It depends on what type of owner you are.  If you are like me, a backyard
mechanic who can do easy to moderately difficult jobs, I think the Haynes is
better.  If you are an experienced mechanic and no job frightens you, the
Bentley works great.  I have both but I go the Haynes more often.  The
Haynes is also much cheaper to get (through the Bus Depot).

An example is when I recently replaced my water pump.  The Bentley said
almost nothing with the assumption that an experienced mechanic would know
how to do it.  The Haynes takes you through it step by step with great
pictures.
