My spare is mounted underneath. I don't know if Winnebago took up that area with something else but you could check. I know others here have made a tire hanger for that space but you could probably get one at a junk yard. Linda S

The Hankook RA08 and the Nexen SV820 are both tires from Korea and seem to be very popular. They can both be ordered at Walmart and you pick them up at the store within a week. Sometimes they are in stock. Some Walmarts will mount tires on a motorhome and some won't. You have to call around and find one that will. If you buy tires from Walmart their installation is pretty cheap. Like 12 bucks a tire http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hankook-Radial-RA08-Tire-185R14-8/17792669 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nexen-SV820-185R14-8-100P-BW/33860070 Linda S

They do make caps that just slide into the pipe. No base needed http://www.rvplus.com/camco-plumbing-vent-cap-only-pw-40034.html?utm_source=shopzilla&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=rv_shopzilla Linda S

That dash is pretty cracked up and these products aren't cheap but this looks like a possibility. Good pics of repairing too Linda S http://www.urethanesupply.com/Repair-Cracked-Dashboard/

No room for such extras in an 18ft Sunrader. Only place to put one in mine would be bungeed to my ladder. LOL .Telescopic ladder when your alone and on uneven ground could be a major disaster. My ladder in the back also holds my chairs for camping. Linda S

Well I use my ladder a lot. Replacing vents and washing the roof. The plumbing vents and crank open vents don't really last that long. At home you can just use a household ladder but I have had a plumbing vent cap knocked off on the road and it poured that night. Rain coming down on my face. If I didn't have that ladder on the back I wouldn't have been able to get on the roof and cover the leak. If mine ever gets loose I'm going to fix it. Linda S

Wikipedia lists the 20R up to 1980 and the 22R from 1980 on. Your 79 chassis would definitely have the 20R. The Dolphins were the most popular brand and made the longest of any of the Toy homes. I would imagine many thousands were made. Don't think production numbers are available though Linda S

It's a standard Toyota truck gas cap. Any auto parts store should have one that fits. Linda S

Your brand new fridge doesn't need to be perfectly level. Just comfortable inside is enough. Always the chance you got a defective one and the problem just showed up. Get a thermometer in there so when you call Dometic or Norcold you will have something accurate to tell them. Have your receipt and model number. Linda S

Yeah I would have thought it would have to be sealed. I mean you have been using your cook top and maybe fridge on propane. Yes big hole if you try to remove it now. Wait until you get home. Maybe you could cut the frame off of the heater assembly after you remove it so you could just screw that part back and the door could stay in place. Going to be a challenge to pull the heater and rotate it so the propane line will go through the hole there. Rubber gasket comes out though so you have more room. Or find place to cap it off closer to the tank Linda S

So they removed the thermostat and igniter but left the rest of the tank in place. In the second picture at the bottom, that is your propane line to the water heater. Is that cap on the end closed or is there a hole in it. Should be closed and that means the propane has already been capped off. If it's open I don't know why you have already smelled propane when the tank was on. I would remove that cap and install a closed one if it's not already. Do not cut. Unscrew and screw a new one closed one on using yellow gas line tape. Looks like plumbers tape but yellow. Place you find the cap should have it. Look again at the door too. What are you going to cover the hole with. Door is attached to the water heater frame and if you remove it no door. Linda S Can't see if the water supply has been bypassed. You need that done to remove tank too

Well your not going to have room for jumping jacks but look at the Odyssey's. They have the highest ceiling height but still a bit shorter than you. If your using it for camping and spending a lot of time outdoors many have managed to make it work. Some of them have 2 facing sofa's in the rear that make into a queen sized bed. You need to see if the driver seat is comfortable enough though. Not a lot of room up there for long legs. Linda S

Me either. Lived in Rochester until I was 27 and I never had studded snow tires nor did my family when I was growing up. Linda S

Saw a Sunrader 4 x 4 parked at an auto electrical shop on the way home (north Seattle on Aurora, HWY 99). Was that one of the forum members? Might have been Jason "Kayakthecoast ". Quite a drive from where he lives but maybe it's a really good shop. Linda S

There are plenty of us old ladies driving around in these things and doing just fine. Not getting our brains knocked out or anything. No fancy springs needed. Chris from Vermont lives in hers and regularly commutes from the north east to Texas. Never going to be a Cadillac but very nice driving. You just drove a couple of lemons Linda S

My tranny is oozing now 10 years after replacing the gasket. Gonna get one of those duraprene ones. Sounds good. Linda S

What year Seabreeze was it. Possible it had bad shocks or the air bags were absent or not functional. My 86 drives very smoothly on the highway but on rough roads well it is a truck. You can't really evaluate the ride unless your test driving one with everything in good working order Linda S

So the water heater is disconnected but still in place? And now you want to take it out? I would assume that the propane line going to it would need to be capped off. I'm sure there are propane suppliers everywhere who could do it for you and do it so it's safe Linda S

Too bad they didn't use a Dodge Demon. It could have been a Demon Rader. Linda S

Zack has the same rig as you and he runs 185r14 tires on his. Nope shouldn't matter. The only problem you have is the width of your wheels. Must be pretty wide and you need tires at least wide enough to fit. And tires with a big enough weight capacity. Linda S

Your rig came with 14 inch wheels so I don't think going smaller would hurt anything. Since there don't appear to be any winter studdable tires that big If that's what you need your going to have to go smaller. Just don't know how small you can go on those wheels. Pretty standard size tire is 235/75/15. Shouldn't have a problem finding a winter tire in that size. Linda S

Says it needs some work but looks nice. Might just be a good deal Linda S

275/60/14 haven't been made in many years. If he's still running them he needs to get new tires asap. Linda S

$880 for 7 tires is still a very good price. All season tires too which are pretty hard to find. The only other ones I know about are the Hankooks and some very expensive Nokian's. Linda S

Dolphin tanks from that era were black or marbleized color opaque ABS. If your tank is a translucent white it's a poly tank and someone changed it out and possibly didn't do it right. I'm thinking this is not going to be good Linda S
