  1. Have you looked on Car-Part.com? Most/all will be in the US, so you'd have a hefty shipping/brokerage/ duty bill to pay.
  2. This is an interesting mental exercise, but I keep asking myself why we're actually doing it? Better tire selection? Well, there appear to be more 185R14s available than 205/60R16s or 195/65R16s. Load capacities seem to be less than the 185R14s as well. Tire (dual) might not rub together with that offset, but what about tires with frame, bodywork and steering components front ant rear?
  3. I have it in my memory that the Toyota bolt pattern is 6x7.25 (6x184mm). No memory of what the CB is.
  4. These would need modifications to have any hope of bolting on a Toyota FF rear axle. Use up front would also have to be tested for clearances.
  5. For a resistive load (water or space heat, stove), forget solar. Propane is the best way to carry the required energy.
  6. The best Factory wiring diagrams I know of are from Winnebago.
  7. LEDs consume less power than regular lights. Not a problem except for the blinkers. because of the lower power, the blinkers will flash quickly, the same as a 'regular' vehicle does when 1 regular bulb is burned out. There are relays specifically designed to overcome this problem. Where is your wiring 'torn apart'? Just in the rear? The only Sunrader wiring diagram I know of doesn't help with your rear lights. It sounds like you're going to be spending a bit of quality time with a multimeter Fortunately, they're simple circuits
  8. I don't think what you have is based on a Dolphin The only real clue that seems to remain are the stripes on the front fenders, which look original. They look familiar, but they aren't Dolphin. Here's a 1984 Dolphin:- 1983 and 1985 stripes were identical. Perhaps someone else will recognize yours.
  9. What year? OOPS. 1984. So a carburetor? So with a charged battery the starter motor spins the engine over but it doesn't fire?
  10. Check PD for their current converters. With 'Charge Wizard'.
  11. This year is not a 'normal' year. I've seen some crazy prices asked. Whether they're 'got', I don't know. And whether they'll drop in the Fall before other things return to normal, I don't know.
  12. I'd clean the cracks out with a Dremel and fill with gel coat and a fine brush.
  13. I think people who have bought molded carpet kits usually bought for an extended cab to have enough to reach the coach. I assume the same would apply to vinyl. If it's available.
  14. Only to cover the Toyota part. Not the 'house' added by Winnebago.
  15. All done without Photoshop! Just the right lens and small people.
  16. Here's the 1985 Dolphin brochure. Which floorplan do you have? I might be able to post the specific wiring for yours. 1985 Dolphin Micro Mini Brochure.pdf
  17. Same tires all around. Those tires are the right ones. Usually available on Amazon at the same price as WM if you prefer.
  18. To give an idea of what Norcold's 3 degrees looks like, use a bubble level to get it perfectly level and then jack up the front by ~7" (for a typical 137" wheelbase). That's 3 degrees. Probably far from what I'd be comfortable with but easily detected without a bubble level.
  19. As far as I'm concerned, if you need to use a bubble level to check, it's already level enough "to be comfortable to live in", as recommended by Dometic. Of course, if alcohol is involve, you might do otherwise.
  20. The advice from Dometic:- The advice from Norcold:- More from Dometic:-
