  1. Does anyone have any experience with the Accelera brand of tires? They're made in Indonesia but look to have a very similar tread pattern to the Yokohama 356. These are all season with a S speed rating. https://www.prioritytire.com/accelera-ultra-3-185r14-102-100s-d-8-ply-as-a-s-all-season-tire/ https://acceleratire.com/tires/ultra-3/ It seems as If I should have purchased tires a year or so ago as the price has jacked up on what's available in the 185r14 sizes. Also @jimiflow how are the Petlas holding up ? Are you putting any real mileage on them. I would love to hear how they're working out for you along with anyone else's experience as of recent with less known tire brands on our setups.
  2. Its been a while since I've been on here, but I'm currently stumped and could use a hand. I have been remodeling my Sunland-Express's interior for what feels like forever now and am getting around to putting the Water pump Tank monitor/sensor electric all back together. My monitor says Jenson on it but its the original gold one that I think was used on a few different models around the same time period (late 80's). When I originally disconnected it it had one Black wire, and two white wires coming from the sensor panel (see attached pics). There's one black and one white wire coming from the Pump switch and one white wire coming from the connection that hold all of the sensor wires to the panel. I assumed that means Black to Black/white (Positive) and white wires to the white wires (negative). Whenever I use the sensor wired this way everything works fine but the PUMP switch. When I engage or turn on the Pump switch a clicking noise starts happening from the inverter battery area (not from H2O pump) and the wires start to get hot. It all worked fine before and I just want to make sure I'm actually wiring the switch and pump correctly but cant find any useful info on this through the web ? I also have upgraded my original invertor convertor and haven't had any other electrical issues to date. I have the sensor panel wired and running by itself with a 15A fuse. Below are pictures of what it looked like before I unhooked everything a few years ago but you can see the area where the 12v wires connect is kind of cut off. If anyone has any experience or useful info with this I'd appreciate the help greatly !
  3. So, I wasn't expecting to get so much feedback two months later on this post ? I did measure my Sunland Express and it's actually 20ft not 18ft. I guess I just eyeballed it at 18 ? It still a pretty small rig. I previously looked at a 1979 17ft Sunrader before finding this one. It also had the same rear dinette setup but instead of taking 2 1/2 steps to get to the back it took 1 1/2 if that. I would have loved to pick it up the Sunrader (and still want one) but it needed a complete internal overhaul. I also decided against it since they were asking so much for it in its current state. Its still actually for sale months later on craigslist. https://louisville.craigslist.org/rvs/d/toyota-sunrader/6206048694.html It actually ran pretty good and is a manual tranny which was a plus. Well, if anything it's good to know they did make a 18ft version of this setup. I do wish there was more info on the Sunland Express models in general. If anyone has any more links to hidden away info etc feel free to let me know. And thanks to those that actually replied back with info about wiring. I have yet to put a Propane detector in, but it's on my list of things to do. I was able to register my vehicle as Toyota pickup through the DMV because it was built on that platform so no fire marshal inspection was needed on my end. Below is a couple pics of what my 20ft Sunland express looks like
  4. Thanks Maineah. That totally makes sense to me. What I have to go through to get this RV registered in my name in Ky doesn't but that totally does. I'll look the fuse panel over and go from there. I was also thinking of wiring it into the entry light switch so when not in use I can cut it off but we will see.
  5. I'm new here. I just picked up a 1986 18ft Toyota Sunland Express. In the state of Ky I have to have it inspected by a fire marshal. I have a carbon dioxide detector, fire extinguisher, and smoke detector, but I cant locate a a Propane detector on my rig. Dont know if it originally came with one? I want to hard wire one in, but I'm not quite sure where to do so ? I know the lower the better since propane lays low when a leak occurs. My rig has the Wrap around Dinette in the back with the Frig and Stove on the left while the Sink, Furnace, Fuse Box are all on the right side. Please note this is all facing the back looking at the dinette. I did find some colored cables that were to the right of the fuse box. I'm thinking this would be my best option ? I've looked online and here for info to no avail. I'm thinking that the wiring is pretty similar for most of the RV models from this time period ? If anyone has any advice on the best spot to piggy back or wire into please advise in detail if possible. I know this should be a easy fix/install but electric work is where I always get stumped. Thanks in Advance.
