  1. Thank you for your responses! I completely forgot that this was way back in September! What ended up happening was the shop completely replacing the electrical panel. Everything works now!
  2. The part is called the Bargman Assist Bar. http://bargman.com/products/other-lights/porch-utility-lights/assist-bars-lighted/nl7!KsCEuqnpB1zs!IictLI%7CUhw0ykd4FWqlZZbo9lU= I bought mine from eBay but it was much cheaper than this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BARGMAN-Assist-Bar-Lighted-with-Switch-Chrome-70-32-001-74-32-001-/201473569690?hash=item2ee8c2b39a:g:nikAAOSweW5U4j6g&vxp=mtr They do appear on and off on eBay.
  3. Hi guys, I have two questions regarding the house batteries. 1. I need help on determining which wires go to + and to - 2. I'm asking because whenever I plug in the rv into our house ac, one of my 15 amp fuses pop. I disconnected the coach battery and re connected to ac, and the fuse did no pop. So I'm confused. Could it be my wiring? Thank you guys so much for any help.
  4. I have nothing to tell you on how to work the HydroFlame furnace but I have read in the yahoo forums that certain models were recalled. I don't know from which years but you can try and search in the archives. Ours was probably one of the deffective ones as the previous owners had some accident with it in that when I took the heater out, the carpeting as well as certain portions under the sink had black soot. Of course I niticed this, after we bought the toy. I completely took out ours and bought a Mr Heater Buddy. I'm sure a lot of people here have great advice on how to get yours working again.
  5. HI Warrior92 - When unfolding and folding back up, you do need to reach the top of the RV right? I'm also on the small side - If I fully extend my arms, I would probably reach only about 3/4 to the top. So this means I would need a ladder of sorts right? Thanks.
  6. This has been around for a while but I just discovered it. Similar to tbe bimobil above, I think this is the closest we can get to a Toy home. Put these on a Tacoma flat bed and you should be good to go :-) Northstar Escape Pod 750 http://tinyurl.com/4owz2pb Northstar Escape Pod 900 http://tinyurl.com/4dssqhw
  7. Thanks Bunneys! 84TOYRV - its an 89 Dolphin with, like you said rear dinette. I think Derek got it correctly. The brochure i have shows 550 - but its a slightly different layout. Went to have it smog tested this morning and I was just worried since its a pretty old MH no mater what. We are the 5th owners, but the folder that we have holds all of the receipts of service that were done to it since the first owner. Seems like each one loved this MH. My fears were allayed when the results came out. It passed with flying colors. A testament I guess not only to Toyota, but to each owner that came before us. We don't have any plans of breaking this chain :-)
  8. Thanks Derek! Pretty clean. You can see the clouds out back, rainy here in Los Angeles. Thank goodness no leaks :-)
  9. Thanks for all the help guys. Here's George:
  10. Lee & Joan - Thanks so much for your help. We spoke on the phone dunno if you remember. That conversation really helped a lot. John Mc - Thanks for the advice. Do you have a specific brand of the sealer? Andrew - The spray on bedliner sounds very interesting. I really want to make this baby last. Is this similar to the bedliners they use on trucks? Thanks so much again.
  11. Ahhh "clearance lights" Thanks so much! Do they have these in Pep Boys?
  12. Finally got our 1989 Dolphin :-) Thanks so much to all of you guys. I have a few questions though: 1. I plan to do a full inspection of the roof. It should be able to support my weight right? I'm 150 lbs. 2. More on roof repair, do I remove the older/earlier seals they did, or just add to it? Is it OK to use sandpaper to smoothen them before applying over? 3. More on seals - is it better to use Etenabond vs traditional liquid sealers? Also, since its kinda old, the color is off white. Is there a seal that can match the color? 3. Is there a place where I can source lens or light covers for the small exterior lights? These are the 5 lights that can be found above the window, outside of the bunk bed (dunno what its called? Thanks again guys. We are very happy and excited.
  13. Yeah I just don't get it. Why don't they make pickup based RV's here anymore? With the high fuel and all I don't know why manufacturers don't do it :-(
  14. Thanks Derek. I'm down here in sunny Los Angeles :-) There was a supper duper nice one last week. It had the dining table at the back so it folds down to make a really nice sized bed. These babies are gone like in minutes. Oh well. I really prefer the newer ones, V6 1990 and above.
  15. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate all the input. I checked the Toy over the weekend and it was in pretty bad shape. Interior was pretty dirty, unkept. Outside it was worse. Lots of dents, front grill missing, and a some hits on the camper shell (dunno the exactt term) Whats worse is that its not registered, not for 2 years. So dunno if this will pass smog. Pretty disappointed. Back on the hunt....
