That plastic sheet you're talking according to Odyssey is ABS sheeting. One of the easiest things to bond to other sections of ABS. Search site for ABS slurry. I've posted it tons of times. Odyssey also claims the floor was insulated. Could it just have compressed so much you can't see it. Cut out more than you need. keeping it square or rectangle will make it easier. Fiberglass over whatever you do will certainly make it last longer and help tie it to walls. Tie it all together with a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood over all existing floor. I know it's a lot of work but all the more reason to make sure you only have to do it once. Linda S

Sunrader floors aren't fiberglass. They are wood same as yours. Look at Toyoguy, Bobthebuilder and some others work. You can find it a search or just search Sunrader floor. Yours looks pretty bad. Replace everything with any damage. Layers, sheet metal at bottom to protect from road, layer of plywood, insulation then top it off with top layer of wood. Fiberglass over all for durability.

Buy a longer cable. You need to get an idea of what you have and find a longer one. Maybe this? 1984-1988 Toyota Pickup Parking Brake Cable - Raybestos BC93740 - Front - PartsGeek.com Linda S

Bearings and seals should all be available on Rock Auto. Can't see the wheels on your rig but I think all the full floats have the same parts so you need to be looking at 87 and newer trucks. Make sure it says for a double wheel or WT or cab and camper. Not the same as a regular truck. Linda S

I'm no 4x4 expert but I do know that Marlin Crawler is the place to go to find out. They have a forum you can ask questions on too. Here's the gear ratio chart Transmission Gear Ratio Chart | Marlin Crawler, Inc. Since gearing on the L45 is the same as the L50 I would assume the L48 is also the same. Also I would check your axle code to confirm rear gearing. Check Marlin for transfer case info too. Think you need a 21 spline. This site has some interesting transfer case info too 3.

This RV has 6 slide outs and is probably over 40 ft long. This site is for Toyota motorhomes. Maybe you're looking for another group. Linda S

If you can find John he's all you need. He knows exactly what to do and he's usually pretty helpful. Post on the IO site but definitely look at Facebook too. Might also use the handle sirwrenchalot.

Here are a couple of items you need to know. Apparently you can put your old pumpkin in the full floater and you need to. Axle flange won't fit your old drive shaft if you don't. Posted September 23, 2014 · IP (edited) I put the so-called "1 ton" rear axle in my 1978 Chinook. The donor rear axle came from a 1987 dually box-truck. The OEM semi-floating 5 lug axle (like you have) is rated for around 1 1/2 tons max weight. The dually so-called "1 ton" full-floating axle with 6 X 7.25" lugs is rated for 2 1/2 tons. In itself the term "1 ton" axle is kind of useless. Here are the changes I had to make to install that dually full-floater in my 1978 Toyota. #1 - the axle tubes are different diameters. So U-bolts with a different curve are needed to be made or bought that clamp the axle-tube to the springs. #2 - since the axle tubes have different diameters, the bottom brackets that the U-bolts attach to also need to changed. #3 - the shock mounts are different. 1978 has both shocks mounted in front of the axle and the bottoms attach to the spring-u-bolt brackets. Later trucks have staggered-mount shocks. Toyota never made the front-mount brackets for the larger axle tubes so some fabrication is needed. #4 - the frame rails and spring-packs are closer together on the older trucks. So a newer axle - like a 1987 - will need to have the spring perches cut off and rewelded closer together to mate with the springs and frame-rails on an older truck. #5 - the rear stabilizer-bar from a later full-floater can be attached to the narrower-spaced older frame-rails if you make new brackets for the stabilizer-link-ends. I've installed later full floaters into two older 70s Toyota trucks and have plenty of specs and photos if wanted. Posted September 23, 2014 · One other item I forgot to mention. The older trucks have small U-joints on the driveshaft and the old driveshaft flange will not bolt up to the the flange-hub on a newer full-floating dually axle. Also, you cannot take the flange-hub off the older semi-floater and install on the newer full-full floater because the spines on the pinion input are different. One fix is to get an aftermarket pinion flange for the duallly rear that comes with multiple bolt patterns. Another fix is to just take the Hotchkiss center-section (with the ring & pinion assembly) out of your old semi-floater and swap it into the dually full-floater. It is a bolt-in swap and works fine.

