Twenjen70 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hello all! I just bought a 1983 dolphin motorhome. Everything is in working order but my problem is I don't know how to work anything. I'm looking for an owners manual...anyone know where to buy one? borrow one? anything? I've never had an rv or even went camping so I have no idea how to use everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Maineah Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I don't know where you can get a manual but welcome, feel free to ask questions there is no such a thing as a dumb question we have all been there once. The Toyotas are a little different but all motor homes work pretty much the same there are a lot of good articles on line explaining plumbing, heaters, and the likes.

peregrination Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Anyone had any luck locating an owner's manual for a 1983 Dolphin yet? I've scoured the internet, but haven't come up with anything yet. If I can get ahold of one, I will be sure to digitize it and get it out there.

linda s Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Here's a Dolphin owners manual. Doesn't say what year but by the size of the tires recommended it must be for an older Dolphin similar to yours. http://www.toyotamotorhomes.com/manuals/manual.pdf Linda S Covers all Dolphins. Not just the little ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace57 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The manual that Linda S posted is the same one my 84 Dolphin came with. I have a rear dinette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It appears to have been published in September, 1983. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norma Brown Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 TY very much, the door one is gone although a metal one is good above driver wall. GVWR is what I'm looking for !? Thanks again for responding, if I could drive to local scale I would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Don't know if this will come up for you if you don't belong to this separate group but if it does print it out and take it to DMV with you. An 82 brochure but no 83's are available and they are the same truck body style. Last page shows the GVWR and if DMV has a problem politely remind them that it would have been illegal to build an RV and sell hundreds of them America if it weighed more than the GVWR. Surely a huge company like National RV, make of the Dolphins, didn't break the law.

Derek up North Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 That brochure was actually published 3-83. Good enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
