sweet. Ordered it on Amazon.

Thank you all so much. I will go to Napa today and check if they have a replacement. I took out the connector with the broken pin and it look like below. Is this something I can replace 1:1? Looks old lol.

Just posted another topic about the blower motor but wanted to ask this in a separate post as well. To uninstall the motor, I had to disconnect another cable as it was in the way, when disconnecting, I saw that one pin was broken. The connector is right behind the blower motor. Trying to figure out what I did, what I should do and of its something I can do myself. Thank you all.

My fan in the coach has stopped working so I decided to take a look at it. First of all, I saw that the fuse blew so I replaced it with another 20 amp one but it still did not work. Next, I disconnected the fan motor from the power source and check if there is any power coming to the connection. I found out, that electricity is coming to to the connection so that should be OK. Next I un-installed the Fan because I thought maybe something is blocking it. The fan looks clean. I want to find out if the fan is broken but I'm not really sure how to test for that. I used a multimeter and read for resistance. See the picture in the result below. I feel quite stupid because I don't know what any of this means but I hope you all can help me fix the issue. When I try running the Fan disassembled, it still doesn't work. Thanks for your help in advance. Nico

Sweet. Thank you very much Linda. I just ordered two of the white steel ones. Luckily the arms didn't take any damage.

Hi all, Unfortunately someone ran into my side mirror and broke it. I was trying to find a replacement online but nothing I found for an 1987 Toyota truck looked like the one that broke. Ideally, I would be happy to replace it with a larger mirror, but I can't even find anything. Anyone any idea where to look? Thanks, Nico

Thank you. I read that somewhere else? Where is the starter located? I want to get better knowledge about the motor of the truck and all the pieces because I would like to improve these things. Not sure where to start though

Thank you. After looking at some videos, I suspected this to be the case as well. I had my wife try it so I can see where the sound is coming from and for whatever reason, she was able to turn it on and got it running. Some videos suggest that it is the starter contacts. I might switch them out but for now will see how it goes.

Planning to leave for a camping today after the rig has been sitting winterized for a couple of months. I wanted to check if everything is working ok and when I tried to start the car, I only hear a clicking sound, nothing else (see video). I jumped the battery but this is not the problem. The lights turn on nice and bright. I tried to start it in park as well as in neutral since someone else in the forum said that this solved their issue. Any idea what that could be? It sounds like the sound is coming from an area under the passenger dash. Thanks, Nico starter.mp4

Thanks for the advice. This issue somehow solved itself. I turned on the heater and realized while the fan was running, it was still drawing the same amps. Once I turned off the heat, the amps draw disappeared and my battery was actually charging. Weird but I'm happy. Having another issue now but I will post that in a separate post.

Just realized the Fan above the shower is not working anymore. We had 11 inches of snow last weekend that just have melted. Is it possible, that that has something to do with it?

I'm planning to go camping tomorrow. We had a major snow storm last weekend and everything is melted now so I just checked out my sunrader if it's good to go. While checking the battery panel, I realized that there are currently - 2.5 amps being drawn, even though it's night and all electrical is turned off. The battery is at 94 percent so I'm not too worried about it but I would like to understand how I can figure out what is causing this and hopefully fix it. Thanks everyone. Nico

Bought These wipers and they work. Needed to tweek a little bit the lock system since it seemed to be pretty loose but beside that no issue even though Amazon said they are not compatible

Who else but Linda :). Thank you for your help. I ordered a pair that should arrive tomorrow. I'll probably install it this weekend. Fingers crossed

Hi all, My wiper blades are completely dead and I need to replace them. With my previous car, I installed the beam type wiper blades and they lasted forever and worked so much better than conventional ones. I was wondering if there are any compatible beam type wiper blades and what you guys recommend. Thanks Koncon

Thank you Linda and WME. I will go down the uhaul route since I don't have the space at home to store the trailer in case I buy one. It will just be a hazzle. Will check with uhaul if they would rent me the 5x9 trailer. If so I'll do that. If not I'll come back with a different car in a week. Thanks again for all your help. FYI they don't have the motorcycle trailer here at the moment so unfortunately that's not an option.

Hi everyone. I just bought a used motorcycle and I'm debating different options to get it from Bend, Oregon to Portland. I'm currently in Bend with my 21ft 1987 sunrader that has a hitch installed on the back. I'm wondering if it would work to rent a 8x4 uhaul trailer, put the bike in and tow it back to Portland. There are different routes I could take. Either over the mountain range or all the way up to the Columbia River and along the gorge. The second one would have less of a climb and downhill but either way, there will be hills. The alternative is to come back next week with the other car and pick up the bike. Any thoughts on getting the smallest possible trailer and towing it back to Portland with the sunrader? Thanks a lot. Nico

Haha OK. I'll drive it around the block soon to be able to describe it a little better. I'll open another threat once I have more info.

I ended up hand sanding a few spots, then cleaning again with BKF and then I put 5 thin coats of the ZEP. Looks real nice and shiny. Still can see the difference in color a little bit but I'm quite happy. Eventually this thing probably needs a new paint job but I feel like I just bought myself a year or two time to do that. Thanks again for all the input. It was a lot of work but worth the effort. Now ready for the season. I guess beside the weird noises the car makes so I have to bring it to a shop to check.... Haha always something to do

Thanks Linda. I'll grab a hand sand block and some 500 grit sand paper tonight and hopefully i find some time tomorrow to work on it and then put on the Zep on Saturday. A lot of folks say the nice shine does not really show until the 4th layer so I still might do the overkill to get the nice look

Unfortunately it looks like the jitterbug sanders need A LOT of air and I won't have a compressor to keep up with that. Any other ideas?

Looks like the ZEP stripper didn't do much. I probably will get a cheap jitterbug sander from harbor freight for 30 bucks and do the one side where I have the issues. Then rinse with BKF (only have the one in the bottle premixed after I used all of the powder cleaning the entire rig last weekend) and then apply 5 coats of ZEP this weekend. Anything speaking against this process? Thanks, Nico

Thanks, I'll try that this week and then will try to go for 5 layers of zep this weekend.

It might not look like this in the pictures but I'm pretty sure the shinier patches are something on the gel coat so my best guess currently is, that it is in fact remainder of the last ZEP coat. I will take a look tonight. If it ends up being something on the gel coat, I probably just buy the zep stripper and clean the side again that shows this issue.

Oh another question. Where would I get replacements for these bumper clips?
