another way to achieve flexibility for materials such as plywood or mdf is to score cut the back side. for example if you have a quarter inch thick material, make score cuts typically one half the thickness. or 1/8 inch deep. the closer apart the score cuts are from each other, the more flexible the material will become. caution, if the score cuts are too close together, or too deep you may break the material while handleing, and or installing. i would encourage doing some trial or test pieces first. joe from dover

hey there stan. i generally do state park camping. a couple of favorites are, geneva and west branch. i have been to shawnee near portsmouth. don"t know where you are at, i am 30 minutes south of canton. would be fun to see another toyota motorhome camper. who knows , our paths may cross !! joe from dover.

hey there stan . welcome from a fellow buckeye. nice looking rig. joe from dover.

HEY THERE LINDA. i applied the "PRO" wax , then two years later i did the ZEP treatment. in my opinion, the ZEP was much more work, mostly the cleaning process that ZEP requires. it has been 3 years since i applied the ZEP, and it needs it again. not sure which product i will use next time. joe from dover.

hey there, the brand name on the bottle is "PRO". you may want to google, "BAF" industries, (the manufacturer), this may direct you to where it can be purchased. good luck. joe from dover

to quote from a grateful dead song, "what a long strange trip it's been". finally found an electronic speedo cluster. i had previously purchased the cable driven version, which was the wrong one. i am having the cluster installed this week by a mechanic skilled in these things. will be happy this "trip" is done. joe from dover.

hey there, my 92 winnie has the gel coat filon sheet exterior. i found a product at an automotive paint and body supply store. the name on the label is "car beauty pro" the labeling on the quart bottle states: RV, BOAT & AIRCRAFT WAX. -- one step cleaner wax-----use on all painted, gel coat, fiberglass, chrome and aluminum surfaces---removes light scratches, oxidation, fallout, black streaks, marine and jet fuel build up, water spots, bird droppings, and more----carnauba wax and polymer sealers offer a long lasting, high gloss shine. the product is made by, BAF industries, 8010 dixie highway, florence, kentucky. i paid $17.00 for the quart bottle. INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: on one half of the bottle it is printed in english, on the other half, in french. possibly for our northern neighbors??? hope this helps. joe from dover.

CONGRATZ. nice looking rig. i noticed the rear bumper is not what is usually found on most of "our" rv's. it has a a more "stylized" look. very cool. wondering if the drain hose for the sewage tank is stored within the bumper as i believe most bumpers are designed to accommodate ? good luck with your rig. joe from dover.

the only "aluminum skin" on my warrior, was the roof. it was degraded and had many pin holes, which prompted the new roof. it is quite obvious filon was used for the "exterior skin". although the "spec sheet" as not specific as to location of the aluminum skin, i don't know of any other area it could be other than the roof area. joe from dover
-
NOTICED the spec sheets list frame construction as steel with aluminum skin. i was told by the rv shop that replaced my roof in 2016 and replaced my cabover 3 months ago that my 92 warrior had metal framework. the spec sheet appears to substantiate what i was told. joe from dover

great rebuild. not for the faint of heart. your work looks very good. i have a 92 winnie warrior. it also has the metal frame work. thanks for sharing your photos. best of luck, and many carefree miles for your future.joe from dover.

hey there. i removed graphics on my 92 warrior a couple years ago. i used the eraser wheel with great results. follow the instructions as to the max rpm or you can damage the underlying surface. i paid about $12.00 for the eraser wheel. i used two or three wheels to complete my project. i posted some before and after pics at the time. wish you well. joe from dover.
-
maybe some photos of your problem would help in offering suggestions. joe from dover
-
just to clarify for me... is the $350.00 for a set of hubcaps or for an actual set of rims ? thanks. joe from dover.

HEY THERE. i have a 1992 winnie warrior . i discovered water damage to the cabover area last summer. i took my rig to an rv repair shop for the rebuild. i know that the damage usually is extensive, as was the case with my rig. this rebuild is not impossible to do yourself, many posts here describe the process and provide help, advice and photos to guide someone with the process. i would suggest spending some time researching posts here on the forum from owners who have completed this rebuild in order to get an idea of what problems you will encounter. in my humble opinion, the most challenging aspect is replacing the outer covering. typically this material is a sheet product known as FILON. the difficulty is due to the curve of the cabover and trying to secure the filon properly. if you have some handyman skills, or know someone who has some skills, that would help. you will save a ton of money doing it yourself. good luck. hope to see some pics of your project as you proceed. hope this helps. joe from dover.

hey there, i love the rims. i have a 92 warrior, wish i could find a set for my rig. any idea of what they would cost. are those an after market item or was that a winnebago supplied option from the factory ???. tia. joe from dover.

hey there, simply google........RV ROOF VENT......you will find many suppliers to choose from. E trailer is one. hope this helps. joe from dover

hi derek. i am not smart enough to "share a link" the way you probably would, but i can tell you how i got there ! i googled T-100 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, when the line popped up T-100 CLUSTER REMOVAL, i clicked on that. then the YotaTech forun block (?) came up and i scrolled down to i think the last line which read, "sr5 gauge cluster swap. how to with pics. 04-08-2009." when i clicked on that it brought me to the toyotatech page with that topic. topic title on the yotatech page was "toyota 4 runner 1984-1995 how to swap gauge cluster. date of topic 02-09-2016 10:13am. don't know if this helps, hope it does because the yotatech thread was really helpful for someone that has no knowledge of this stuff, that someone being me. lol. joe from dover.

hey there, i am also replacing my original. 3-t air bags with the air lift 5000. i want to price the "wireless one"" option. are these at all napa stores ??? thanks. joe from dover.
-
i found a yotatech thread that covered all my questions and provided an in depth (with lots of photos) step by step swap procedure. thanks for all your help everyone. i have the electronic driven cluster on order. who knows maybe will get swapped soon. LOL. and i do have a very nice cable driven cluster for sale!!. thanks again to all. joe from dover.

hi linda, thanks for the reply. i will contact the link provided thanks very much. joe from dover

ednelson100, thanks for the reply. you have just answered one of the major questions i had. i can now assume buying a cluster that came from a 3.4v6 will work just fine. thank you so much. and the 4wd vs. 2wd issue is probably not relevant. i am trying to ask questions to cover any possible conflict, before purchasing another cluster only to find for some reason IT will not work. been there, done that LOL. thanks again. much appreciated. i would really like to accomplish this project this year, before camping season is here. joe from dover
Any of y'all ever redone the celling?
