Hello everyone, man it took me a long time to figure out how this forum works...I hope I have it now. I recently picked up an awesome little RV, 1978 Toyota Mini Mirage, and I need ANY help I can get in figuring out how to do some things. Mechanically things are really good on it, and I believe I am the 2nd or 3rd owner. I would love some tips from any of you. None of my RV systems came with manuals... 1: I would like to learn how to do the following: Drain the water tanks and systems for the winter - best order of how to get the majority of water out of the RV. 2: How to operate the furnace or heater I believe it is a Suburban Traveler 2BH? (propane) - Lighting instructions etc. 3: Electrical outlets and which ones work while on battery power & which ones on land power? I know I can figure this out from process of elimination, but any tips would be appreciated to best make things work or upgrades that result in better operation. 4: Refrigerator operation, I am pretty sure this is a gas/electric and I am not aware how it works. 5: Hooking up sewage / etc. I am pretty sure this is pretty self explanatory, but any tips or modifications to the shower/toilet combo would be appreciated. Extra Credit: I would really like to explore the option of including/integrating an additional battery source and charging system (including solar) if anyone has done a conversion or upgrade please let me know how it works and how you did it. I have also been kicking around the idea of upgrading to a Weber Carb, any insight on this would be appreciated, this truck has had some recent carb issues and has been repaired, but it was recommended that the upgrade would be a positive one. My RV has just under 100K, all original from what I can tell and I can't wait to take it on some adventures this spring/summer. Thanks for any insight or tips you are willing to share.
