We did ours in multicolor.

[Toilet upgrade]

In the 900 series Dolphin will this leave enough clearance for the closet door to open? Thanks!

Yes, we have the same one in our 900, I am going to be posting a complete remodel soon.

[1982 Dolphin Renovation W/ Pic]

Wow, that brings back some bad memories. I did this last year. had to replace all of the 1 x 2s and cover with new paneling. I don't remember where, but there is detailed instructions on this forum. It was a lot of work but now the RV is awesome. Keep working and you will love it.

[Gas Mileage Ideas For Toyota Motorhomes]

Hi Irving,

I did the same thing, with another type of fuel monitor, on a 1956 Chevy 2 ton! previous owner never got more than 14 mpg, I got 20 mpg. It was a fun thing to do but also saved a ton of gas, since we went from Canada down to Arizona and then pulled a 35 ft trailer back. Thanks for your link I will go to it in a minute and take a look.

On another topic and for all V6 equipped RVs, I would like to spread the word that Toyota has a secret warranty, to rebuild the V6 engines, due to a faulty head gasket. There are conditions, but to keep the story short, take your rig to a Toyota dealer, and ask if you qualify. My first Toy was exactly like yours and the engine blew when on holidays, 3400 dollars later, we were on our way, but while waiting for this rebuild, I found out about the warranty. Back home, we approached Toyota, showed them our invoice and they gave us a cheque. My second Toy (bought a few weeks ago) also qualified, they took it in and rebuilt it for us, no charge. So check it out before the heads let go.

By the way, I get the same mileage (approximately) as you do. One thing I don't understand is that this motor has an altilmeter sensor built into it, and the higher up in elevation, at some point the overdrive cuts out, and stay disconnected until you descend, you notice that.

So your telling me I can still get the headgasket replaced now? I bought a 1990 last year and would love to have that done. It runs kinda hot, so I'm worried. Who would I talk to at the dealer, go to the service dept, or the guys in the showroom. I didn't think they would honor it anymore, but looks like I'm gonna be headed to the dealership. Anything I should mention if they say they don't honor it anymore?
