For sale is my lovingly cared for 1986 Toyota Dolphin motorhome. She's 30 years old this year so I'm hoping she'll find a new home and life with a new owner. This classic is in exceptional condition, as you can see from the pictures, and is almost completely original (replaced items noted below). She only has 56,437 miles and just came back from a 2,198 mile trip to Colorado where I averaged 15 mpg. That's right, this Dolphin has the legendary Toyota 22RE 4 cylinder, fuel-injected engine, thus the good gas mileage. She performed flawlessly in the mountains but certainly no speed records were set going uphill! EVERYTHING on this motorhome works perfectly including cab air conditioner (new factory-original Denso compressor replaced July 2015 - see picture demonstrating how cold the air is), cruise control, 2-way refrigerator, Onan 3000 watt generator with remote start and only 141 hours, propane furnace, new Atwood 6 gallon water heater(I replaced the still working pilot type water heater with a new one which will run on 120V or propane and has electronic ignition), 4 burner range AND oven, separate shower/toilet/sink, full-length clothes closet, separate gray/black storage tanks, main and auxiliary gasoline tanks totaling approximately 45 gallon capacity. The original rooftop air conditioner was non-functional when I obtained the RV and small BTU rooftop A'Cs are hard to find AND typically draw more current than the generator can handle. So, I decided to pull the old rooftop unit and replaced that with a 12V Fantastic Fan that has 3 speeds and blows both out and in. For the coach A/C I purchased a new Frigidaire 8000 BTU small window unit -- see pictures -- and made an easily assembled/dissembled frame for it that simply locks into the slider window casing. This way it can be stowed during non-summer periods and reinstalled in about 5 minutes. The best thing about this window unit is it has remote temperature sensing. The handheld remote control can be placed anywhere in the RV and the A/C will sense the temperature in that location -- say the cabover bed -- and maintain the temperature thermostatically based on that location. This makes for much more even cooling inside.The cabover bed is a full size but queen sheets fit nicely. The couch also converts to a full-size bed and the dinette to a twin. The factory cab radio was replaced with an Alpine CDE-164BT receiver with USB, CD, and Bluetooth. The receiver was professionally installed with awesome sub-woofer and remote speakers in the coach area and has an amazing sound.Per the previous owner, all 6 tires were replaced in 2014 and now have only about 10,000 miles on them. New brake shoes/wheel cylinders were installed this month (front disc pads were inspected and were in great condition). Vehicle inspection was just completed this month. Payment will need to be in cash only. Also, a wire transfer deposit of 10% will be needed to hold if you're not nearby.
