  1. When you said you flush the tranny 3 times, does that mean you filled it up 3 times than drained it? I'm sorta confused. Or did u mean you changed it 3 times during your trip. I know it's a dumb question tho.
  2. I tried several places online nada guides . As it turns out my 1993 seabreeze is only worth $4700. Is that true that I have over paid my rv by double. I'm just trying to find out the fair market value of my toy. I'm thinking about selling it and up grade to 2003 Winnebago Rialta.
  3. I was wondering is there a check list when storing your toy for a few months? I'm planning on not using my toy til summer. Storing it in my back yard. My thought is to drain all my tanks. Then use jacks to lift my toys up cause my friend told me that the tires can go bad. I'm wondering if I should drain the engine oil too? Should I disconnect my solar panel? Any tip would greatly appreciated
  4. I simply asked how much gas it gonna be used as it idle for an hour. Have anyone even consider that not all of my things in my rv works. I already have things checked out in my rv. Gonna cost me an arm n leg to fix them. I'm just a simple person wanting to enjoy road trips. Don't need all that extra stuff. My frig ain't working so I got a ice chest. Stove don't work gonna use the microwave. No hot water so I'm gonna shower at a hotel. Gee. Tough crowd here .
  5. Why all these negative people up in here. Yes I own a toy. Just asking basic questions. I thought this forum is to help people out with their ownership of our toy. When I went to Las Vegas 3 weeks ago and ran the cab heater 2 hours straight while we slept. Low and behold we all are alive. Sorry that we all are not mechanically inclined to rocket scientists.
  6. I'm worry that I will run out of gas in the middle of the night. I'm gonna top off my tank tho.
  7. I'm running empty on all my water tanks. I do have a co monitor system. Can any answer my question about how much gas it's gonna suck up?
  8. I'm about to head up to mammoth lake tomo and was wondering how much gas would it be using when idling for an hour. I'm planning on using my cab heater for heat since I don't know how to use the propane. Also I bought 2 power inverters from Walmart trying to power my playstation 4. None has worked. I don't want to use the generator. Any help would be greatly appreciated
  9. Just read your blog and saw all your pics. You're so blessed. May Godspeed and post more pics please. Btw you're living my dream.
  10. I have been looking for the right glue to re seam my rig. I went to Walmart and bought a cox glue and it shit haven't dried for over a week now. Please point me in the right place to buy it. As it turns out I bought a concert glue paste
  11. Wow that's so expensive.... Btw the rear frame is totally gone. I was thinking if I could use my existing axle and rear frame. Tomo I'm gonna asking some low budget body shop to see if they can give me like a quote. I wonder if I can just use the 2013 engine. Even tho I have a v6 it's so under power. I can't image how the 4 banger would perform. We are still planning an epic 12000 miles tour this July to the flowing cities: Portland. Oregon 3 days Yellowstone 2 days Mt Rushmore 1 day Chicago 3 days Niagara falls 1 day New York 5 days Atlantic city 1 day Washington, D.C. I day Orlando 1 day Miami. 2 days Key west. 5 days New Orleans 2 days Houston tx. 1 day Flagstaff. 1 day
  12. I'm curious to know if it's possible to transfer my 1993 toy seabreeze on to a 2013 toyota Tacoma pick up truck? My neighbor son recently total his 2013 Tacoma pick up, it is heavenly damage in the rear. He said that he has the option to buy the salvage pick up truck for a reasonable price ($4500) than sell it to me for $5500. It's a v6 with only 21k miles. (Two door no cab) With that said, how much money would it take to transfer my seabreeze over, is it even possible? Down side it that I'm gonna have a salvage toy. But I'm willing to exchange that for comfort. Anyone?