Mine is G292. 8 inch, 4.10 ratio, 2 pinion. Linda S

Yes makes no sense to swap and get the same ratio. The one from the Dolphin is newer, might be in better shape. Quite a few people have switched to a 4.56 or even a 4.88 dif for increased performance, Linda S

Something doesn't look right. Take it out and show pics of just the blower motor and up into housing. Did you remove the fan or buy a new one. Did they come attached. My Ford blower motor came with the gasket but I don't see them on the Toyota ones anywhere or any you can buy. Tell me what exactly you bought too. Link? Linda S

I really don't think Gardner Pacific altered any frames after 1986 to make yours be 142 inch wheelbase. I know they extended earlier ones because they had to, to accommodate the larger size campers. Your never going to find any Toyota truck that will fit your camper without frame extensions. Maybe a Tundra with an 8ft bed. Wheelbase on them is something like 140 inches. I'm not there so it's hard to give you simple answers. Linda S

No worries just don't lock it. If anyone like a professional LP tech asks tell them it gives the impression that it's locked for safety. Linda S

Good catch. Yes, Odyssey 4x4 he is correct. No locks allowed on propane access doors. Linda S

Truth is if someone with a conventional nozzle needed to read that label to know how to do it I wouldn't want them filling my tank anyway Linda S

Looks beautiful. Linda S

Last time I had my tank filled it was at a TA truck stop. Huge chain with 300 truck stops nationwide. No such nozzle there. It's not like the standard nozzles take that long to fill a tank. Couldn't find anything about that nozzle either but just did. It's a quick connect for refilling propane vehicles like buses. Maybe U-Haul Atlanta has the contract to fill city busses there and that's why they all have them. Don't think it's going to be that likely you will find them at service stations on the road. Expensive equipment. Linda S

Here are the parts for the freezer spring. You have to buy the left and right for the springs and the housings. I did mine in the past but I must admit I don't remember exactly how I did it. Must be something on youtube. dometic freezer door spring for sale | eBay The blind parts your never going to find. Whoever made them has probably been out of business for 30 years. Maybe a pic of one thats still there and I can think of something. For the table post I need to see a pic and I need you to measure how long it should be. If you don't have any posts, at least show me what it goes into on the table or the floor. Dolphin used several types of table supports Linda S

I have never seen an ASME nozzle like that before. I suggest you reprint your label because when traveling it's very possible the places you stop for propane might not have seen a nozzle like that either. Linda S

There is no such site. Depending on what you need your searching for parts to repair an appliance or a truck part or certain types of window parts, molding, holding tank etc. for the coach. Tell us what you need and we can help Linda S

Are the windows broken or missing entirely. If the frames are still there and in decent shape most glass places can make you new glass for it. You must remove the frames and just take them in. Very few places will deal with something installed in the camper. Linda S

Wow, incredible job. Your tank is from a company I've never heard of. I have looked at so many Sunraders and I've never seen one with anything but a Manchester tank. That explains the big guard on it. On the good side you have a larger propane capacity than all the other Sunraders. They all came with a 7.9 gallon tank no matter what the size of the rig. Linda S

Before you consider the swap you must contact the California bureau of auto repair for instructions. Helps to have the vin number of the vehicle the engine came out of. My daughter is a manager at DMV and even she didn't know all the rules. Helps to actively work with a referee during the swap Engine Changes - Bureau of Automotive Repair (ca.gov) You will have to have it inspected by the referee after the change. Linda S

I searched this site for comments from other Odyssey owners and removing and filling the tank was an issue for quite a few. Yes you must remove it and fill it upright. Did you watch that old guy who worked on it fill it? The second pol valve with the plastic spin handle is the way to go since it's going to have to be removed often. Linda S

Yes 2 stage is required. Come out of tank high pressure. Single stage it stays high pressure, aka barbeque. 2 stage it comes out low pressure which is what your appliances in an RV need. How on earth is that tank filled? Don't see a proper fill place Linda S
