Hey all, I'm trying to replace my A/C compressor in my 1986 Mini-Cruiser. I ordered one from Autozone. They sent me Four Seasons 67303. It's totally different than what is in there. The one in there is a DKS 488-22022B. Does anyone know if the Four Seasons 58551 will work? It looks good but the high and low pressure lines are in the back? Can I swap them to the front? I'm being told this was a dealer add-on therefore Autozone has no idea?

I've had blowouts on the front tire and blowouts on a rear tire. I only carry a spare for the front tire, so If I have a blowout on the rear I have to limp the RV to a tire shop and have them swap the rims. It's usually a three hour ordeal. I believe 1986 Toyota trucks carried the spare under the truck with some kind of chain and pulley. Is that still there? If not, what do I need to do?

Hello all, 1986 22re Mini Cruiser here. I'm planning another 6,000 mile trip. I'd like to carry some hoses and belts with me. I have the belts but am confused on the hoses. The guy at Autozone told me "upper and lower radiator hoses PLUS the heater hose." When I search autozone it says radiator and heater hose are the same? Do I need two or three hoses?

Hello all, I had a blow out on my front tire. 🤢The tire that is on there is an LT 195/75R14. Every time I go to ANY tire shop and mention "LT" they look at me like I'm a martian. 😶"OH we don't cary LT tires." I have only found one on Amazon. Yokohama Y356 LT195/75R14 99 for $119.98 Should I get this one so I have two LT tires on the front? What about next time it happens and I'm on the road, what can I substitute it for?🤔 Last time I had to wait two days to have the (back) tires shipped because no one had "LT" tires. 😶 I've seen a lot of talk about "C-D. tires" Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm planning another long trip.

Hello all, I have a 1986 Mini Cruiser. I really want to upgrade my headlights. In there right now are H6054. Do I need the special harness? Do you have an Amazon link please?

Hello all My roof top AC is leaking water. It only leaks when it's hot outside in the daytime. It never leaks at night when temperatures fall to 75 outside. It's the original 1986 Coleman AC that came with the unit. Suggestions?

One of these pipes is leaking slowly. They run from the water heater and fresh water tank to the bathroom/kitchen. They are the old grey pipes (1986). These pipes are under the closet next to the water heater and shower basin. Can I put some sealant on the joints? Should I replace them?

Hi. My roof is leaking after a massive storm in Louisiana. The next day I went to HD and got Henry's Wet Patch roof repair. It stopped the leak but it's still soft and gooey. I read the manufacturer instructions and it says it never fully hardens. People have asked me what the roof is made of. I don't know. It's a 1986 Mini Cruiser. I think it's fiberglass over wood? What should I use to fix the leak or should I just be happy with the gooey Henry's?

Hey all, I'd like to start doing my own work on my RV. I'm tired of paying other people and waiting days/weeks/hours, etc. I figure having the manual is a good start. I have a 1986 22-Re, fuel injected. I assume the manual will cover many years? Does anyone have a digital version of that manual? I hate to waste paper (and money:) Thanks!

Do I winterize if I'm driving across the USA?

Thank you very helpful! I wouldn't have thought about that.