  13. If your local u can pick up mine. We are getting rids of ours
  14. My wife don't want me to blow up the rv. On the fridge i turn it on. It lights up but don't get cold, how do I know if I need propane. Or keep the motor running. Have no clue where the pilot is at for the fridge. The seams on the driver side is spitting. Do I just buy glue at Home Depot ? How do you turn off the lights on the solar panel? It's always on. Bothers us at night trying to sleep I'm not really a hands on guy. Pretty much I can put gas and go. Funny story. We turn on the generator and didn't know how to turn it off. We let it ran out of gas. Finally figure out that you had to hold on to the stop button til the generator completely stop. It would be nice if some kind person can help me out.
  15. I'm wondering any fellow toy owner local to me and would be kind enough to show me how things work in my 1993 seabreeze. I tried searching how to turn things on but I can't get it to work. I'm willing to buy dinner Thanks in advance
  16. OMG took my toy to Vegas last weekend. The interior was so loud when we were on the freeway going 65 It's live everything rattle. I can even hear the wind blowing over the cabin. Not so aero dynamic. Things I'm consider getting rid of to reduce noise: All the blinds and replacing them with black out curtains My freaking screen door. That rattle like no tomo. Completely removing all four of the sky light except the one in the bath room. Maybe the roof top ac and replacing it with one of those portable ones where u just need an air vent to release the heat. Anyone two cent?
  17. My Vegas trip i average 12.5 mpg going 65-70 mph. Driving at a snail pace killed me. I once consider down grading to a 4 banger. No way. The v6 don't even have enough power to climb that hill before Vegas. I swear I was going 45 mph with the pedal to the metal. I was not fully loaded. About 500 pounds of human weight. Wife is sorta disappointed...
  18. Finally got my toy to pass smog $510 bucks later. Needed a new cat, o2 sense and timing done. With all that said and done I'm gonna hit the road this weekend to Vegas .
  19. I have a short circuit on my o2 sensor. The mechanic is having a very hard time finding the short. If anyone has a diagram please send it to me thanks.
  20. The owner changed his number, omg, he is located in San Diego. Seem like a very decent person. Moral of the story never trust anyone, I was so excited when I bought it. The interior is amazing, I forgot to ask about the smog, jump the gun and paid him $8500 cash drove it straight home. I guess after fixing all the issues, I'm hoping it won't cost more than $500. I will still be happy.
  21. I went to get my toy smog today only to find out that the emissions are way too high. The guy said it's running too rich and I will need some sensors co and maybe even a cat converter. My toy has only 72k very well maintained. Anyone know where I can get parts cheap. The oxygen sensor cost $110 and the cheapest cat I found is $230 plus labor. Btw the guy at the smog place totally rip me off. He said he knew it was gonna fail and tested me anyways just to make his $70 . I gotta pay another $70 to retest it. I hate dishonest mechanics. Then he wants $85 to run a diagnostic test. I know I need one but not from shady people like him. I'm located in the long beach ca area. Anyone knows a fair mechanic please let me know. Thanks
  22. Anyone know where I can boondock for 2 days in mammoth lakes? I was thinking about either the rite aid or Von's parking lot.
  23. I'm planning on reducing what ever weight I can. Also is it better to have a super light weigh trailer to carry our heavy loads, instead of packin it all in the mh . I wonder if that will increase our mpg ? I been reading a lot about the air tabs. Gonna try it and see for myself.
  24. I know this might be a dumb question. But has anyone ever converted their v6 to the bullet proof 4 banger? I recent bought a 1993 seabreeze and wife is pretty upset due to the fact that our rig gets no where near the 20mpg that people rave about. So here is food for thought, I found a 1988 toyota with only 43k miles, that has been total, was thinking about buying the engine and tranny for $800. Anyone know how much it's going to cost to do the transplant? Our plan it to travel 12000 miles this summer around the country and visit 25 major cities. Wife said it ain't gonna happen if I don't do something about the mpg. Just bought a load of air tabs hopefully that will help. So our goal is to get at lease 15-17 mpg driving 60mph. Is that realist?
