79 Toyota Mini Mirage

[Van Isl Bill]

Hi all. I just joined here. I'm amazed at the amount of information you have here. I had no idea there were as many manufacturers of Toyota Motorhomes. I was looking at a unit called a"Little Chief" a couple of years ago, but by the time I got the money together it was sold. I was kicking myself for not putting a deposit on it until last week when my wife and I stopped in to a local RV dealer who had 2 Toyotas on consignment. One was an 82 and diesel, but it was in pretty rough shape and the other was a 79, gas with just 70,000 miles. It had been on the lot for about a month, and when we took it for a test drive it started up no problem. We thought about it for a few days and placed an offer subject to a mechanical inspection. There are a couple of things it could use, but nothing urgent, so we bought it, and now we can't wait to take it camping.

The MH is called "Mini-Mirage", and I haven't seen anything on this particular make. The floorplan has the dinette in the rear with a fridge, closet and toilet/shower on the driver side, and the sink and stove on the passenger side and the door just aft of the passenger door.

The rear decal says "Mini-Mirage" and under it ways "Costa Mesa, California".

Has anyone heard of this type of MH?

Of course the next question which everyone asks is does anyone have an owner's manual?

Thanks,

Bill

Bill,

I'm not sure I'm using this right. I have a 1978 Mini Mirage. I would also very much like to find an owners manual. Did you ever have any luck? I just joined the Discussion Board today. Looks like lots of good information. Does anybody have ideas about owners manuals?

Thanks,

Steve
