I had no idea that there were Toyota based RVs. I heard about this
site from the Rialta Egroup site, which I have been reading to
gather
info before an RV purchase. I currently have a 1999 VW Eurovan, and
it is already in the shop getting a new transmission (at 16K miles).
I have had much better luck w/ my two previous vehicles- a 1984
Corolla, and a 91 MR2 (which I still have) The idea of a Toyota
motorhome is very intriging, since I've never had any major problems
w/ either of these vehicles. But, I assume that there are no NEW
Toyota based MH's, so what is the last year that they were produced?
I would love to have a new/almost new one, figuring there would be
fewer problems. What can I look for in terms of latest model years?
I see from previous posts that there were Chinooks, and other
models.
If there might be a website where I could get this type of info,
please point me in the direction. Thank you for any help you can
give me...Mar
Mar, welcome to our list.
No, sad to say there are no new Toyota MHs or campers.
And this site, although new, has most of the info you
seek. Check the Archives.
I ran VW Vanagons for years, but went with Toyota as
VW parts were impossible to find outside of major citys.
If I looking for a later model Toyota RV (they made them
up into the 90s) I would consider a Toyota/Winnabago.
I looked at a 91, 22ft (6 cyl) for $12,500 last summer.
I have seen others in the $14k range. Many of the older
Toyota Mhs are in fine conditon, with low milage.
Check the RV ad sites on line and search the newspapers.
You are bound to find a one owner beauty out there.
