Happy Friday - I installed a new fridge (Whynter FM45G) on my 1990 Toyota Itasca Spirit and hardwired it to the fuse box. Last night it was working for an hour as I continued to work on the rig until I called it a night. Woke up this morning and went out to go work on her some more and I noticed that all of the power that comes from the new fuse panel is dead. Since solar was added to the rig, there is a separate fuse box than the standard fuse panel located under the couch which takes care of all of the standard electrical this vehicle was originally equipped with. This new fuse box powers an inverter, mppt controller, 2 - 12 volt sockets, and now a fridge. The only thing that works on this new fuse box is the mppt charge controller, everything else is dead. I replaced all of the fuses to see if that would restore any of the power but nothing. Couldn't find any pinched wires that would short anything out. All of the original electrical the vehicle came equipped with is working (lights, stove fan, etc.) What could be the issue here?

Hello, I have had my eye on the Sunrader since my friends owned one a few years ago. I have saved up some cash and am now very actively looking to buy one. I have done a bit of research on some issues with these RV's such as the real axle recall. My very first car was a 1989 Toyota pickup, so I am familiar with the chassis and how to maintain it. I am very anxious to buy a Sunrader, and I know ALOT of other people are looking to buy these also, so I fear I may be too excited when I find one i'm interested in and potentially costly maintenance issues may be missed if I don't look closely. I don't want to spend very much more than the sell price to get her ready to ride. I'm pretty car savvy, so I can tell old rotting tires and potential rust spots from something in new or good condition. So my question is: What other issues should I be keeping in mind and looking at closely as I do my shopping? Also: Are there any other Toyota models that have fiberglass bodies or aren't so suseptable to leaks? As much as I love the Sunrader, I am willing to look at other types since I would really like a rear kitchen and I haven't seen many Sunraders with rear kitchens. Thanks for looking and for your help!

Does anyone know about the 1985 Toyota Hilo 22' motorhomes? I cannot find any info on them and am looking at purchasing one. Do they have any known problems? what would be a fair price for one in good condition? Are they known for axle problems/being to heavy? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
