I have to echo that.  I use the Haynes Manual in conjunction with the
Bentley, and it's worked great so far.  After this list of course, they're
my favorite resources.  The Haynes is better for step by step instructions
for a lot of things, but it's not nearly as comprehensive as the Bentley, so
it's a good combo.  Also the Haynes doesn't have any camper info.
