These are easy to fabricate. If you can't do it, there is probably a shop nearby that can. Shouldn't cost?too much.

Re: 22RE lost water,antifreeze
that depends on where the fluid is coming from. could be a hose, a hole in radiator, or even a blown head gasket.

Hello Everybody,
?
I have the 1991 21 ft Warrior, V6, mileage almost 60k.? It hasn’t been driven for many years and obviously requires a lot of work. The engine will not start.? All tires have to be replaced. I am not able to do much work myself and it does not seem to be possible to find in my area a shop, interested in such kind of work.? I'm giving up...
?
Anybody interested to have it?? Located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

Current picture attached.

Best regards,

I would just go to the Toyota dealer I’m sure they could order it. Might be a little expensive like 7$ or something but the headache saved alone would be worth it.

Re: Headlight screws 97 Spirit
Lori,
I suggest an Auto Supply store (Advance, Auto Zone, O’Reilly’s, etc.), a specialty fastener store where tradesmen go for hardware, or maybe a junkyard where you could remove what you need from an older Toyota.
Good Luck!!

Headlight screws 97 Spirit
Hello all!? My Spirit, basically a Dolphin with a different layout, has one headlight that the upper screw broke off so headlight flops and mostly shines up at a tree.? I took the old bolt to Lowes who had none that matched.? Surely it's metric but I have no idea what size it is or where to get a replacement.? Google has not been helpful . . .? any leads?? ?Thanks,? Lori

Sorry Linda, I have several sets of Toyo tires, all state Made in USA.? My 84 Dolphin does not have Toyos but the tires are made in USA.? Still, I will buy nothing but a USA made tire.
George?

We're talking Toyota campers here and Toyo doesn't make any tires in the right size. Besides most Toyo tires are made overseas
?Toyo's
manufacturing facilities can be found in Germany, Hungary, Thailand, Taiwan and China
?
Haida makes great tires but for tires tested and run by many I would go for Thunderer or Hankook.?

I had Hankook on mine for 8 years and they were great. I just replaced them(because they were 8 years old) with Nexan. I have about 7,000 miles on them & they seem fine also. I didnt go with Hankook, because I had a hard time finding them locally. My buddy that owns a local tire shop recommended the Nexans. so far, no regrets.

Re: What is Best Way to Remove and Replace Dometic fridge from 18 ft 1986 Sunrader Shorty?
Sounds like a nightmare for the both of you Julia. My fridge fit out that passenger door, but just barely. Remember next time someone tells you it won’t go out that door to ask them how they think it got in there in the first place.
Sounds like maybe your guy was do0ing it alone. There’s a good chance that if he had a helper, and tried turning it sideways maybe, it would have fit.

I will only buy a USA made tire.? I use nothing but Toyo tires.

A quick Google search told me Haida tires are made in China and Waterfall in Turkey. I had a set of Chinese tires wear out on me in less than 1000 miles ten years ago. Chinese tire quality may be better now, I don’t know. Hankook Vantra 185R14C tires are
$116 each now on Amazon;; they were the lowest priced “name brand” tires I could find when I put them on my Dolphin a year ago. I like them fine, very little wear after 3000 miles. I would be wary of generic brands selling for half that price.

Hi Fellow Toyota Camper Owners,
I am shopping for new tires. ?In the past, manufacturers have come and gone making the size and specs needed for our rigs.
I recently came across the Haida and Waterfall brands, carried at Walmart, for very attractive prices, in the mid to high $60s per tire. ?I need 2 sets, and my current tires are 185R14C.
Have any of you had any experience with these brands and tires specifically for your Toyota Campers?
Thank you for any input.

Re: What is Best Way to Remove and Replace Dometic fridge from 18 ft 1986 Sunrader Shorty?
That is what I was told too, remove passenger seat and out that door.? But the handyman I hired to remove the fridge that way, was cursing me, cos fridge didn't have the clearance to go out that way.? He had to cut off the cooling unit pipes in the back, and all the ammonia came out, and his face was all streaked with tears.? - Julia -- Julia - Scottsdale, AZ

Re: Accessing the front center clearance lights, 1991 toyhouse
I use a couple of 2x6’s laying across the fenders. Under the 2x6’s I use a couple of folded up beach towels to protect the fenders.

Re: What is Best Way to Remove and Replace Dometic fridge from 18 ft 1986 Sunrader Shorty?
The fridge goes out the passenger door once you have removed the seat.
