New Owner 88 Regency

Hello,

We just purchased a 1988 regency with 19,250 miles. It needs a lot of work from not being used but it starts and runs great. It does not have any paperwork as far as what does what so if anyone has anything to help point me in the right direction that would be great.
First order of business is to get some tires on the coach since they have lots of cracking on the sidewalls and its a 6 hour drive home. Any recommendations on tires and or belt sizes for a 3208(just in case) would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The tire specs are on the VIN tag which should be on the wall near the driver seat back

If you cannot read the numbers on the existing belts then get the engine model, serial and arrangement numbers off of the tag on the valve cover and call a Caterpillar dealer for replacement belt(s). The A/C belt will probably not be available from Cat as they did not furnish this but you would not require this belt to make it home.

I took a picture of the vin tag but it doesn't seem like that tire size is very common anymore. The tires that are on it currently are 275/80r22.5

As far as the arrangement for the engine I took a picture of it but I am 6 hours away currently so I was wanting to get some parts together and install them before leaving for home.
If it helps its on a Gillig chassis with the CAT 3208
