the manufacturer used in your trailer. Every appliance has a manufacturer, model number and serial number that you can use to find instructions.
The forum is also a wealth of info as some styles of appliances have not changed in many years.

thank you lol and i had a feeling it may be a bit like finding the ark of the covenant but was trying partially to just be lazy about figuring out the lug pattern which i assume is 5x4.5 since it was extremely common in that timeframe for vehicle and trailer applications

You aren't likely to find much information on an RV that is now 35 years old even if the manufacturer was still in business. Your best bet would be one of the vintage RV clubs.

It still is common, in fact about the only 5 lug pattern size used. How to measure lug pattern sizes.
