This company is mention quite a few times on our website and some very good builders have used them with good results. They've done adapters for Toyota motorhomes many times so they would probably be able to give you the advice you need. Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech (motorsport-tech.com) What do you need the adapters for. Do you have a full float upgrade? Linda S

Ther are no covers being made for Toyota motorhomes anymore. Best option would be to buy a small Class C cover but it will need altering because it will be way too long. Amazon.com: Budge Class C RV Cover Fits Class C RVs up to 21' Long (Gray, Polypropylene), 256" L x 105" W x 108" H (RVRB-30) : Everything Else I use a tarp and it's way cheaper Linda S

The Odyssey in the instagram is an Americana. Very different than a Starlite. Completely different roof too. Never did find the pics I was looking for to try to help you but I know you can't straighten out the roof unless you remove it. How is the fabric on the pop top Linda S

It's not like there are a bunch of Starlites to choose from. Only a handful were ever made. I have seen a Chinook roof removed and reshaped with some fiberglassing to hold it but it was a long time ago. I will try to find those old pics. Is the one you found a V6. Floor plan? I would love to see some pictures. Linda S

You could try taking out a Craigslist ad. Post a pic and say you're looking for the motorhome you regret selling. Try Fresno and Gold Country sites. Even if they don't see it their friends or neighbors might. Linda S

This is California. There is a law forbidding DMV from giving out any current owner information to anyone but a licensed insurance agent who must supply a police report of an accident involving that vehicle. A vin only won't do you any good. Linda S

Your truck came stock with a 2 row radiator. 3 row isn't more volume just more cooling. I guarantee you that was not the problem Linda S

Do you have a storage container on the back. Battery is behind it. If no container there should be a door on the back. Linda S

Guess the recall date was 1991. National Rv Recall Campaign 91V060000 POWER TRAIN | AutoMD By this time many of the Toyota motorhome manufacturers had gone out of business so there was no one left to repair them. National RV, Dolphin, was very active in searching for owners and replacing the axles. Toyota who had done nothing wrong stepped up and sent thousands of full float axles for these repairs and offered them to owners of other brand motorhomes too. It was the end of the Toyota dually unfortunately. Linda S

Hey James who wrote the axle facts many years ago was wrong. There is no safe 5 lug dually. No problems had been reported yet so why would Toyota retool a factory to make a handful of axles. Not good business Linda S Also there were no recalls on your truck because Toyota shipped a perfectly safe single wheel truck to the US. The recalls were against the motorhome manufacturers who installed the fake duallies and didn't happen till 1992.

OK actual parts for the poster There might be a number on your damaged holding tank. See if you can find it. If not you're going to have to remove it and measure carefully and see if one of these is the right size. Plastic Holding Tanks for RV And Campers - Ronco Plastics (ronco-plastics.com) Your early Dolphin might have a strange set up with a two section combined holding tank, black and grey. You're not going to find anything similar. You have to figure out a way to install 2 tanks and outlets or your going to have all your grey and back mixed. Not the ideal setup. Siding- This is the siding place. Have to figure out the correct profile but they have been doing this a long time. They might know. Warning shipping is going to be expensive Aluminum Siding Patterns – Interstate Metal Fabricators, Inc. (interstatervmetalandsupply.com) Propane compartment. I can't find any right for an RV. It has to be a sealed box to protect the living space. You might need to have one made at a metal shop. Bumper RV Bumper 14 Gauge Steel (recpro.com) This needs cutting to size and welding on. Everything comes to a huge amount of work and a lot of money. Hope whoever hit you had insurance. You might be better off cutting your losses and looking for a new one. Sorry I couldn't give you better news Linda S

Can only find a wack job in southern Cal who thinks a wrecked whole 5 lug Dolphin is worth 25,000 dollars. Don't think that's the guy you're talking about. Linda S

Link for ebay guy? I can't find it Linda S

You should make it clear it was totaled because of the cost to repair the house section. Only vehicle repairs were a brake job Linda S

