This guys rig was stolen on 10-15-2016 from Venice Beach while he was surfing. If anyone in the area sees it let the police know. https://www.youtube.com/corythemoodytraveler https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008802198651&fref=ts&hc_location=ufi

That PDF says special service campaign is a head gasket replacement regardless of leaks. Sounds like a head gasket recall to me.

There was a recall on those engines someone in the Facebook group had Toyota honor it I don't know specifics but check on that they have to take the head off and if it's valves you'd get a cheaper valve job or maybe free..

So at 55 psi the weight limit is about 6000# on a dually setup at 65 psi it's 7100#.

Does yours have aluminum front and rear panels or are they fiberglass? What can I use for the aluminum?

I don't know about your tires but mine say maximum weight 1784 a piece at 65 PSI in a dually configuration.

I have no idea about the toilet but I'm guessing it's underneath somehow... As far as the couch goes I have an 86 New World and on mine I had to fold it out pull back the upholstery and there were screws in between the back and seat on the sides.

Does the bar keeper TSP bleach Zep combo work on the fiberglass that has a rough look to it not a clear shine like the sunraders?

Did you RV there? And if so was boondocking possible? I'm going down there in a couple weeks and would like to camp free if possible.

Found some stuff that claims excess of 19 hours between charges but the battery bank needed for that would certainly not fit in a Toy Home. Also designed for Semi cabs which are small in comparison to even the smallest RV's. Sure would be nice though to have something like this with solar panels on the roof and about a dozen batteries you'd be set.

I'm saying you can buy the new leafs and 2 add a leaf packs to get a brand new setup.

They even sell add a leaf kits at the same site as the leaf kit.

Yes I'm just showing because they added 2 leafs on each side which can be done.

Here is what I bought for a generator. I'm in the process of mounting it in the compartment right now. I know it's not "designed" for that however I've modified it. I'll take some pictures tomorrow. Basically I took some roof flashing for a chimney cut it to fit over the exhaust exit (air flows over mufflers and exhaust comes out). Bought 2 feet of 1 inch flexible exhaust tubing at a local engine shop. Bought some longer screws used aluminum tape since the gasket they made for the vent cover doesn't seal tight with the exhaust chamber that air flows through. Took a piece of 3/8 foil foam insulation as a gasket between the vent cover and roof flashing. Cut a hole in the side of my generator compartment. On the intake side I drilled a bunch of holes and mounted a PC fan which is on a switch allowing me to keep it on after the generator is shutdown to vent the remaining heat. I then bought a 1.5 inch rubber pvc pipe cover put a 1/4 elbow and 1/4 -5/16 line fitting which will run back to a 5 gallon can of gas. The vacuum created by the sucking of fuel causes more fuel to be drawn in making it run longer and don't have to take it out to refuel. I have not run it on a day over 80's yet but it had no issue running my roof Colemen Mach one A/C and fridge at the same time. Inverter and A/C trips the breaker on A/C cycle. My A/C has 3 caps in it not sure what they are all for but hard start is defiantly one of them maybe they all are? http://apelectric.com/all-generators/portable-generators-800-17-500w/westinghouse-portable-generators/westinghouse-explorer-series-wh2400i-2400w-digital-inverter-generator/

Was $900 just the parts or the parts and labor?

Like I said do whatever you want but to me having a higher weight limit is greater piece of mind. I still believe that mine came with 185/14c from the factory unless they put one for a spare as an oddball for some reason. It was 30 years old made in Japan same as my Toyota. It looked as old as well. In my opinion the one thing you want to get right is tires. And the original problem was blow outs. Don't care what anyone claims my passenger tires were touching at one point be it before I bought the camper or while I drove with them on. The writing of one was imprinted on the other. If I still had them I'd show a picture of it. So does it hurt to get stronger tires nope could it hurt to get the passenger tires possibly. To me that is all the evidence one needs. But to each their own.

Dually tires reduces weight load. Tires don't have full load rate. Again why even chance it? Maybe it's working fine for. You but I'd rather be way over weight load then close to it. Your limit in the back is about 4800 not 5200.

Also the passenger tires I bought have no dually rating on them meaning they were never intended a dually setup.

I edited it but not fast enough ha. I ment the 185/14. They weigh 4k dry add full tanks kitchen stuff and your pushing the limit of those tires. Chinooks have far less frame and wall to carry around. Smaller amenities etc. I don't see the point in being cheap about tires they are all that's between you and the road. Bigger homes need the tougher tires.

That's on a Chinook though not as heavy as newer toy homes. The back 195/75/14 tires I replaced on my 86 New World had certainly been touching. The writing from one tire was imprinted on the other. Newer homes should have the 185/14 tires no question in my mind.

Here is a video of a guy that redid one of these has a nice bed setup for the space. This video was what got me interested in Toy homes. Sadly he hit a dear with it and it messed it up pretty bad. As for fridge I'd defiantly get a propane fridge as I don't think you have an inverter for 110.

The Schrader valve you hooked to the dual tire chuck.
