  1. Heaters can be very dangerous due to CO poisoning. I would have an expert check it out. I removed mine and use a heat strip in the AC unit. But if you have no electricity invest in a good CO detector and a propane leak detector. David
  2. Hopefully you are in a warm weather climate currently. If not I would wait until the weather becomes dry and warm. I would remove the old sealant completely. WD40 helps and then use soap/water to remove the WD40 and then rubbing alcohol for a nice dry application. I would use putty tape which is available at most RV places. I would apply the putty tape onto the window frame and press into place onto the RV. I would then install the inner window frame and slowly tighten each section A LITTLE AT A TIME. I use a hair dryer to heat up the window frame which causes the putty to expand nicely and then tighten again. I would leave it in the sun for a couple of days because the putty will ooze out which is a good thing. Then use a a plastic knife to clean up the excess putty. That is how I do it. Others do it differently. Its not a big deal but patience is important. David
  3. That axle should be upgraded especially since that rig is a 21 footer. David
  4. You are a brave soul. My Toy RV has never seen salt. Toy PU from the 80s and salt dont mix well. David 86 Sun Express
  5. That Rig has been on a EBAY a few times. David 86 Sun Express
  6. A little advice... if the Sunrader has the front wrap-around windows I would avoid it. They "CAN" be problematic for leaking because of their design. All RVs leak including the fiberglass models. Also, the Sunrader has the smallest interior of all the coaches which effects height issues. I have a Sun Express which has probably the largest interior of all coaches - especially in height. How tall are you? JMHO David
  7. Take the sending unit out and connect an ohm meter to the wires. Move the float slowly up and down. The ohm meter should indicate an increase or decrease of resistance. If the resistance doesnt move then the sender is bad or may need the contacts cleaned. Hope that helps David - aka highschoollibrarian
  8. 50,000 miles on that axle could be a potential problem that could happen at anytime. A 6 lug floating axle is the way to go. They are available from junk yards. Pricing anything in today's economy is difficult. David rmdengset - aka highschoollibrarian
  9. 1. I had a 1981 Toyota Cressida that had a bad overdrive relay. When I changed the relay the trans worked perfect. 2. There is a way to over ride the elevation sensor. Not sure how. David
  10. That was an aftermarket cruise control that was installed on most of the 4 cylinder Toy RVs. They are not very good. There are companies that make fully electronic cruise controls for your rig. I would recommend not investing any money in that cruise control. I never use mine. I use my foot because I have an automatic and rarely turn overdrive off unless I am passing a vehicle or come to a hilly area. I have a very large trans cooler.

  11. Ok... Plug your RV into a 110 source (shore power) and try the electrical outlets. If you are not getting power to your outlets then your inverter is the problem (fuses, bad connection, etc). If they work then start your generator and plug something directly into the generator. If it works then the connection from your generator to your RV is the problem. If it doesn't work it is your generator which could be something simple or something not so simple as a bad magneto. David 86 Sun Express
