  1. Hey Ya Baby! Thank you so much. Think I got this. Will let you know what I find. My RV is for sale on Craigslist South Jersey. (Hope you're allowed to say that here!) Someone is coming to look at it tomorrow. If he doesn't take it home, I'll be ripping the floor up and keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again! Joelene
  2. Thank you all. I do realize I had a leak. I know where the leak is and it is easily fixed. I guess the most important thing I need to know.....Is there cross members underneath the subflooring that I can fasten new plywood to? Thank you all...any more advise would be greatly appreciated.
  3. It's very soft in the middle of the floor and spongy around the perimeter of the batheroom floor. I haven't torn anything up yet! Thank you!
  4. I have a 92 Dolphin and the flooring in th batheroom is rotted. I know I will need to take the toilet out. I guess I need to support the holding tank underneath when I do that? Will I have floor joists going across the body to attach new flooring to? Anyone have any idea how far apart the floor joists are?...and..Any idea of what metrial the floor is made of and how thick? I only want to replace the flooring in the bathroom as the rest of teh coach is solid so I want to try and stay with the same thickness of flooring. Also is the wax ring on the toilet smaller than a standard size? Can I go to the big orange store for a repalcement ring instead of an RV store? Any suggestions for replacing wax ring? Thank you in advance for your help. Appreciate it!
  5. GOOD NEWS: Called Toy Dealer this morning. They have the code and can cut me a key; cost between $4-$8. Have to provide VIN and ID/ drivers license. Was really relieved to hear this cause apparently Toyo started keeping track of key codes in 1992 and my RV is a 1992. Was holding my breath. So anyone with the same problem w/ Toy 1992 and newer can go this route. Anything older may be a problem getting code from Dealer, although came across another company online in Florida who will rpovide key codes for $15. Thank you to all those who replied and tried to help me out. Really appreciate it. Joelene
  6. Thanks for the replies. My coach door has a deadbolt which turns easily (probably Quikset). The other lock on the door is not locked (doesn't work). It is a 92 National Dolphin. From my research, the locking mechanism inside the cab door mmoves horizontally and not vertically. Suppose that's why my slim jim and coat hanger will not work. Can make the lock move but cannot grab onto it. I am jimmying or aiming for the right place but it is impossible to grab onto. All windows are closed tight. Found a place in Florida that supposedly can give me the key code for $15 although nobody seems to be there today. The keys are not in the ignigtion but between the two seats. Even if I could reach them with a wire I would not be able to pull them out with a closed window. Impossible to jimmy top of the door cause there is no clearance with bed over the cab. Do not have AAA. I have watched multiple videos online about using the slim jim and about even picking the locks with paperclips. Tried that too. The reason I know about the movement of the locking mechanism is because I found a diagram of a 93 Toyota truck door online, so I assuming the 92 door is the same. Nothing to grab onto the lock because it is smooth and can't really jimmy the door wide enough anyway. Yes, I know I should have a spare key but I don't. Thought about taking my dremmel tool to the other end of my slim jim to make a lock picking tool but at this point, if I can get a key made it would probably be the most economical thing to do. I understand that Toyota didn't start keeping tract of their key codes until 1992 so I am hoping I can get a code from somewhere cause it is a 92. Ok anybody else with another suggestion that we haven't covered here, I would be happy to hear from you. Thanks again for the replies I did receive. Joelene
  7. Notice sent from my insurance company (re: fire hazard); Norcold frig Recall "certain models" with frig model #'s of 1200, 1201, 1210, 1211 You can go to norcoldrecall.com and there are instructions there in order to determine if you are affected by recall. Briefly, (1) ID frig model # (listed above; (2) ID frig serial # (affected #;s listed on site), (3) ID cooling unit serial # (also listed on site). Or call 1-800-767-9101 for norcold product Recall Info Haven't checked mine yet cause I am locked out but it is off, Thank God! Joelene
