Michael:
I used the ATT One Rate plan (which I think is the one you are
talking about)last year on an 8000 mile 21 state trip. Worked as
advertised. No roaming charges and no long distance charges. $59.00
for 300 min is what I paid. Only problem was we got out of range of
towers for periods of time in AZ NM other than that no problems.
Hope this helps.

Don't know what years they were made. Mine is a 1981 and has a R.B.R.
18 ft Mini-Cruiser rv on it. It has the Toyota L-deisel 4cyl at 62 HP.
looks like it's all stock. It has roof air and a ref. shower/stool
small bath. Dinnett in back microwave and tv / sink on the pass side,
of course sleeping area over the cab. I have looked on ebay and on-
line rv trader and everyother place I can to find another but came up
with nothing. I wish someone could tell me more about the years
manfactured and things like that

It really depends on how the unit was maintained and driven. Toyota
motors are one of the best out there. My 86 I bought last May had
72,000 miles on it, now it has 83,000 miles. The unit can last
forever, so I would say any mileage is OK, if unit is running
properly and doesn't seem to be using oil (check exhaust when you
first start it up). Good Luck, Nate

From what I have heard the lack of power is to be expected with that diesal

I had a 1982 Dolphin. They are pretty heavy..alot of wood. It
had the 20r with the 4 speed.. would have loved a 5 speed. I know one
of the good things about a Dolphin is they are still in business. Not
still making the Toyota's C class but I think the A class
motorhomes. Anyway. I think they would still do the rear axle recall
if it needed it done. I have never had more than 1 other person in
any of the rv's I have had at one time. I am sure it would be gutless
with 5 adults.It is with only myself, but gets you where your going.
And alot cheaper on gas than anything else you could buy. and
nothing beats the dependability of a Toyota.
Drive it a ways to make sure it doesn't overheat. Look for signs of
leaky roofs, the front timming cover seals leak sometimes, the one I
had I had 2 years ago and it had only 21,000 miles. I think the
Dolphins are the most popular. anyhow..good luck. Check it out real
good. There are alot of good deals,,and alot of really bad ones..Tommy

A Few Off-The-Wall Questions To Consider: Where are you going
to put those 5 or 6 guys?.. Does your home state require seat

Hi All,

I am new to the club, and would like to hear some feedback

regarding

what to look for in getting an older Toyota Dolphin (80 to 85). I

am

looking for something affordable 5k or less, but dont want a lot of
hassels. Is this possible, or am I being unrealistic. I noticed a
previous post that warned about the 4 cylinder engine vs the v6. I

am

not very concerned with power, but will often times have about 5 or

6

guys riding in the rig.

Any feedback you all might have would be helpful. Thanks in

advance.

Thanks Nate,

What in your oppinion (objective, I know) would be the highest amount
of milage you would consider with one of these jobs? I can do some
simple maintenence, but dont want to get involved with costly repairs.

Thanks.

It is very possible to find an 80-85 Toyota camper for under 5K.

Check

to see if the rear end is a true 1 ton, six lugs (read archives,
axles). I would also recommend you get one with a manual

transmission,

which is much easier to find in the early 80's models. More

dependable

and cheaper to repair. I would look under our bookmark section an
go to the RV Trader link, over 100 Toyota campers listed. Good Luck

in

you search and if you have any more questions feel free to ask the
group.

Interested in a 1990 Odyssey Santa Cruz 22-foot mini-motor home on a
Toyota 6 cyl. chassis? Will sell ours in Miami, FL. Asking $11,900.

Hello All:
I purchased a Diesel 1981 Toyota Mini-Cruser 18 ft motorhome. The
engine runs great and since I have driven it only twice it seems to
run good.My question is : What speed should this MH run from the two
time I have driven it the top speed seems to be about 55 60 with a
tail wind. is this normal or should i be looking for a problem? It
has a 5 spd and a ton rearend (new Toyota recall replaced so i was
told). Thanks for any help.

My granpa has a Chinook, with the wide bak tires. Has never had any
problems with the rear end (150,000 miles). They are very light weight
fiberglass and only about 17ft long and do not have alot of
extras(weight). I wouldn't worry about the rear end on a Chinook.
Nate

Jack,

I have never seen a chinook with duals. I don't believe they have the axle
problems of some of the toyota rigs. They are much lighter.
