How long do the hoses need to be?

Can you recommend one?

What kind of adapter? There seems to be a few options with different amp exchanges......advice...recommendation....brand....? Thanks!

I hear ya!

Sounds like a plan - thanks!

Ah....OK, that makes sense. It is on the list - thanks!

Yeah, I'm with you hunkaman, the 10 x 10 is a good idea, and I have a decent one from camping days....fully intend to use it. I'll look at leveling blocks too. I will likely use a stainless steel french press for coffee - after having gone through half a dozen glass ones, I finally dropped for a stainless steel one and it is great! Thanks for your input.

Thanks. I'm compiling a list......

Thanks KGordon - I will look into each of these, and take very seriously your suggestion for a sense of humor........:)

Thanks. Never heard of it, but will investigate, thanks!

Yup. Got that covered. Figured that would go without sayin'. But appreciate you lookin' out.

Thank you.

Cheers Derek. I'll sort out the hoses for sure. Not 100% on what cable to get yet, what do you think about a surge protector?

Hi All I have just purchased my first RV - a 1991 Toyota Dolphin! I have been searching the internet for 'essential accessories' for my RV.....I don't know what I should get to support good times. I am keen to purchase 'essential accessories'. Some of what was suggested as 'must haves' I don't perceive to be, such as 'portable meat smoker'.......(tho for some I'm sure it is.....) Anyway, for a newbie, anything I really must have!? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yeah, I know it was on the 'recall' list. What I had hoped to find out is whether or not it had actually been done. Some people are indicating it is possible to find this out. So far I have not been able to find that out. I'm trusting that it has been done at this point, and bought it knowing it might not have been done anyway....:)

Yeah, I'll for sure do that. I was kind of miffed when they fobbed me off like that.....just didn't want to deal so closed me down basically. Not cool. Now that I have some validation by you guys, I will pursue it again. I don't even know what the SPA and SCC stand for I'm afraid......my VIN is: JTVN94T7M00022509

Hi Linda S Thanks for taking the time to write. I don't understand the document that you sent. Sorry. As I said, when I entered the VIn Toyota site did not recognize it, and then I called and they said that they no longer have that information as they 'sold' it to someone else. The VIN is: JT5VN94T7M00022509

Hi Stayingretired - thanks for your input. I did try and get confirmation from Toyota using the VIN, but they declined saying that had no records now as they 'sold' it onto someone else and would not tell me who....right!?......so as far as I know, there is no way of knowing or finding out. (If you know different, for sure let me know. However, I trust the dude had it done as he appears to have cared for it very well indeed...and why wouldn't he!? It is an automatic and so I will take your advice and Flush transmission....anything else I should have done while it is at the garage....? I'll also look at the lights and all the seals. No leaks reported or seen, so unbelievable really, but true it seems. I'll be looking out for that though as it is super common on all RVs so I hear. Many thanks to all the folks here for advising me on this - I appreciate it!

Yeah, I concur....I'm thinking a max of 4K a year....but no idea right now really. Just planning on exploring MI!! Can't wait!!

Thanks for the advice Linda. The tires are new. It looks and sounds like the guy who sold it really cared for it. He was the only owner.

Thanks! The one I have has close to 30K miles, so got a little while yet!

Thanks Linda - I am aware of the head gasket 'recall'. The guy reports having had that done back in the day. Assuming he did, which I am, do 'valve adjustments' need doing anyway? Thanks.

Thanks Derek!! This looks just the ticket. Have a great day!

Hi there! I'm interested in finding out more about the vehicle I have - Dolphin 1991 V6, and things to watch out for in general and maintenance to do. Is there a book that someone can recommend, or a place to find good info? Thanks! BBC3
