Lean can be bad spring . bad wood look under it broke springs etc etc.

SOMETIMES you can you can use the orginal tracks they just bolt on the bottom of the seats those early ones can be taken off the tracks and switched right to left . i had a 1978 Pickup the right seat was like new. driver seat not quit as good. took them off the tracks and switched right too left what a differance . but in the truck wife did not ride much any way . those early seats are in deed Primitive no tilt or anything.

REMBER mold like that in buildings is a very serous health hazerd. And bad 5 lug axles can also shorten your life .too bad mold city should donate its axle to the Beuty Queen and make one good one and the rest of the moldy one go too the big resting place.

Avery likly possabllty is that the wind shild is leaking down under the dash. check under the dash. also the cowul vents in front of the wind shield have drains in the fire wall dont rember if you acess those from the end plates on the firewall under the hood wiper link doors but they can plug maybe someone knows more call .

too light the pilot you should have aSaft ey button y ou hold in while lighting the pilot until the pilot stays lit when not lit no gas should come out at all saftey design.
-
i have been gased before with carbon monoxide at work from rusted out and cracked heaters. are you smelling raw propane i have a 1978 standing pilot. the gas valve shuts off the gas with pilot off you should not smell any gas could be a bad gas valve . but sorry to say those furnece are way too old. gas heaters are aways prone too rust through or cracking open they can and will kill you we worked in a large factory and we were very sick get a monoxide alarm. I do not exp there are even any parts for one that old. i was going to put in a new one bought a newer moterhome instead.I I know of no reson too smell burned propane unless you have holes in the firebox if that is the case it could kill you.
-
I thought about that too but i did not know if that was ever done. i do have factory wireing digram on the tail and runing lights the orginal books from national rv who made the Dolphin and seabreze. wiring charts on the camper part .i am missing the Chassis manuel. But ext thankfull to have what i got almost never do you get the books . As in the case of no digrams some of the moterhomes we dont even know who made them or where Four minimax known to ext maker unknown place same.

Toyota should be a fuse bloc under the left side of the dash oem ran the truck lights should still run camper running lights . worst case by pass and run new wire but make shure you have a fuse on it. can you see any wires in side in cabnets etc do rest of running lights work . if you have side lights that work and front dont maybe run new wire off them. i had a short inside my 78 lost three lights one side fuses all ok found nothing ever cut off dead head it run all new wire too it . A big thing can be the grounding use a meter i use a five dollor test light the most clip on one end sharp point kind ext. usfull tool, let us know

-
they vary in size remove it and mesure the space if you google norcold or dometic the two companys that make them they have charts based on the size of opening. my 78 takes the very smallest my 1987 double that . if you know what you found model no or. make. loo up the replacement charts on line i took a old dead brand . replaced with 3 way norcold. the charts tell what replaces what. and all the old dead brands only two companys now you may have a little fit work. sorry mine not at house eather.

Bob C if you live in the west coast states i just bought some of those les Schwab thunderer road rangers. rated 8 ply rated LT truck. another good large company east and west is Big O Tires. Yes running car tires is dangerous . in time the side walls can breack down and result in a blowout. Sorry i forgot you are north east coast. maybe big O is there. In the west we have 480 Schwabs if i have a problem can get took care easy
