one kind of fix is too totaly reroof it with a rubber membrain roof these are commonl y used on old metal top trailer homes where i live in wa st . they warrenty them in that case for 10 years . i have seen those old trailers with the cheiling out inside. showing mass rust pinholes. This stuff is what they use for roofs on modern RVS, in my P .O.P it is the only real fix.

the bottom radiator hose on the 22re is a two pices affair . one too the block. too a pipe and one from the pipe too the radiator. so yes 3 pices including the top hose .

replaced my 1972 20 pound horizontal propane tank on my 1987 dolphon. with two 11 pound upright squaty muchroom tanks. they are about half the hgt of a 20 pound bbq tank. work s very well put two new hoses and a tee on the regulator .you might be able too find some of these . Linda had a picture of one on here somtime ago. the ones i got where manchester.

i just love these people that use silicone on a head gasket. obvisly a rank dont know or dont care job . some of the younger people think that stuff is the answer to anything. and the people who sell it too them. will tell them that it is .

did you look at the old head gasket . on the 20R older types some people would install a felpro after market head gasket. i dont know if felpro fixed there problem . but the older gaskets wher a perma torque said to never need retighting. they just did not work. about 2 years was about all they would last. got this straight from a good toyota mecinac. and had this happen to me . never had head off a 22r but that rtv makes me think some one was in there before but those old felpros came with stuff like that on them. personaly as i am from the dark ages i have never used rtv on anything. the toyota gasket 20 R came ready to install. anything else i use copper cote or nasty old black permatex brush on . nasty seals great use on water pump gaskets . 40rty 5 years never had one leak.

a good shop i would think would not use that sander . however some years back i had a shop do the head on my datsun B210 this was a very small pushrod moto r had aways had a slight head oil leak. i bought the car new . they used a belt sander on the head i know for a fact . and this was an aluminum head. all i can say is it never leaked oil again. but the next time i went to a real machine shop with a 20 r head they used a very old and good surfacing planer. another thing is did the prevous owners change antifreeze reguler . i have seen sveral heads aluminum toyota and datsun compleaty eaten up by electroliss thatthey would not seal anything. in one engine the crank and bearings were all destroyed from collent. you see the key word with the sander add save labor save time get more out faster.also says for use on aluminum.

my son spent all winter in a brand new 35 foot four seasons package pull trailer here in washington st said he burned 100 gallons of propane a month in the winter months.
-
all i do is boondock but i never go alone. aways with one or 2 outher outfits. i might go on ahead with others coming along on the same route . behind me. yes in one of our larger groups 3 rigs had flat tires.

i buy nothing from autozone . others can if they wish.

buy a brand new battery cleaning brush. they work well to clean rust dirt etc out of the bulb scokets. but make there is no power on .
-
yes you are very right there .that thing would be over kill in weight for shure . but is a nice unit . in my case he can carry it and i can carry a 100 foot cord LOL. and yes it is heavy need 2 men to mount and dismount.

my son has the big champion inverter type generater duel fuel . i think it is 5 ,ooo5 oo watts starting load . cost like 1,000 dollors new. resonably quit on moderate loads. this is on the back of a 35 foot pull trailer. he has 4 group 24 deep cycle batteries on the front . we went out this spring in the desert of eastern wash st .wind was 40 miles an hour very cold nights. after 3 nights the batteries were dead flat . he also has a full computer office in the back of it . this genny also has its own starting battery . great unit but big some what and a little heavy.run on propane is the way to go . no bad gas no carb gunk up.
-
and glad to still have you on here Linda. and yes i still have my dolphin and still camping on LOL .

my son has restored 2 small scamp pull trailers . this looks to have been a some what rare scamp minnie 5TH wheel. would be worth a lot more in its orignal form. pulled by a toyota pickup. then this mess.

i did not think you where a clutch abuser. sorry i live on the other si de of the us north west. yea i am shure i would find a different shop. i would be burned up with them no pun intended.
-
one thing that happened to me . this was on a datsen but could happen on a toyota . in my case the clutch fork was out of place on the pivet . and this job was done in a shop. so it did not release all the way. it worked for a while but started slipping. i was thinking i had a 1977 toyota with a stepped flywheel i know i do remember having one of that type machined and it gave me no trouble.and was not on a datsun.

did you resurface the flywhell. if anything is shaved off the center the rest of the surface has to be done to a spec to set the pressure plate down to its clerance spec. did you do the install yourself . one adjustment is under the dash on the pedal cleves. there is a locknut there pedal slack needs to be at spec .if you did the job did you use a pilot shaft dummy trans shaft to center the disc before tightning down the pressure plate. oil leaking out of the trans or rear main seal can soack the clutch. it will slip then.i hope you forgive me the clutch pedal is not a foot rest . that will for shure ruin a clutch. check both master clutch cylinder and slave for leakage.
