Thinking of producing a few Sunraders? http://www.cstsales....rglass_mold.pdf http://www.garbled.n...fiberglass.html

No matter how 'big' those scooter sellers say their tires are, I just can't imagine one of them hitting one of our World Class potholes without launching me over the handlebars. Plus I don't know if you can legally ride them on the road here.

On sale where?

I deny that categorically. (In case Homeland Security is reading.) I don't want to be on anyone's list.

And your valve clearances?

That's why you attach the cap to the bumper with a lanyard.

'91-'93 Seabreeze and Dolphin both use the same unique molded plastic side skirts and rear bumper.

I'd offer up my corner pieces but shipping across the border would be a PITA & expensive. Do you think you've be able to mold them with the right texture? My only experience with plugs/molds have been smooth (kayaks).

The Dolphin 800 has the fridge between the passenger seat and the door.

That's the Dolphin lineup as of 3-83.

The $4650 Dolphin is a Model 500.

Can't agree with that. I've 2 parked here now. '91 Seabreeze with a 4.10:1 (G294) and a '93 Warrior with a 4.30:1 (G284). Both automatics. I think it must have been a question of which box the purchasing manager ticked when ordering. Most of the G284s I've seen have been under Warriors. I came across another brand (don't remember what) for sale recently that also had a G284. There also appears to be some difference between axles over the years. I believe '86 had a difference in the wheel studs (no biggie) that only work with 6 hand hole wheels. If you look up dually axles on www.car-part.com for '87, posted results are '86, '87 & '88. Look for a '93, and all results are for '89 - '93. Edit: I think the difference is that the earlier 22-RE axles are 2 pinion, the later 3VZ-E axles are 4 pinion (stronger). Maybe other differences.

Have you looked on the net to see if you can find the 'Installation Instructions' for your model fridge? Might provide some clues.

Sounds like it's time for you to convert your Sunrader to a solid axle 4x4. Or add pontoons.

Just don't get too carried away!

Always interested in the experiences of others! BTW, this is my 'Molly the Mini'.

I love spending other people's money (now that mine's all gone).

I didn't think this appropriate for the 'Improvements' Section. "When I bought the motorhome, the previous owners had not maintained the roof and it was leaking. I hired a carpenter to replace the roof on the motorhome, but learned after the fact that he really wasn't qualified to do this type of work. The roof was built using 2x6's all around the top of the motorhome and using several pieces of corrugated steel for the roof. It is very sturdy and you could work with it, though it is not currently watertight.

Nope, haven't tried it. Just seemed like a good deal with a decent sized display. I don't want to be reaching for my reading glasses every time I want to see behind me.

I didn't think I was 'quoting' anyone.

I don't have either, but I've read several others comment that the 5-speed isn't as strong as the 4-speed.

I'm not sure what a Firestone 440 is. Not a model I'm familiar with. In the 'fine print' molded on the tire it'll indicate a maximum Load Carrying Capacity and Maximum Pressure. Load Range C is 1600lbs @ 50psi, Load Range D is 1875lb @ 65psi.

There are several sources that sell genuine Toyota parts for 25%-28% off. This is one:- http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/ If I could get OEM for near to Aftermarket prices, I'd go OEM.
