Thanks for the tips! It looks like the relevant service manual would be for a 1989 Toyota pickup. Since I haven't seen the RV yet, I wasn't sure if this was built with a pickup or a van powertrain/chassis. Sounds like it's a pickup. Derek, that PDF link looks perfect! I'll have to find a physical copy as well. Diesel_Aggie, it sounds like in addition to the regular old vehicle checks (brakes, lights, horn, wipers, etc) I should check the seals as well. Any other suggestions about things to check? I'm guessing plumbing and general electrical functionality. Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll see the vehicle for the first time tomorrow afternoon and spend all day Friday cleaning it out. I'm sure I'll have a LOT more questions!

Hi all, I'm new to this board and come seeking wisdom! I was just given a 1989 19' Toyota Itasca. It hasn't been used for many... many years. I'm planning on spending the weekend getting it all cleaned out and hopefully running. I need some help finding an equivalent of a Haynes or Chiltons manual for it, and then some general advice about where to go from here (as far as fixing any know safety problems, improving functionality, general advice, etc.) I'm an engineer and really comfortable with electronics, fixing engines, and doing DIY projects. Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Troy
