I remember seeing some steel wool stuffed in a couplea places in our new,( to us) 91 Dolphin, But the only one I can remember now is behind the outside cover for the water heater. To the left of the drain is a pipe with steel wool around where it enters the coach.

I went into the park to look at Toy RV's and saw a Dolphin with WOOSUNG tires that looked good, so I wrote down all the info: 195R14 8PR, 106/104R, Radial SV-280, 2085 lbs. @ 65 psi... searching on the web I think that they are made by Nexen, who seems to sell their tires under several names. At Tire Buyer.com, http://www.tirebuyer.com/tb_pages/products/tires/nexen/sv820.html , I see a 10558NXK, 195R14, R speed rating, ISO rating 104R, 2094lbs. @ 65 psi. It seems to be the current Nexen version of this tire. I was wondering if this would be a good tire for our 91 Dolphin??? With this lbs rating could I run less tire pressure for a smoother ride, or same pressure and a higher sartey margin?? Was this tire in the load & inflation tables you have?? Anyone have Nexen tires on your Toy?? You can see what they look like at, http://www.ratwell.com/technical/TirePhotos.html, under the names Jupiter SV-820, Woosung SV-820, and Signet SV-820, which all look the same to me. I want safety first both in load and traction, but for a few dollars more can get both and smoother ride, maybe not enough lower pressure to make much difference in ride, but I like to run higher ratings in tires on all my other cars & trucks and not many choices in this tire size. Another way to improve ride is lower unsprung weight, but not many choices for lighter wheels either?? Now to go and take that suddenly buzzing power supply apart Vanman

We just got a 91 Dolphin and I found on the floor to the left of the hot water heater 2 small plastic things sticking up, the top of which is a square loop that moves up & down. One is attatched to the cold water line and is L shaped , the bottom of the L is a small plastic line that goes down into the floor. The other one is sticking up out of the floor and I can only see the top. I am guessing these are perhaps a drain of some sort for the lines??? If so where do they go??? On another note, the cold water line that passes thru this area and under the fitting that goes into the bottom of the hot water heater has been rubbing against the fitting and is worn almost completely thru !!! I'm not sure how thick this line is, but the checkmark shaped divot looks really deep to me. I am thinking some epoxy and plumbers tape will take care of this as 40# pressure is the max anyway. Sure am glad I bought that regulator before I hooked up the garden hose!! 85,500 miles on the rig. I have checked every inch of the water lines I can see and no other problems seen. Vanman

We just got a 91 Toy Dolphin V6 model 400 22' with I think the 1 ton dual floating rear axel. I am getting stuff for camping and got a 5 lb.der at Costco it's maybe too big and heavy?? What size do you use, Maybe 2 smaller ones..