I think you can get the inspection where you are. Check with Ct DMV and ask if they would accept docs from an approved inspector in New Mexico. People have accidents all the time when out of state and shipping their vehicles home can't be the only option. If Ct won't take an out of state inspection your insurance company should be willing to offer you a temporary binder to get it home. If not there are a few online companies that I think would. Linda S

I have another friend on this site who started looking for an RV 5 years ago. Trouble was he was only interested in a certain type and even when they came on the market they were sold before he could get there. In the mean time prices have gone through the roof and Toyota motorhome have gotten scarcer and he still has nothing. I found the old ad for your 88 that was for sale in Bakersfield. Yes, it is beautiful. Is it more beautiful than the V6 model I found in your home town? Absolutely not and your old 4 banger sold for 6 thousand dollars more than the price on the newer one. You should know that the V6 models have an upgraded chassis and ride much smoother than the 4 cylinder ones. At our age waiting for things is not such a good idea. You have to live life now. Linda S

Unfortunately no. The gas absorption refrigerators are the most efficient ones for RV's. There are some ac/dc fridges that don't use a lot of power but on 12 volt you're going to need some added solar or a small generator to avoid draining your battery's. Replacing your existing one is expensive. Not a lot available in the size we need. How far are you from this RV refrigerator - appliances - by owner - sale (craigslist.org) Looks like the right size. These things plug in too so always tell them to plug it in the day before you get there. They take a long time to cool. Not like a compressor fridge and they don't make noise like a compressor fridge. Linda S

Just checked and those snap rings are available online from a number of places pretty cheap. Not a disaster if one gets damaged pressing off the bearings. At less than 5 bucks a pop I'd get new ones anyway Snap Ring- Toyota OEM Rear Axle Snap Ring (1979-2006) 90520-36045 (yotashop.com) Linda S

No it also has a small transmission cooler in the front of the radiator, about 6x9. Stock from factory, No longer available so I can't get the part number but here it is. Number 3 on this diagram

You should know you already have one. They were standard on the V6 heavy duty trucks Linda S

Switch to larger single wheels and tires like this and your wheel bearings will no longer be an issue Thunderer Ranger R402 215/70R15 109/107R D (8 Ply) AS A/S All Season Tire (prioritytire.com) Linda S

There is silicone wrap tape that is safe for fuel lines. At least fix it for now. Versachem Wrap It Self Fusing Silicone Tape 10 ft. - Ace Hardware You need to remove the hose from the filler tube to wrap it around tightly, then reinstall. Lasts a really long time. I have a similar product sealing the water lines to my water heater in my Sunrader. Never did replace the hoses. It's been there 10 years and no leaks yet. Linda S

Yes no special part needed. Just buy the length and diameter you need at an auto parts store Linda S

Well table I can help with. Table needs to drop down to make rear bed so measure the little ledge at the edge of the dinette and size the table to fit and hold in place. Table hardware. Same size post as mine. I have seats only on each side not in the back so my table is bigger and I have 2 posts I think yours might only require one. This is a very cheap price for the set. Most charge more for each individual piece. RV pedestal 29 ½" TABLE LEG + 2 ABS surface mount base SILVER powder coat pole | eBay Nice piece of A grade plywood sanded and finished would work fine for the table. 3/4 inch, remember you need to put screws in it Linda S Didn't see the shipping price. It's still cheaper than buying separately just not super cheap

Sht. This a huge amount of work. 1) have you driven it any distance since the new tires. Does it drive smoothly or shake. There must be a reason it is uneven. You need a mechanic to look at it. Surprised the tire installers didn't mention it. 2) You know about that couple in Florida who redid their Sunrader. Look at how they did their ceiling. A lot of work though. 3) No propane how are you supposed to run your fridge. Is your propane tank still there. Are the hard lines that run to your fridge and where the old water heater still there. Makes me worry he pulled it all out. Is your furnace gone too. 4) The original table went into a hole in the floor. He covered that all up so putting it back means removing some of that flooring to find the hole. You will need to find new hardware to install the table. I don't have a wrap around dinette so I can't measure table size for you. Linda S