  8. Keys are locked inside cab. Don't have an extra set. Don't have AAA. What I do have is a slim jim and a coat hanger. Have looked at several videos (youtube etc) on how to use slim jim, where to position etc. Still no luck. Anyone have any suggestions or does anyone know where I could look at a diagram of the inside of one of these doors. Manual locks. Door handle will not open without unclocking door first. Also, BTY, just received a recall notice for frig (fire hazard). Will post that info for all with id #'s etc shortly, however, knowing you guys on this site, you are probably already aware...but will post anyway. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Joelene
  9. I don't know how many amps alternator is. Will try to figure this out, later? It says Toyota on it, may be original....but got an isolator and 50A breaker today. Even if I have say, an 80A alternator....this should be okay but might blow faster???.... Have the new breaker in between the isolator and where that wire enters the coach. Will finish putting new isolator in tomorrow. No continuity in the old breaker. Found 2 more breakers mounted on the outside of my coach battery box. Will check them tomorrow but breaker from under the hood very rusted. Can I still install the 50A breaker there regardless? Thanks, Joelene 92 Dolphin
  10. Hey Waiter John; Thank you for your help and following my dilemma. RV sored at my friends house so can't get there every day. I have been trying to determine if my alternator is 60A. Believe it is original? from what I can read label says, "Toyota K Regulator builtin in 27060 650(2/7?)0" When I took last readings I figured coach battery was dead. Readings I took at the isolator were on the two larger bolts. The bolt on the right of the isolator looks like it has a little breaker there, very rust (haven't taken it apart yet), before it goes through the firewall. I will take readings on both sides of tghe breaker, as well and let you know. Now if my alternator is 60A, do I want that breaker to be about 50A? Saw Camco Manufacturer P/N: 65226 at rvupgrades.com. Trying for find parts locally in NJ. I have a Napa store near me and saw their part # UP 89685 (isolator) but I am not sure if this is the same part, as it states used for electric trator trailer brakes?...but it looks like the same part! Will send you some more readings asap and Thanks Again for the Help! Joelene PS When I bought this Rv in September the Seller told me the coach battery was brand new and I know it's probably toast for sure now now but I had coach power driving from Florida/ Alabama to NJ and had power for a little while when it was sitting. Didn't drive it since ....like Oct but have started it up every 3? weeks? Just some more background. Will send more readings soon and getting an education! Thanks, Joelene
  11. isloator 1.95 running and 7.54 off but both these reading were fluctuating on the meter. Thank you everyone! Joelene
  12. OK, heressome measurments. Something just doesn't sound right; truck battery 12.6 off 14.2 -14.4 on coach battery 5.0 off 11.65 w/ truck running . Thank you for all the help. Joelene at isolator 1.95 on 7.54 I measured at the isolator on the left post (to battery) and the right post which goes to another small fuse box (?) on the metal by the firewall; the middle post appears to be spliced into a group of wires coming from the alternator Can anyone diagnose me with just this info
  13. The isolator is $20 and it is very rusted looking. Needs to be replaced anyway whether it works or not cause if it's not bad now I'm sure it will go soon. Thanks again!
  14. Hey Waiter; When we previously discussed battery charging, isolator etc you sent me 3 pics. The middle pic, bottom right. That is where a fuse is correct? Could it be a little circuit breaker? Do you know what fuse should be rated at? Also, getting ready to order isolator. Do these have different ratings (electrical)? Saw something very similar on Napa but it was isolator for elec brakes on a tractor trailer. I am going to order from Amazon but they had a little fuse box there that looked like that little fuse, but it was a little breaker and it said on Amazon, that the two were usually bought together. Want to have evrything I need before I start. Haven't looked at that tiny fuse yet. Do I need to know anything about my alternator for selecting the isolator? Thank you so much, Joelene
  15. Thanks again everyone. It may have stopped charging after I pulled that coach battery out partially and shoved (not gently) back in. I did find the isolator mounted on the firewall, thankfully, because someone provided a pic. The little thing looks original (because it is significantly rusted and the connections look like they could be an issue too. I do have a volt meter just have to figure out how to use it ; ) or get some qualified help. Thanks again to everyone....you have al been great! Joelene in NJ
