I haven't been on here in a while and I feel I owe a lot to this site for helping with my decision to purchase and improve a Toy. I bought our 1984 Dolphin last August and since have taken many trips up and down the coasts of Michigan, plus one 8,000 mile trek from Michigan out to Oregon and down the California coast surfing and kiting. Any problems? Just a flat tire, no fault of the rig. Mountain passes where slow and the shlog back along I-80 in the heat was slightly disheartening, but other than that I couldn't have imagined it any better. So, here is what we did to our rig. Nothing major, just some adjustments. First I needed a roof rack to get my surfboards out of the living space, and I wanted a box up there for kiteboarding gear. I installed a Yakima roof rack by drilling into the roof. I was scary but I needed to get the gear up there. Then my wife and I repainted the inside and replaced the carpet with a overlapping laminate floor that made it water proof for all the wetsuits and beach sand. My wonderful wife also sewed all new curtains (with a cool beach style pattern) and we bought some fitted sheets to go over the old upholstery. Mechanically, I had all new brakes done, new tires, and a new exhaust system. Here are some pics.
