    side mirror brackets

    thanks, what about the brackets for the door though? any thoughts

    Search "Velvac Mirror Head" on eBay.....you'll probably want a pair of 6.5" x 6" mirrors for each side or, better yet, for a startling clear look at the road behind and to reduce your aerodynamic drag a bit, get a single 6" x 10" head (and stick on a convex spot mirror)

    New exhaust parts

    I need more than the muffler, i need all the pipes after that as well. I wanted to do it myself but if i cant find the parts then i will have to go to a local muffler guy and by that i mean not one of the national chains.

    Find a non-franchised muffler shop, theyt are usually less expensive and do good work. I just had a new muffler installed, $90.

    Hello, I have a 1986 Toyota Dolphin and it needs to have the exhaust pipes replaced. I went to my local NAPA and they looked at me like I had 6 heads when I told them what it was for. Any ideas on where to get the pipes for this? Thanks

    Hello, I am trying to find an isolator for my 86 dolphin and I cant locate one anywhere. Where is the best place to buy parts for my dolphin? Thanks for the help.

    sorry its been a while, i put the dolphin under a tarp waiting for warmer weather to play with it again. The isolator does look like a can with a positve and neg on either side of it.

    Are the inline fuses good? Surely they would be blown if you were drawing that much current. If one is blown you know that is where your problem is. You can find out which one is coming from the isolator by disconnecting both and turning the engine on then check both and find out which one has power the other one will be the coach power wire ie. the one that feeds the light etc. If your battery is not marked + - (just about all are) the + post is all ways the bigger one if they are backwards it will act as a short. What type of isolator do you have? Is it a small can with 2 big terminals or a block with cooling fins on it? An other thought it is possible to charge a battery backwards if they are pretty dead. If you have a volt meter place the red lead on the + post and the other on the - post if your meter is digital there will be a - sign on the display if it's backwards.

    Hi Jon,

    I replaced every wire to and from the coach battery, to the isolator and to the truck battery, still clicking. I believe the isolator is bad. now the issue is where do i get one? Any ideas?

    If the Coach battery breaker is tripping and reseting, there is something wrong with the coach battery circuit.

    ALSO - If the coach breaker clicking also coincides with the headlights dimming, this is a sign of a problem.

    You said the problem (clicking) goes away when the coach battery is disconnected AND the truck is running.

    with the truck running and the coach battery disconnected, do the interior coach lights work?

    If so, this tells me that the Isolator is functioning properly and supplying 12 volts to the coach when the truck is running.

    ALSO - This also tells me that there is something wrong with the connections to the coach battery, i.e. backwards, -wrong connections, etc.

    it must be the 12v resetting breaker you describe it is in the exact same spot. the battery in the coach is new and the starting battery was there when i got the rv, so age is anybody's guess. will getting a new battery for the truck help?

    does the positive lead off the rv battery go right to the black thing and it is in the rv batt box as far as i know and my dolphin diagram and my dophin has a 12volt auto reseating curcuit breaker inside the top right corner if that is snaping there can be a problem short or overload a short can and will drane a battery how old is the starting battery you should have somonecheck that and the charging output dimming lights when turning on more load is usally a sighn of a problem i have had a car do that the battery was bad shorted in two cells

    Hey Waiter,

    Thanks again for all the help. I think I isolated the click reset noise. It is coming from inside the coach battery well. There is a small black box with two cables coming out of it that connect to the battery itself. The issue is what is that black box called?

    I disconnected the battery and the noise went away. Got a new battery hooked it up and the noise from that black box is back. I am confused at what it could be.
