    What would it take for an older Toyota motorhome to make it down to Patagonia?

    Posted · Edited by pdeng

    To start, I just want to say how much fun it's been joining this forum as a new member. I've already made some friends, starting to learn a lot, and it just feels right to be here. Great community.

     

    Anyway, I have a dream of making a long road trip with my girlfriend and our two dogs down through Central and South America and I'm wondering what kind of Toyota motorhome would be ideal for the trip. Maybe folks think it's the wrong vehicle all together. If so, please share why! If not, what kind of engine and modifications would make sense for such a journey?

     

    Thanks very much for helping me to think about this potential adventure in the right way!

     

    Cheers,

    Philip

    Not much info in the ad, but decent pictures. Here's what the guy has told me and I've responded to ask for the pics:

    Yes, it has a 22re engine. The previous owner took great care of it. I bought it last year with plans of using it but my plans have changed.
     
    The tires are not worn just a little weathered. Would need new tires in the future. And there was a small leak near the back door but I caught it in time and put a tarp over it. I have the necessary tools to patch it up just havent have the time. I can send u pics of the tires and the spot where a little water came in. But structurally the camper is great. 
     
    Inside the camper everything works as it should. Comes with inverter, converter, deep cycle battery, water pump, cold AC, refrigerator, flat screen with surround sound, and microwave. No rust anywhere. 
     
    The generator was working last year but wasnt able to get it running recently.
     
    I can send u pics of the tires and the small water spot if u want??

     

     

    Seems like some room for negotiating the price even before heading out to look at it based on the water damage aspect.

    Hey all, 

     

    This is already turning out to be a really fun community to be a part of. I'm excited to learn all the ins and outs of owning a Toyota motorhome someday. After talking it over, I don't think I can make all the necessary arrangements to check out this Conquest, so I'm going to let it go for now. My dream vehicle was always the Sunrader, but this episode has inspired me to learn more about other potential models that might make a good rig for me. I'll apply all your tips and keep reading the forum as I search for something closer to me, and hopefully I'll be able to find someone to go with me to look. I just moved to the Richmond area from Seattle as things were locking down, so none of my friends are close, and I haven't really been able to make new friends yet. Such a great time for a project though...

     

    Cheers!

    Hi all,

     

    I'm a newbie trying to find my way to my first Toyota motorhome. I live in Richmond, VA, a six-hour drive from this https://youngstown.craigslist.org/rvs/d/elkton-1986-toyato-conquest-rv/7146793815.html 1986 Conquest, 68,000 miles, images look good, for $6,500. The owners says no rust and some leaks were "fixed well" by the owner prior to him. I have the time to make the drive and look, but from all of your more knowledgable perspectives, what would you want or want to know before traveling six hours to look at the vehicle?

     

    Thanks!

    Philip
