    I am currently living in northern ca as well, It would be really helpful if you had received any more information on how to do the project yourself! I am currently missing all my major electrical components and my water pump/hose (which I have no idea how that is placed). Unfortunately, if anyone is out there with parts as well let me know! I have to get a new door and handles all around.

    See the problem I am having out here is being able to find the model 500 at any yards that's not completely torn apart, or anyone that can tell me about the specific model and the exact whereabouts of the hardware, the only advice I have been getting is, "To reach to experts/or forum based sites for the help". As of right now I am low on budget and need to touch up the major items as we get on the road!

    Woops didn't mean to add 2 cell phone problems! Anyways is your panel on the bottom like where it shows my cut wires and hoses? Also I'm guessing I need to attach a main 120 volt plug for when I am at a rv spot, also what size marine battery fits that small of spot? And I also have a bunch of wires hanging there for my connections to the battery

    I have no electrical panel at all, where would that be place if I was to look for it?

    I acquired the dolphin on lein sale so no luck gaining any knowledge of what the owner was previously working in (including a lot of unfinished re-wiring, missing hoses, and a multitude of other missing broken items, I have had a couple of people try and help me figure out some of the plumbing and electrical but they do not know to much about the older models of rvs so they told me I was for sure missing a couple of needed items they just didn't know where the appropriate place was since I am missing hoses and wiring from both sides of the rv

    I agree on supporting the local business over any conglomerate any day! Unfortunately can't always make that happen I will definitely give that tumbler and adhesive a try I'll work on getting that set up so you can see what me and my lady are going through! The overcab is mainly going to be for my gf art room work space

    Yeah that would be perfect! Much appreciated, also I have no idea what the initial 120 volt plug in for when you park at camping grounds is supposed to look like either

    It looks like you have the same model I do as well! I have a post on the general topic forum about missing pieces for my electrical and water pump you think you would be able to help me out with some pictures of where they are located? I am missing something where the cabinet is right next to the shower if you walk in on the left and the water hoses to connect to the fresh water tank I think I don't have at all

    What did you use for Styrofoam adhesive? And what type of wood did you use for the overcab? We are currently doing the same thing to our 87 dolphin but we raised the border about an inch along with thicker Styrofoam

    Looking good so far !

    Any idea what belongs here? http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/Seven_Kyle/20150712_033058_zpsat0izo9l.jpg

    I am still having trouble figuring out where my water pump goes, seeing as how I bought it missing and also another piece, some people saying an inverter, or something else I went to Camping World and they had no idea and were not very helpful at all, anyone know or have any pictures of the hosing and hookups for electrical and water for a 87 dolphin ( I think mine is the 500 series)

    Hey Kim I was wondering if you might be available this weekend or next weekend so me and my girlfriend could stop by and check out your stuff along with meeting a fellow motorhome enthusiast! Let me know best way to get in contact! Still trying figure out a couple things with the motorhome
  15. kolie711
    That would be awesome to check out your selection of stuff! I live in Concord! So the sunrader and the dolphin are pretty compatible?

    Hey guys have not been on in a while! Been busy trying to get the 87 Dolphin in shape, a lot more than I expected to be in for honestly! 1. Rebuilt Engine 2. Resealed all windows 3. Built Temporary internal frame to help roof sag 4. Mainly figuring out what I am missing and what else I need to get her ready for the road So that gets me to the point of all these wires that are cut and I have been looking through the forum hopefully searching for a post on these specific parts, but alas no luck! I am in northern California and could definitely use some parts if anyone has ANYTHING of use! I have a couple questions about what and where to find these missing parts Like the hosing where it looks like i should have water lines from the fresh water tank is cut off and than to where it seems like my Electrical inlet plug should be to where I go to an rv camp and plug in, that is all cut a long with the spot where I think I am supposed to have an "inverter"? and the hoses are all cut there to ANY IDEAS? I will get the pictures uploaded soon

    Very nice looks really efficient!

    Did you end up figuring out your electrical set up? I am curious on how the solar panels worked. I am currently in northern ca trying to do the same thing.

    I could not find a thread on this topic, but I have a dilemma I can figure out Trying to get my 22re running! first found that it had no compression, so I re did the piston rings,gaskets, and head, next realized not enough spark, so replaced with new distributor plugs and wires, still nothing. sounds like it wants to start but just constant turn over. Fuel is good spurts out nicely, checked the timing about 20 times, got it running one time! then radiator hose busted right over the alternator so had to shut it off quickly (unfortunately). replaced hose cleaned off alternator, I am getting fuel spark and compression and still doesn't want to run. I have tried starting it so many times i have had to replace the starter, but the thing that gets me is that i had it run for at least 2 minutes and now nothing! The odometer reads 47,000 on it and had been sitting for 2 years before i received it about a month ago. Fuses seem fine, almost like i am not getting enough power to get it turned over all the way. it ends up draining my battery Does anyone have any ideas that could possibly help or should i just invest in new motor? I feel like its something small i'm over looking Thank you!

    You're right about that! I am just too excited! ....one step at a time....!

    I plan on living in my 87 dolphin motorhome with me and my gf, I was wondering what is the most stable and reliable rear axle/ suspension i can get to guarantee stability with miles and lots of hills ( seeing as how i am in california and travel to my home town las vegas frequently and to utah for work, also would it be in my best interest to swap my 4 cylinder to the v6? or heavily modify my 4 cylinder?
