Dolphin 1992 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Got it from my parents, as they have both passed away.They bought it new and took very good care of it,very,very fussy people.It has 39,514 miles on it with the V6 and full floating axle.It was used mainly for transportation from Iowa to there early winter home on Table Rock lake in Arkansas,then on to there full winter home in south Texas where they had a park model. With a few summer campout trips with freinds from there r.v park in the summer up here.I have had it for 4 years now and as I have a 2nd place on the Mississipi river I do not ever seem to have time to use it.With all the great info I found on this site I have had lots of fun though checking everything over and getting to know it(the Dolphin).Everything works!Oven has never been cooked in.Has all the books and manuals that came with it.I checked the vin. with Toyota and all the recalls were done to it.The origanal flooring has never been walked on because my folks cut and fit carpeting over it so it would not get walked on.Since I have had it I have put around 250 miles on it and replaced ALL the fluids,the belts and idler pulley for a.c belt and just last year put on new Cooper 8 ply tires(all 6) that have less then 100 miles on them.It is stored in my machine shed up on jack stands and I start it every month and let it warm up good and let the tranny work in reverse and drive so the seals and gaskets stay good.So when I can get it out after the snow and ice let me get the door it can go out of I plan on getting some pics of it and start posting it.What does anyone feel I should get for it? Any one know someone looking for one?Can be see in N.E Iowa.About 50 miles North of Cedar Rapids Iowa, 2 miles from the town of Maynard.The only things I can find that need fixed/replaced are the shower pan was cracked from them taking a small freezer with them down south so they had there Iowa beef and fish,which I patched with epoxy and the right side bunk area did have some water leakage,Not all rotten by any means though, and I remember my father telling me he had to have that window seal fixed and it never leaked on them again.But dad put that clear silicone around everything so he did not have to worry about it again,and that is one thing I was alway going to try and get off but never have taken the time.Sorry for the long post,just want to get some ideas.

Vanman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Does it have a generator, if so what kind? Does it have a rooftop Air conditioner? Is that the one with the floor plan with a captains chair to the left of the cab door as you enter? Also does it have a sunshade, if so what size, brand? I have seen more than one floor plan that was supposed to be a 900. Thanks vanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 As far as I know, the 900 has the couch behind the driver, dinette on the passenger side. Coach door immediately behind the passenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayoff53 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 What does anyone feel I should get for it? I can tell you that I bought my '92 Winnebago for $12,000 last October and haven't heard of anyone paying more than that for a similar rig recently, so that might be near your top end. My rig has a generator and had only 27,000 miles and was in excellent condition all around. At the other end, my brother bought a '90 Sea Breeze (same maker as your Dolphin) last summer - equipped like yours but more than twice the miles and with a number of structural, mechanical and cosmetic issues - he paid $6,000. The way you describe your Dolphin, it sounds like a $10k to $12k unit, but prices can vary a lot with the season and and other factors. In the end, it all comes down to what a willing seller is willing to take and a willing buyer is willing to give on a given day. Good luck, and let us know how it comes out!

Dolphin 1992 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 dayoff53,thanks for the feedback.Wow $12k sounds like a lot.But also you have a very nice looking unit.Like the awning also!What part of the country was yours found at,if I may ask? I was thinking starting at $10 and go from there.My idea is that these toy,s are kind of like buying land,as land is getting higher every year....and they are not making any more of that as well.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I feel your pain. 4"-6" of snow forecast for tomorrow within a couple of hours from me. I'm hoping to 'dodge the bullet'. Only 2"-4" forecast for here. Glad I decided to keep my snow tires on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found mine on craigslist minutes after it was listed for $15k. There were numerous serious lookers - and at least one offering full price, but his financing fell through. I felt lucky to get it for $12k. It's all about condition, and this one is in very nice shape. Nearly new tires, interior and exterior immaculate, 28k miles, engine recall work done, awning - it was the whole package that made it worth the price for me. Since I got it, I have added a 27" flat-panel TV, a spare tire and carrier, a jerry can and carrier and a few smaller things. I am really enjoying it.

deedles Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Over in the Oshkosh/Appleton. We've gotten at least 6 inches of the heaviest, wettest muck ever. Unreal. Can you take pics of it inside the shed and email them to me? We are in a serious hunt for a new motorhome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
