Hi Stephen, welcome (to the font of all knowledge! - well caravan/MH anyway! )
You don't mention what year of manufacture is, but typically it appears to have been around from late 1990's to early 2000's! Manuals and info from circa 25 years ago are sometimes hard to find on the internet, as they almost pre-date it!
Firstly, as mentioned elsewhere on your other post thread, it appears to be a 'dealer special' version of a Lunar Solar, 'dealer specials' were just enhanced versions of the stock van, often with upgrades/options included, often with items normally found on higher spec models in the range, often in a bit of a ad hoc fashion.
My van is a dealer special (Cosmos) of a standard Quasar, the user manual that came with is is just the stock manual that covers a range of Lunar vans, NO mention of the Cosmos branding or the specific numerous extra features - you have to work out for yourself from details of higher spec vans which bits are relevant to your van!
Van user manuals are usually little more than a collection of 'cut n paste' extracts from the various manuals of chassis, appliances, fitted equipment etc., and as those parts are common to many models and makes of caravan, it's often easier to find the individual manuals, and just build yourself a library of them to cover most of the info you need. Check the ID plates/labels on appliances for model number etc. The 'official' manual is often a sad excuse of a thing anyway, mine doesn't mention location of the numerous light switches (5 IIRC, not including the 6 switched spot lights all scattered around the van!), or the light(s) actually controlled by each switch - caravans are fun, finding the stuff you didn't know you had!
The other thing with van user manuals is they usually vary very little from year to year unless a major revamp of models, so any manual from a nearby year will in all likelihood cover your van and give you relevant info. Don't be too specific in your Googling, or try variations!
Some info about weights (MIRO, MTPLM, etc.), should be on a 'VIN' type plate (often a sticker rather than traditional 'plate') along with chassis number (the chassis number will usually indicate year of manufacture - Google for the varying formats used), more modern vans tend to have it by the door, older ones I believe on the A frame. Last resort, a crawl underneath and look at the axle, that will have a Max load on a plate attached to it, that will usually exceed the MTPLM, but at worst match it.
Good luck, and happy caravanning.
