Re: 1989 Toyota Seabreeze
What about the rehab job has you feeling as if you can¡¯t do it yourself?

Re: 1989 Toyota Seabreeze
Unless you can do the repairs yourself or know someone who is willing to do them very
inexpensively, you are probably better off selling your ToyHome "as is."
?
Experience suggests you will not recoup the cost of the reconditioning in the price you get when you do sell it.
?
In the classic car hobby/business the standing advice is to buy a car that has already been reconditioned to
whatever standard you are seeking, because it will be much cheaper than reconditioning a clapped-out one.
?
Also, if you sell the rig "as is" and something goes wrong with the repairs, you;re not on the hook for it.
If you fix the rot and something goes awry after you sell it, the buyer may give you grief about it even
if you're not responsible for whatever happened.
?
Good luck,

Hi all - I have a 1989 V6 Toyota Seabreeze with about 75,000 miles on the original engine. Have had her since 2004 ¨C raised three kids, lots of camping¡ now we're headed toward retirement. Engine is good, no mechanical issues, had a brake job done about three years ago. She got into a fight with a tree in 2019, and the damage to the roof above the cabin door showed rot. The roof had leaks in the past but has not had any since we sealed it a few years ago. The cabin is in good condition and everything works. I¡¯m trying to decide whether to just sell the rig as is or invest the money to fix the roof rot. I¡¯m not even sure I can find anyone in my area (Durango, Colorado) to do that. Sell or rehab? That is the question. Thoughts?

Re: 1989 DOLPHIN FIBERGLASS
I have always used Zep and it lasts about 4 years but like another person posted for the first application you have to scrub the entire RV with bar keepers Friend then after that when it starts looking bad after a few years you just use zep remover and reapply.
|
Re: 1989 DOLPHIN FIBERGLASS
ZEP is a cheaper version of a product called PoliGlow. ?There are reports that it does not hold up as well as the true PoliGlow - which is the only one I have used. ?If properly applied PoliGlow can last 5-6 years, whereas the reports are that the ZEP may only last about half as long. ?
?
The important thing for either one is the preparation process. ?Either product will "seal in" whatever dirt or blemishes are underneath it. So careful cleaning is vital. ?For either one, multiple coats are necessary, 3 at least, and 5 is better. Therefore it is a bit labor-intensive for the best outcome. ?At least with the PoliGlow, I can say that you can expect to not have to do it every year.?

I am getting close to having the Dolphin ready to go. New tires next week.
When I bought it the gel coat had weathered down and the fiberglass was exposed.
I believe they call this fiber bloom (nothing to do with Spring of course)?
I have wet sanded and matched up the stripping which there is way too much of
in my opinion and if I was 10 yrs younger would remove and paint the whole coach
body to match the truck.
I would like to find something that would protect it and only need a once a year application.
I did the back with a ceramic product that really let the water run off of and haven't decided if
that might be an option to pursue.
?I did see an old post about a ZEP wet look floor polish and am curious if anyone has results on that or
has any other proven products out there to share.
Best,
David

If you buy any tire from Walmart free mounting comes with it.
When I went in for my appointment they said they couldn't install it on the RV and that I would have to take the tire off the RV and then they would Mount the tire on the rim for free which they did.

Re: 86 Toyota Sea Breeze, can anyone direct me to new tires here in Canada ??
Hi Folks,
Last Fall, October 2024, I bought 12 tires, online, 185R14D, from Walmart.com for $65 each, for a 1990 Winnebago Warrior 21¡¯ and a 1986 18RD Sunrader. I had been using 185R14C.
Supposedly, Load Capacity D is greater than Load Capacity C. Brand is Thunderer Ranger, which I believe is made in China. Anyway, great price, quick delivery, and so far so good. FYI.
Best Wishes to all, enjoying Toyota Campers.
Peace Be With You,
John Farrell

Re: 88 Sunrader propane regulator
Thank you, Linda . It was just very difficult to get off . It was on there pretty good and took some real strength to undo .
Appreciate your response very much.?
|
Re: 88 Sunrader propane regulator
You have room to change the regulator from your propane access door. Just remember they screw on counterclockwise and use some gas goop on the threads first. Ask any hardware store about the goop. Just tell them the paste to seal gas lines. Of course has your propane tank turned all the way off first.

Re: 86 Toyota Sea Breeze, can anyone direct me to new tires here in Canada ??
I don't have a specific suggestion but a couple of things that may help your search are:
?
1) the 185R-14 size used on our ToyHomes is the same size used on old VW buses/campers. You could
check out VW Bus-related content for suggestions.
?
2) In a pinch, I once had a 195/75R-14 tire installed on the right rear dually on my Dolphin at it
fit without issues. It wasn't the right load range and all the tires on it were very old so I replaced
it soon thereafter, but 195/75R-14 might be a more available size. Make sure they're the right
load range our (heavy) vehicles.
?
Good luck,
?

Roof leak and cabin door rebuild in Sacramento area
I've developed a small roof leak and the outer sheathing on my cabin door has come loose and ripped apart.? I'm looking for someone reputable in the Sacramento area that is willing to work on these things. I've got a 1985 Rogue. Wanted to see if anybody on the list has used anybody in the area recently that they are happy with. Last time I looked was years ago and it was a bit of an uphill battle to find someone to work on it. All help is appreciated! ------Andymon
