Firestone doesn't make airbags for our units anymore. Airlift motorhome airbags are still available and are rated just as high as the old Firestone ones were. Up to 5000lbs of lift. Linda S

Seabreeze is the same as Dolphin and most of them have T9 airbags. The bags they used were made by Firestone and max inflation is about 100psi. I run mine at 50 to 60 usually. I would consider 40 the minimum for a motorhome and 80 max. Somewhere in between you'll find what works right for you. No measuring required. Just look to see if your motorhome looks level front to back and side to side. Some rigs with all the appliances, tanks and stuff on one side list slightly and the air bags can take care of that. Never let the Air bags completely deflate. Weight of the motorhome can rip the rubber. I also use mine to level at camping spots. Let air out where I need it so my fridge is level. Can't adjust enough at extremely uneven ground but enough at most developed campsites. Linda S Oh and Doug. Our rigs are always overloaded

Absolutely not. Lots of tires available online. Shipping is usually free and prices are way better than you could find locally. Just Google 185r14 tires, no middle aspect ratio, and dozens will come up. Just nothing with an ST or trailer on the description. Here's one popular company. None of these are trailer tires 185R14 Tires | Shop at Priority Tire Linda S

1 ton T100 will give you very close to the same track as the outside wheels on a dually. Dually is 61 inches WMS to WMS. The T100 is 66.75. So you get an extra 2.8 inches on each side. Should be very close to the extra width from the outside dually wheel. The payload on these trucks was 2500lbs. More than a lot of newer V8 trucks. Linda S

National RV who made Dolphin was the only company who made any effort to help customers with the axle upgrade. For that reason you will find more Dolphins with the true dually. Of course some never got upgraded. You know what a full float dually looks like. Just always ask for pictures of the rear axle hub with no wheel covers on it. Linda S

Seat Cover Upgrade
linda s replied to Ctgriffi's topic in Improvement and Do-It-Yourself Projects you have done to Share!
Yeah that is weird. I even looked on the companies website instead of just Rock Auto. Year must be the difference but our seats aren't that much different. Linda S Yup year is the difference. Rock auto prices are 100 bucks less that the company website. Good deal. -

Those are beautiful but all the bucket seat with separate headrest say headrest covers not available. Linda S -
I love the look of most of these import campers but I don't drive on that side. Too old to change. Most of Europe drives on the correct side of the road and Germany and Italy have made some awesome campers. I check eBay in those countries from time to time just to see what's there. Germany also makes some really nice truck campers for smaller trucks. Linda S Just remembered. Met a couple from Germany a few weeks ago driving the motorhome they brought with them. pretty small, all fiberglass and very cool. Didn't get the name of it though

Just checked. Maximum width of West Coast Jr is 15 inches. My mirrors on my Sunrader outside edge of mirror is 20 inches. Big difference Linda S

Your coach is narrower than most of ours. Doesn't come out far enough for me to see properly. I would have to add some kind of extension Linda S

Looks beautiful. We would very much like to know what truck mirrors you found that fit. Lots of us have rusty loop arms that aren't going to last much longer. Linda S

Location is what matters. When you first posted I searched for any members near you who could help and found none. Doesn't mean there aren't any Toyota motorhome lovers near you but you're going to need a wider audience. Post on Craigslist and Facebook so you can interest as many people as you can. Take pictures and post them in the ads. Make it look as nice as possible Good luck Linda S

I do need a boat. My seams all split apart during the last Shasta trip. I was very lucky it didn't do it far out or I would have lost my motor too. This one is a little too big for me though. These things can create some bone crushing G forces. My bones are pretty old. I think I want to keep them not crushed. Linda S

Water is fine for now and you might be able to see where it's leaking. Leaking coolant on the ground is a no no. Animals will try to drink it, it's sweet, and die. Have you tried to start it since you reattached that hose. A vacuum hose off will make it not start. I also think your battery is probably too dead to start it anyway. Sorry we can't help more.
