  1. I could not find one at Walmart, think I got one at Auto Zone, most auto parts stores should have one. Just make sure it's for Toyota and the right year. The come with instruction, simple to do.
  2. If the coach is an 89 the chassis is probably an 88, at least mine is. You can down load the Toyota truck manual on line. If you email Winnebago they can email a copy of wiring and plumbing diagrams.
  3. I did pull the unit, most have four screws on the front usually behind some plastic covers, and a couple of screws on the bottom that you access through the outer vent door. Mine however being a Winni had plates attached to fridge and then bolted to the sides of the opening. At the current time I am driving the fridge around in the back of my truck trying dislodge any blockage. Not sure if it will work but thought it worth a try before buying a rebuilt cooling unit.
  4. Norcold 875EG2, burner gets hot on both propane and AC but fridge not working as it should. Even by passed control unit and direct wired to AC and still not getting cold. Any thoughts before I try and pull unit and try the remix by laying on side as manual says which may fix problem.
  5. How do I remove the black water tank on my 89 Itasca Spirit? The wood on the side of camper that is under the main floor it rotted and needs to be replaced. I may be able to replace it without dropping the the tank but just in case I can't, how do I remove it. I see the straps but wonder what else I need to undo?
  6. Not sure what you have, I have Hehr 5600 series windows on mine. Replacements can be found at www.pellandent.com/
  7. You might try Winnebago parts catalog, a lot of the toy parts are interchangeable.
  8. I don't think the water weld will work. You might want to try Seal All, I use it on kind of material. I put it on pin holes on my cheap nylon chest waders and it works.
  9. My Itasca Spirit came with roller window shades, but I to have been researching window film; I like to see out while I am camping. I have decided on the residential film from Gila. They have one that blocks of 70% of suns heat but you can still see through easly. I am waiting for Lowes to restock. The only problem I see is putting on the siding style windows, it won't be a problem with the stationary windows. I also found some exterior window film on the Internet not quite as good but my have to use for the sliders.
  10. Any place that sells name batteries should be able to get you the battery for truck, you just have to make sure it fits and does not hit the hood. The coach battery needs to be a deep cycle the bigger the better, I would run at least a 115 amp hour size 27, I believe they also make size 31.
  11. Saw somewhere on this site about using a timer on the house current, only about an hour or a day if left plugged in all the time. Kinda makes since as this it what I learned to do with my marine batteries for the boat, (these are on cheap float chargers but these also can boil battery). They sure last a lot longer.
  12. Here is what I came up with, sure someone else as done it also, but just wanted to share. Blue jean, fiberglass screen, magnants, an good ole Mighity Mendit. Sorry my edit software is haywire.
  13. I am lost on this one, my tire guy here in Doo Dah or the land of OZ, also known as Wichita, KS says Hancook, Hankook or how ever the name is spelled, do not make that size. But I really don't think he knows how to check on it either.
  14. Don't think it would work in my case, I have one wall that is always gonna have water on it when showering, the others are covered by the shower curtain. I have talked to wallpaper store and boy is it expencive for there stuff, and not even sure it it would work. Went to a little off the wall store we have here and found some solid vinyl wallpaper, not the colth back for only a buck 99; will do some project testing on other stuff first just to see what it takes. If I get this to work I think I will just pull toliet so I don't have to stand on my head. To dang old and dang tall. Can't even stand up in this thing, not even in the bath with the skylight that added two inches.
  15. There are some sites on the net that can give you the answer your looking for wheel and tire. Next time you might want to downsize photo so it does not take so long to load, not all of us have the super high speed connection.
  16. Yup same stuff, but this stuff is now ilegal, something to do with health laws or something. Don 't think you can find it any place anymore. They used to make in all different size, not just the cupboards size.
  17. Anyone got any idea on where to find to stick on waterproof wallpaper that was used for years in the bathroom. Looking for a quick fix for now till I have time to rework the bath right.
  18. You will probably need at least a 2800 watt generator to run A/C, your fridge probably is only a two way which means it will only run on a/c current or propane not 12 volt.
  19. Do you have weep holes on window that leaks, could be forced in thru those. My side window in bath leaks when rain forced in by wind, but not otherwise. Figured from where the leak is that must be it. Just a thought.
  20. Here is a new slant to the vibration. I have an 88 Buick Regal with front wheel drive and auto trans that had this type of vibration. I replaced both cv joints (twice) new ball joints and other stuff. Still had the vibration, took it to a trans shop and they said it was due to the torque converter, then said it was probably because of lack of power and suggested a tune up. Upon checking found the coil pack modulator was bad. Put in another modulator and the vibration left.
  21. It would work but the battery charge would not last. I would guess no more than 1 day if that. It would be fine while driving and using the coach battery that it being charged as you go, but when stopped you would need shore power.
  22. In my humble opinion I would not pay that much. I think you will be in for headaches and a lot of out of pocket expense fixing all the problems. Leaks are very expensive to fix on any camper let alone the time. It took me months to find my Toy and I am on a very small budget. I made up my mine just how much I could go then got lucky and picked up an 89 Spirit for 2,000. Believe it or not I advertised I was looking on graigslist.
  23. Looks like a break not a crack. Does it have some kind of hitch or did it? It looks like maybe someone was trying to pull something that was to heavy. My thinking is you will have to jack up the rear to relieve pressure to get it even again. I would also get some 2x2 square heavy wall steel tubing and run it from back by the bumper and as far in as you can go and have it welded in place on inside of frame. I'd do both sides at the same time. While your at it run 2x2 cross member at or near the rear and another as far in as you can go. I did this on mine for frame reinforcement in order to install a hitch. My frame was still in good shape so I just bolted mine together. In your case it will have to be welded. Doing this should fix it and prevent further problems. You will probably have to remove rear bumper, and be careful welding near your waste tanks. Good luck and keep us posted.
