you can buy a new ac unit ,it is 13.5k output for less than $500 brand new and the shipping is free from ppl.If your still interested i will find their website. My sunraider's unit is only a 7k ,but that unit is not available,this unit is the replacement,and fits perfect.

I would like suggestions for camp grounds in the upper peninsula of michigan,I am not looking for rv parks but rather state campgrounds .I have been there many times and have a few favorites but always looking for someplace new. anyone who has never been there will be surprised at the beauty of the great northern part of this state. LW

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice, after looking the tank and fittings over I am a little concerned about the tank itself,there are a few spots along the bottom that have bubbled down to bare metal that makes me wonder if it could be a pinhole in the tank. I just had cataract surgery on tues,so my vision has been a little off. I decided to just order a new tank made by manchester,it is the same size,holds 7.9 gallons .The gauge is in a lower location so it will be easier to read,I should have it in about a week.I am planning a trip up to michigan in july and most places don't have hook ups so the 7.9 gallons will be a big advantage thanks again. LW

I called a few propane dealers and they suggest a rv service shop,so I called one and they won;t repair a used tank but will replace it.I : not sure of the correct terminology for the fittings.There is a small port that sticks out that has a tag on it that says stop filling when liquid comes out.there does not seem to be a way to remove this part. then there is a filling connection that is connected to the tank with 4 bolts.next there is a open / shut valve that is a tee the left side has a blue plastic cap that is easily removed but I don;t know what that side would be used for.On the right side of the tee the regulator is connected and feeds the appliances,above the valve is the fuel gauge,held in with 4 screws. the tank is 31" long and 10"diameter .I think it will be easy to remove but the fuel line from the fill to the gas tank ( for the engine ) is real tight.th is is a 2" pipe,so bending it a little might be tough . Iam not sure what 5 toy is sayng about the bleeder.any help is appreciated

thanks maineah , I will call around today.I would rather have it repaired than spend $400 on a new one.

thanks 5toy,I think that since the valve is shut off that the leak would be in the tank or fittings,but I am hoping someone can confirm that.I discovered the leak at the end of last season,and I tried to use soap and water to find it without any luck I should have used my grandsons bubbles maybe it would have made it eaiser to find.Now I have to have the tank filled again.I am not sure where to find someone who repairs them. The tee setup you describe is exactly what I want ,for a bbq grill and extra fuel in case I run outI would like to know whatparts can be replaced or new gaskets .my tank is mounted behind an access door and is filled in place. before I buy a new tank I would to see if there is a cheaper option.

My 87 sunrader has developed a slight leak in the propane tank.It leaks while the valve has the tank shut off.I have searched for old post,but haven't found anything that covers any part that could be replaced,so I am looking for any help as to what could be leaking.The tank is horizonal and I think it is 5.5 or 6 gallons.I have looked around at new tanks but they are around $400.When I either repair or replace the tank I would like to install a tee on the supply line so I could use a 20# tank as a extra supply.Any help or suggestions will help. Thanks Jim

thanks for the replys,I think I will drive the toy down to auto-zone and have it tested,and then find a more reliable source for a replacement. (sorry auto zone,I do buy parts there )Years ago when a alternator went bad you could repair it yourself.I had a '83 toy the alternator quit charging,I took it apart and was amazed at the quality compared to a GM unit,it had roller bearings My lights came on ever since I bought instead of the sealed bearings.I just replaced the brushes for a few dollars.How the times have changed. My brake and battery light came on everytime I started it up every since I bought it 2 years ago,and would go out after raising the rpms.I'm glad it happened now before I was out on the road.

I know this post was from last year but with camping seasonalready here I thought I would share my favorite spots in Ohio. (1) hocking hills,the state campground at old mans cave is my favorite,but it is very popular and can get busy,research the area it is really the garden spot of the state. (2)lake hope,another state campground,it is about 20 miles south of hocking hills There are several private campgrounds near hocking hills (3) shawnee forest It is also a state campground and is in a beautiful part of the state.I hope that some of you will enjoy these great locations

I started to get my toy ready for the up coming season.I have a few items that need attention and was going to start on that list,but now something has made its way to the top. First let me say that my toy always had the brake light and battery light come on when I started it up,and I had to rev it up a couple thousand rpms and this would make them go out.I mean everytime .I start and drive it about every month during the winter,just to keep it exercised.This week when it started the brake lite and battery light won't go out. My first thing I am going to check will be the alternator.Has anybody ever had a problem like this?Because if the alternator is ok I would like to know what to check next.The truck battery is new and has good voltage,the house battery is old and is one of the items that will be replaced. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. Jim

Thanks for the replys,I might try the spacers,but I like the fabricated brackets.I don't have a welder but I have thought about one of the cheaper wire feed welders that I have seen.It would be cheaper to buy one than buy my friend beer.As I said I have had other toy pickups and never had a problem with leg room.My rader is in great shape with low miles so I wouldn't want to get rid of it . I have cruise but I never use it, I prefer to drive on state routes rather than interstates. I just have to find a fix before summer. I wonder if replacing the seat tracks or remounting the existing ones might work.

I have a 87 sunrader that has very cushioned seats,they are in great shape.The problem is I need more leg room,now Im only 5'10" and my legs aren't that long.I have had other toyota pickups and haven't had any problems,but on long drives in the sunrader my knees start hurting.I think the padding is keeping me from being able to extend my legs out.I hate to replace the seats,but we are planing a long trip next summer and I want to be comfortable.If anyone has had this problem I would like to hear your solution.

thanks Maineah,Mine has a after market radio that someone connected to the cig lighter wire.( I will change that when I replace the radio )I still had a draw when I disconnected that fuse.I hoped there would be a relay that was stuck.I'll keep looking

I have traced the problem to the horn side of the system..Did toyota use a horn relay on the 1987 trucks,if dhey did where is it located.

1987,sorry I left that out
