Sounds like a plan. Just how hot is your engine temp during a long climb? Many toys go to the over 1/2 way mark

If you have an external cooler adding another one is a chance for leaks. Instead install a new larger single unit. A flat plate cooler is approximately 30% more efficient that a round tube design. On my Escaper I installed one. With some design work I installed it in front of the AC condenser. I also had it flowing in series with the factory cooler in the radiator. Climbing a 10,000ft pass in the summer, pulling a 5x8ft enclosed trailer. My transmission temps were in the 210 range. The temp sensor was mounted in the transmission output line.

Is your radiator 1 row or 2 row??

IMHO 1. OK, remove the A/C. Replace with a Fantastic fan. 2. Couch not worth the trouble 3. Awning remove it, DON'T replace with anything. Any replacement will weigh almost as much as the rollup. 4. Power cord, not worth it. 5. Remove the entire stove, replace with a stove top and make a storage space under the stovetop. Further reductions may result in a conflict between being "green" and being light. A. Paper plates and plastic ware. B. Fewer cooking pots. C. Less food. There is always a store near by to buy stuff. D. Less clothes E. If you didn't use it on this trip, leave it behind on the next trip. A full tune up and correct tire pressure will let your RV roll easier, sorta the same thing as reducing weight to let it roll easier.

Plan B is to get one adapter and have a 6 bolt spare. If you ever have a flat on the front you can bolt on the adapter and mount the spare. Of course the 6 bolt fits the rear just fine. This way you only need one adapter and one rim. I did this for 2 years before funding allowed a second set. P.S. In this 2 years both flats I had were on the rear, inside tire of course.

If your traveling with someone, make it a house rule no cell phone or texting while the house is in motion. You never know what is out there. A trip is an adventure take advantage of every part. When your stopped for the night your guest can get caught up in the text world. A total extra benefit is the driver gets an extra pair of eyes on the road.

The classic case of how bad do you want it. But all it takes is a phone call to find out the $$

Yea it looks a little blacksmithy, but there 4 bolts in solid metal and the shear strength of an 8.8 grade 10mm bolt is over 3 tons. I don't think the brake caliper can exert over 12 tons of force on the rotor with out ripping the linings off the pads or destroying the rotor itself. JD also says it runs true so again a bit blacksmithy but done within the limits of the design he was working with.

Just to check things unplug the water pump and see what happens.

Search for BLM. Basic policy is 14 days at a time, then you have to move 30 miles and the 14 days starts over.

Well if reading works for you. May I recommend "Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintance" . Not so much for the facts but more as a start on the proper attitude for a long distance Toy voyage

Last year we did Tillamook OR to Petaluma CA. OR has CA beat when it comes to camping spots

I don't know, I think you would have to be crazy to try something like this. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/toyota-campers/photos/albums/319879374/lightbox/672012174#zax/467187196 First gear at 11000 ft https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/toyota-campers/photos/albums/319879374/lightbox/672012174#zax/1325405724 interesting roads https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/toyota-campers/photos/albums/319879374/lightbox/672012174#zax/672012174 not the top yet, 11,312ft toy is a 1986 Escaper 4 cylinder, automatic.

Putting the window in the shade is always than just blocking the sun from the inside. When I used the reflectix inside it would get hot between the window and the reflectix sort of an open sided solar collector

I used magnets inside and out side to hold reflextix window covers up. In the summer the shields inside help, but were much better outside.

At 35 mph you should be in 2nd gear. I would recommend a tach installed asap. The redline with a 22r is 5750rpm, it will climb all day at 4-4500 rpm

Well duh your self, There is NO electric blanket in back of your refer. There is an electric restance heating coil and a fiberglass insulation. Ignorance is one thing, attitude is something else.

A volt/ohm meter is going to be best friend. Use the ohm function and check the wires to ground, those that are go to the neg side. Plug in the Toy to 110v AC and check with the voltmeter to ground, your looking for 12-14v dc. Still got wire you don't know about? then unplug from the house and start the truck and check the rest of the wires for 12v. Still more wires then follow them and see if they go to your 12v fuse panel.

I think your OK. Just practice downshifting and slow down a bit. One thought the stock Toyota cooling fan is a very good system IF the clutch works and the full fan shroud is intact.

Do the front parking and turn lights behave?

Get a volt meter and check that the voltage into the tail light is correct, may be the factory wires are goofy. Other than that 90% of tail light problems are bad grounds.

Well just in time for the 4th of July weekend. WY. raises the speed limit on sections of I 80 and I 25 to 80mph. Be sure to hurry here in your Toy to enjoy this treat.

Its not so much Dolphin vs Sunrader as it is P/O vs P/O. A Dolphin keep warm and dry with attention to keeping it sealed and the water out will age gracefully. Letting a leak go unattended for a few years is an invitation to disaster. Lets just say a Sunrader handles abuse better.
