I've been selling on ebay for about 3 years, and yesterday I bought a 1984 Southwind motorhome (great cond & great deal) for buying forays. Does anyone know if it needs fuel additive or can it run on unleaded gasoline. Any info is appreciated.

It didn't come with a manual. I'm trying figure out how everything works. So far, so good, but I need to buy fuel and don't want to blow the engine.

Chances are if it's a 1984 model, it uses unleaded. Most vehicles produced after 1976 take unleaded fuel. (with very few exceptions)
I suggest tomorrow, you call an RV dealer, or a car dealership. I'm not sure what kind of drivetrain it has, but it's likely either Ford, Chrysler or GM, so call one of those dealers.

The engine is a Chevy 454. I'm not gassing up tonight, and I knew I'd get some good info from this board. I guess I'll make some calls tomorrow before filling up. I wanted to go to go to Alabama tomorrow, and might go on if I figure this out. I logged on to the Southwind homepage and asked them to tell me -- so far, no reply.

I kinda thought that economy was important. If I had to feed a heavy vehicle with a Chevy 454 while I was out tracking down deals I wouldn't be in business for long.
