Toyota fans, I have the summer off and me, my wife and 2 kids are heading on a road trip of epic proportions. I have done these trips in Vans and cars, but I just bought my 1989 Warrior for 10k and am looking for advice. We will be hitting 8k plus altitudes in the Rockies and also enduring some serious desert heat in AZ. Generally, I just need a list of to do's for the trip. The RV seems to be in great shape and only has 42000 original miles on it. Also, it's a California RV which means almost no rust or corrosion. I also have no idea where to take the RV for a checkup and Onan generator tuneup (161 total op hrs). So far this RV is amazing, but I want to be prepared for obvious eventualities. Are there any help videos that you have run across giving a step by step on the 1989/1990 warrior? GIve me your generous pearls of wisdom my friends and I will be most grateful!

I just bought a '75 Toyota Chinook, and I'm about to embark on a cross-country trip, taking it from San Francisco back home to Maryland. I'm looking to connect with others who can give advice and practical tips for my journey! And..... recommendations for awesome Toyota mechanics along my trip in case anything goes down. The truck is in great condition, with lots of work to the engine over the last 2 drivers (and records for past 10 years). I have some super basic maintenance skills. Knowing that this is a 40year-old truck, and knowing that I haven't owned it that long, I'm predicting I'm likely to get into situations over my head, mechanically. But armed with a AAA premium membership and a lot of stress-reduction training, I'm going to attempt the journey. Are there any mechanics you know who are great with old trucks? Do you have ANY OTHER ADVICE for me before I leave on this foolhardy adventure? General Trajectory: Sacramento -> Tahoe -> 80 through Nevada and Utah -> Denver -> Black Hills, SD -> Minneapolis -> Chicago -> Detroit -> Pittsburgh -> Silver Spring, Maryland
