blazar4151 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hey there everybody. It is with a heavy heart that I have decided I no longer have time, space or money for this project of mine. I tried to post in the for sale section but for some reason it is coming back as a dead link... We bought a 1984 Toyota Dolphin 21' from a guy in Grand Junction, CO in the dead of night. Turns out it was a salvage title and we have spent the last two years patching it up while living in it and traveling. We turned 100,000 over on the odometer on this 22RE Automatic (4 speed with an overdrive). We actually got an insurance payout for some damage done to the camper by a distracted motorist and the estimate at the time for value was $7500. We took that money and bought several appliances fo the camper and like I said.....heavy heart, don't really want to let it go. However, it really would be best for someone who wants to replace the interior and possibly do a whole refurb on the outside as well. It runs and drives and we just took it from Washington to Illinois through Yellowstone and Badlands and it does just fine. We all know how fast they go. This one has a full size spare and all new Hankook Vantra LT tires. Helper springs on the rear leaves, new muffler, new black tank, solar on the roof, inverter in the closet, 3 way fridge that works (not original equipment), Dometic toilet with ceramic bowl, water system that works (not hooked up, needs a bit of hose), two maxxfans with rain guards....led lights, bluetooth stereo for the cab and new driver/passenger seats we got out of a Nissan Pathfinder (much nicer than stock). True dually rear end. Oh yeah and three 200 amp hour deep cycle batteries. We sealed the roof and it doesn't leak, like I said, we bought it salvage and patched it while living in it so it needs some attention and time. But I think we've got just over 107,000 miles on it right now so there are lots of legs left. Anybody have any interest? Currently in St Louis, MO. (The cab will need a repaint due to an unfinished project I started, it has been primed although not well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) If it has the 5 lug rear axle I doubt you’ll find any takers. Can’t tell with the hubcaps on. Good luck. Update: Just saw you said you had the true duelly rearend. Best to pop a hubcap so buyers can see there are 6 lugs.

john*thomas Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Interest? Of course but you don't provide anywhere near enough info for a real interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazar4151 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yeah it's got the 6 lug rear end. Thought there was enough info on there to attract some one interested in picking up this vehicle and start the conversation. Does anyone know why the Classified page isn't working?

john*thomas Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It just doesn't work. Hasn't really for a good while it seems. You likely need to start with a price to gain much interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 No I think he is presenting his motorhome just fine. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john*thomas Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 You've put a lot of money into this and it should make a good base for someone wanting to make one their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
