I'm having trouble with your link above. I'll sort it out on a computer later. I filled my tank and this regulator(I think it's a regulator) is leaking from the gash in it.
-
Anyone ever repair cracked or hole' shrouds?
-
I don't know for sure if leaks or replacement. I'd like to test. If I fill tank then switch fridge to lpg, is there indicators letting you know it's working? I didn't know if my fridge was working till 12 hours later of having it plugged in.

Not Tacoma. Tacoma's started in 1995. I think yours is like most of ours, Toyota pickup. Your registration should say model name.
-
Congrats!. Do you got more pics to post? I've had good luck with finding Toyota parts related to the pickup model that it is. Meaning, I did not have to do any special/custom ordering. I've only worked on the fuel lines, tank, pump, filters, plugs and keys. I've not had to work on the rear-end. I did pickup some airlift air bags that are different than what Toyota and Dolphin produced.

Yeah if it works don't mess with it. I replaced the propane regulator on mine last year it too was 30+ years old and and an old single stage regulator I don't know around $30. Don't give up on the solar that is a big + I run two group 24 batteries and a simple homemade frame portable 100 watt panel I can turn and elevate it it stores flat on the bed in transit I so far have been able to run all my 12 volt stuff indefinitely. If you have any thing that looks like a clear light bulb throw it away and replace with LED's
I tested the fridge with electricity and it WORKS!!! Whats my next step to testing the LPG? Fill the tank or replace lines/gauges/valves, then fill tank?

I'm interested and i'm in Orange County Huntington Beach area. Whats the condition of the sofa? can you post pics?

I don't think these homes are safe from side or rear impaxt. My 87 Dolphin Walls are made of mostly thin, cheap material. I do plan on putting in better seatbelts in the camper area.

My TMH had bad bulbs in all the lights, so instead of replacing them, I picked up some $14 Amazon ones and made a black plastic, mount then sanded and painted the bracket. I need to find nice flush screws and seal them, but they'll work for now.

The birch plywood underlay and using a premium thick vinyl flooring (remnant) made it quieter.
WME,
Could you post some pics? I'm looking to do vynl as well, but not sure if I'll do the underlayment.
Cynxing,
Heres some shots of my 87 Dolphin. I've pulled most carpet. I've pulled one bench/bed and will run vynl under it. I'll pull the second bench as well, since its much easier for me to get the carpet out. I won't/haven't removed cabinets with fridge, stove/sink areas. I've been cutting along the edge in those spots and its a BISCUIT.

These old bags look offset to outside of frame. Is that optical illusion? Will the airlift 5000 be directly under the frame?
-
Thanks so much. You just saved me time.

last weekends work

Jonathon and Kamala,
I've been working my way through restoring overhead as well. I habent run into any 2x4's only 1x2 and 1/2- 3/4". But ive yet to peek into roof section. I dont see or feel sag, flex or damage up there. Hope that shite dosent come back to get me.
If I was in/near you coast I'd be glad work/learn and drink brews with yuh.
Hope to see pics of your processs. Cheers! 🍻

How do I determine if i have, "old T-9 system"?
-
Did you guys run mini on-board compressors or the stock side-wall conncetion?
I'm about to install these and was wondering if others just use the stock setup?
-
I'll start replace the lines and regulator and give it a GO. I'll do solar, for sure. I'm anxious to run solar,But wait till I've spent shit-ton on so many things needed:
LPG, linoleum floor, reupholster couches and bed, weather seal the roof, resealing windows, install air bags & shocks, swap lap belts for seatbelts with 3-4points in RV area, change clear-light bulbs to LED, seal shower, put in bluetooth stereo, strip the wall-sticker and paint walls.

Keep the propane fridge it is more efficient. A dorm fridge will use 100-250 watts per hour there is around 1/2 a million btu's in a 20 pound tank 1 btu=.3 watts you can see where this is leading. Dorm fridges are much more efficient stand alone not inside of a cabinet so where to put it? I'll put it this way if mine quit tomorrow I would spend the bucks to repair or replace it before I would put in a dorm fridge. The one in my present camper is 29 years old so $27 a year and counting (ever year it gets a little cheaper) think a dorm fridge will last 10 years? Doubtful.
I'll keep it. Sounds like I'm way off on its efficiency/longevity cost.

Just curious, is your existing Dometic fridge broken or still working correctly? I was wondering why you want to do the fridge swap.
To be clear, I've not figured out how to test the fridge. I've been working on restoring RV. The only test I did was plug 30ad into my home and run the A/C. I haven't researched how to turn fridge on and what the indicators are. I opened it and looked inside. It shows/says, that is auto-switching.
My thought was it probably does not work, it probably is not as efficient on electricity and it might need all kinds of LPG updates-lines, connectors, gauges, valves, pressure check etc. etc.

I've been debating the same thing with my 87 Dolphin. I just restored the side walls and now im about to do the overhead bed.
Are my leaf springs blown?
