Well you have a V6 and I'm sure it would make it. Some tight turns but I saw work trucks on the road as long as a Toyota motorhome. RV's up to 25 feet are allowed. The only place I had a problem was the hill coming out of Mono Hot springs. The 4 cylinder just didn't have enough power. Go for it. Spectacular place. Your son will never forget it

Thanks for the quick reply. I hope to make a trip up there after I finish my rehab on the camper.

I can't imagine how you got around the many hairpin turns. Hill I'm talking about is right after you leave Mono Hot Springs to go back to the real world. Your Dolphin would probably do better cause it has a v6. I plan on going back in my Nissan cause it is a v6 too. Yes one of the nicest places I have been. Fishing at Edison lake is awesome too.

Sorry for raising this thread from the dead. I have been trying to figure out if I can drive my 92 Dolphin up to Lake Edison. I love, love, love it up there and need to take my son (who is 10) to the places my Dad took me. I've driven the road in a pickup, and 2 different SUVS, and it seems doable provided you drive slowly.
Thoughts??

It needs exposure to the internet gods of ToyHomes for prayer and healing. Post photos!!!!

My whole rebuild is centering on the ability to use mine!!

I picked up one of these for my 30' travel trailer. It's worked flawlessly. It's going to be way more than I need for the ToyHome.

I'm in the same boat. 1992 Dolphin here which I purchased in December. It came with almost nothing for the appliances, equipment, etc. I did find a reprinted owner's manual for the chassis online on eBay. It's just the basic stuff for the truck. It was $40, and probably something I really didn't need, but a car without an owner's manual is strange to me.
I found the manual here:
Do be sure to check the year of the chassis vs. the model year of the camper. Mine is a "1992" camper, but on a 1991 chassis.
As for appliances and other gadgets, you're best off going online and searching each component out separately to find what you're looking for.
Good luck!

I was able to find the square lens on Amazon:

I have not been able to find the complete assembly anywhere. The wiring in mine has been exposed to the elements for too long, so I'll be rebuilding the light socket, switch, and wire. For now, it looks nice - it just doesn't work.

Gracias senor! Good pics too.

Able...tanks dont AGE out..... if not rusted bad, they can be checked and recertified....my tank is 26 years old. Had some light rust on it so I sanded and painted it.
What was the re certification cost?

Seems to me that if someone wants to install a gauge - the same person will likely know WHY the gauge is wanted. To tell you how hot the trans gets? Or maybe to tell you how effective an added cooler is? Different desires require different installations. I put mine before the cooler. I want to know the max temp my trans and oil is getting since that is what can damage a transmission. Having a gauge hooked after the cooler and telling me how much cooler the oil is beyond the trans - is kind of like closing the barn door after the horse got out. My trans in my 1988 Minicruiser has oil that runs the same temp as my engine coolant unless a long hard hill climb is done. Then the trans oil will spike up an extra 30-40 degrees - and once on top of the hill - come right back down to engine coolant temp again.
Did you put a "T" in before the cooler for the gauge? Everything I've seen about trans temp is that the sensor should go in a transmission check port, but my '91 v6 doesn't seem to have one. I've seen people suggest the pan, but that would require drilling a hole in the pan, would it not?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Toy world. That is what I want to hear from the mechanic when I buy something. Jim
Me too. I was able to clean my phone with my tears of joy,

Hi Everyone!
Long time lurker here, signed up in August, and just purchased my new-to-me 1992 Dolphin. We found the unit for sale up in Santa Cruz and flew up there on my freebie Southwest Airlines points. We ended up liking the rig and spent the next 2 days slowly cruising down Highway 1 back to Oceanside, CA. The Toyota run flawlessly. When I got it to my mechanic, he was impressed with how well the vehicle had been maintained by the prior owner. I am stoked on this camper and ready to start personalizing it!
Thanks to all of you. You have no idea how much your posts helped!!

What's the best way to install a tranny temp sender and gauge on the V6 models (A340E, I think)?
Bung on the pan? Some port on tranny? T-fitting on fluid line?
Did you ever figure that one out? Curious too.

Those construction generators are cheap and some are marketed for RV use. It's shameful that the manufacturers do that, especially considering that they are no where near acceptable for the max decibel levels at nearly every Federal, State, or local park/campground.
