Hi, centraman, this is Sherrie in Las Vegas. I purchased a 90 Toy Warrior in June 2015. I had a overheating problem, now fixed. Posted on this site the whole ordeal. I installed the brass CSF 3 row. I think this is the best option and would not replace it - unless you know the radiator is not functioning. I had a lot of trouble using mechanics that did not understand the unique issues of a Toyota Motorhome vs Toyota Truck. I would recommend trying to find a mechanic on the west coast that understands the Toyota Motorhome and speak/visit them. I received a lot of wrong information from mechanics here, even the dealership - because they did not understand the unique issues of a Toyota Motorhome. By the way if you locate one - let me know.

Thanksgiving Camping At Lake Mead 4X4 Recommended But We Did It!
sherrie replied to sherrie's topic in Trip Reports
Lake Mead is very low - but still a huge body of water! If the lake were full, we would be under 20 to 30 feet of water at our campsite. There are plans to raise the water level. Would not recommend June at Lake Mead with-out using AC, It would be deadly hot. -

Sorry for the loss, we also were wondering in regards to this issue. We only have liability - so if it gets damaged there is no insurance to cover it. I wonder if there is a policy that would cover it as an RV? At 25 years old I doubt any insurance would see its true value.

As you may have noticed we have significant de-lamination on the sides of the Motor-home. Since our motor-home has lived its whole life in Las Vegas I believe it's due to the excessive hot temperatures. I have been experimenting with Gorilla Glue with some positive results. I find the applying pressure while curing to be the biggest problem.

Turn Off Propane Flame For Fridge When Filling Gas Tank?
sherrie replied to candace's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues
We always leave it on, even though there is a little sign by the gas tank that says we should turn it off. I would be interested as to what our Forum Gurus have to offer on the topic! -
Hi to all! The weather was so nice last weekend November 6th through the 8th we decided to go to Lake Mead. It was beautiful and only 1 hour from our door to the lake! We were so warm during the day we put our shorts on. Maybe go back at Thanksgiving it was so nice. So here is a link to the slide show. https://youtu.be/I7AyCMzJBzA

Not sure what the ASME vs DOT, but Linda is correct again, they say no Certification needed and I get it refilled no problem.

Camping In Nevada When The Gas Stations Are Few And Far Between
sherrie replied to sherrie's topic in Trip Reports
I will always travel with a full gas can from now on. I put 13.9 gallons of gas in at the last white knuckle fill up. We left a day early from some awesome fishing so we could caravan to the gas station with the rest of our group that was leaving a day before we had to. -
Hi I have a 1991 Winnebago Warrior , model WT320RB. It has a Brunner Propane tank, it is horizontal with the valve in the middle. I took it to a Propane Provider to have it checked out. They just put soapy water on the connections on the tank and said it was good! No certification needed. Oh they also had a manual gauge that worked to replace the broken one, It does not have the wire to connect to the panel inside- but seems to work good. One day when I was cleaning out the refrigerator compartment I found a gauge in there. It was so covered in dirt I did not know it was a gauge. After reading the Winnebago Manual I found out it is a gauge to test for propane leak in the Propane Lines. So I did the check and found 2 leaks! one at the Refrigerator and one at the Water Heater. Now I check the line after each fill and before I go on a trip. We always use the Propane for the Refrigerator and leave it on while driving. I feel very lucky that we did not explode!

Camping In Nevada When The Gas Stations Are Few And Far Between
sherrie replied to sherrie's topic in Trip Reports
If I have a 17 gallon tank I would be really surprised. If I do - I have a bad gas gauge. We carry 5 gallons for our generator, but have already talked about adding another 5 gallons. I think the biggest problem was not understanding how much the wind effected our gas mileage. -
For those who are interested here is a Youtube, of our First real camping trip after solving the overheating problem. Now how to solve the small gas tank problem. Here in Nevada there are lots of cool areas to explore but not necessarily gas stations within the tank range! https://youtu.be/xMDFBENEtmo

A Brand New Toyota Rv Owner And I'm So Ignorant
sherrie replied to lterry's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues
Hi Iterry,Welcome from another newbie, I bought my 1990 Toyota V6 3.0 Winnebago in June this year. I also knew nothing. I found a RV Repair person on Craigs list to come out and go through all the appliances in the coach. It cost $50.00 but he showed me everything and inspected what he could and had lots of info. Nothing beats a hands on lesson for lighting propane water heaters etc. -
I think I will pass on the more experiments and just do the 15% coolant. First I will leave the WW in for at least 1000 miles - I need a break from the overheating issue. I also hope the WW with the distilled water may loosen any blocks that might exist in the coolant passages in the block. Thank you for all the support in this issue. I will keep every one posted on what happens.

I hope that if this is the case (clogged due to sealer additive) that the multiple flushing and the use of the wetter water has dissolved it. We have also had a Block Cleaner used when we took it in to have the Toyota thermostat installed. I think I will put a thousand or so miles on it with the distilled water and wetter water, Then Flush, Flush, Flush - I will Flush with hot water. Then I will try distilled water, wetter water and 20% coolant. I will let everyone know what happens.
