I have a cambo 4x5 and never needed a manual. Just get a good book on view camera technique - the cameras are all fairly the same, and there are no electronics or controls to deal with. If you're new to view camera shooting, a good book will show you lots of tips and tricks.
The only unique things I can think of - some cameras have geared movements, some just friction and lock knobs, pretty self explanatory...
And the way the bellows clip to the standards, the way revolving backs work, some of those are likely different across brands - but usually easy to suss out, and people here will help with specific questions.
If you must have a manual, check eBay regularly (when you first do a search on eBay, the results page has a button to save the search and have eBay send you alerts when a matching item is listed - that's very very handy, but make sure to do one with "manual" and one with "instructions", or every time someone sells something with "cambo" in the name you'll get an email) and just do a google search - most any photo manual you need can be found with enough hunting!
