    Toyin Vancouver Island 2012

    Wayne, this sounds like a blast! I'm kind of hoping we can narrow our dates down well before May. By then, we usually have our summer all mapped out. If we don't make campground reservations in Idaho well before then, we won't get what we want, and if we pay for camping reservations here at home, we won't want to sacrifice $$$ if the dates conflict. Anyone agree? I'm fine with August too, as the last folks said they preferred. :) Gail

    I posted this event on the Yahoo Toyota forum and I told them to log on to this website. Some folks have already said they'd like to come, but they just said that on the Yahoo forum and not here. Hopefully, they'll show up here to give their opinions on dates.

    GET YOUR PASSPORT! They're easy to get in the U.S.A. and way cheaper than in Canada. Also they don't need to be renewed as often. It's a bargain you won't regret!

    '93 Seabreeze "Toto"

    Shower

    Anyone have a source for fiberglass shower walls? We need to replace the walls and ceiling in our Seabreeze shower and would like to replace with fiberglass. The pan is fine. The wood under the wallpaper is rotten. That has to be replaced. It would be nice to find a one piece unit instead of separate sheets, but we're afraid that's probably what we're going to have to do. I do see fiberglass showers in mh's for sale on ebay. Ours does not have the toilet in it. Any ideas? Thanks. :rolleyes:

    propane smell, but no leak found!

    When we bought Toto, it had a bbq style turned horizontal, so we bought an official horizontal tank. Ironically, we didn't have any propane smell with the improper tank, but have it now with the right one. But we've soap checked all the fittings and they seem fine. We're going to check into this further as soon as we have time. We're thinking maybe the new tank has a bad weld so we're going to try and leak check the tank itself. That would suck! (They ain't cheap). :rolleyes:

    We have a strange propane smell also. We recently installed a new propane tank that lives under the bathroom closet. We've leak checked every fitting on the bottle but every time we open the closet door, it smells like propane. There's also a propane smell if you sit outside next to the tank cubby. We wondered whether they just vent a little or it's something serious. Any ideas for us? <_<

    Steering Relay Rod Recall

    I called the local Toyota dealership today and they said that recall doesn't effect us. We have a '93 Seabreeze. Glad to hear that. We also had a less than stellar experience with the local dealership when we had the head gasket recall done. They managed to slice into a brand new spark plug wire. left greasy handprints everywhere, and I don't how they did this, but knocked one of the cupholders out of its track on our center console. And left it lying there. Not a big deal, just sloppy. <_<

    10 Gal fuel tank in an 85 Dolphin ?

    We bought our '93 Seabreeze last Nov. in Las Vegas, and on the trip back home to Boise, Idaho (in the dark; in the desert) we had no idea how large the tank was but had a pretty good idea on what fuel burn was supposed to be. Since it was miles and miles between each gas oasis, we topped off whenever we found some. One thing we learned on this adventure (with mucho anxiety) was that when we climbed hills and the tank read less than half, it would start missing and gasping and running like crap. When we again topped it off, everything ran fine again and it would climb hills smoothly like a little goat. My husband is a mechanic and when we got home, he dropped the tank and found that the fuel pump lives in a little reservoir to keep it full of fuel regardless of slosh and hills. Apparently ours was full of crud and the little line that fills the reservoir when it gets below the lip was clogged. Since the pump was old, cruddy, and had been cavitated enough, we replaced that and cleaned the line to the reservoir. Problem solved. The morale of the story is that if you are going to pull the tank to replace the sending unit, you should change the pump and clean all that other stuff in there. That's our advice. :)

    We live in Boise Idaho and often take trips to Oregon. This last fall we purchased a '93 Seabreeze and we've been fixing it up all winter and are hot to trot to try it out. We'd be interested in some Toy-in's within a reasonable distance from us. :ThumbUp:

    V6 Engine Missing (No, not lost)

    Well it could be, but the cheap answer is a bad gas cap vent. Next time it starts missing just open the gas cap for a few seconds and keep driving and see if the miss clears up for a while.

    If it makes no diff then you are back to the fuel pump OR a bad fuel filter.

    Thanks for responding! Well, it has a new fuel filter, and we thought that if it was a bad gas cap vent we would hear a whooshing sound when we opened the gas cap. And it didn't. Is that what you mean? Thanks again. :)
