Sorry to hear mother nature shut your vaca down chefDave

Just to rub it in a little San Diego will be in the 70-80's all week

I did the same thing when I bought my RV...No smog and bad paper work and of course smog failed I had to install new plugs wires and distributor the biggest headache was getting the pink slip finished up.. The guy I bought RV from never put RV in his name and moved out of state.. I had to track down the guy he bought the RV from sit outside his house until he came home and ask him to finish up paper work lucky he was nice enough to help me out so don't feel to bad you're not the only one who got excited and drove off to find out there's still work to be done to get RV registered.

just install the o2 sensor your self a smog shop is going to charge you more for part plus labor plus another test ToyotaNation might have some good info for o2 sensor fails.. good luck Steve

Got to love San Diego you can camp year round!! Talking to the ranger she said this time of year is the best time(as far as not being Disneyland she already talking about the busy 4 week spring brake crowd .. My goal is to go on 3 more trips before June and summer season......

went on a nice 2 day trip up to Palomar Mnt. used my GPS and it took me up a nasty 16 mile dirt road 3,000 ft up to the Mnt. I prob. should of not tried this road and turned around when sign said "pavement ends no RVS or Trailers The road was steep muddy and very bumpy The RV drove up in low most of the way around switch backs and plain nasty roads their was no where to even try to turn around. Was shocked and pleased RV made it. I don't want to drive these roads but it's nice to know RV will make it..... I pushed the fuel gage light ran out of gas 1/2 block from home .. was a little over 20 miles from home when light came on.. The trip was great had the place to my self Sunday and just a couple of people Saturday Just me and Roxy my dog peace and quite was just what I needed

you may have to check the lights themselves one might be shorting out... take off 1 fixture at a time and try lights to see if the lights are the problem might be a good time to replace all fixtures to led...

I have a 1987 mini cruiser its under bench bed in a black box next to converter you could follow the wires from coach batt..to find fuse box

5'11'' I can walk under ac in my mini cruiser just make it buy a hair..

What I used to secure my tv was a simple installed eyebolt on cabinet with a adjustable eyebolt on the tv wall mount I just tight up when traveling (I do use a bungie to hold mount arms together )

my 1987 Mini Cruiser heater was not igniting clean up everything and shop vac outside vent and all around heater now works great.. cleaning would be my 1st choice then start to check electric components good luck Steve

I like it a lot better then the government trip planning site I was using

Thanks Roy the best thing I got the headliner for $10 on CraigsList

sounds like you have a great RV start with the basic keep RV level where your going to park it.. get to know your RV and how to work everything turn on fridge (rv most be level) turn on propane and lite stove & oven (make sure turn off pilot light when done/turn off propane) turn on thermostat for heater should lite up and blow HOT air.. put some water in holding tank and try out all faucets and toilet (this will depend on how cold it is outside if your in a "Cold Winter State" make sure you have no water in holding tank or water lines you will have to "Winterize RV") lite water heater (should lite buy flipping a on off switch) You might do some little thing for engine change all fluids (oil transmission coolant)change spark plugs & wires.. look at the tire date (should be under 8 years) with no cracks.... you can call Toyota and give them your vin# to see if you need your head gasket replaced for recall good luck on your RV!!!! show us some pics Steve

I use a small webber charcoal grill do not like cooking on lp coals are the way to go for me....

all of my light issues where ground issues when I replaced running light to led (dimming or fuse blowing) reinstalled a couple of led and is working great

the last piece to the cabover remodel installed new blue headliner to match coach color also took off the old brown screw cover and glued cut and trimmed new cover using some of the blue headliner

Thanks John Mc talked about that we don't want a big bang DanAatTheCape Posted Today, 05:13 PM remove the negative cable at the battery - then you can touch the hotwire at the starter with your wrenches all you want

ok found fuel filter and know what I have to do to replace it.... here is a link on how to put fuel filter in a better spot if you think your going to change more.. http://www.yotatech.com/f116/22re-fuel-filter-relocation-195162/

I changed my exhaust manifold gasket with out breaking any bolts! was the original gasket and leaked from manifold flange you name it.. Of course I only change manifold gasket first with out changing flange gasket (and it leaked bad) the clamp the holds exhaust was stripped out so had to take manifold off to replace flange gasket. so it took me 1/2 a day after wrestling exhaust around but everything is back together and not leaking .. First time I've changed 1 so I'm happy job well done and free labor!!!

Thanks John good advice....
