Hello all, I bought my 1987 Dolphin with everything including manuals EXCEPT the original house battery AND, curiously, the battery manual. So not sure what specs a replacement battery should have. Could anyone help with this? Thanks in advance, PJ

In our search for a Toy which is close to home, we found two Sunland Expresses within a few hundred miles of each other. I had never heard of these, let along seen one. This is turning into the children's story about the three bears: The first one had a bad coach, but pretty good chassis (for the Northeast anyway), the second had a really great coach, but bad chassis, bad even for the Northeast. So the queston is, how crazy is it to even consider taking the best parts of both by putting good coach and good chassis together, which would be JUST RIGHT! Thanks-

Hi All- As I'm starting to get my 1987 Escaper geared up for a big summer I noticed that the bathroom door is hanging up on the ceiling a little bit. It appears that there's a slight bow/ sag to it. I haven't seen any evidence of a real leak, so I think it's akin to a sagging headliner in a car. My primary question; what's generally between the ceiling wall paper and the roof if I were to try to sort out this minor annoyance? The rig is primarily stock, so I don't anticipate it's anything different than the manufacturer intended. If I have my druthers I'll be back with some update and travel photos in the coming months. Thanks everyone. -Matt

Year & Model: . 1992 Toyota Winnebago Itasca Spirit 320RB I want to replace the foam-rubber seal / weatherstrip / moulding that runs around the inside edge of the passenger-side coach entry door. Looks like I'll need about 20 lineal feet of seal. a) . Do I need to use the Winnebago OEM replacement part? . If so, from where do I order it, and how much will it cost? b} . Or, can I use an inexpensive, good-quality, functional equivalent from eBay, Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, RV Parts Country, Camping World, Autozone, O'Reilly, Napa, or other supplier? c) . Please make suggestions and provide links if you have them. In cross section view, the existing seal resembles a very broad and open "V" shape, with about 120 degrees between the two "wings" or "sides" of the "V". 1) . One wing of the "V" is flat and adheres to the door. . I call this the flat wing. . It measures about 3/32" Thick (in cross section) x 7/16" Wide (in cross section) 2) . The other wing of the "V" is curved [curved concave towards the middle of the "V"] and gets thinner toward the tip of the "wing". . I call this the curved wing. . This curved wing measures roughly 3/32" Thick x 3/8" Wide. . [The convex side of the curved wing is the surface that presses against against the door frame when the door is closed, thus sealing the gap between the door frame and the door.] See attached photo: . In the photo, the seal is standing on the flat wing (adhesive side down), and the curved wing is projecting upwards and to the right. [Note to Website Staff: . As I was creating this post, a spontaneous emoticon kept appearing in place of the characters "b)" . I was finally able to suppress the spontaneous appearance of the emoticon by replacing the text "b) . " with the text "b} . "]

Finally! We're at a point in which we feel pretty good about the interior of our 1990 Dolphin V6. Now on to the exterior. (PS - The photo on the fridge is from a month ago when our daughter tried her first lime!)

Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Matt and I'm the proud owner of an '89 Leisure Odyssey, Mesa Lounge style. This RV has been my project for almost a year now. It had extensive water damage in the rear and required new wood framing and panels. I have finally reached a point where the rig is almost finished. There's not a speck of rotted wood to be found anywhere in this thing. I've refurbished almost every nook and cranny. Here's my dilemma though: Now that its all legal and on the road I am noticing that when I park on relatively level ground, something doesn't look quite right about this rig! It was hard to notice on my slanted driveway (or perhaps I just blocked it out) but it appears the coach and cab are sort of cockeyed to each other! Has anyone ever experienced this before? I feel like I've seen several pictures of other Toyota motorhomes that had this same thing going on, but most only slightly. But on mine (particularly the passenger side) it seems pretty intense depending on what angle its viewed from. Here's some pics: The interesting thing is that the cab/chassis frame underneath appears to be perfectly straight. It's not like there's a big kink to be seen anywhere. Does anyone have any theories about what's going on here? All I can say is that there's a LOT of weight in the rear of this rig. It was designed so that the generator, air conditioner, water tank and up to three passengers where ALL located BEHIND the the axle. Probably not the best idea. Over the years it seems to have warped the shape of the overall motorhome. It's strange though because there wasn't any water damage to be found in the middle of this rig, only in the rear and a corner of the cabover. All wood in the middle of the coach is rock solid, haven't had to replace any of it. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this and knows of a solution or at least a place to start. One more note: Motorhome drives down the road perfectly straight and headlights are okay too. Perhaps a previous owner compensated for the tilt? Also, you are seeing the rig with about 80-90 PSI in the driver's side air bag (to help with genny, AC and full water tank) and probably 40-50 PSI in the passenger side. Thanks so much!!! -Matt
