I did not see 4x4 hubWell I know it's a v6 and none of the factory built ones were 4x4's. Goes so quick do you see 4x4 hubs in the front? I can't tell. Looks like single wheels in the back too. Maybe a custom conversion.

your right about single wheel
still a cool looking rig

Front cab-over aerodynamics are my favorite!!

not sure where it is but will be enclosed in a box if in coach
or check outside compartment
if its in coach you should see a vent somewhere outside..

the picture you have of seam in your Long Beach post is not going to be fixed by just silicon alone
remember water travels you are going to have to find leak repair structure and then reseal with some good uv silicon I used 3M 5200 for my seams.
we need to see better pics of seam to help you out
like I mentioned on other post look under cab-over mattress and see if you see some rot/water damage check your walls so if they're soft near the bottom and ceiling and around windows..
you're going to have to very carefully take old seams off with out bending seams
you want to keep them original shape so it's easy re-install..
clean up all old silicon. scrape off then use a good cleaner to take off the rest
try home depot cleaners first..(I used gas but you need to be very careful)
use uv silicon and re-install seam.
You should also reseal the windows the same way remove scrape clean use uv silicon (not butyl tape)
when installing windows....
hope this helps

guy says starts but won't stay running
might be a good steal if you want to take a chance with fixing carb..
also was remote switch w/ harness that's a plus for the $$$
Im thinking of buying to fix and resale if I can see it run/stall in person....

here is one site
I just googled headliner kit
I made my beams 1.5" thick! I'm 5'6" and yes they protrude way further than the original. Any ideas on where to source some grey automotive ceiling fabric to cover over the beams?

rv salvage/junk yard craigslist...
the ebay ones look like a slam dunk.....

great job on remodel
you make it look easy

go to the beach I saw 2 Toyota rv & mine 3rd in one parking lot....
-
open fridge door look for model # google is your friend you should find a pdf manual for your fridge...
-
Your rv has to be level or fridge wont work...if owner before used fridge un-level then may not work anymore
hard to say without seeing RV in person.
solar panel you could pull the fuse last resort / should have some type of controls..You would turn off "load" if you find controls.
as far as outside seam that looks like some good water damage and needs to get repaired before its structure damage
look under your cab-over bed and see if you have water damage on bed frame or near front of cad and walls..
Once again I would walk you through everything if you could make it to San Diego its a good 1.5 hour drive but your questions would be answered and their enough spots near bye to camp to make a trip worth while
Look under rv you should be able to see propane tank also should be a small door labeled "propane"
most of them have a fuel gage...take to any gas station/propane fill up to get filled (I keep 4 gallons in and it will last me a couple of trips....

what do you need help with?
just tell us what you need help with and we could help you out...
Lights: turn on...work off of battery
Fridge: Rv has to be level front to back & left to right. Turn fridge knob to gas/electric.12volt. will take couple hours to get cold (I use electric when getting ready to camp/propane when camping)
Gas: make sure propane is turned on outside (lite stove with a match to make sure system has propane for about 30 seconds)
If you have a red & white push in knob on fridge push & hold white knob in and keep pushing in red knob until it ignites You can see the flame looking into glass/plastic right next to knobs
Electric: plug in your "shore power" to your house use adapter to plug into extension cord their 15amp/20amp....
12volt: will run on battery (I would only use propane/electric)
Heater: propane on lite stove to make sure system has propane (unless already done) turn on thermostat you should be getting hot air blowing out of heater..(if no hot air you will have to clean out heater vent)
Water Heater: propane on
fill a couple gallons of water into in fresh water holding tank (heater will hold 4 to 6 gallons)or water hose with a flow adapter hooked up to "city water line" usually in back of RV looks like a water hose connector...
inside rv you should have a switch to turn on water heater (mine looks like a light switch with a red led light.)
if using fresh water tank turn on water pump on your panel for water tanks/ if city water/hose no need for water pump...flip the water heater switch to on
go out side make sure water heater is running..you should have hot water in 10 min. or less..
AC: plug in shore power//turn on generator if you have one...turn on AC (will only run off electricity or generator)
Shower Sinks Toilet: have rv level
have water in fresh water tank (at least 5 to 6 gallons so theirs enough water for pump to work) or use "city water" with a hose flow adapter...
turn on water pump if using fresh water tank
turn on water faucet let run tell air is out of line and getting a good stream of water..
toilet should flush with water...
test shower and all faucets for leaks...
not all RV have the same layout but should be pretty close....
sometime you have to just play with everything to see how it works/
hope this helps a little..
if you can get down to San Diego I could walk you through everything....
good luck

I took my 21ft RV up a pretty Nasty dirt road and it bounced pretty good from front end to back end hitting my casters a couple of time..RV is pretty stiff end rear end
I'm not sure about this but wont the RV bounce more if you raise it up?
