  1. I'll check it out tomorrow and get back with an answer. ok. We checked the voltage on the coach battery terminal. It registered 12 volts. So the isolater relay is toast? Both batteries were charged 2 weeks ago. Both batteries registered 6 volts, when we checked today. I'd like to know where all that power goes. A big short somewhere? My hubby & I are trying to figure it out. All coach lights, pump, ect.. runs off the truck battery only. But nothing seemed to run off of the coach battery, when we had it charged to 95%, but yet it's losing charge. Btw this coach battery is only 2 yrs old. It is an AGM type, but would this make a difference? The truck battery was replaced last year. We keep it on a battery tender on the truck battery 8 months of the year. Maybe the coach battery was toast, when I first plugged it in a couple of months ago..... ?

  3. The middle red wire goes to the coil w/igniter.

  5. Does anyone have a link to a good replacement isolator? Also could you take a pic of it, to make sure that I'm looking at the right thing? I could take a pic, but I'm not sure about how to post it here..... ?
  6. The coach battery checked out at 95%, so is fully charged. Next, I will try to find the possible isolator short, after the t-storm passes. Thanx! ?
  7. We were wondering why the truck battery in my 84 Toy Dolphin was always running down. We disconnected the coach battery and turned on the coach lights. They worked, along with the water pump. We disconnected the truck battery and connected the coach battery. Turned on the coach lights. Nothing worked. How could this be? I have no idea what to look for. It's like they're not hooked up right. We've been having battery troubles lately, where we haven't a few years ago. I did get a tune up done about the same time that we started having battery problems, but I just don't know if it's relevant or not. I know that there is an isolation unit, but not sure where that is or if it's the problem. Thank you for any help, guys.
  8. I agree. I've had my 84 Dolphin 22r, with the stick shift for 10 years now. It's always done what I ask it, well. Climbing steep hills goes slower, but the good mileage is so worth it (15-17 mpg). On the level, she'll go 60-65, easy. I did give her a tune up about 2 yrs ago, but otherwise, not a speck of trouble. I did put in better seats (Toyota 4-Runner), for comfort, on long trips.
  9. I paid $3700 for my identical 84 Dolphin with 22r & manual tranny, 10 years ago. No rust on my Minnesota Toyhome. I keep mine inside 8 months out of the year. I put on new tires, fridge & awning in mine, but it was well worth it. Check it over carefully and get them to reduce the price.
  10. My 84 Dolphin has both grey and black waste tanks. Your Toyhome looks great. Good luck with your quest.
  11. Where would be the best place to find this roof coating that I need? Just wondering.... Really anxious to get it done right. Thanx! Tudy
  12. A lot of barking dogs are totally bored, because they are tied up or caged most of the time. If you can't take proper care of your dog, then don't get one. My neighbor's blab is tied up or in the house. He doesn't know the world beyond his tie out. I feel sorry for the dog. If you go camping, you don't expect to leave your dog in the camper all day. That's just common sense. They should be having fun with you. I've had several German Shepards, when I lived on a farm. I really admire the breed. I decided that I'd get a small dog this time, for convenience sake. I live in town. Gizmo can ride in the back of my motorcycle or in the basket of my bike. He's an easy keeper. Weighs 10 #. Mojo, my son's Chinese Pug, weighs a hefty 20#. Both are every bit as smart as my brilliant black German Shepard, Buster. And both Gizmo & Mojo have decended from Chinese lion dogs. Yeah, maybe a little too smart, sometimes. Oh, yeah. And they don't wear no stinkin clothes, either! Not my pups. Jack Russell Terrier, now that's your yippy type of dog, in my experience. But I think that it's, mostly, the owners, that need a scolding.
  13. I have a Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise cross (Gizmo) and my son has a Chinese Pug (Mojo). They have a gruff, growly bark, but do not bark to excess. I would not tolerate it and neither would my son. I have enough problems at home with my neighbor's noisy Blab (black lab).
  14. Hi Tika! Just wondering if there are any more details on the MN area Toyhome rally? As in date & place? Really looking forward to participating! I'm from south central MN. Thank you so much! Tudy 84 Dolphin
