Wikipedia lists the 20R up to 1980 and the 22R from 1980 on. Your 79 chassis would definitely have the 20R. The Dolphins were the most popular brand and made the longest of any of the Toy homes. I would imagine many thousands were made. Don't think production numbers are available though Linda S

It's a standard Toyota truck gas cap. Any auto parts store should have one that fits. Linda S

Your brand new fridge doesn't need to be perfectly level. Just comfortable inside is enough. Always the chance you got a defective one and the problem just showed up. Get a thermometer in there so when you call Dometic or Norcold you will have something accurate to tell them. Have your receipt and model number. Linda S

Yeah I would have thought it would have to be sealed. I mean you have been using your cook top and maybe fridge on propane. Yes big hole if you try to remove it now. Wait until you get home. Maybe you could cut the frame off of the heater assembly after you remove it so you could just screw that part back and the door could stay in place. Going to be a challenge to pull the heater and rotate it so the propane line will go through the hole there. Rubber gasket comes out though so you have more room. Or find place to cap it off closer to the tank Linda S

So they removed the thermostat and igniter but left the rest of the tank in place. In the second picture at the bottom, that is your propane line to the water heater. Is that cap on the end closed or is there a hole in it. Should be closed and that means the propane has already been capped off. If it's open I don't know why you have already smelled propane when the tank was on. I would remove that cap and install a closed one if it's not already. Do not cut. Unscrew and screw a new one closed one on using yellow gas line tape. Looks like plumbers tape but yellow. Place you find the cap should have it. Look again at the door too. What are you going to cover the hole with. Door is attached to the water heater frame and if you remove it no door. Linda S Can't see if the water supply has been bypassed. You need that done to remove tank too

Well your not going to have room for jumping jacks but look at the Odyssey's. They have the highest ceiling height but still a bit shorter than you. If your using it for camping and spending a lot of time outdoors many have managed to make it work. Some of them have 2 facing sofa's in the rear that make into a queen sized bed. You need to see if the driver seat is comfortable enough though. Not a lot of room up there for long legs. Linda S

Me either. Lived in Rochester until I was 27 and I never had studded snow tires nor did my family when I was growing up. Linda S

Saw a Sunrader 4 x 4 parked at an auto electrical shop on the way home (north Seattle on Aurora, HWY 99). Was that one of the forum members? Might have been Jason "Kayakthecoast ". Quite a drive from where he lives but maybe it's a really good shop. Linda S

There are plenty of us old ladies driving around in these things and doing just fine. Not getting our brains knocked out or anything. No fancy springs needed. Chris from Vermont lives in hers and regularly commutes from the north east to Texas. Never going to be a Cadillac but very nice driving. You just drove a couple of lemons Linda S

My tranny is oozing now 10 years after replacing the gasket. Gonna get one of those duraprene ones. Sounds good. Linda S

What year Seabreeze was it. Possible it had bad shocks or the air bags were absent or not functional. My 86 drives very smoothly on the highway but on rough roads well it is a truck. You can't really evaluate the ride unless your test driving one with everything in good working order Linda S

So the water heater is disconnected but still in place? And now you want to take it out? I would assume that the propane line going to it would need to be capped off. I'm sure there are propane suppliers everywhere who could do it for you and do it so it's safe Linda S

Too bad they didn't use a Dodge Demon. It could have been a Demon Rader. Linda S

Zack has the same rig as you and he runs 185r14 tires on his. Nope shouldn't matter. The only problem you have is the width of your wheels. Must be pretty wide and you need tires at least wide enough to fit. And tires with a big enough weight capacity. Linda S

Your rig came with 14 inch wheels so I don't think going smaller would hurt anything. Since there don't appear to be any winter studdable tires that big If that's what you need your going to have to go smaller. Just don't know how small you can go on those wheels. Pretty standard size tire is 235/75/15. Shouldn't have a problem finding a winter tire in that size. Linda S

Says it needs some work but looks nice. Might just be a good deal Linda S

275/60/14 haven't been made in many years. If he's still running them he needs to get new tires asap. Linda S

$880 for 7 tires is still a very good price. All season tires too which are pretty hard to find. The only other ones I know about are the Hankooks and some very expensive Nokian's. Linda S

Dolphin tanks from that era were black or marbleized color opaque ABS. If your tank is a translucent white it's a poly tank and someone changed it out and possibly didn't do it right. I'm thinking this is not going to be good Linda S

Do you have 15 inch wheels on that? Linda

110 outlets need you to be plugged in unless you have a generator and it's on. 12 volt cigarette type outlets will work off the battery. Linda S

Too funny. Looks like they mounted a little Sunrader coach onto a Dodge chassis. Maybe a station wagon? Linda S

So does it look like you have only one tank under your RV. When Debbit's tank broke on her 84 Dolphin it was all one piece but internally there were 2 sections. One for the black and one for the gray but separated inside. Pretty sure yours is the same if it's the original tank. National RV certainly made plans so they didn't gas their customers to death. Linda S Oh yours is a rear dinette and middle bath. Some Sunraders came like this too like mine. I don't have a sink in mine and I never use the shower either but I do use the toilet and I have never had any bad smells come up from the shower drain. I wouldn't worry about it

Of course you would have to add shipping from China. Linda S

Tires-easy has very different shipping charges depending on where you live and the tire you buy. Some of their tires are crazy cheap to my location and others are very expensive. The Goform tires are only $9.45 to ship to my house but the Achillies are over 17 dollars per tire. Must depend on the warehouse the tires are stored at or location of their supplier for that tire Linda S I am less than an hour drive from their offices in Benicia but they do not allow any tire pickup. Everything must be shipped
