  1. While you were doing all your updates did you happen to come across two small items (valves I think) sticking out of the floor just to the right of the fuse panel and under the sofa? I just bought this 86 Dolphin and I have no idea what these things are.
  2. How did you remove the sofa? I see some bolts underneath the sofa but they look hard to get to.
  3. I just bought a 1986 Dolphin in really great shape. Looks almost new inside and out. I am doing a few minor things to it. I found two small plastic valves/plugs on the floor just to the right of the fuse panel that stick up through the carpet. Do you have any idea what they are for? For some reason I have very low water pressure unless I use the water pump along with the water hose hooked up to city water. I am trying to figure that out too.
  4. Over the years I have had several RVs here in South Texas. Hot and humid is the weather forecast most all the time. RV fridges have a hard time cooling well under these conditions. One solution I have used in years past is to place a small fan near the bottom of the coils at the back of the fridge and face the fan blowing up. This forces air up through the coils and out the top. Hot air rising and going out the top is what is supposed to happen in the first place but the fan just helps it to happen better. I just got an 1986 Dolphin and that is one of my projects to do. This fridge does not have DC in the back so I will have to find an AC fan.
  5. I am still trying to figure out all the stuff in this 1986 Dolphin. Under the sofa ( the kind that has the back rest that just folds over and down to make a bed) and just to the right of the electrical fuse box are two grey plastic devices. The are on the floor and sticking up through the carpeting. The look like a "T". Does anyone have any idea what they do? I tried to upload a picture from a camera and from an I-Phone but I got an -200 error, whatever that is. Thanks for the input.
  6. Thanks for the ideas. I actually found it on the roof back by the luggage rack. Sometime in the past it had been cut off. Fortunately they left the original fitting so all I have to do is get a short coax 10 or 12 feet and an outside antenna.
  7. I just purchased a 1986 Dolphin that has had the overhead AC removed sometime in the past. It has a small 110 AC in the window over the divan. The ac plug is currently plugged in on the back bathroom wall. I would like to put in a 110 outlet under the divan but can't figure out how to get the divan up out of the way. It is the style that is super easy to make into a bed. The back portion that sits against the wall just folds down over the bottom portion and makes the bottom portion extend out toward the table. Here is the problem. I can't figure out how to get the divan up out of the way to put in the electric plug. Any suggestions?
  8. Just purchased a 1986 Dolphin that is in super condition. The inside connector for the tv is just above the refrigerator but I can't find any outside antenna connection. I think that in years past it may have had a roof antenna. It does not have any TV input near the outside electric and water connections. Where should I look?
