All side windows use butyl tape only.

It's easy to tell. If it's the right one both tubes that attach to brake lines are horizontal out on the drivers side. I think I goofed though. I think rock auto sent me the wrong one. Mine had sensor wires to the reservoir and the one I got didn't. Could have used old reservoir but it was old. I got this because I like Beck Arnley but not quite right BECK/ARNLEY 0728522 {#4720135430, MC39518, P9483} New Info RWD; Heavy Duty Chassis, Model # Ending In 3W This is the Toyota part number Toyota Part No.: 47201-35430 This is what I ended up buying https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-M39518-Brake-Master-Cylinder/dp/B004BRKMZG Linda S

No, no replacement for the wheel and door trim seal. Show me the shower door seal. I'd like to see it. For all those lovers of lap seal. I just found out this morning that on my trip yesterday my roof vent fell off. Now I have to get a new one once again. That makes 3 times in 14 years. If I had lap seal all over those screws it would be a nightmare. I do not. All I have to do is unscrew it and put in a new one. None have ever leaked with only butyl. They just don't last that long Linda S What's left of the seal at the gas filler tube is still flexible so I'm guessing it's butyl too

Surprise fix for Norcold on propane

40 bucks? darn out here in California they charge 40 bucks to say hello. Great that you found someone with the knowledge to fix it. Linda S -
Bilstein does make a 5100 heavier duty shock for 4x4's but it's for raised vehicles only. Your stuck with the regular 4600"s. Here are your shocks. This place is consistently cheaper than other online places and a first rate company. Ignore the stupid picture It's for the whole shock not just bushings. http://www.raceconsultingagency.com/bilstein/bilstein-truck-off-road-b6-4600-series-shocks/24011402/i-1738094.aspx http://www.raceconsultingagency.com/bilstein/bilstein-truck-off-road-b6-4600-series-shocks/24011396/i-1736446.aspx If you don't have them now air suspension bags can make a huge difference in ride and control. You had them in your Escaper right? Linda S

Not rocket science. I would do it myself. Lots of step by step instructions online and you can buy everything you need for it from Amazon or other online RV parts places. Amazon is probably cheaper Linda S

No. There's a thread here with lots more info on the tandem axle with pics but can't find it. Linda S

All manuals for a 86 Toyota Dolphin
linda s replied to 86Dolphino's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues
Depends on how bad the rot is. Completely falling apart a flatbed might be an option but you've got a V6 Toyota motorhome and it will be worth far more as a motorhome. Also you remove the coach and you've got a truck with no roof. Even with quite a bit of damage to the motorhome section it will probably cost the same to repair as it will to build a bed and enclose the truck section. Linda S also rural northern Cal -
Dually axles with 5 lugs were the problem. No recalls on tag axles nor have I ever heard of anyone having a problem with them. The biggest drawback I know of is it will cost you more going over toll bridges. There are so few of them we don't discuss them often. I am betting they stopped making them because it was cheaper to slap the fake dually wheels on to the existing axle to carry the weight. Guess that didn't work out so well did it. Linda S

Too much to fix. All wiring gone. No power center or lights. No toilet and falling apart. The ceiling needs to be completely re-shimmed for support. The stuff they took out adds to the strength of the fiberglass but now it's gone. After you've spent several thousand dollars getting it usable you still have to deal with the mechanics of the engine and drive train. Better to pay more for one in good shape Linda S

Just wondered how much indoor storage space would cost in Mi and found this. There must be other places in this ball park. 40 bucks a month sounds cheap to me https://annarbor.craigslist.org/prk/d/indoor-outdoor-recreational/6657183015.html Linda S

If you can find it inside storage. Anyone with a barn near? The freezing and melting of water is one of the worst things on a motorhome or anything for that matter. Just take a look at your roads. If not buy the best cover you can afford. No ones made for Toyota motorhomes anymore but I have heard of people using ones for sprinter vans. They are just a little long. Also helps to put a couple of recycle bins on top front and back with a board between them to slope the roof. Helps prevent snow collection. Brush it down after heavy snow fall. Outdoor broom works great to pull it down. Covers can be quite expensive. Option is to buy the heaviest weight tarp and bungy it down underneath the camper. Do all the other things I mentioned with that too Linda S

I know. Odyssey 4x4 bought it. He has been a member here a long time and just changed his name to match his new rig. He will be starting a thread to let us all get to know how cool it is. Very talented guy at upgrades so it will just keep getting better. Linda S
