  1. OOPS, I'll turn around in a few more minutes......Famous last words
  2. Un plug the power leads to the AC heater and check for continuity with an ohm meter.
  3. The left hand threads were a 1 year thing. Most are found on the 86 models that came with a factory installed 1 ton rear, but still had the 5 bolt front. What year is years.?
  4. Yep, if it has 3 hand hole rims, you must clock the outer rim to match the inner valve stem.
  5. Sorry this ain't an English class, its about information for Toyota MHs. Go with the flow. Banger your lucky, try and explain to some 18 year old grease monkey, with his air wrench set to stun, that there left hand threads on the left rear. It only took the shop 2 weeks to find the correct studs and nuts.
  6. Never mind how big the old battery is. Check and see how much room there is in the box. BTW Interstate makes a 10" long AGM group 24 battery
  7. This what my friend used http://www.upack.com/lp/moving.asp?r=m01100&refnum=googlemv&c=G%2FMOVING%2FUS&g=B%2FSELF+MOVE%5F1&m=broad&k=self+pack+moving&ad=25515103036&ap=1s2&gclid=CMy0tezpicACFQyNaQodi5IAfA Also google Mayflower self move.
  8. More from the peanut gallery. Have wife drive pickup and trailer. Flat tow the Toy with the big city truck after dropping the drive shaft. I helped a friend move a year or so ago. She used a service where the moving company just dropped of several shipping containers which we packed, then the mover showed up, loaded them in an enclosed van and 2 weeks later she took delivery. The move was from Riverton WY to Tallahassee FL. No PODS here in WY.
  9. OK so how do I do that? The photo has 2 different styles of chucks, straight and angled. The red thing in the middle is called "valve capper" it will reach into a set of duals and remove the valve cap or the valve core.
  10. I don't know how to post pictures here taken from Yahoo to this site, except by posting a link. Any help???
  11. Stupid answer that you don't want to hear, is that you are in the market for a new 2' coupler.
  12. Right tool for the right job https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/toyota-campers/photos/albums/1613517240
  13. We were coming back from Vegas one summer, doing Toy speeds. I was getting a bit sleepy so I let Momma drive, when I woke up and went forward, we were doing 75 in 3rd. She said that was the speed limit so it was OK. The next buy was an SR-5 instrument panel so she could drive by the tach.
  14. IMHO 100w is the minimum needed for true boondocking. Your refer should be on propane and a convection oven is a non-starter. A larger battery is very desirable, it will store any excess solar power for cloudy days. Basically the size of battery determines how long you can run your stuff and the size of the solar panel determines how fast the battery gets recharged. A 100w panel will average about 4 amps of charge over a day. So 4 amps x 10 hours give your about 40 AH of power. Figure out how much power you will be using and go from there.
  15. Buy one and follow the instructions. There are several different ways to hook up tachs. To tell you one way could be wrong for what you bought. Most require 2 or 3 wires.
  16. Using the 110v wires is a common fix. On the other vent remove the close by light and push a straightened coat hanger to the vent. You can use it to pull new wires from the vent to the 12v light.
  17. A diode isolator will have a .7v drop across it. A relay type will have much less when new, or has high quality contacts (silver)
  18. Check E-bay Radiator (oil cooler) fans start at 7" which will flow around 600 CFM, a 10" will flow around 1500 CFM
  19. Well Tofu you got 3 choices 1. Find a RV repair shop and tell them to fix your 12v setup, be sure to bring $200. 2. Camp in campgrounds like the PO did. 3. Get a volt meter and a book and fix it your self. Starting level book. http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Systems-Troubleshooting-Repairing-Improvement/dp/007042778X/ref=la_B001ITVMYK_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406938352&sr=1-2 You might as well start with #3. With a 25 year old RV having a voltmeter and knowing how to use it is as important as having tools.
