  1. It will likely be near the converter box.
  2. It is very rare to buy a used vehicle th at doesnt have shocks that are worn. Almost no one getting rid of a vehicle wants to invest like that. The exception is a sports car they will actually have new shocks but nothing else sometimes. Mine has bilstein hds that are not new but not oe so they probably have 30k miles on them.
  3. Ive sold a lot of cars. a lot of buyers have asked me what the gas mileage is they honestly having no idea The orign of the toyota motorhome gas mileage is there are no epa numbers to go by just the trucks. I think the trucks got 22 mpg. I think i have seen craigslist ads linking to the epa numbers of a toyota ickup.
  4. I put in new plugs and wires. It makes a difference but i still have some roughness in the idle.
  5. Our unofficial estimate is that this swap will give you 1 to 2 mpg in a toyhome I estimate a five speed swap will do a little better and be cheaper If you have an engine swap budget throw in a 3rz from a modern tacomA
  6. None they went out of business in 2009. Then again how often are solar panels returned under warranty? Almost never. I really have never heard of one wearing out. Dont spend a lot of money on warrantys for solar panels thats for suckers.
  7. Im considering selling my lp fridge if they remove it.
  8. One of the coolest toyhomes I have seen is an americana with the roof replaced by a giant skylight.
  9. This is a unisolar panel. Sticks on. Wire goes down the exhaust tube on the other side to the closet where the controller is then another hole through thr closet goes to the battery bay. 120 watts. Ill put two on the roof for 200 watts then a standard 100 watt in front between those two. The problem with unisolars is they are all long and thin but if you made an electrical project of hooking up peices around vents you could cover the whole roof I use two costco size 27 115 amphr batteries but plan to upgrade add 2 golf cart calcium batteries in the mix.
  10. Ya its been rumored for years. When it does come out it will be a lighter miata maybe a perfect rv tow car
  11. Ya the rx7 was supposed to be coming out agai n but got canned. They do still make the motor for sale. The new r 7 was supposed to be based on th miata
  12. Its 3.49 today at uhaul. Not normally that high but not the ideal timeto switch to propane I didnt know the 2013 was the end of thd rx-7. But im sure it will be back I can actually see its niche being a toad car.
  13. I remember them being 100 a year ago they might be somewhere else.
  14. I think if you delete the laptop it wouldI have 136 watts but im going to cut it to 120 so i have twice that size for a laptop and cell phone. The price has gone up shop around for one there might be one Somewhere cheaper So far as weight compared to watts i think its going to weigh less than five pounds. I actually dont think anything else would work You can definitely put a stAndard panel on the side or on thd hood not on the pop top.
  15. Mazda still makes rotary rx7 rotary is always the wAy to go for e gine size vs power. But thats just not what thd consumer wants
  16. I dont like michelin truck tires at all. Plenty of vw van owners like the agilis they order them from europe. If that is your goal to go by brand only. My tires are all new and I wont shop for a long time for the dolphin. ..but if I buy a second toyhome I want to put summer tirez on it so I shop once in a while. Either yokohama 356 or contintal vanco 8s or hopefully something new gets introduced.
  17. Im interested in mature car talk with people who have a little broader knowledge and are actually interesting not attempting some childish contradiction game. I hope you did reax about it I was just making conversation on points that are self evident.
  18. Its what came up in google shopping so trying to pass it on. No guarantees. Please delete photos of me me posted without my permission and stop using my name thanks.
  19. Ya cars are interesting I recomend you read about them. I think the average person knows a little bit more about the car technology of the 80s 90s than you three. But I could be wrong.
  20. In the 70s datsun was a closer competitor to toyota But were talking trucks specifically and in the 80s toyota became king. Well if I say fuel injection I mean real port injection as ive said clearly like 6 times how could you be confused Mpfi is much better than tbi which is dubvious. Read about it what can I say
  21. I am 6 3 and I cannot stand in a dolphin but I think 6 feet would work. Oddyssey is the tallest Theres another tall one but I can remember its name right now. You can see the angle up from the cabover trying to appeal to the 6 foot and over crowd That shower is indeed tricky. Ive never even thought about using it. I use that room for storage.
  22. Ya unisolar is the lightest per inch being very light qnd thin but on the opposite side they need to be large. The weight of a 68 panel wouldnt affect a chinook its the perfect application really
