Dick (and all new Toyota-camper owners).

There will be new things to fix on your
Toyota each time you use it, and at the
begining of each season. This is normal
,not only with an older unit, but with RVs
costing $100,000 and up.

These are complecated machines when taken
as a whole, but very simple when looked at,
each section at a time. Much of the work can
be easly be done yourself. If you take it to
the shop each time, you learn nothing, and
end up spending a lot of $$ for poor work.

Buy the Chiltons manual for the truck part
and read it over. Open the hood and look
at the parts as shown in the book. This
is a good start. You need to know your
truck as this is what gets you home.

Always carry the book with you. If you
break-down on the road, chances are unless
you are lucky [?] and can get to a Toyota
dealer, the mechanic you find will know little
about your machine, and will need to see the
manual.

The owners manuals for the 85-86 Sunraders
were written by attorneys. They tell you
very little about the cabin. In fact they
bearly even aknowledge the plumbing or
electric systems.

The fuse box for your unit is similar to the
one in your home, except it has fuses and
breakers for both 117 volts ac and 12 volts dc.

Many RVers flip off the breakers when they put
their units away for the winter. Check it out.

A hard learned tip here. Forget the running lights.
I've worked on the light systems on both mine and
my friends unit. What a corroded mess from the Michigan
winters. I had to cut out all the splice blocks and
hard wire. I spent two weeks on the first one. the
second unit I got smart and wired around every light.
Only took a few days that time.

Good luck and have fun. It's far less painful if you
look on all this as a hobby ;0)
