It needs the axle replacing.

There are many that aren't aluminum framed. Wood instead, so you can probably imaging what you'd be dealing with if you only had mush to guide you!

Just checking. You're one of the lucky ones when it comes to rebuilding a rotten 'home'.

Have you been finding aluminum framing?

This is the wiring as used by Winnebago:-

These are the only wiring diagrams I've got for the Dolphin. I'm always suspicious of where the motorhome manufacturers extended from the Toyota Factory harness.

Ya ain't gonna see much from those mirrors!

I'm still going to guess that it's under the couch or wardrobe, not far from where your shore line is located.

It should be located in your converter, which is usually down at floor level. Maybe behind a panel inside? What layout do you have? Knowing this might help another Dolphin owner give you an exact location. In later (90s), the converter is under the couch near the sink.

And the 185R14 are cheaper than the 195/75R14. At least at Tirerack.com.

I agree that the extra load capacity of 195R14 isn't needed.

I'm not sure who prefers a 195/75R14. I'd never hear of Otani before. Newcomers to making radial tires in Thailand. They make no mention of the 'MK1000' on their website, so no further information available. https://otanityre.eu/history/

Good luck finding a FF 6-lug axle in Canada. Especially locally. The only source is the 1986+ Toyota C&C. As far as I know, the C&C was never sold in Canada. If they were, they're extremely rare. There was never (as far as I know) a Canadian Recall of the 5-lug axles. Of course, that doesn't make them safe! I checked Car-part.com for Canada. None listed anywhere this side of the border. There was recently a guy in Quebec who drove all the way to West Virginia (IIRC) just to get one. The closest listed to Winnipeg is 741 miles away.

Thanks. List updated.

The circuit breaker will be marked with it's rating (Amps). This one happens to be 20A.

Yes, those are 'circuit breakers. Like fuses, they are sized (# of Amps) to protect the wires are installed in. If too many amps pass through a wire for its diameter, the wire will heat up and could cause a fire. Like fuses, do not be tempted to install a higher rated circuit breaker to 'solve' a problem. Before embarking on an electrical 'journey', I suggest you buy a cheap 'compass' (multimeter aka VOM) and I've attached 'maps' (wiring diagrams) for the Dolphin. The diagrams aren't the easiest to read but the best I've found online.

Well, 3501kg is 7720lb. I suppose you could load it with lead (or gold) bars and get it to weight that much. HOWEVER, the Official 'Gross Vehicle Weight Rating' (GVWR) for Toyota motorhomes was never over 6000lb (2721kg). Your 1986 might only be 5500lb (2495kg).

No, that's the 1-Ton Truck/Hilux. AFAIK, Stouts weren't imported to the US after 1968 when the Truck/Hilux was introduced.

Doesn't matter. You still can't have their stuff. Well not for 25 years anyway!

Even plumbing problems can sometimes be solved with a cheap multimeter.

These ones from Rockauto certainly fit the description. Centric show rather different looking pads for the 1-Ton and 1/2-Ton brakes.

Another listing they might have in their computer would be a Toyota 1-Ton Truck with single rear wheels (SRW).

... is the Wingle motorhome built on the Great Wall Truck chassis. And the 'Lanzhong Fengjun LiveZone C7' also on a Great Wall chassis. Both are roomier than a Hong Kong apartment.

If you mean this kind of Dolphin '3150', I'm afraid I can't offer any help.
