My Toyota Motorhome

  1. Hey forum friends! Just got myself a 1980 Dolphin with the dually and tag axle, with 84,000 miles. I'm very excited, as it's my first Toyota Motorhome, and my second Toyota truck (I have a 94 pickup with the 22re, which I just rebuilt). I have some questions that maybe y'all could help me out with. First, this appears to be one with a recall axle (has the 5 lug extra deep rim with two wheels on it). I'm assuming I should replace it. Any advice on how to go about either replacing or getting it replaced? Do both the dually and the tag axle need to be replaced, or just the dually? Does National RV still honor the recall? If not I would do it myself, but I'd need to know what axles would work for a replacement. I've heard that axles from the v6 4runner work, is that true? Second, the roof is in need of repair, specifically in the back corner by the kitchen. At one point someone scabbed some boards up and replaced the ceiling panels with some white plastic/fiberglass sheet material. It's alright, but the sheets have started to bubble a bit with time. I'd rather see some nicer paneling. I was thinking I might redo the whole roof by peeling back the tin and reframing it, as I've done it before on a 77 dodge honey motorhome. It was a big project, and a learning experience, lol, but in the end I was so happy to have done it the right way! So my question is, has anyone taken this on in a dolphin? Any advice? Looks like I'd have to peel the tin back from the middle of the cabover window to the back of the back window. Looks like the OEM materials used are not much, 1x2" for framing and 1/8"-1/4" ply for sheathing, not much eh? Are you even supposed to store anything on top ever? They have the rails but I'm skeptical... Last question, anyone know where to source other parts? Specifically I'm looking for the outside vent door for the fridge. I'll put up some pics later when I get a chance. It's already a great rig, all the systems work and run great, a little wear on the upholstery, 20r runs great, but I'd like to do a nice restore and have everything excellent. Any help is appreciated! Thank you Steven
  2. Hey guys if this has been covered already then i will delete this thread. I tried searching the forum for the past 45 minutes and could only find the Chinook owners manual. I'm wondering if anyone has links for the factory service manual or shop manuals for the 20R engine / hi-lux pickup 1969 - 1978 I meant to order one online but never got around to it and i would like to rebuild the carburetor today and not wait a week for the book to arrive. If anyone has a source or links maybe we could use this thread as a resource for manuals etc. (if there isn't already one?)
  3. My apartment complex told me I can not park the new toy here. (It's a bit ghetto fore sure, they are afraid someone will live in it.) The good news is my friend from college said I could park/live in his backyard for $200 a month for the next year! (includes wifi, electric, and water) Sa'weet! My lease is up in 2 months... that means I have $1000 a month to put into my machine. I own a smart car for the daily driver... so I am having the Engine, transmission, drive train and clutch on the new machine, all restored to 2016 standards. I also found a RV collision/restore company that is 6 blocks from my new residence. What I can't do... they sure the hell can!. So let the full restoration begin! I will post before and after pics of every step along the way. P.S. I am 50yrs old and have no kids... I am going to spend the cash even though I know I will never get it back!... it is going to be and for, my pleasure.
  4. Hello everyone, My name is Berticus and I just purchased this 1977 20r! She starts right up, and shifts smoothly. She is pretty clean for a 40yr old machine. I plan on remodeling her with a few changes. I am getting rid of the oven/stove as well as replacing the toilet with a compost. She has a new water tank and pump, but needs a little TLC. My first project of this kind. I will have a million questions. =)
  5. How reliable is the old 20R motor compared to the 22R or 22RE? Besides less horsepower than the 22R or RE, are there any other disadvantages? Thanks Steve
