Another option is to use a Chevy 350 V8. I have seen this done with a few Toyota 4x4 pickups, there is a CA company that sells motor-mount and transmission adaptors. The Chevy 350 V8 looked like it was at home. One of the problems you are going to have with any V8 is the poor gas mileage, along with a gas tank that was too small for the original 4 cylinder engine. One probably would have to fill up with gas every 150 miles.

The Onan generators are not cheap compared to a larger Honda. Also, you will be losing some valuable storage space. I have seen a few setups where a Honda generator was placed a hitch carrier or back bumper, secured by a pad lock. The con is that it was not connected to the motorhome's gas tank and could not be remotely started. The pro was that it was 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the Onan, and it can be removed for other uses.

The fuel filter should be on the right side on the inside of the frame, just behind the passenger door. Be sure you use a torque wench when putting the new one on, I think it has to be very close to 14lbs, a little less and it will leak, too much will crush the gas line. You will need a claw foot wrench that fits to your torque wrench.

Hello All, I just purchased my first motorhome, a 1990 Toyota Odyssey 21 footer. The engine is a V6-3.0L. I received very little documentation on the motorhome, only a basic Toyota truck user manual. My first round of questions is: 1) what should the air pressure be in the tires? They are Goodyear Wrangler HT 185R/14. On the sidewall it state max. cold pressure is 55 pounds. I took a guess and decided on going with 49 pounds, which is 6 pounds under the max and my air gauge only goes up to 50 pounds, so I wanted to be sure I was not exceeding 55 pounds. 2) what should the lug nuts be torqued down to? I had to take a 24 inch breaker bar and a 23mm socket to get the lug nuts free, which was not an easy task. I was hoping they were over torqued, but I have no idea what the torque should be. 3) any place to get a service manual on the Odyssey part of the motorhome. Information on the refrig, stove, AC, furance, shower, holding tanks, etc. 4) regarding the transmission (automatic), it currently works well, but I fear it might have the original trans fuild in it and it has 87,000 miles on it. I was thinking that a total trans fuild flush would be in order (all 12 or so quarts), but my Toyota dealer informed me today that Toyota does not recommend a total Flush, but instead a pan drain and fill (about two quarts) and at 100,000 miles to have the pan removed in order to clean the built-in filter. Does this sound correct? Thanks all, I am sure I will have more questions, but in time hopefully I will be answering some of the questions on this forum. Thanks, Dennis...

Hello All, I just purchased my first motorhome, a 1991 Toyota Odessey, 21 or 22 foot, 6 Cylinder. It has 86,000 miles on it and appears to be in great mechical condition and the inside is in very good condition. Has there been any recalls or major issues with this model motorhome? Any rear axle problems? There was no owners manual, is there anyplace I can get a one? I mainly need one for the truck, but one for the body would also be great. Also, the past owner stated on this last (and only) major trip Indiana to California, he thought the engine was running a little hot (according to the heat guage) but it never over heated. The raditor has not been service for at least 5 years, so hopefully a good flush and fill will help this out. Thanks, Dennis...
