Look for another set of fuses next to your power converter. May also be some fuses installed inline on your battery cables. A multimeter will help you trace whether power is running from point to point.

Two of my amber marker lights were Harbor Freight LED lights but they both quit working. The remaining three were smaller LED lamps off of ebay and they are working still. For the rear marker lamps, I installed Ebay Uhaul surplus lamps, two halogen bulbs per fixture. I tried LED's on the interior lights but they were a bluish, resembling old fluorescent bulbs. I went back to the incandescents. My porch light is still LED, a bulb from China - about a quarter of the LED elements have failed. Later, I bought all new interior fixtures from an Ebay place in Elkhart Indiana. These came with halogen bulbs. Camping stores seem to be carrying LED's with a more friendly spectrum. For the back running lights, some of my wires are in reverse and the LED bulbs will not function with the wrong polarity. The truck stops like Pilot now carry marker LED lights for $3 that look professional grade. I will consider these for future reference.

My Warrior had water damage in the shape of a U on the floor of the bunk area over the cab. I pealed the wood down to almost the foam. Then cut fiberglass cloth to fit over the affected area and then over about four inches of the remaining "good wood". Poured about a quart of mixed epoxy resin over the surface. The fiberglass cloth swelled up with the resin. The remaining dry rot wood melded well inside the resin. Next, a U - shaped piece of carpet covers the area around the cab opening everything looks like new. For extra integrity, I placed a couple of 2' X 5' plywood boards over the bunk area. Folding over the futon mattress, I can slide one board forward to open up the cab "ceiling" but usually I never do.

The V6 has more torque so the engine cruises in the lower RPM range, especially in overdrive. The transmission with the later models is more robust. No wrong axle issues with the V6. When speed is needed, the V6 will go 70 mph but gas mileage drops considerably, down to 10-12 mpg, depending on prevailing wind direction. Mine has over 230K miles and runs like a top.

Hankook R8 is $91 delivered to the nearest Walmart; includes free mounting. Just ordered one to replace one of my old Goodyears.

My Warrior typically gets 15 mpg at 55 mph. Have also seen 18 mpg at 75 mph but that was a windy day and the wind was a tailwind. With a strong headwind, 12 mpg at 55 mph. I've also seen 10 mpg at 75.

Yes, Uhaul used these chassis for their smallest moving trucks. Some have even converted the moving box into a camper.

My 91 WInnie Warrior already had a chain winch just forward of the gray water tank. I bought a spare rim/tire from a local Uhaul contractor and cranked it up using the Toyota jack tools in the camper. I've needed the spare three times so far due to tires starting to shred, never losing air, just rubber.

When I bought my Warrior, the rotor was worn down and the distributor cap showed burns where arcing was occurring. Pop the distributor cap and take a quick look.

I don't know if it has the right rear axle.

It's calling for JDemaris. Another one for the fleet. However, I know some cats that would like to play on those diagonal poles.

I have a 91 Warrior which also had been fairly inactive for the last couple of years before I purchased it. Initially, I changed the engine oil, differential oil, air filter, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor. The transmission oil was milky so I drained and replaced the fluid. Drove it and replaced it again. After the next trip, I replaced the oil again and it has remained clear. The 3.0 V6 is a non-interference engine - the valves will not contact the pistons if the timing belt breaks. Uhaul typically changed the water pump and timing belt as part of their 90,000 mile check. Some Uhauls may still have parts for these engines/chassis. The Uhaul site on ebay sells a number of parts relatively cheap.

I had a tire start to lose its outer rubber such that a foot long flap of rubber was slapping the fender well. A busy highway was not the place to change the tire. There was a rest stop a mile down the road so I limped the camper along at about 3 mph. Since the temperature was about 100 F, having a source of shade and water was welcome. The three tires that failed on me never lost air pressure. They were all older, 7 - 9 years. One Yokohama and two Goodyear.

I've used the Toyota bottle jack for changing tires on the rear on several occasions and experience no problems. A portable starter/air compressor has been very handy for insuring the spare tire is up to the required 50+ PSI.

Most likely some water in the bottom of the tank got into the fuel pump inlet. Another possibility is that winter blend gasoline is prone to vaporizing. Due to the grade, your engine compartment may have been hotter than normal. There are other reasons for power loss such as plugs, wires, rotor, cap, coil, etc. Do a visual inspection. If the power loss becomes intermittent, the fuel pump might need replacing.

As a former navy engineer, my camper is like a miniature version of my ship: potable water system, CHT systems, HVAC, power distribution, main propulsion - but in miniature versions. Even the over-cab bunk resembles the rack on my first ship. The Toyhome is like a member of the family.

Toyota used to have a collection of valve shims for doing the valve job. Do you stock the collection or the individual shims?
