This was news to me, it might be for some of you. At my (125 mi away) local Sams they just put out the summer stock of auto batteries. They had AGM size 31, 100ah rv batteries for$199 ea and CG-2 6v 208 ah golf cart batteries for $85 ea. Both by Johnson controls.

On my 86 Escaper the Onan was a factory install. The 22RE has a no pressure fuel return line, it goes about 3/4 the way in the fuel tank. The factory put a T fitting in that line to feed the generator. If the Toy is parked the generator draws the fuel out of the main tank, if the Toy is running it draws from the return fuel.

Easy peasy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77lLYVBFA0o Maybe $200. for labor, if you've run the wires.

Normally the Generator starts from the house battery, check and make sure its charged.

My Escaper had a solid floor with a drain hole and an air exhaust hole cut in it. The door had a wire screen that covered about 50% of the door.

If you can get to the backside of the outside wall. Here's the deal 1 hole. http://www.grote.com/family/micronova-dot-led-clearance-marker-lamp/?prodcat=clearance-marker-lights

Small fans inside the vents. 3 of these would move around 45cfm which should be a big improvement over gravity flow. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-12V-Mini-Cooling-Computer-Fan-Small-40mm-x-10mm-DC-Brushless-2-pin-/231353956765?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ddc5399d A little dremel work should get them inside the vent housing.

Stuff is ALWAYS equal to 1.5 x storage space

You will find that it handles better and rides smoother and is quieter

Here is some new stuff, its a thick bodied paint. It would be great as a custom bra or as a protector for the cabover. The cool thing is that you can just peel off the paint when your tired of the color. http://www.eastwood.com/paints/elastiwrap-coatings.html

This is some new stuff. It is a thick bodied paint and works great for a custom bra for the truck or even the front of the coach. The wild thing is it is designed to just peel off by hand when you get tired of the color. http://www.eastwood.com/paints/elastiwrap-coatings.html

I'm a red guy. The first year I had my Escaper it was showing signs of impending gasket failure. So I removed the head to fix things, wow the original head was shot. Badly eroded around the coolant passages and some cracks starting. I have no idea of P/O mistreatment, but the green coolant wasn't green any more and the transmission fluid looked like mocha. Any a new Engnblder head and cam and things were great and when I sold it the coolant was still red. The red coolant seems to be more idiot proof when used in Toys.

Hows the project going???

its used as a fan control switch for older IH Scouts and Corvettes. Using a little electrical engineering you could use a double throw switch (on/off/on) and make your fan a 2 speed unit. Switches are cheap.

Flying fingers and brain fade. The link is for stuff for a rubber roof, but they make the same stuff for aluminum roofs, just search a bit. The biggest thing is a clean roof to start with

Kool Seal flex tape over the seams, plus one coat of Kool Seal over the tape. Then two full coats over the whole roof. Clean and primed roof is necessary http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-roofs/38-1670.htm

wow, I thought we were getting ripped off here. Reg is 1.95 and ethanol free is 2.35 a gal

Saab and DKW both had 3 cylinder 2c. I had a Saab 850 Monte Carlo GT. Oil injection, ported factory engine with a 3 barrel Solex carb

Measure V at the truck battery, measure V at the coach battery. Subtract coach V from truck V and that is your V drop. Now measure V between the input terminal of the isolator and a clean ground, V at the truck terminal and V at the coach terminal. This will tell if the isolator is OK. A diode isolator will have a .7v drop across it, a properly working solenoid type will have a much smaller drop. The V drop between isolator and the coach battery is the charging wire so just look at its entire length. When I bought my Escaper there was a 1.5v drop between the isolator and house battery. I found 3 different size wires and 4 splices on the charge wire. I replaced with a single run of #6 and had a .15v drop and my house battery was much happier.

Been there, did this. Good stuff. Ted will answer the phone and talk to you about what is best. P.S. your mech is correct, because of the Toyota design machining a warped head will kill the cam in a hurry.

Late spring, early summer. BEFORE school lets out.

Coastal route or I-5 ??

IF the RV is wired correctly the two coach batteries are separated from the truck battery.

An empty tank wont freeze, just make sure they are empty. RV anti-freeze is cheap, a few cups go a long way in near freezing weather

lots of parts here. Try looking at suspension and steering https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1277995,parttype,7276
