  1. Anyone have an electrical wiring diagram for an 1986 Escaper? the coach/camper part I’m currently taking our Toyota apart and trying to test some stuff in the camper. thanks.
  2. thanks. how did you build the base for the over cab? the “floor” that would be under the mattress?
  3. I need to replace one of my rear wheels and the leaf springs are pretty flat so there's not much clearance to get the wheel off and out from the wheel well. What's the best spot to lift up on with a jack to raise the body/camper up? Or is it not a good idea to try that? Thanks. We were thinking in front of the rear spring and just behind the front tire on the frame.
  4. can anyone tell me how the floor in the bunk area is normally built? it looked like this when I bought it. thanks.
  5. My 1986 Escaper has leaks. Not exactly sure where, I suspect the vents at least. The ceiling inside is soggy, the floor is soggy. Not sure about the walls yet. We are planing to replace the ceiling, floors, walls and sealing the roof somehow. I've posted a photo of the current state inside the camper, and a close up of the roof from the inside. It looks like the ceiling is made up of thin wood then foam board then more thin wood. Any suggestions for replacing the ceiling? is there a better way to build it or insulate it? Can I do this without removing the roof? I've put a photo of the roof below. I figure it's best for us to reseal the roof before rebuilding the inside. Thanks in advance for your help.
  6. great. that's a relief. thanks for the heads up on the driver's side wheel studs and nuts. so that's only the front driver side wheel? or the rear as well?
  7. My wife and I just picked up a 1986 Toyota Escaper. It's got 32k miles on it. Lots of water on the inside of it but the bones seem very good. It moves forward, backward, and stops. All the outside lights work. Very little rust on the body. I think we did pretty good for $2500 (Canadian). Here's some photos of it. We plan on gutting the inside, rebuilding it, and then living full time in it for a while in western Canada. I'm glad this community exists and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. For now, I just thought I'd say hi.
