Doug, I agree with you. I have been told the same by multiple mechanics from
The Toyota dealership, Midas, a Napa auto care center and on and on. Currently landlocked in st. Augustine due to this same issue and quite frankly, I’m shocked because I heard nothing but 22 RE’s were easy to work on and to find people to work on them.?
To piggy back off this issue, I find that no matter what the repair might be, I can't find a shop that wants to work on my rig (1987 Sunrader). It would be a huge benefit to Toyota camper owners, if there was a directory of shops in cities or states of the members of the site. I live in Tampa, Fl and will add listings, if and when I use them. We could also give a rating and post comments. If this already exists, forgive my ignorance and point me to the list. If not, can a list be created that each person can contribute?
I just talked to Rudy at California Mini Truck.?
He has a rebuilt engine and he can do the install for about $5000 total.
This place has been around since the 70's and has been the go-to place for parts for our rigs for a very long time.?
A long tow but I think it would be worth it. He said he could have it done in about 3 or 4 days.?
Better tell him your girlfriend called for you cause he's going to know you're not me. He knows it's a Sunrader not just a truck. He had no problem with that
