Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while so thought I'd better say g'day. We have no rig as yet but have been researching until our eyes bleed. I'm sure we will learn a lot from you all and enjoy getting to know you. Now I'm off to post my first question

Just joined up here on the Forum. New to the Grey Nomad experience, so I may be a little under-educated in some areas, so be gentle for now..

G'day All, After a recent rush of blood to the brain, I now find myself the proud owner of a Hino AC140 bus. What I could really use at this point is a workshop manual in any format and even more urgently; the location of the fuse box. Any clues ? Thanks in advance.
