1998 E40 SuperDuty Dash Lights
I have a (new to me) 1999 Coachmen Class C motorhome (1998 E40 Econoline SuperDuty chassis). I understand these 'cut-away' vans are often stripped down and do not offer all the features of a conventional Econoline van, but:
1. When using the cruise control (speed control) I see no indication on the dash that the cruise is 'set' or 'on'. Is this normal? No lights at all? Or is a bulb burned out? (Cruise works just fine, BTW).
2. Is there a 'Low Fuel' warning light?
Nope, owners manual was not supplied. Thanks for your ideas.

Sorry for the off topic reply...
It is very cool. I have all maintenance records and I KNOW what's been done and what hasn't (and what it needs, too). That's why I'm in no hurry to replace it.
It's almost one owner.
My dad ordered it new (he wanted sliding door, cloth seats, cruise, 5.4 and AC and nothing else) and used it for work. It became his daily driver when he retired in the early 2000s until he bought a used F250 PSD roughly 2006.
As you know, well used (200K at the time) cargo vans have no resale value regardless of condition so I adopted it when he got tired of it being in the way.
We have the same name so the title only changed because it moved from CA to TX.
My dad and I put a lot of good miles on that van together. Usually motorcycle or ATV related.
- Daytona for motorcycle races (they do that generally the weekend before Bike Week) when he used to club race.
- Austin to Detroit over a weekend to pick up a classic MC bought sight unseen.
- Camping at the sand dunes a couple of times.
- Sacramento to Austin together a couple of times.
etc..
Silly to be nostalgic about a plain white creeper van with peeling paint but, there ya go.
I also don't seem to have any pictures of just the van - just pictures of it being used.
