waiter Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 How many gas caps have you bought for your Toyhouse? We won't ask "Why" you bought the cap(s), I mean, they sometimes go bad, right? Personally, I bought only 1 HOWEVER, I just heard that my Brother in law also bought one (They borrowed my Toyhouse for a vacation in Alabama). I was told to make sure I remind him of this because I specifically told him that when he stops for gas and removes the cap, to open the side door and put the cap on the floor inside the coach. (I'll fess up, I would have had to buy two more if I hadn't started doing that.)

Bob W. Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 My remedy. I have a locking gas cap and now leave the key, with my ignition key attached, in the cap and set it on top of the pump while I fuel up. Can't start vehicle and leave with out replacing gas cap.

Bob C Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I attached a stainless steel fishing leader to the gas cap with a po rivet and attached the other end to one of the screws next to the gas fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission mike Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi all ! haven't posted for a while but still visit this great site weekly. Yes we have lost our gas cap once or twice!!! the last time we where down in Baja Mex, we used a rag stuffed into the filler pipe for quite a while down there, an opportunist gas attendant sold us one eventually, but not a good fit, but the best that he had, when we got home I tried the gas cap off an old Mazda pickup we have sitting around, was a perfect fit! I like Bob C's method, think I will try that, thanks Bob. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBeery Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I carry a spare under the dinette seat. I have had my toy for two summers now and still have not lost the cap once. That's because I learned the hard way replacing the cap on a Renault LeCar three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craige Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Used the fishing leader but epoxied it to the gass cap and backed out a screw and used it on the vehicle end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
