  1. Ya there's a switch for the water pump and converter right under the sink on the outside of the wood but there's a switch by the door but no clue what it goes too lol. Look's like the last owner had or tried hooking up an amp behind seat so I gotta rip out those wires and there's a large relay or box (?) in between the deep cycle and the firewall but good news is tomorrow I'll take pics of it all so that way it will give 100x more info so you can identify it lol but I just wanted to thank all of you guys b/c you have no idea how stressed was that I bought a Toyota frame lol
  2. ok you know when you feel like a dumbass I found the breaker box but automatically assumed that was for shore power or battery well right in front under the sink is a switch between battery or converter and a switch for the water pump so I hooked up the shore power and lights came on but I checked the battery and I have one car battery and one deep cycle but the deep cycle is fried (pulled it out and wont hold a charge) but the good news is it runs, no leaks and I paid $1k for it lol now I just gotta figure out if my motor has power steering (dont think so b/c its hard to turn at slow speeds and can't find where to put fluid for it lol) and undoing what the previous owner did and linking wires unneeded wires (linked the deep cycle directly to alot of unneeded stuff like a amp that's not there lol) I'm learning day by day by carefully trying not to fry myself or blow myself up lol for the gas I haven't used it really b/c I think I need to open the tank up first and then start using the gas but so far all the lights work on shore power and I think the heater comes on when I hook up shore power b/c there's a sound coming from the passenger/rear area where the heater is at. but there's three questions: is there anyway to repair a black water tank b/c whenever I use water, it leaks out the back and with it being 81 parts are no where. any suggestions are helpful. When I look at the motor it has the old carburetor with round filter the question is the air coming in from the side is there suppose to be a filter where it comes in too? Has any1 installed solar yet on their roof and if so how did you bolt it to the roof i.e. is there studs running length wise to bolt them to? (I plan to be off grid completely and rv full time) thank you all for all the great comments, maybe someday I'll show someone the way so they don't get the shock treatment I did lol
  3. I just got a 1981 Toyota Dolphin today and I wanted to know if the lights only work on shore power? I think I found the break box under the sink area? If it does only work on shore power how could I setup my own battery bank to be off-grid for longer periods of time? How do you start the refrigerator and the heater using gas? I would ask the previous owner but he wanted it gone that day b/c he was moving and sold it pennies on the dollar but signed the title over and he had to finish packing so I'm stuck here brand new to the whole r.v. idea and clueless like a hog in a corn farm lol so please help I want to hit the ground running so I can take my family camping soon lol
